SALT (Fashion Arc?) 🔆🌹🔰🌱

I buy a concerning amount of stuff from AliExpress, mostly generic electronics components. I love it so much and I would save so much money if I didn’t develop a shopping addiction. Here is my brain dump of tips to start buying e-waste from China: ——- Shipping is about 2 weeks and I’ve had no problems with quality. The prices are between 10-50% of what I find on Amazon. I can sometimes get a 5 pack of a component than I can get an individual unit for on Amazon. So I stockpile parts for projects for cheaper than it would be to buy as needed. Most of my purchases are from the bundles thing where you get free shipping and discounts so if I buy a handful of cheap components I can get $3 off a $12 order. Another good tip is adding items to your cart and watching the price fluctuate, you can save a few dollars this way. I haven’t had any problems with quality or shipping with these basic electronic components. If you are buying anything more expensive / higher quality then you should look for the “brand” blue icon thing. That means you’re getting from the actual company, such as seeed studio. Those won’t normally be in the bundles tab so you may have to pay extra for shipping. Take your time and price shop, some times it takes a while to find the right item and at the right price. I just bought gimbal motors for $7 that were normally $12 because I waited and shopped around. With the bundles page they give you free shipping on orders over $10, so I always place small orders. So far all I’ve gotten on there is generic electronics and a few Chinese brands selling electronics. Hope this helps!
