I'm not here to compare drop shipping and companies selling their own products. Sure, if you have a high probability that an item could get damaged in transit over seas, buy it from a local reseller for an increased cost. Makes total sense there. I'm talking about cheaper items especially the one this thread is about. Mine came in a well packaged box from Ali Express and like the other reviews said, everything was working. Can we agree that giving people the option to choose makes sense? Maybe someone would be willing to buy directly from Ali especially if they have the chance to save more than double what they would be paying. All about that risk to reward ratio
