Sometimes, I semi-seriously wonder if it isn't better to just buy things from aliexpress.com. The products themselves mostly come from China anyways and many classes of items consistently seem to be marked up on amazon. And now we are left to wonder if the price deltas are helping middlemen retailers fund these review manipulation shenanigans, so why not just cut out the amazon exploit portion out of the equation?

Many of the sellers on Aliexpress are the same sellers on Amazon. The FBA model makes it easy to cut out the middleman.

The delivery takes longer but if I don't mind that then I just buy straight from Ali express.

Careful with battery and always connected devices, local market items and export market items are likely to run trough different lines with different markup targets and fault tolerances
