AliExpress Reviews Summary

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.

I've been doing business with AliExpress for the last six months. I believe I've uncovered both the good and the bad.

You can find a great deal as long as you can live with the slow delivery. That's the good news! The bad news should you ever have a problem with an order. You're screwed! Buyer Protection is a sham. There is no such thing. Should your product not arrive, should it be damaged, should the seller ship product even though you cancelled the order. You're screwed!

When a problem occurs, you typically can do two things: You first chat with customer service in an attempt to get their help to resolve the problem. Second, you file a dispute. Well, customer service will assure you up one side and down the other that they will solve your problem. They never do! They tell you they will but they don't. And filing a dispute always results in them siding with the seller. They don't have an Amazon or eBay customer service philosophy. The seller is always right! So Beware!"

Aliexpress is not the same as before. Faced a problem, the system cancels expensive orders, money is blocked, coupons can't be applied after a refund. The reasons for the cancellation can not be explained in the support service. This is simply disrespect to their customers. I have a brilliant level. They didn't leave me a way out; I'm leaving for Gearbest or Banggood.

Over the last year I have made several orders from this online store and I can say that I was very pleased. I cannot find the prices at which I find the goods here in another online store. The goods are delivered relatively quickly to the other end of the world. I recommend it!

Aliexpress is an easy to shop from online shopping site. I have found this online shop suitable for buying products like cellphones, cellphone accessories and other products like earstuds and stencils. The pricing and delivery systems are worth visiting this shop.

Do not deal with this company, a total farce, they advertise "buyer protection" they say you open a Dispute and they will help work out the problem and get your money back - NOT. I purchased 10 capillary knobs, I told the seller what I wanted and they said these were the correct items, so I purchased them for £67 and then had to pay £29 customs and then when I came to use them, they were the wrong knobs (These are for cookers). I opened a dispute, I was told I would have to pay to send them back and I could only claim the difference on the purchase price, so I said I wanted the full amount so Aliexpress decided to close my dispute. You can not talk/contact/email Aliexpress and the seller also doesn't reply. I have lost nearly £100 which is not my fault. To sum up, this is a ghost company, they do not do what they advertise, they take your money and run, it is not worth the risk.
