Yeah, unless I need something ASAP, I usually only buy name brands, but not expensive items on Amazon. Other stuff I go to Ali for and just wait a little longer. Expensive stuff I buy in person or directly from the manufacturer when possible. Recently I've been trying to supplement Amazon purchases with small businesses where possible.
Exactly. My hobby is making my own smart devices, and I can get 10x of one sensor from Ali for the cost of 1x from Amazon.
