    tbf, it's more likely for communists to fuck that up as we celebrate "labor day" on the correct date

    "labor day"

    Time to take advantage of the sales on AliExpress while I still can.

    Also on a related note, Amazon sales are a scam; a sleeping earbud on AliExpress will be just $1.50 USD but on Amazon, the sleeping earbuds will be – what? – maybe $30 or even $40? Smdh... I am not even bothering to check the price for them now on Amazon, just saying.

    a lot of stuff on amazon is available directly on aliexpress/temu for less than half the price
    as in the exact same thing from the exact same brand
    the one downside is the shipping takes longer

    an example: i very recently bought a thermal printer from temu, it cost me ~$30 equivalent
    the literal exact same printer on amazon is currently at ~$70 equivalent

    Annoyingly Aliexpress now adds customs fees on to my orders automatically so the price is getting close to Amazon on some products. I have never needed to pay customs for an Aliexpress order until now, either via the seller up front or on delivery.

    I don't think I have this problem, or had it recently.

    It could also be because I had a lot of coupon money saved last time.

    I was in the United States when I last used it.

    It was better than Amazon even then, but maybe things have changed recently.
