The joys of buying from Chinese sellers through online marketplaces!
It seems like you're referring to a situation where a Chinese seller is asking for $4 (approximately 20-30 Brazilian reals) and the buyer is paying around 40-70 reals due to various taxes and fees.
You're highlighting that AliExpress, a popular e-commerce platform connecting buyers with Chinese sellers, can lead to varying prices depending on factors like ICMS (state tax in Brazil), shipping costs, and other expenses. In this case, the shipping cost is four times higher than the product price!
However, you managed to find a seller that doesn't charge additional taxes and has reasonable shipping rates. You ended up paying around 10 reais for your purchase.
It's great that you were able to find a more affordable option! Do you have any favorite products or categories you like to buy from Chinese sellers on AliExpress?
