Aliexpress used to ship almost exclusively from China, so your package took 4-6 weeks in a best case scenario.

The value prop of Amazon is (was?) getting your item fast (not cheapest anymore and certainly not highest quality).

AliExpress rarely takes longer than 2 weeks from china these days, and I’ve had AE ship from china and beat Amazon sending domestically before.

Amazon used to be the cheapest and fastest with the best customer support. They have slipped backwards on all those fronts.
