They aren't quite dropshippers. Aliexpress has something like 9 weeks wait for shipping.

I happily pay 4-5x the price for a $1 part because I'll actually have it in hand this week rather than 2 months from now.

They will ship much faster if you pay for e.g. DHL but this is cost prohibitive for most people unless ordering in bulk. But yes, it’s totally rational to pay a premium to get parts in 2 days versus 5 weeks.
