Your 2nd gig job is demolition cleanup

that may be some of it. but there's also a lot of product on wb that was originally sourced from aliexpress to begin with.. and there's third-party merchants that sell their products on both platforms (and others, like ozon).

Even here in Canada Amazon random junk prices are 2-3x that exact same junk on Aliexpress.

TBF that's cuz you get next day delivery not 10 business days.

Also with Ali there's knockoffs of knockoffs you have to watch out for.

Sometimes you dont even get that. Ive noticed this alot more lately. But atleast its a good tell I can get it on Ali for cheaper.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

With Aliexpress, I expect cheap crap and I'm never disappointed. The key is to only shop for the kind of stuff where cheap crap is good enough.

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 2 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly, I doubt that even 10% of products on WB are "original". It's all just flipping and dropshipping.
