After reviving last shipment with ESP-03 and ESP-12 modules from Aliexpress I realized that they differs a lot in the aspect of quality from the previous ones which I bought from an eBay.

Can you recommend any good an reliable sources of ESP modules to buy in a quantities 100 pcs. - 1 k. pcs?

Thanks!

taobao [...] substantially cheaper than ebay/aliexpress.

Are you sure about that?

The lowest price I was able to find on aliexpress was $2.5/module, and that included shipping.
On Taobao, the lowest price was $2/module, but the shipping bumped that up.

How much did you pay per module, including shipping fees?
