I often trust AliEx more than Amazon these days. At least one of the two isn't pretending not to be what it is.

Plus Amazon has a long history of screwing over sellers. TL;DR if your product is actually successful, they'll make their own "Amazon Basics" version of your product, then deprioritize you (or even ban you over an excuse). They do this a lot. There's a lot more than just this, it's just an example.

I trust Temu more than Amazon these days. Exactly what I ordered shows up, on or before the expected delivery date, and works.

I get NVMes from them now, 2.5G Ethernet switches, and lots of other random items for a fraction of a cost of playing the Amazon lottery.
