I've shopped at Ali for almost a decade from multiple locations over two continents. It's my dollar store for cables
Has anyone tried this Canadian seller: https://www.primecables.ca/ They're part of a Montreal based e-commerce suite of companies that do toner, ink, cables, and a lot more. Think online Best Buy but 100% Canadian. Looks like good quality options - lifetime warranties on some cables, for example. Founded in 2007. I've been experimenting with ads enabled on YouTube, and honestly, there are some fantastic Canadian companies manufacturing items that I've learned about. Some are even local to me (https://store.fantomwallet.com/ - competitor of Ridge wallets) that I've never heard of before, despite being in business for years. The ad was 10+ minutes of discussing design decisions in each component of disassembled products - and I love hearing about these engineering thought processes. I've bookmarked a whole bunch of these companies. The advertising styles tends to be "informative" as opposed to "aspirational BS". Current affairs show us we need to support home-grown industries. Probably worth a separate post though; I got derailed a bit here.
