And they enable the competition - Aliexpress has the exact same stuff as Amazon now, but at cheaper prices. And they are working very much on the long shipping times with warehouses around the world. Sure, the service and support is far removed from Amazon, but then prices for the same crap are often 50% less. Also to me it seems they are much harder on cheating sellers.
And Aliexpress also just refund you money if target delivery time of NN days run out. And then you get your afforable chinese crap for free with no requirement to ship it back to Aliexpress.
