The example I gave was $10. I suppose it's possible I'll get it cheaper on AliExpress, but how much cheaper?

As for shipping - if it's not urgent, I just put it in my Wishlist until I accumulate items beyond the free shipping threshold.

The only way to know how much cheaper is to look on Ali Express. That’s how I wound up there.

I don’t spend mental energy dealing with Amazon’s dark patterns and terrible search that is flooded with sponsored links for something I did not search for…Ali Express search is not great, but it is not adversarial.

But because it works for me doesn’t mean it works for you.
