Every purchase my fiance has made from an Instagram has been low quality Chinese junk. In a couple cases, we've found the exact SKU for sale on aliexpress for ~ 1/3 the price.

She doesn't buy stuff based on IG anymore.

It's ridiculous when some of the Instagram ads are drop shipped from China at 4x the price of AliExpress. At least relocate the product to the US for faster shipping if you're going to charge more. The fluffy soft shiba inu pillows are advertised at like $30 on instagram with 2-3 week shipping and AliExpress has the same lead time and they're $8.
