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?

Both are mega companies rhat aim at eliminating your local suppliers. Once that is done, you won't be able to chose anymore. Bonus point, fewer headaches

    My local suppliers of cables appear to have already reached that point. They are taking identical low quality brands for a 200% markup on Amazon prices, which appear to be a 50% markup on AliExpress prices...
