I often order small electronic components from Ali and this will force me to order larger quantities to make it worth it, leading to waste I might not use.
You can order similar within the EU but companies like mouser and RS have huge minimum order amounts which is why I went with ali in the first place.
- Markoff 8mo agoyup, these customs rules are clearly targeted against end users while benefiting middlemen who order more pieces they just want to make consumers to pay more and give more profits to useless middlemen, I was just placing yesterday probably my last order on Ali unless they won't resolve it somehow with big warehouses
- wolvoleo 8mo agoYeah and I hate those little web shops that add no value but just import stuff from Alibaba in bulk and ship it out for a 500% markup. That's the kind of "business" they want to stimulate in Europe, apparently :(
