The problem with Wish (US) being a wrapper on top of AliExpress is that Wish now charges you state sales tax.

Ali does not and I doubt they ever will.

For pricier items, it can make a difference.

Interesting, wouldn’t AliExpress be building up big potential sales tax liabilities with US states?

I know I'm late to this, but it turns out they do collect US sales tax. Not sure about the others like taobao or dhgate, etc.

Yeah, might be okay for small overseas businesses to ignore economic nexus of US states, but I am sure some states will eventually go to great lengths to get their hands on big liabilities built up by big companies.
