The overall reputation of the company reflects significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to pervasive issues with order fulfillment, delayed deliveries, and inadequate customer service. Many customers report difficulties in receiving refunds and resolving disputes, often feeling ignored or misled by the company's support channels. Positive aspects, such as product variety and competitive pricing, are overshadowed by complaints regarding fraudulent sellers and the lack of buyer protection. This trend indicates a pressing need for the company to enhance its customer service protocols and ensure accountability among its sellers to rebuild trust with consumers.

10^10 orders on this website, still happy of my choice
Amazing experience so far, only that with cancelled items refund takes forever...
I buy regularly, delivery is usually long, there are cases that the goods do not arrive, after the dispute has opened and the protection period has ended, the money is returned.
Все отлично. 4 раз заказываю друзьям, и как всегда продавец не подвел. доставка супер. в Свердл. обл за 15 дней. Продавец отличный 5+
Hace tiempo que realizo pedidos con Aliexpress y en general en tenido una buena experiencia.
Easy shopping and easy solution to problems. A huge range of products for every taste and budget.
Most material is low quality, comes damaged or in bad state. As the sellers are chinese and their english is the worst kind of language skills you can come across, most of the times they can't even answer simple questions about the products, product images are sometimes unrelated to the products and so are their subselection labels for product variations such as size or colours.
I still use AliExpress but it's getting increasingly more frustrating to use as it ages. If Ali is listening, my main gripes are:
1. EVA - the annoying virtual assistant that cannot be switched... ever.
2. The lessened ability to add items to the wishlist (now only from search result pages)
3. The scam-like behaviour of multiple sellers who quote a range of prices like $1.03-19.55 -- when the lower price is for a battery or some minor thing -- this dirty practice successfully games the AliExpress search engine.
4. Give When I'm logged in, please give me an option to save my search preferences instead of having to apply three or four filters to EVERY search.
Thank you.
I ordered a "Large Capacity Water Bottle with Straw" item by mistake with the wrong address, I contacted the seller to help me correct it and he told me to cancel the order and reorder, which I did. Only to realize later that the purchase money was deducted twice, I tried to contact the seller again but he didn't help me. I then contacted AliExpress customer service to complain and was told to wait 10 days to open a dispute. Days have passed and in my account all the details of my purchase have disappeared, as if they had been deleted, I do not know if by the seller or by AliExpress, but now I have neither my order, nor my money nor way to claim my refund.
Just buy what you want from Ebay or Amazon it's a pure advice, because if you buy something you will suffer to return it that if you can. I had my horrible experience few times and was an expensive lesson so don't buy from them. Sellers may disappear after you buy and their items are pretty much Horrible quality.
There are Super helpful stores on Alliexpess, I've come across many good stores with great products, I recommend checking Aliexpress out...
Ali Express is the best website from China! Buy goods for many years and never had problems! If the product is quality then confirm the order! If the product is not high quality or did not come then open a dispute and I return the money! I recommend to everyone!
So goed en maklijke voor oude mensen om te winkelen allen kleeden moet goed maat pass aan europ maat
I like this is magazine, its my life. I constantly buy things in this store for myself and my loved ones. Cool, I'm super happy!
Beware of FlovemeOutlet Store. I believed their rating, number of orders and good reviews. As a result, I had to wait for more than 2 months, decided to open a dispute, but they convinced me to wait a little more and if I don't get anything, they will resend. Of course, I didn't receive the item and let them know about it. They said they resent the parcel, but didn't provide me with a tracking number and were very sneaky this time. I asked them to tell me where my parcel was, but they either ignored me or used template replies that just pissed me off. I asked for a refund and they started playing their stupid games. The dispute time was over and I decided to talk to aliexpress customer service. Provided screenshots of my conversations with these crooks and one dy later they full refunded.
Чаще, чем в предыдущий год товар не доходит Одна посылка была доставлена доставлена в течение 5 1/2 месяца с момента оформления заказа. В целом я рад возможности покупать товары, минуя перекупщиков.
Отличная торговая площадка. Большой выбор товара. Цены для различной категории людей. Возможность ускорения доставки.
Answer: No customer service. Some sellers are dishonest. No way to recoup your money for items never sent. Bogus tracking information since no custom number unavailable. Sellers asking for your your PayPal account to make a refund when they are suppose tp use Alipay. Clean up dishonest sellers like co-co fashion store. I have ordered tother items thru Aliexpress without a problem but you should get rid of the bad ones. I am reluctant to use Aliexpress again after this bad experience.
Answer: In my opinion. NO. I had to jump through hoops and make reports and threaten to make reports, it didn't help. I got my order, but couldve gotten the same thing from ebay faster and easier.
Answer: You are taking a very big chance by ordering anything from them... you will never get your money back and chances are you won't even receive the item you want. BUYER BEWARE
Answer: I purchased 3 pair of van's brand shoes via different companies on aliexppress and all were true to size. The off brands are not, so you need larger than you wear. But, ask and ali will usually provide a size comparison chart for you to use.
Answer: There is no customer service what so ever so be very careful when buying on AliExpress. Buyer protection is a load of BS and if problems arise with your order they will always side with the seller. I would suggest using a shop that someone that you know has already used to purchase hair.
Answer: Omigod, they're not just knockoffs, they're knockoffs that are produced in someone's ill-lit basement by captive chimpanzees that are blind, malnourished, and suffering closed head injuries. Seriously, you'd get better value from your money if you used it to wipe your bum. Don't buy from this group of criminals and ripoff artists!
Answer: I had this issue several times. The issue is that they only allow a certain number of characters ( Letters and numbers) in the description of the problem. So you will need shorten the number of words in the description and re-send until it goes through.
Answer: From my experience, there are as responsible sellers and is not responsible sellers. Second worse then have to raise a dispute. If this does not help, then raise a dispute above, and then as they say it all depends on You. As far as your arguments are strong. Almost always get a refund in the amount of shipping cost or part cost of the goods, if the goods were not received appropriate quality. Less full price. The full value is returned when the order didn't come at all. Also when you have paid but you did not send an order for a certain time. But again, it all depends on your arguments and facts provided by the seller or, to the Commission on the proceedings of the claims. But it is also necessary to take into account all the items from the seller, this is what guarantees he gives, product reviews buyers. And his overall rating. Never be lazy to write a review about the product from a particular seller, you will be the same customers as You. There is also an important factor, which I would say is pretty negative. It if the product was defective and not as described on the website. The seller has the punkt Returns accepted if product not as described, buyer pays return shipping; or keep the product & agree refund with seller.) 1. If the seller accepts returns, and the buyer also wants to return their purchase, simply follow the seller's sets of Returns on who will pay the return shipping fee. If the seller will pay the fee, communicate with them in advance about the payment method and the logistics service. 2. If a seller sets no return necessary or you want to keep the product, simply agree the refund amount directly and ignore the return shipping fee. It turns out that if you decide to return, it will often more expensive than the product itself and the meaning of no turning back, because when you return the money, only for the goods excluding the cost of shipping there and back. Therefore, I can not sell brand quality products, and will only return part of the money for the goods. That financial will have a negative impact but only You. Which means be careful, cock all the "pros" and "cons". You are not forced to buy it personally, Your decision. The more You provide facts that you have been deceived, the more chances and money You have spent, You will return. For all the time of purchase, the money is returned in full or in part. The Commission for the analysis of complex situations works, but is considering the case for a long time, so don't despair if You didn't reply, just "keep abreast" and you will not lose anything Sorry my bad English :)
Answer: Do not buy from aliexpress the quality is terrible and lots of sellers never send the items. Also they sell counterfeit designs too which is illegal to purchase.
