Thanks a lot.
I wouldn't go for almost any online store if I look up luxury items anyway. ;)
But when you want to get 4 cables of this kind, 2 cables of that other kind, 3 LED arrays, and 2 books -- which total $35 -- it feels pretty awful to actually have to pay about $65 due to delivery fees and whatnot.
So I am thinking that for all those smaller purchases I'll just go for Alibaba.
(BTW I also noticed our customs caught up on lower-cost items' VAT and it's not pleasant.)

Appreciate the feedback.
