minus-squareadarza@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·5 days ago Your 2nd gig job is demolition cleanup that may be some of it. but there’s also a lot of product on wb that was originally sourced from aliexpress to begin with… and there’s third-party merchants that sell their products on both platforms (and others, like ozon).
minus-squareSGforce@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up10·5 days agoEven here in Canada Amazon random junk prices are 2-3x that exact same junk on Aliexpress.
minus-squareCanaconda@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up7·5 days agoTBF that’s cuz you get next day delivery not 10 business days. Also with Ali there’s knockoffs of knockoffs you have to watch out for.
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 days agoWith Aliexpress, I expect cheap crap and I’m never disappointed. The key is to only shop for the kind of stuff where cheap crap is good enough.
minus-squareZeroPoke@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 days agoSometimes you dont even get that. Ive noticed this alot more lately. But atleast its a good tell I can get it on Ali for cheaper.
minus-squarekungen@feddit.nulinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 days agoExactly, I doubt that even 10% of products on WB are “original”. It’s all just flipping and dropshipping.
