In /csg/ we discuss the cheap shit you see on Gearbest, Taobao, AliExpress, Banggood, eBay and similar sites.
It's probably time to start thinking of getting that chink shit your loved ones wanted for xmas. Feel free to post your gift ideas. For reference, here are the lists for previous years. Be aware many of these products may not be available anymore:

gonna order from BangGood within the EU. VAT and shit should be the same for "EU Warehouse" and "FR Warehouse" right?
Lincoln Howard
vat should be included in the price already if you choose eu or fr warehouse.
Joseph Evans
A lot of my shit transit from Estonia these days: are the chinks getting ready for Brexit?
Ryder Mitchell
These pics with container ships listing and cargo planes burning always make me kek. I wonder how many chinamen have perished in order to get me my chink shit. We've all seen those liveleak videos.
Lincoln Clark
cheers
Adrian Garcia
if they are, they're ahead of the brits in that regard
Leo Fisher
>how many chinamen have perished in order to get me my chink shit another reason to buy chink shit
William Reed
They're like the pictures.
Camden Bell
holy fucking markup (top product from domestic "cheap finds" site)
importing taxes, shipping taxes plus markup for profit
Jaxon Nguyen
I just moved to Canada, how long does shipping take for chinkshit?
It used to take about 30-40 days for me in my shithole country, is it still the same?
Ian Walker
Recommend me SD/microsd cases, I looked at about 20 but I feel like someone here might know something better than the front few pages? also anything thats amateur photography/film is interesting to me if u have as bonasu
Josiah Flores
Yes but you will be able to get it faster from the local source, plus refunds etc.
i bought this. seemed like the best choice out of all of them. the two halves don't stick together all that well but i could put a rubber band around it and it would do the job better than the other ones i saw. its like 3mm thick so it might be too thick to carry in your wallet but i just have it in my desk to store sd cards
Connor Watson
>you will be able to get it faster Oh, you think!? golly gee I'll go right ahead and pay 7.5x more
Colton Sanchez
20-30 from China via Switzerland to the US from Banggood, maybe it's the same for syrupville.
William Evans
It's going to be more than 7.5x faster shipping than coming from fucking China. Sometimes that's worth it to some people.
Jeremiah Watson
Shit, I need my third hand/soldering station NOW. I CANNOT WAIT ONE MORE HOUR
Jeremiah Ortiz
Some people are legitimately like that. Why do you think Amazon Prime 2 day shipping is so popular in USA.
Jaxson Wright
sure. seeing now that the same product is £11.99 on Amazon UK
Cooper Adams
That's a lot better. Maybe your country is just retarded.
David Nguyen
Four to six weeks is fairly standard, two weeks for epacket. If it's Sunyou then don't bother, it won't arrive.
suck it wagie or that is coming out of your payslip
Ian Powell
Yea, there are quite a few marked up chinese items on Digitec/Galaxus anyhow.
Lots of people won't import from Germany, never mind China, and will pay the very much marked up prices. I don't know what it is.
Cooper Flores
does AliExpress Standard Shipping tracking really take a week to update? it's been 5 days and it still hasn't moved from Order information received by carrier
What are the best cheap wireless earbuds on aliexpress/chinese websites in terms of audio quality and battery life? Any of you guys ever tried them out? is it worth it?
Lucas Rivera
I'm going to guess it'll cost quite a bit more to ship to the USA for a while. Hard to say how much more.
But maybe small items will be very unattractive. Figures for items in the order of a smartphone or items that had to be shipped by larger courier freight anyhow (xiaomeme air purifier, bicycle, ...), it will not matter that much.
Jason Ward
Bought an Asus P45 LGA775 motherboard for cheap. Finally ended up putting my old dead PC together with said board. >works like a charm. >boots up straight into old OS without issues Based chinks. Couldn't get such board here for even a remotely decent price.
>What are the best cheap wireless earbuds on aliexpress/chinese websites in terms of audio quality and battery life? We buy a lot of cheap chink shit, but not THAT much.
People weren't too unhappy with the KZ or other models where the receiver is on the cables and detachable from the IEM, but they go more for midrange prices than "very cheap". YMMV if you're judging this by Applel Beats and Jaybird and other Burger urban hipster standards, then they're cheap.
Julian Powell
(cont'd) BTW people also seemed to like the Xiaomeme airdots. Might be another option. Also not that cheap by chinese standards.
