    Those are stores. Who also order the components from China, then add surcharges for having them locally available.

    Most components on all listed sites will also be 2-3x more expensive than if ordered from manufacturer directly (unless mfg lists them on the site), at which point “buy European” simply becomes “pay 2-3x to a European company for doing what you could be doing on your own”.

      I mean most passive components will still run you about ten cents per. It’s not like that’s exorbitant. If you need to order a thousand of them you’ll get a bulk discount.

      My point was on the environmental aspect. These stores can import them in larger quantities, so it’s less fuel consumption in transport than ordering smaller quantities that ship direct from China
