You could also try buying one of those Bluetooth receivers that turn your regular headphones into wireless ones. I have the Mi Receiver and it gives 4.5 hours of playback at full volume. Twenty bucks.

If I was going that route, what are some good earbuds to buy? My Shure E2Cs died recently after about ten years and everything I look at I see people complaining about them not lasting so I'm reluctant to spend another $200 or something unless I know they'd last me several years. I dunno whether that's to do with counterfeiting on Amazon but I presume so.

I had a similar experience: my EC2s lasted for years, then when they died I bought another pair that lasted a little over a year. Since then I've worked my way down in cost until I'm just buying budget earbuds. They all seem to last the same length of time.

Because when I go for a jog, the cable keeps getting in the way of my arms and the up and down motion keeps yanking them out of my ears.

Not much fun
Shopping for some fluffy rugs and I’m loving how every single listing has at least one bad review along the lines of ‘smaller than expected’, with a picture of a dollhouse sized rug. I actually feel a little bit sorry for the sellers who have to deal with people who can’t use a measuring tape.

Meizu EP-51 are great headphones. I've had mine for a year, and use them every day on the bus for podcasts. Good sound quality for music too, but not audiophile.

So I bought a phone case on amazon and I received a convincing but low quality counterfeit. The case was 'shipped from and sold by amazon' and had I not already purchased the same case previously, I would never have known better. Funnily enough, the same counterfeit is available on aliexpress for $3, or about 5% of the amazon price. gently caress amazon, its either ali or brick and mortar for me from now on. It's all the same stuff these days, ali has better prices and better customer service.

So Best Buy was selling counterfeit cases too lol but they were mixed in with a few genuine ones.

Hooray! I recieved my 78 cent dinosaur cable holder.



He's very cute. Also cheaper than the others for some reason.I'm pretty sure this would work just fine for mini USB, as well.

I have 3 orders that, according to the tracking site, arrived in the US at the beginning of last month. Just sitting there. Somewhere. I harassed support about it, hoping they would be able to get in touch with somebody who could get in touch with the warehouse. The support person just asked that I be patient. I've ordered from that particular store several times in the past with no problem, so I'm guessing I will receive it someday.

I received the Wiha/Xiaomi 24bit Screwdriver kit after a month or so for ~18 bucks with free shipping.

Got mine from Banggood, slow shipping but everything as expected.

If you need one of those kits they live up to expectations, very cool.

These showed up in an Amazon ad on Facebook for me, and naturally Ali has them cheaper.

Four seasons salt and pepper etc shakers

They seem pretty clever and adorable for moms, sisters, gfs, random office gift things, etc.

I have also purchased some leather items off of Aliexpress, and all of them have been real and of good quality. The trick is to look for a reasonable price point; real leather can only be made so cheap. Then look for user reviews with appropriate photos. I got a wallet for around $30 I expect would be in the $90 range elsewhere, that's the sort of thing that's a stronger indicator than 60 cents or whatever

I used to have salt and pepper bear snowglobes. I periodically check Ali to see if they have them, but they don't, as far as I can tell.
