They pull this carp on eBay as well. Draw you in with the low price. Seller's sneaky way to make more profit, since eBay charges the seller a percentage of the selling price and not the shipping fee. I'm betting Aliexpress has the same practice.

Reminds me of the time I stopped buying Gens_Ace batteries. I used to be a long time customer for many years prior. I was contacted by the USA distributor to provide measurements for the various classes of cars I was racing in exchange for a free demo battery. They had no idea what a "shorty" pack was at the time and I spent a great deal of my time helping them out with measurements, bullet size openings where 4mm used to be the standard and I explained that 5mm needed to be the new standard as well as higher C ratings, etc. Gens_Ace was in the process of adapting to race grade batteries which they now market as the RedLine series.
Then they drag their heels for 3 months before they finally send me a voucher to claim a demo battery except they wanted to charge me $50 for shipping which was basically the same price of the battery in the first place!
I explained to them how unethical their business practice was doing a "bait and switch" on me and gave them one final chance to make things right and they simply ghosted me. I guess my business wasn't important enough for them and I haven't had any problem getting the batteries I need elsewhere since
