90% of Amazon.de is AliExpress with a 200-300% margin. I don't know about the other Amazons but it's definitely not only thumb drives.

It has become quite awful. I was looking for gloves the other week and I ended up buying them at Decathlon because the selection at Amazon was so terrible and untrustworthy.

This is the main reason i stopped using Amazon around 2 years ago and cancelled my prime.

Why not just go to the source (aliexpress) and save the large margin in exchange for a longer wait time?

I often find the Amazon ones to be within a buck or two, now that Aliexpress’ free shipping is gone on small items.

For a buck or two, I’m willing to take Amazon’s speed and easy returns.
