I prefer getting my cheap crap on AliExpress. Returns are off the table (at least in my country, yours might be luckier), meaning you have to be careful about what you get, but I've had better success rates there on Amazon. The cheap sellers on Amazon get their crap from Alibaba anyways so might as well cut out the middleman, right?
Good point. The prices are much lower on the direct Chinese sites, too. If you want you can even go the other direction and pay 10-15% more by buying from Amazon drop shippers on ebay.
