A tip for AliExpress shoppers...

If you've shopped AliExpress, you'll know two things:

1.  There are a lot of merchants selling identical merchandise.

2.  Shipping can take forever, and sometimes it isn't free.

But not necessarily so, my little minions!  When you see that something you want is sold by multiple merchants, if there isn't another consideration such as a significant difference in price, look for merchants offering free shipping via E-packet.  In my experience, delivery by E-packet is very prompt and can take two weeks or even less.  I've received stuff within 8 days by E-packet.
