I’m sure most of you guys shop at Amazon at least a few times per year. Their vast selection and insane shipping speeds make them a no-brainer when it comes to online shopping.

This is especially true with cheap electronics and everyday goods like USB C dongles. Personally, I’ve gone through multiple USB C dongles within just the past 2 years, and when you take a look at how much these dongles actually cost to make, it’s no wonder they’re so bad. The vast majority of the price that you’re paying for these goods goes to logistical expenses and marketing expenses.
