- stonegray 3y agoThere were cases available with a slide out keyboard for the iPhone 6, it looks like they cost ~$14
- girvo 3y agoThose used Bluetooth and were horribly thick and you had to charge their battery and so on
- obilgic 3y agoWhats the verdict on temu vs aliExpress. I still find things %30 cheaper on AE while most of my orders are delivered within 6 days.
- kshahkshah 3y agoOut of curiosity, what types of goods do you get from those websites?
- OJFord 3y agoAnything where you're actually ok with all the NEUVWY branded junk on Amazon but want it much cheaper in exchange for possibly slightly slower delivery and a horrible browsing experience.
- RuggedPineapple 3y agoOr free if you're willing to put up with REALLY slower delivery. I ordered a 20kmAH battery with fold out solar panels off wish. 4 months later with it undelivered and tracking no longer active I requested and got a full refund. Two months later it finally arrived having gone the long way around the planet and held by Azerbaijani customs for several months.
- SCM-Enthusiast 3y agosounds like you got a free battery ;)
- stjohnswarts 3y agodid that with a showerhead, $80 on amazon, $30 on aliexpress, and it's actually quite well made (real metal) and seems to be great so far after a year. I'm sure there are a lot of duds though and it's caveat emptor, do at least a little research if you can find anything.

- cobbaut 3y ago> Chinese knockoffs and other junk products As if most of the originals aren't made in the very same factory in China.
- theflyingelvis 3y agoFor real
- serial_dev 3y agoSmart home stuff, keyboards are cheap and pretty good on Ali Express.
- behnamoh 3y agoWhen I wanted to build my own mech keeb, the components were available only on AE. On AMZ they were much more expensive.
- steve_adams_86 3y agoMy experience with keyboard components on Amazon in Canada is that they’re beyond prohibitively expensive. It’s absolutely insane. I could never wrap my head around why… Who’s buying it? I suppose impulse purchases because so many of them are hard to find otherwise, or you have to wait a while for batches?
- Scoundreller 3y agoThere's a ton of amazon.com stuff machine-reposted on amazon.ca (plus a $$$ Fedex/UPS fee to get it to you quickly after they receive it themselves in USA).
- obilgic 3y agolots of electronic components, modules, tools, etc... Things you get on Amazon for $10-15 range is basically $2-4 on AliExpress. If It's a big or $75+ item, usually prices are same as Amazon.
- blep-arsh 3y agoA 16" 4K USB-C OLED display (with a touch sensor even). It works exactly as advertised and looks really nice but is rather useless for me, to be honest.
- colordrops 3y agoCould you share a link to this please? I could definitely use this.
- steve_adams_86 3y agoThis sounds extremely useful to me! I’m building out a home assistant dashboard and would like a nice crisp display with touch. Why did you get it if it’s useless for you? Not being critical at all, more so curious how it turned out to be a bad fit.
- happymellon 3y agoI would guess it's something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005670832686.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005670832686.html [Edit] Ah no, it says 4k in the title but the description is 1080p. Try this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006407747752.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006407747752.html
- blep-arsh 3y agoIt's https://aliexpress.com/item/1005004110616192.html https://aliexpress.com/item/1005004110616192.html I think a regular IPS display would be way less susceptible to burn-in when used as a dashboard display, though. As for why I don't use it much: I thought it would be nice to have a second portable screen for my laptop instead of a proper desktop setup, but it's just mildly inconvenient to carry around and set up/pack away every time, and it offers way less usable screen area than a regular-sized display (unsurprisingly).
- rabuse 3y agoGreat, cheap flashlights with so many options for customization (Convoy).
- dave1010uk 3y agoAs well as Convoy, quite a few others also have official stores on AliExpress, like Sofirn, Lumintop, and Maxtoch.
- droopyEyelids 3y agoI fond them to have the same prices and mostly the same items but temu often doesnt have the really nice version of a thing thats basically from a “brand” in china Here is today’s random example: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mr2D3Y4 https://a.aliexpress.com/_mr2D3Y4 Couldn’t find anything like that on temu
- tauntz 3y agoI get so much Temu spam that I finally gave up and decided to check them up. I compared 3 random items that the spam in Instagram was about - exact same items were 3x - 10x cheaper on AliExpress than Temu (~0.50 on Ali, ~5.0 on Temu, ~10 on Amazon). I haven't looked further but my impression was that they just ship stuff from AliExpress with a X price multiplier?
