Where to buy Pro-Micro controllers / Aliexpress trouble
Posted: 08 Sep 2021, 08:58
I've tried to buy small batches (10-20) Pro Micro controllers from Aliexpress three times now. Every time the seller tried to extort more money out of me, refused to ship or claimed to ship but only provided an invalid tracking number. Each time they tried to guilt me into dropping the resulting dispute which would undoubtedly have ended in me losing my money. Prior to that I've never had problems with Aliexpress, but somehow they really, really don't want to sell and ship these controllers.
I'd not bother with Aliexpress anymore if there was some place where I could get these controllers in my country, but all prices are above 10€/pcs which kind of defeats the point of the Pro Micro.
Does anyone know a place where I can get a batch of Pro Micro ATmega32U4 16MHz/5V controllers shipped to Europe for a reasonable price? I'm still fine with Aliexpress shops if someone has made a good experience with a particular one.
