You may as well buy from Aliexpress if you are shopping on Amazon. The only difference is the price and the transit time.

Aliexpress is great for the cheap useful stuff for around the house.

Electronics too (like LEDs, microcontrollers, and sensors not phones and TVs). Often brands have a store on both Ali and Amazon but Ali is cheaper with longer shipping times of basically a week to a week and a half.

Yeah, aliexpress is where I go to buy random PCBs for projects.

...and the fact that if you're straight-up scammed on Ali, no one cares? Whereas Amazon always refunds with no questions asked...
