**Wrong $tore**.

I wonder if RAK Wireless has two stores on AliExpress now, because searching for RAK stuff (e.g. RAK831) - since a month at least - only comes up with a seller called _ **’Smile with Me’** _. I guess their _smiling_ is more a case of _[sarcasm] laughing at you [/sarcasm]_ because they **charge you 50+% higher prices**.  
Yes, 50+% higher prices! _(Mentioned before here: [The hard RAK831 cafe part 2](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/the-hard-rak831-cafe-part-2/10576/77))_  
The RAK Wireless store does not show up in searches anymore, strange and not as expected.

For a normally priced RAK831 check:

_(Also mentioned here: [The hard RAK831 cafe part 2](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/the-hard-rak831-cafe-part-2/10576/94))_

The URL for _ **’RAK Wireless Module Shop’** _ on AliExpress is:  
[https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2805180](https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2805180)

_Note: Unfortunately the ‘RAK Wireless Module Shop’ appears not to participate in any AliExpress discount promotions. But still way cheaper than a discounted price from ‘Smile with Me’ with ‘free’ shipping._
