It costs £0.75 to buy and get delivered in the U.S.A.
But it costs £1.62 + £3.84 to buy and get delivered in the U.K.

Since the Brexit transition period, foreign websites (including non-EU) had to start charging UK VAT. That has significantly increased the costs.

At least they don't claim it to be a solar tracker (in that photo at least)
Topcashback for 5% back?
& also keep an eye out for TCB promotions which can be £2 off a fiver or similar.

I have got two still working after two / three years.
Being a bit Pedantic I had to modify them to reduce the very little stand by current for the two U.S.B. ports that were not used.
How can they be made / delivered to the U.S.A. for £0.75 ?

The ali express algorithms are contemptibly full of 5h1t.
Just like other elements of goods priced low on one page, then when clicked transform into something way pricier (& ex vat)
