Cheap tat bought from the far east
Discussion
edited Having received my FlipperZero a while back, I ordered a lot of RFID key cards, Proxcards, animal RFID tags, iButtons, UHF tags, and NFC tags. Including shipping, it was probably about $25, which was about a fifth of what the same would have cost in the US.
Shipping time was decent too - 2-4 weeks for the last thing to turn up.
I don't get too many opportunities to play with a lot of it though, so I'll likely install one of the non-official firmware versions that unlocks the Tesla annoying functions.
Note - don't buy a Flipper Zero off ALi/Wish et al. It's not the same thing.

I also, not having bought anything from Ali since covid started, for reasons associated with my feeling that they should go forth and multiply, bought a couple of linen shirts.
So that others are aware, Chinese sizes are different. I can wear US medium, but prefer large. Chinese large is a US small. Chinese extra large is a US medium.
Prices were better than the US but not great, neither were the shirts. I might try a different store next time, but I've no real incentive.
Since I last used ALi, prices have increased noticeably, and shipping has got quicker, but so has its cost.

2 rechargable torches and a Bluetooth speaker beanie ordered from Wish, £11 delivered. Estimate on delivery 23rd August 2022… I think they got the year wrong on the ETA
One torch and the beanie turned up yesterday so sooner that expected. Pleasantly surprised with themEdited by twing on Sunday 7th August 09:58
I was bored looking after my little boy in hospital and read the whole of this thread, £25 budget and a look on AliExpress ended up with a torch, infra red thermometer thing, some race track metal signs and a few other unmentionables 
Surprisingly all turned up within 3 weeks!!
Now my new hobby, budget of £15 a month to buy tat from china

The small one was bought by mistake as I assumed it was as big as the one to the right I already had

I do this - £20 a month on tat means I get "presents" arriving randomly via the post - I have a drawer full of unused tat at work Surprisingly all turned up within 3 weeks!!
