We image-match every Amazon item to AliExpress and score how closely the two look alike. A strong visual match tagged “Same design” is the same design from another merchant; “Equivalent” means the same type of party decorations from a different brand that looks and works the same for much less. We pick by visual match and price, and each object shows which it is.

Per unit where packs differ (e.g. a 12-pack vs a 50-pack is compared each), “buy one” where a single AliExpress piece undercuts a whole Amazon pack, or straight list price — whichever applies is stated on the object. We only call it a win at 20%+ less.

When no AliExpress party decorations is 20%+ less, or nothing looks like a genuine match, importing just adds wait and risk for no gain — so the call is Amazon, and we say so on the object.

Amazon prices run $3.59 to $17.99 across the 87 products in this archetype.
