Wondering if any of you saw this video and have any comment about it.

Stuff is happening in china economically as well. For a few weeks there it was cheaper to order from amazon than from AliExpress. 

Right now it's not worth it at all.  IC modules you used to pick up half a dozen for a £10 on a boredom shopping binge are now £6 + £2 shipping.  Unfortunately the resellers on Amazon have figured this out too now and all those prices have skyrocketed.   I wanted a second PCM5102 DAC module for the breadboard.  The last one I bought 2 months ago on Ali was £2.20, FREE Shipping.  Now they are all £5-6 with shipping.  £8 on Amazon for a single.  There are module sellers on EBay who have just "quit" by adding a 0 to all their prices.  Suggesting they just don't want to sell in the market.... or they are facing shipping and stocking issues like everyone.

The British pound tanking doesn't help either, obviously.

I have an order from Ali which arrived in the UK on Thursday last week.  Royal Mail still haven't got it the last 400 miles.

Yes I can confirm that. Prices increased even in the Huaqiangbei Electronics Supermarkets.

Reasons I can think off, since I live here, would be the last 2 months long CoVID lockdowns all around the country, with further reduced output from factories.

I don't think that the US sanctions would be the cause since its affecting all levels, and sanctions were focused in higher quality processes.
