From my understanding, a lot of the products on amazon are resellers that buy stuff from alibaba and then resell it at a markup so it would not surprise me if that was the case.

They all looked the same when i was last on there searching for one.

    100%.

    I'm constantly seeing the same items with different branding all at a similar price point - it's all AliExpress garbage. And if the AliExpress version suits your needs you're better off ordering from AE directly as it's significantly cheaper. AE shipping speeds have improved over the years too, I've gotten items within 1 week several times now
