Yes! I tinker a lot (3D printing, home automation, drones, etc...) and AliExpress is such an amazing place to buy components for 10% of the price I'd see in hobby shops or Amazon.
- judge2020 5y agoShipping is often 1-2 months out, though, and you often don't get refunds without a return shipping cost (as in, FBA has free returns). It's useful to think that the cost of shipping is built into the price on Amazon.com and not on AliExpress.
- belval 5y agoTrue but even then for $2 shipped I get an ESP8266. On top of that most sellers are really accommodating if the package is lost and will send you another (sure that means in total it takes 5 months for the chip to get to you).
