Early Black Friday Deals
Electric Bikes Starting at $290
Not long you you wouldn't be able to find an electric bike for under $1,000. Although there are still plenty of "premium" brands that still sell ebikes for well above this threshold, it's no longer an accurate blanket statement. As we enter the Black Friday and holiday season, you can pick up an entry level ebike for as low as $300. The three deals below stand out for the following reasons: (1) they're a lot less expensive than buying the exact same bike off Amazon, (2) they're all shipped from a local US warehouse so you don't need to worry about tariffs or shipping delays, and (3) they're sold by reputable vendors with plenty of reviews and sales to back them up.
LADPED Electric Scooter for Under $130
Scooters have some major advantages over bikes. They're lighter, more compact, and usually less expensive. Electric assisted scooters give you more range and speed for less effort, and the brushless motor is pretty quiet. You'd think upgrading to one would cost you a lot of money, but that doesn't have to be the case. You can pick up a LADPED LP80 electric scooter for just $127.14 after you apply a $26 off coupon code "AEUS26". It features a 350W brushless motor that can push the scooter at speeds of up to 19mph. The 36V 10.5aH battery that lasts up to 18 miles on a single charge.
3D Printers Starting at $157
More 3D Printer Deals
AliExpress is known for being one of the best online shops to pick up a 3D printer at the lowest possible price. I'm not talking about obscure, unvetted models. Some of the most popular 3D printer brands, including Creality (arguably the most well-known), Anycubic, and Flashforge, have official storefronts that carry some or all of their product lineup. With coupons applied, you can pick up a fully-assembled 3D printer for as low as $157.
Portable Gaming Handhelds
AliExpress is widely regarded as the best online store to pick up a portable gaming handheld at an outrageously low price. These portable gaming handhelds feature small 3.5" displays, 32-bit or 64-bit processors, and usually run off Android or Linux. Despite the low price, these gaming handhelds are well built and feel like a professionally engineered product.
Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World (Import)
If you still haven't yet picked up a Nintendo Switch 2 because it's too expensive, there is an opportunity to get one at a discounted price. AliExpress is offering a Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World console bundle for just $442.72 (normally $500) after you apply a $100 off coupon code "AEUS100" during checkout. It ships free locally from the United States (which means no tariffs and no obnoxiously long wait times).
Note that the console is a Hong Kong import. All international Switch consoles are region unlocked, meaning they can be used in the US without any problems and without any modification. You'll also be able to select English as your default language. This specific model will come with a Hong Kong style plug, but a US adapter is included. Imported consoles do not get a US-based Nintendo warranty. Fortunately, Aliexpress offers a generous 90-day free return window.
Donkey Kong Bananza for Switch 2 (Import)
It's unlikely that we will see any first party Nintendo Switch 2 games discounted at domestic retailers during Black Friday, but AliExpress is offering a great deal on an imported copy. Lucky Tech Store has it right now for $48.22 after $12 off coupon code "AEUS12". Delivery is free and the game is shipped from a local US warehouse. That means it arrives within a week and you don't have to worry about tariffs. All physical Switch 2 games are region unlocked, so you'll be able to play this game without any problems on a US-based Switch 2 console.
Arzopa Z1C 16" 1080p USB-C Portable Monitor
A portable USB monitor for your laptop or gaming handheld like the Switch 2 or Steam Deck can give you additional screen real estate without sacrificing mobility. Arzopa's official store currently has the Arzopa Z1C 16" 1080p USB Type-C portable monitor for just $56 after coupon code "AEUS12". You also get free shipping from a local US-based warehouse. The same monitor is currently selling for $129 on Amazon. The Arzopa Z1C weighs under 2 pounds and measures 0.37" thin. It has a mini HDMI port and dual USB Type-C ports (one with Power Delivery) for multiple connectivity options.
Allpowers 299Wh LiFePO4 Power Station
One of the most popular power stations on AliExpress is heavily discounted today. Right now you can pick up the Allpowers R600 299Wh LiFePO4 Power Station for just $130.72 after you apply off coupon code "AEUS26". The Allpowers R600 is a portable 299WH power station for off-grid use, whether it be as in-home battery backup or your sole source of power during your outdoor adventures. It has two AC outlets capable of 600W (1,200W surge) each, which is double the capacity of an equivalent Ecoflow River power station. It even features a pure sine wave inverter to protect sensitive electronics. The R600 also includes two USB Type-C ports with 100W output, two USB Type-A ports with 18W output, a cigarette lighter with 120W output, and an inductive wireless charger with 15W output.
Bluetti 448Wh LiFePO4 Power Station
Bluetti is well known amongst the off-grid community for its value-packed power stations and solar generators. It has an official storefront at AliExpress where it sells factory recertified power stations that include the same 5 year warranty as buying one new. The best deal right now is the compact yet high capacity Bluetti AC50B 448Wh LiFePO4 Power Station for just $210.21 after you apply $32 off coupon code "AEUS32". It ships free locally from the United States and arrives within 1 to 2 weeks. The AC50B has two 120V AC outlets capable of 700W (1,000W surge) each, two 65W USB Type-C ports, and one 18W USB Type-A port.
Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller (Import)
Nintendo recently raised the price of the new Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller from $85 to $90, but here's an opportunity to get one for less than either price. AliExpress is currently offering import model Switch 2 Pro controllers for $77 after you apply $12 off coupon code "AEUS12" during checkout. Your order ships free locally from the United States.
This is a brand new, genuine model, most likely from Hong Kong, China, or Japan. All Switch hardware (including the Pro 2 controller) is region unlocked, meaning you can use the controller with any US-based Nintendo Switch console without any additional steps. The only caveat is that imported peripherals don't come with a Nintendo warranty but AliExpress offers a 15-day free returns window in case you get a lemon.
Sofirn SP36 Pro 8,000-Lumen EDC LED Flashlight
Check any popular flashlight forums and you'll see that Sofirn is a very well known brand that carries a wide range of flashlights at extremely affordable prices. They're one of the best selling flashlight brands on Amazon, but you can get the exact same models for a much lower price at AliExpress. In fact, Sofirn even has its own official seller account there. The SP36 Pro is a popular 5" EDC model that currently sells for over $60 on Amazon. The emitter uses four SST40 LEDs that can deliver up to 8,000 lumens. It takes three 18650 batteries which are included.
Licensed JoyToy Warhammer 40K Figures
JoyToy is well known for its huge collection of pre-painted Warhammer 40K figures. In my opinion they are better detailed than the ones from McFarlane and Bandai, with the exception of limited edition figures that cost hundreds of dollars apiece. JoyToy figures are also (justifiably) more expensive and building out an extensive Warhammer collection of figures can easily add up in price. Lucky for us, JoyToy happens to host its own official storefront on AliExpress. It also licenses its toys out to several other resellers on AliExpress. These are all genuine models shipped in retail packaging and best of all, much cheaper than getting it anywhere else.
Who Is AliExpress?
AliExpress, an offshoot of Alibaba (one of the world's largest online retailers), is a one-stop shop for everything under the sun, from video games, consoles, and electronics to home decor, apparel, toys, and sporting goods. It operates as an online marketplace for Chinese-based sellers looking to sell their products to international customers. This is a great resource for US-based shoppers because prices on AliExpress are more often than not lower than the exact same product at a US retailer, including Amazon marketplace. These include officially licensed products from Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, and more. If you're willing to overlook some caveats (for example, imported models without a US warranty) and exercise basic internet common sense, then AliExpress offers a great opportunity to save tons of money.
