Yeah we know, you said already. But I frequently buy stuff from AliExpress and I've only had a couple of problems, apart from those the stuff has all been fit for purpose, and it usually arrives pretty quickly considering the logistics (for some items shipping is slow and expensive, remember to factor that in when comparing prices). I just did an order for a few small things I might normally buy from Amazon, but I didn't need for a week, and sure enough it arrived in a week. And it's cheap, like me. Which I guess is why I suggested a $22 product* and you suggested a $220 product.
* 30% more with tariff?
