Aliexpress search results are garbage. A dozen knockoffs of the same thing, sorting doesn’t work, and when you search for a specific part it shows you the price of the right product but the wrong variety.
But it’s cheaper than Amazon, cuts out Bezos, and for standard shipping is usually about as fast.

I cancelled prime a while back and I’ve been mostly trying to order direct from manufacturers when possible. Costs more but I figure that’s the price of not contributing to a known bad actor in some small way.
Thanks for the summary. I’ll keep in in mind if I can’t find a more direct route.

It’s probably still cheaper than prime. It hasn’t been worth the money for me for years. I still try to buy from local businesses that deserve support first, though.