Anthony Mitchell
Stop financing that dystopian totalitarian regime that steals our intellectual property and terrorizes HK freedom protesters and others.
I just did some research and found out they've got a few ones they claim are waterproof, waterproof levels ranging from IPX5 to IPX7 Did anyone ever try any them out on this general? By "cheap" I meant something lower than 50usd and higher than 20usd though If you're gonna pay more than that then it's worth to buy them somewhere else
Jaxon Butler
>Does not ship to I'm finding increasingly more listing on Ali with this. What did Jack Ma mean by this?
The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip.
The body count climbs through a series of globewars. Emergent Planetary Commercium trashes the Holy Roman Empire, the Napoleonic Continental System, the Second and Third Reich, and the Soviet International, cranking-up world disorder through compressing phases. Deregulation and the state arms-race each other into cyberspace.
By the time soft-engineering slithers out of its box into yours, human security is lurching into crisis. Cloning, lateral genodata transfer, transversal replication, and cyberotics, flood in amongst a relapse onto bacterial sex.
I have the KZ receiver and some IEM, they're fine. Sound obviously varies by earpiece model.
That said, I'm usually wired when I don't have to go wireless for comfort or safety reasons. Kinda prefer it that way, no charging anything; less of a hassle. Probably not getting a meme phone without headphone jack any time soon.
Carson Torres
Make a new one if you care? Shouldn't take more than 1-2 afternoons on a typical modern web stack if you are a Jow Forumsentooman programmer.
Jonathan Phillips
>I'm going to guess it'll cost quite a bit more to ship to the USA for a while China lowered prices for the US. Europe, and other countries will be fucked in terms of having to pay full price for shipping though.
Daniel Lewis
Ali hates iframe now so the old way of doing the randomizer won't work anymore.
Jason Russell
Can they really engrave my memes on it? That would be neat
Jace Barnes
are there any chink goods depicting the 'confused cat'? The one with the banana (on a phone atm)
Asher Perez
Wat? How?
It's not China or the EU leaving, it's the USA. Between China and the EU, the artificially low UPU prices will remain until the UPU itself changes things.
Plus the trade war tariffs should also become a problem if that drama continues.
Andrew Perez
You'll probably have to store the image and description text on the randomizer yourself. Not sure if scraping Ali is easy or not so easy with the correct framework, but at worst people will just have to save and upload the product image on their own to augment the linkage.
Still a trivial piece of software.
Sebastian Smith

Jace Wright
pic related? Maybe, but you could try "custom" whatever you want as search terms and just message the seller with the image.
Most of them buy it because it is 100% That they get it, it is easier and mostly faster, also the Payment options are better for swiss ppl (Postcard, Twint etc) also they accept BTC
Aiden Peterson
I've been checking reviews. Couldn't find many positive results for wireless earbuds though, they all seem to be mediocre at best. There's lots of good wired ones, but good wireless seem harder to find. What I'm thinking of myself are these bluetooth neckstraps with earbud connectors. They've got MMCX too.
USA pays the bulk of the UPU, and was/is subsidizing Chinese shipping to the entire world not just to the US. The Chinese will eat the tarrifs as they have had previously to the US, and the whole world will continue to spin. The only difference is that Europe, and other nations will pay more due to shipping (or China will lower prices for them). Also other countries have opened up shop like India, Vietnam, and some other low wages nations, so that might lead to even more international competition for at least some electronics, and more competitive/lower prices overall.
Robert Evans
Is that what trumptards believe?
Chase Lopez
Wait, and see. It's not a "Trump" thing, as much as an Obama folding on a bad deal to please the UN.
Lucas Hernandez
I generally don't trust chink waterproofing claims, even when they've namedropped some well-defined standard. Some stuff I've gotten that was supposed to be rated ip68, for example, could not survive any water exposure beyond maybe humidity, let alone being submerged over a meter for half an hour.
YMMV.
Charles Wright
> USA pays the bulk of the UPU I'm sure they contributed some to the organization, but IDK about "the bulk".
Sounds like typical burger hyperbole ("we pay everything" - but then you go look it up an the USA didn't do much and paid even less, particularly per capita).
