That's the one I have in my cart. Comes out to be $405 including tax after coupon and coins for rim brake version which is what I'm interested in. Would be fun to upgrade old Kleins and Cannondales to 12s electronic shifting on budget without drilling holes for Di2 cables.

Okay, I'll bite ...
For Ltwoo you definitely wanna go with the "80 designer store" as they tend to uphold warranty claims the best (at least that's what I read on the forum; did not have to deal with them myself (yet)): For delivery to Germany (prices vary by country), I can get them for 328 USD (+local tax ~380€ final price) using the 3 USD store discount and the 60 USD AE 11.11. sales code. Make sure to chose the option "noBattery noBox" and buy 2x 14500 batteries locally for cheap. The options with battery will be much more expensive (probably) due to higher shipping costs for the seller.
For Wheeltop you might actually want to go through their own store. They announced a couple of months back, that going forward, they will only deal with warranty claims for purchases that were made with them directly. I am not sure if that means groupsets bought from other stores will not have any warranty at all or "just" means you have to claim it with the particular store where you bought it from. Might wanna search this forum for more info as I did not follow their groupset closely.
They currently have a Black Friday sale as well: https://wheeltop.com/pages/black-friday - comes at 599€ for me.
Otherwise, if you wanna go through AE, the only reputable store that sells it for me (other countries could be different) is ROCKBROS. The other vendors with various "TWITTER" names all have terrible reviews. They are not even much cheaper; I wouldn't risk it. ROCKBROS comes out at ~469 USD with the 80 USD AE code + local tax: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008004256956.html

Yes, the $380 price I mentioned is from 80's store. Comes out to $340 after everything. Have heard good things about their customer service (which is quite needed I presume). As for Rockbros store, they don't have rim brake EDS. On Wheeltop USA website, rim brake group is $600 + tax after discount which is too much of a premium.
The Twitter store has 100% positive feedback though : https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807372373072.html
I wish LTWoo had rim brake electronic groupset.

For better or worse I bought this through the Weko Lin store on Ali, who has in bold letters they are an authorized dealer. With coupons and cashback (topcashback had a killer 20% back deal going) I think my total will be about $390 shipped on the rim brake version. $200 off was too much to ignore there. Hopefully won't need the warranty service.

FWIW my Easedon wheels are the lightest and are the best looking. Also the loudest. At the time similar weight elitewheels model was much more expensive than Easedon so I went with them.

thanks for your feedback.
about Easedon, is the overall quality ok? the orice is very attractive. And for shipping cost, custom fee? their seller shipping method is only around 12$ and they told me is tax free, very cheap compared to other brands
