Best place to buy replacement parts for a laptop? (lemmy.world)

I've got a Dell G3 3579 that's in a dire need of a battery and a bottom panel replacement. I've thought of buying them off aliexpress, but I'm a bit skeptical of it... So ig my question is whether it's OK to buy stuff like replacement laptop batteries off aliexpress.

E: I've checked, amazon does not ship to my country... I'm also technically asking if anyone knows any trusted good replacement battery manufacturers that I should look for...

edit: meant in general, not just amazon, added other

Any site you go with, I would make sure to triple check labels, reviews, warranty of laptop and the one offered by website.

Maybe more expensive, but warranty for a year, Newegg/Amazon/other also has some, and the one you mentioned.

Random search brought up Newegg:

NOTE: There are 3 different batteries for your Dell laptop model and they are NOT compatible, please compare your original battery with our photos to make sure it can fit. Type: Lithium-Ion Technology Voltage: Fit 7.6V Dell laptop Capacity: High Performance 62Wh Cell: Premium Quality 4-Cell Warranty: Full One Year Compatibility: 100% compatible with specific laptop models, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless performance. CE and RoHS Certification: Certification ensures that the battery complies with safety and environmental standards Long-Term Reliability: Our batteries are engineered for durability, with a focus on maintaining consistent performance over time.

Yea Dell machines can refuse third party batteries even if they're physically identical

It's worth checking for that

I've thought of using Amazon, but it's not really a thing in my country, I don't even know if they ship here, furthermore I've never shopped on Amazon before, so I have no idea how it works...

(I just checked, Amazon does not deliver to my country and Newegg is an American thing afaik)

And even further more, I don't know which are the "trusted" replacement battery manufacturers