Either way, the USA most definitely didn't pay shipping for everyone, the UPU just set the rules that for example make delivery and it's compensation in the final country not a matter of negotiations but a matter of rules. Obviously between the EU and China, it's just the respective postal services. Burgers don't pay this.
Jaxson Gonzalez
how is aliexpress for electronics? I want to get some stuff (a stereo for car and a hand vacum) and I don't know if it's a good idea.
Joshua Reyes
yeah that's the one
I was thinking some stylized sticker
Nathaniel Sanders
BTW this just means your local companies may now ask more money to handle the final delivery of any mid-sized item or such, because they now can. Maybe it'll cost $6 extra "foreign item surcharge" or whatever - they'll probably be creative with the fee structures as always when they can. You'll find out.
The other 192 UPU members will continue to follow the rules that limit costs/profits in a lot of situation.
Joseph Evans
Heh, is that why my order from the 8th still hasn't shipped?
Alexander Ramirez
I just sold a machine with that board and a xeon x5450 a couple of weeks ago for $80 canadian. Hope you paid less than that.
Charles Green
What deal are you referring to?
Luke Hughes
The relevant one that the UN voted on for the UPU which ended in the US subsidizing shipping from China, you dipshit.
Ian Rogers
>I'm sure they contributed some to the organization, but IDK about "the bulk". The US being g classified as the "richest" nation does contribute the bulk of it. The "EU" nations don't consider themselves united when the situation benefits them.
Jeremiah Williams
How good (or bad) are these mini compressors? I just need something simple to paint some model kits I have here. aliexpress.com/item/32957677588.html
2 years ago I was given a non working p5q (pro or deluxe) with a Q9650. Got a used p5q (which ever the other one wasn't) and swapped them over and it's been good ever since.
Xavier Moore
I looked it up and to my not so profound shock and surprise, it's the same as pretty much always: An US american thinks they pay everything. But in reality, it's again a disproportionally low contribution instead.
In this case, the USA paid 50 out of 830.5 units towards running the UPU - exactly the same as France, Japan or the UK. Yes, even with just France and the UK, the EU already contributed twice as much. And then Germany also had 45, Spain/Italy 25 (and then many 15-5). As such the EU seems to have contributed 4x as much as the USA.
Ah, sorry can't help you with that, never owned a piano sized mkb. Though since it's your first, anything cheap should suffice, just the switches that would matter most. Cherry MX's are the most expensive, then you have the clones like Gateron and Kailh, stick with these 3 brands and you'll have a nice experience. Also, be sure to watch some videos of the switches you're looking for to know how they actually sound like.
I find blue switches to be ridiculously loud, but if you're into this stuff, then go for it.
Caleb Walker
Trump also left the UNHRC and UNESCO. Were they also unfair to him? He just wants to isolate the US further and further. Everything is a hoax by the Chinese to him. Climate change, the postal union... And nothing there has to do with Obama.
Parker Evans
Anyone have the white vga2hdmi adapter? I actually need a dvi to hdmi adapter but they cost 3x the amount. Will have to settle for dvi-i to hdmi then.
I want to know what kind of resolutions it can handle. The comments on the black one says it handles uhd resolutions.
Do you think the audio quality could be compromised by using that? I've got a headphone that is kind of like that, but when you use it on bluetooth mode the quality drops depending on what you're listening to I think it's bluetooth 4.2 though, if this one is a 5.0 then in theory the quality should be better or something
Pic related I found the idea to be interesting, might be a good wireless earphone for listening to podcasts while taking a shower or listening to music outdoors during raining days if it's really waterproof
Just read a few reviews on the KZ, didn't know about it yet Seems like a decent choice
It cost me $30, but even though it was old, it looks entirely unused. Yeah, there will always be cheaper options. Perhaps free if you visit a electronics recycling point or similar places, but that involves some luck and time. And this was only one easy, lazy click.
What's the best of the ramen noodle action cameras? I can get pic related for $4 on wish, but I don't know if it will work with my knockoff gopro accessories.
Any good precision screwdriver kit for computer repair?
Aiden Powell
Hong Kong is a part of China
Joseph Williams
>Do you think the audio quality could be compromised by using that? I'm quite positive it will. I'm also positive it will be noticeable even by non audiophiles. If you want quality, accept the wire.

How much has mail been disrupted in HK due to the recent protests and whatnot? Especially when it comes to them receiving mail rather than outgoing.
