    Honestly I’ve mostly been finding items cheaper on Amazon either because you’d have to pay for shipping on it, or because they just entirely neglect their website since nobody uses it.

    Also that only really applies to “real” brands, not the gibberish named brands. Those companies only exist to use Amazons brand registry for better SEO and probably don’t even have a website. AINOPE is not a “real” company, they just slap their name on whitelabel products. Of course the first random one I picked does have one, but it is more expensive than amazon.

      At least with AINOPE or GJHUIRAJ or MBHJOILJRE you can go to Ali Express and get it more directly from China, often for half the price.

        Yeah but you’re almost definitely not getting that within the 2-8 days the OP quotes, compare that to being able to get shit within hours in some cases through Amazon and it’s curtains

          Unless you don’t need your curtains right away and wouldn’t mind waiting a few extra days/weeks to get them much cheaper.

        I tried Aliexpress before, and they blocked my account for no reason and their support wanted a ton of my banking information then never resolved the problem

          That sucks. I’ve never had any issues. Are you sure you weren’t scammed? Being asked for banking information seems very odd.
