AliExpress prices don't include shipping, which are effectively baked into Amazon's pricing to cover SuperSaver & Prime customers.

A lot of stuff is practically free for shipping. For small items, 10+$.

I bought a lot of 5-10$ things that costs more than 3 times on amazon.

Aliexpress is much cheaper even if you include shipping if there's separate shipping fee.

Amazon is convenient for speed + returns.

		The shipping isn't actually free. It's artificially low with externalized costs because of the postal union treaty.

To be clear £16 was the total cost including shipping to the UK.

Took a week or so to arrive, and prices fluctuate all the time. So slower than Amazon shipping - which is usually same or next day.
