I like their services and have brought a few things, but their prices are 3-5x the price (sometimes more) of no-name chinese ones. I don’t know where the parts of AZ-Delivery are produces, but its probably china too, but is this price right in your opinion. But even if they are more expensive than others on amazon for example, I don’t want to support the evil bald man

    Regarding prices, one thing to consider is that even if a company has their chips produced in China, they had the costs of design and development, while Chinese just steal/copy those designs and therefore can sell them cheaper. I heard a joke long time ago from some hobby electronics nerd that went like “if you want your circuit board design etched for cheap, just send it to a Chinese manufacturer asking for a quotation, and a few weeks/months later you can buy your own PCB mass produced on AliExpress”, and I think that’s pretty accurate.

      Yeah. Probably not, but having them processed and shipped by normal paid workers and not amazon people is still better for me.
