>and the results are all overpriced junk

Oh, the funny part is, for most of this junk you can find exactly the same items at Aliexpress with the same pictures and Chinglish descriptions at a fraction of the price...

Prior to the postal and tariff changes, I bought a lot from Aliexpress. A lot. I still buy from there, but now I check to see if the same item is sold on Amazon. If I can get it in 2 days instead of 20-30, I’m often willing to pay a 5-10% premium on a low value item, just for the ease of return if nothing else.
