I've written a blog post on that very subject. Turns out you can have a $0.03 item mailed to you, including shipping, from China!

China subsidizes the postal service to keep up their exports.

Wonder how long that'll keep up given their current issues...

But you do have a have a lot of patience. It seems to be getting a lot slower. I just hit a new record: An item shipped on November 25th arrived last week to Canada.

I had package of green tea I ordered show up 7 months after I ordered it.

I've had both, between a week and 2 months. About 2-3 things never arrived, but ali (better said the seller) gave the money back each time.

Did you look for each one? Or is there a filter for that.

AliExpress is out of this world!
