How about one of these?
It's $1.62 initially (free shipping), but when I go to pay, it goes up to $6.61. Maybe Dollarama has USB headset... :-)
You need to know AliExpress lore / fine print.
This item is "Choice". That means free shipping if the total of Choice items in your order is $10 or more.
Just buy more stuff. There's always something cheap to pad your order with. It might take you hours to pick. Beware: most things are not "Choice".
I tried that, when I was shopping for Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. AliExpress had it for around $25. When I went to pay, they say "They detected suspicious network activity", and asked me to slide a slider. So, I did, and the price jumped to around $47. I ended up buying from Amazon at a cheaper price. -- William
