Amazon has gotten so bad about this stuff that I consider those "shady sellers" on Ebay to be a better bet than the ones on Amazon.

At least on Ebay, I can tell right away if a seller is shipping from China. I can't see that on Amazon until I go to the checkout, and see that it'll take several weeks to arrive.

I goto aliexpress I paid $9.70 for a 1m micro usb cable. oh, wait that was 10 of them. versus $2.86 for one on ebay or 4.99 on amazon. versus $10 at the store.

not affiliate with them, but if your going to by cheap shit from china why not go direct and get it the cheapest.

Plus, when you go to look at reviews on Aliexpress you know they're from people who bought from the seller you're buying from, not some unrelated supplier whose genuine listing a scammer has subsequently latched onto.
