I wonder how item will be defined. If I order a pack of 100 tiny magnets from AliExpress, is that $30 or $3000?

To add some color: when I've placed orders like this in the past the small items didn't come packed like consumer goods in a nice box but in something like a zip lock bag or an envelope.

Also people buying stationary stuff from China, how will their pricing be?

  • I'm not sure how it'll work in the US but in the UK when I'm buying cheap Chinese stuff on eBay there are usually two options - have it posted from China which is cheapest but slow, or order it from a UK distributor who has bulk imported from China which costs a bit more but arrives in a couple of days. I guess everything will move to the latter system?
