Aliexpress

[PrivatePilot]

Is it just me, or has AliExpress drastically increased their shipping fees? I remember when just about everything on their site was super cheap, but shipping was (literally) on the slow boat from China. I was fine with waiting months for the lower price. Now, it seems they deliver much more quickly, but prices are in line with amazon and ebay, in which case I'd rather deal with them.

I’ve moved over to Temu for a lot of stuff that I used to buy on Ali. Spend at least $30 and you still get surprisingly fast shipping for free.

I see Temu ads. What is it? I thought it was a version of Ali Express.

I agree with Adri. I used them to get my crash bars that GP Bikes was asking for $500+tax. I think I ended up paying less than +300 with shipping and import duties.

Also, right now fc moto has a black Friday sale with 15% discount

Gonna print out screenshots of those first four words and stick them all over the house for the woman to see.

What I can get from Temu instead, I do, if only out of loyalty because they've sponsored my YouTube channel, but Ali still has a broader selection of crap I need sometimes.

Last night I spent $20 on Aliexpress for two items:

Lens protector
Ali - $4
Temu - $4
Amazon - $9

AC Power Adapter
Ali - $16
Temu - Not available
Amazon - $27

The good news: I paid $20 instead of $36.

The bad news: Instead of getting the stuff today like I would have with Amazon, I'll have to wait 2-3 weeks.

Some stuff I'll gladly pay a surcharge for, for the convenience of my next day deliveries with prime. Other stuff I don't neeeed, I'm happy to pay 40% less and just wait.
