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.

In this world of next day/same day delivery it's always good to know that there is a much cheaper alternative so long as you are prepared to wait for it. As well as unusual and unique items there are a lot of things that are the same as branded items but half the price. The search filter has a useful "free shipping" option, and those items don't cost anymore than the paid for shipping, quite often they say it can take up to 3 months to deliver but the item arrives within 3 weeks. You can get anything from pasta machines to Kevlar fabric from there and trawling through the endless possibilities is fascinating. Unless my purchase is an urgent buy I always go to AliExpress.

Я уже много лет покупаю на Aliexpress, качество товаров меня вполне устраивает. В большинстве случаев продавцы доброжелательные, отвечают на все вопросы. Желаю данной компании процветания и расширения.

Ebay рулит по защите покупателя, алиэкспресс отстой, если товар есть на ебей лучше там купить, пусть даже немного дороже, зато знаешь что если пришлют брак или подделку, деньги вернут

I Love AliExpress!
August 13, 2019

I have used AliExpress as my "go to" for a couple of years. The prices are reasonable and I have found that the majority of items are of great quality. Some sellers ship faster than others but I haven't really had any complaints as I realize they are not next door! I will continue to do business with AliExpress as long as the prices stay reasonable and I can get my orders in a reasonable amount of time.

Items are available at realistic prices with usually moderate shipping charges.

Read all item descriptions carefully to make sure it is what you want... If not, ask the Seller.

The Buyer Protection service is worth it's weight in Gold and helps protect you against Traders who don't pay enough attention to the quality or quantity of the Orders... Your payments are handled vety quickly, but the same can't be said for the Refund Completion, this takes a while but it's much better than losing your Cash.

I believe that the Returns Policy should be changed to that of the Seller being responsible for all Shipment costs, after the initial purchase. This would ensure much better quality control from the Seller and lead to many more enjoyable transactions.

This is the worse service I have ever received.

Order never arrived and no refund was given. Aliexpress mentioned that it is my responsibility to clear an item. I called UK customs and quoted Aliexpress order number, but UK custom could not trace the item, the UK customs asked for appropriate shipping paper work and reference number.

I came back to Aliexpress dispute and the seller and asked for relevant export paper work with a reference number - Both the Seller and Aliexpress refused to send these details... All THEY KEPT SAYING WAS IT WAS MY DUTY TO CLEAR THE ITEM.

As we speak Aliexpress dispute closed my ticket paid the seller. Both Aliexpress and the Seller never sent export document as requested by UK customs. My item never arrived and I never got a refund.

Please stay away from this seller and Aliexpress

I find most of the stuff here cheaper than most online stores. You just have to search through some categories.

Payment is fast and easy.

Buyer protection is excellent. Broken goods arrived, I got my money back in 22 hours.

As you can see in the screenshot, I have an order history of 27 pages, ~10 items/page
During these years I have never felt bad after a purchase. The goods either arrived, or got the money back.
Totally recommend it.

Very bad service
August 10, 2019

Bought a camera part for £32 and got slapped with a £15 customs. The problem here is they know where they will ship it so why is it not mentioned? Also, there is pretty much no way to get to talk to anybody at the company so I will not shop there again.
