Ok, so I’m in need of some basics like USB cables, low ampage power adapters and all my local suppliers are overpriced IMO (€10+).

I feel that Amazon stuff is just repackaged AliExpress stuff, so I want to skip the middle-hand and buy directly from them.

Problem is, EVERYTHING on there seems like a massive scam (€0.15 for 5 etc). Is there any way to not end up with something potentially life threatening on AliExpress?

    Buy known brands.
    If you buy unknown, be aware that you could loose the invested money.

    Example: I buy only stuff that is somewhere betrween max 25-30€ per item.
    If it’s over (like my gl-inet router) I make sure the brand isnt a scam.
