You answered your own question. Because everything is like $0.49. And I assume you can also get cheap shipping.
It’s cheaper to ship products into the USA from China than it is to send a package to a neighbor. This is because it is subsidized with US tax dollars because China is a “developing nation.”
But what’s the point of getting $0.49 worth of junk that doesn’t work? That’s the part I don’t get. It’s like we’re paying them to send us their garbage so they don’t have to deal with it lol
