Does anyone else go looking on amazon because they used to have loads of stuff, but now there's just a few things over and over and over and they're not quite what you wanted. It's so full of promoted content and you keep thinking that somewhere on one of the pages there might be something new, but no, it's these same products again and again.
Amazon Canada is just a bunch of no name brand Chinese shit.
the hilarious part is that there is genuinely good Chinese products in 2024 but it's almost like Amazon wants to flood their store with over priced junk instead
Just go to AliExpress, same shit, half the price. Bonus points that while their initial results may not be exactly what you want their recommendation engine usually gets you there quickly enough.
Maybe it's just my experience, but I have yet to find something on AliExpress for cheaper than somewhere else.
There might be a bit of a knack to it. Anything brand name or bulk generally there aren't a lot of savings. With the right search terms you can usually uncover third shift items, whether that's you're thing or not. Anything you see on Amazon sold by companies with names like HSUUEHE are often 20-40% cheaper. You might need to dig a little, there may be 20-30 listings of the same product from different sellers, some just list things at the same price you'd see them on Amazon. Anything that looks mass produced on Etsy can usually be found as well.
Guess I gotta develop the knack. Thanks for the input!
Haha, tbh it stemmed from a mild fascination with the true range of utter crap and oddly specific items that are available on Ali. Mostly it went the other way (finding stuff on Amazon/Etsy that I'd seen on Ali and being a bit nonplussed with the price on the other platforms).
Edit: derped the image upload
Amazon
Vs
Ali
Interesting. That may be cheaper for you, but once I convert currencies and count shipping, that item costs a little over $1 more from Ali. And then the shipping is likely going to take 1-2 months. For me, it's cheaper and faster to order that item from Amazon.
Interesting, might be very regional, it's about a 75% saving for me, choice shipping typically takes about 7-10 days, it's free if you spend more than £8 (not sure of that's regional too though)
I guess it still pays to shop around
Amen to that!
When I look for electronic stuff, that's exactly what happens. It turns out some of it is good, some of it is awful, but there's absolutely no way to tell.
