In any way you know of. I find people here are more aware of politics and ethics behind big companies and this is what prompted my question but I’m also curious about any other differences.
I’m in Australia and I’ve only used Ebay and AliExpress so far. I find AliExpress has more variety and somewhat cheaper prices but I don’t know why or anything else.
When I first heard about Temu it was always in relation to dodgy products and sex toys so I didn’t pay much attention to it, however lately I keep hearing about people buying regular stuff without issues. Never tried it myself though.
For somebody from a country that doesn’t have access to McMaster-Carr, Alibaba and Aliexpress are a fairly cheap and reliable way to get stock material for DIY projects.
I don’t know what local sellers of raw materials are thinking with their pricing. 3x Higher prices for the same shitty aluminum or brass stocks. Get fucked, I’m not made out if money.
