OK, give me an American retailer who can give me the micro-controllers and sensors I need, preferably at a reasonable price. For example: a $30 ARM board with dual ethernet and WiFi card slot.
You’ll quickly realise that there’s a lot of things missing when you completely discount China.
Components? What exactly would be a “product” for you then? For all intents and purposes, I get the exact same quality from AliExpress and Banggood that I get from Amazon, just the latter charges me twice/thrice. Even my experience with refunds has been better with the Chinese than Amazon who absolutely doesn’t want to part with the money they wrongly took from me.
I wouldn’t buy expensive electronics like Mobile phones and TVs from Chinese shops. Cups, a torch, key fob, package opener, tape etc are all “products” I bought from AliExpress which would have cost me at least twice as much from Amazon/Walmart. Why on earth should I shop at American companies again when they resell the same stuff to make extra profits off of my back??
So, no digital electronics at all. That’s a great life
And another person with a broken reading comprehension…

I’m talking products and you come with components. Thanks for proving my point though.
