Not if you live in the EU. If I want to buy a 50 cent transistor on Aliexpress I now have to pay 5€ in import fees. If I buy it from Digikey in the US it's 10€ shipping, but at least the shipping stays the same when I buy 100 components at once. You can't get that stuff locally because the EU is a consumer shithole that produces almost nothing of value and does everything to make it even more difficult for people to invent or setup businesses or do anything at all that isn't football or paying taxes.
