I just skip the middlemen and use Aliexpress.

There, you'll see 95% of the electronics, tools and small appliances you'd see on Amazon.

The pictures are usually the same, too.

Heh because it's people buying on Alibaba then having it shipped straight to Amazon for FBA. I see and file the Customs paperwork on the shipments daily at work.

Yep. Same thing with Ebay. A good portion of electronics and other small items are straight from Alibaba.
