AliExpress for Basics (lemmy.zip)

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?

I use AliExpress a lot for mostly fishing gear and non-electronic stuff like foot baths and organizers or simple kitchen tools (silicon spill guards for the hobs and oven, etc). I've bought a few electronics off AliExpress (glasses cleaner and laser thermometer). Most were utter crap, but the fg knot tying device works fine.

I'd avoid electronics there, personally.
