Literally the exact same thing.
I tend to use AliExpress for small electronic doodads and things like battery boxes. I'm not some AliExpress wizard, but I don't think the shipping is fixed per item (and I'm usually ordering several) and I think sometimes they batch orders together (which may lower the shipping price?). I don't know how to get a breakdown of the shipping cost I actually paid, which is one of the things that annoys me about the site.
- crazygringo 3y agoThanks. I guess I realize I'm talking about items that people are actually buying -- those show 1, 0, and 2 reviews. Just because when a product has virtually no reviews, the price is often temporarily crazy cheap (including on Amazon) as they're just trying to get people to buy and review it in the first place. Or it's basically a scam listing with a crazy high price so nobody's touching it except for a few people who aren't paying attention. So unpopular products don't make for a great comparison.
- tivert 3y ago> Thanks. I guess I realize I'm talking about items that people are actually buying -- those show 1, 0, and 2 reviews. IIRC, AliExpress lists items by "shop," and it honestly it doesn't seem like the listings last very long for stuff like this. I have no reason to believe any one of them are "better," so I just buy from the cheapest one. Even for Amazon listings for stuff like this, the listing come and go. For that AA power bank, this is the one I got initially (7 years ago), but the listing is no longer active: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HCBHZV2/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HCBHZV2/. It had 97 reviews. However, in this category, I tend to ignore reviews. None of the products are high quality or objectively good, but they're cheap enough (especially on AliExpress) that I'm fine taking the risk. ----- Here's another comparison for something else I know about $13.79 for 1x: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013FANC9W/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013FANC9W/ $1.88 + $2.44 shipping ($4.36) for 1x https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832834613884.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.ad0826acV63xQz&algo_pvid=58e33d73-804d-4360-a754-a9ac58c9ecb8&algo_exp_id=58e33d73-804d-4360-a754-a9ac58c9ecb8-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%212.35%211.88%21%21%212.35%21%21%402101f49b16959310634861587e0661%2110000002787234803%21sea%21US%210%21AB&curPageLogUid=TiBaYBz6Hgno https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832834613884.html?spm=a2g...
- crazygringo 3y agoOh interesting. And thanks so much, now I see what you mean -- yeah that's a very popular Amazon product so it's definitely a "real price". I'll have to keep an eye out now -- maybe it's more about cheap electronics? The products I've usually been comparing have usually been more home/office/kitchen type stuff. Thanks again!
