I ordered a set of wire spools[0] from AliExpress for $30 and I kid you not it was drop shipped from Sparkfun[1] from the US.
Usually it works the other way around.

- amelius 3y agoI once ordered such a set from AliExpress. It had silicone insulation, making it the best set I ever used because it can be soldered to anything without the insulation melting away. Perfect for prototyping.
