Seems to me like over half the crap on Amazon is just drop shipped AliExpress junk anyway. Why not cut out the middle asshole?

Do you think AliExpress is manufacturing all that shit? It’s a digital storefront (middle asshole), just like Amazon. Difference is Amazon will refund just about anything with no questions asked. Ali will just tell you “better luck next time”. Not to mention that they blocked my VPN so I couldn’t buy from them if I wanted to.

Yeah it’s cutting out one of the middle assholes so it’s one instead of two. From the stuff I get recommended on Amazon it’s pretty clear they don’t care about false advertising either. Cant help you with your vpn problem though

It’s not cutting out anyone, it’s just a different middle asshole.

No it’s cutting out Amazon, as the stuff on Amazon came from Aliexpress already.

I tried buying from Aliexpress once, they rejected all of my credit cards, so I asked their support, who wanted documents from my bank, so I gave it to them, and crickets. Tried contacting them again, same issue. Whereas Amazon just works.
