This radio is so cheap, it's less expensive than the shipping!

Going out on a limb here...PROBABLY!!!
Looks like it comes straight from the CCP. I'd assume there's no support if it shows up broken

I'm sure you'll get exactly what you pay for.
C'mon, guys. It comes with a lanyard. 
I scrolled down the page and found a 2TB micro SD card for $4.15. They say you can use it in your phone or camera. Yeah, like either one could handle the card, assuming it even worked.

By the time you figure in (forced)labor, lanyard, and profit, there is probably 25¢ worth of cheap plastic and components.
Looking at the specs, it doesn't cover the entire AM broadcast band here in the USA.
But, I'm all for Omega buying one and giving us his review.

Well… <this> radio is only 7 cents more, comes with a dipole antenna and shipping is only $2.95 from mainland China. Also, it is a Tecsun! Hard to pass up folks. 🤣
<edit> Full Disclosure: What you have to choose between is the analog dial/tuner on this Tecsun or the digital display/tuner on the non-Tecsun, a HanRongDa.

I had one of those Tecsun SW radios that I got for Christmas 8 years ago. It was a piece of junk, but it was my introduction into shortwave so it has a special place in my heart. Fast forward to now, I cruise the bands with a Kenwood TS-590SG, but I probably would have never got to this point if a family member didn't get me that cheap SW radio when I was younger. I still have it sitting on my desk, missing about 75% of the telescopic antenna which broke off within 3 days of light use
HA! Doesn't look like I'll have to! I dunno, this guy might be too charitable with his review.
Looks like that price quote was for the antenna only. The radio itself is $17.32.
Well then, that explains the $2.95 shipping charge from China. You win. 😊
Looks like the perfect radio to wander around with while looking for RFI.
Or, the perfect radio to wander around with and generate RFI.
