Yes!

This is the way. Why pay double for eBay or Amazon to ship me stuff from AliExpress anyways for like 5 day faster shipping at best.

But only for the same garbage that they will sell anyways. Shoes are leather and can be fixed and have been at a cobbler for like $40 to new. Clothing should be bought once and last at least a year if not much much longer. So I buy from better brands in person if possible.

I don't get why I should pay Amazon to be a shitty middle man that is trying to destroy the world more for my crap.

I only buy reputable brands from ebay or Amazon. Ingestible stuff usually locally if possible.

I bought from eBay recently and I got a package from Amazon. I don't buy from either anymore.
