Show me a single example. Not to mention aliexpress shipping usually takes about 6-8 weeks.

There are no items where it’s 5 times as much for the same item with the same speed to your door.

I buy things in aliexpress all the time. You’re paying in unavailability. Much of the time orders are actually batched

Not quite 5x, but if you try to buy a HDMI cable off aliexpress, it takes about 2 months to get here. It's about half the price of similar length cable on amazon.
