- edent 1y agoTo be clear £16 was the total cost including shipping to the UK. Took a week or so to arrive, and prices fluctuate all the time. So slower than Amazon shipping - which is usually same or next day.
- tehlike 1y agoA lot of stuff is practically free for shipping. For small items, 10+$. I bought a lot of 5-10$ things that costs more than 3 times on amazon. Aliexpress is much cheaper even if you include shipping if there's separate shipping fee. Amazon is convenient for speed + returns.
- kevin_thibedeau 1y agoThe shipping isn't actually free. It's artificially low with externalized costs because of the postal union treaty.
