Gennadiy Tsygan knows how expensive it is to build a home in the United States. That’s why he imported almost everything for his dream house from China.

Most of his home fixtures were imported directly from over two dozen factories, and Tsygan — an engineer in Baltimore — flew halfway around the world in 2024 to choose some of those products.

    You can reverse image search an Amazon listing and specify AliExpress as the site. That’s really all I’ve got. You kinda have to go into it knowing it’s less convenient and shittier lol, but it’s the chance you take to save a few bucks.

      I have done text searches on search engines with site:aliexpress.com which return all dead listings, but I have not tried the image search method. Could work, thank you.
