Looks like I’m spoiled for choice. Temu has exactly the same for 11.29. Not that I’d be purchasing from either place; it’s just another example of Amazon’s enshittification.

There are different options with different delivery times. You can just search for “Choice” option (IIRC) and get products that will get delivered to you in 2 weeks. Also, AliExpress has a lot of stores that ship from Europe. So, for example my lab power supply and router for woodworking got delivered to me in 5 days from Poland.
You learned your lesson. Don’t buy stuff directly from the brands. Buy them on markets that have good reputation in following their policies.
In the nutshell, I never had problems with AliExpress and will recommend it to everyone for everything - from electronic components to… anything else.
I mean, AliExpress is great, but for many things I’m really just not interested in waiting 2 weeks for my item.
You said don’t buy directly from brands, but that’s the main thing others in this post are recommending lol.
Thing is if I bought that item from Amazon instead of Samsung, they would have immediately rectified the mistake instead of making me fight for it. And the item would have come sooner. So it’s still a win for Amazon.
I still do get why people don’t want to use Amazon for moral reasons, but again, they simply provide a massively superior experience than literally any other retailer I’ve used.
