Amazon is literally just aliexpress with faster shipping at this point.
- prmoustache 1y agoIn my experience, Amazon is also generally more expensive than online shops specialized in one domain for branded non generic aliexpresslike items.
- terribleperson 1y agoWith the exception of those shops who sell on Amazon, who have to offer a better price on Amazon than on their own site. I'm noticing an increasing number of brands who don't have an official Amazon presence, probably for that reason.
- mook 1y agoHmm, does AliExpress do inventory commingling too? I see that they do seem to have something about managed inventories… because I was originally going to say that things bought from "flagship stores" on AliExpress might be more likely to be authentic, but now I'm unsure.
- dotancohen 1y agoCables and chargers I will only buy from the official Ugreen store on AliExpress. They are excellent. All other cables and chargers I've seen on AliExpress on junk firestarters waiting to happen.
- prosopts 1y agoI've had a good track record with Ugreen too. Over the years I've picked up a bunch of their stuff.. adapters, cables, mounts, whatever, and every single purchase has been sturdy and reliable.
- stavros 1y agoI also buy Baseus, though good luck figuring out which of the ten stores is the official one.
