I haven't purchased anything from aliexpress from about a year, and boy howdy, have they made the interface much more deliberately confusing.

The listed prices are often sale prices that I'm not qualified for, and are drastically different than the actual price. Items get lumped into these bundle deals and dollar express categories instead of just going into my shopping cart.

What an annoying mess.

@MLE_online I always go with the "choice" items cause the prices seem clearer. every so often non-"choice" items+shipping are cheaper.
@RueNahcMohr how? none of the choice items have prices that match what they advertise in the search results?
@MLE_online
- first log in (then it doesn't try to give you the welcome-new-customer prices)
- after doing a search, click "choice" on the side filter, what you want *might* completely disappear tho.
@RueNahcMohr That doesn't change anything. I've already been logged in, and then I click choice and it limits it to those, and it shows me prices, then the prices are much higher when I add them to my cart
@MLE_online huh, I wonder if its a USA thing with china. I don't know if china likes the USA much right now.
