07:53 PM rue_mohr: yea aliexpress is $8 shipping on anyting, min
07:53 PM Tom_L: alot of that stuff i can't do under the windows version so i've pretty much abandoned it
07:53 PM Tom_L: why did that go up?
07:53 PM rue_mohr: dunno
07:53 PM rue_mohr: but it makes 90% of the stuff not worth buying
07:54 PM rue_mohr: and you can see their squirming
07:54 PM rue_mohr: it explains why 11.11 lasted like a week
07:54 PM Tom_L: heh
07:54 PM rue_mohr: their numbers must have been horrid
07:54 PM rue_mohr: $8 shipping per item will prettymuch kill aliexpress
