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.

It is reliable.
July 18, 2019

In over 4 years of orders from Aliexpress only twice there were slight problems which Aliexpress intervened and solved quickly. No problems for me and I will keep ordering.

Если бы почтовые и таможенные службы проявили такую же заинтересованность в клиенте, как Али, жизнь на этом шарике стала бы значительно проще.

I have been buying through AliExpress for more than two years. Theirditiion selection continues to expand and improve. I have purchased small items which were delivered in great condition. One large object, a guitar, was heavily damaged in transit, and I received a full refund.
I highly recommend using AliEpress.com.

En reiterada ocasion he deseado comprar, pero me indican que hay error. Que consulte al Banco que me da la tarjeta VISA, etc.
Sintetizando, no puedo compar, porque el sistema me rechaza, sin siquiera ingresar los datos de mi tarjeta.
Solicito se me indique que problema a causado esta situacion.

Ali express offer lot of shopping options with many sellers. Since its very open world you may encounter seller who are not as authentic as other but usually buyers review really help to understand the seller.
Ali express mostly help buyers in dispute, so its really buyers world (in my case all of my dispute end in my favour) but even if we get refund, we still suffer exchange loss twice on the purchase without getting the goods. Ali express need to come with better solution.
Select seller on the bases of reviews and numbers of sale orders even if is slightly high in price.

I placed 2 orders for USB/Ethernet converters ************** & **************), plugged them into my raspberry pi & they worked for a few minutes, then the network hung. Tried swapping raspberry pi's, no luck. Tried a different Amazon version, and no issues. I queried with the vendor who strung me along asking all sorts of questions, then once out of the dispute window they're being even more useless. What a waste of money.

Another order was for a bike repair kit ( **************) and it just didn't arrive, I was asked to wait, then when out of the dispute window it was clear they only intended to take my money and had no intention to send me the product.

I will however say 80% of my orders arrive without issue, but 20% is too high for issues like this to occur. I prefer to use Amazon, especially for anything electric, and valued over USD10.

When you decide you need an item and can't find it in your country or the price is hilariously high, be assured that you will find it or an alternative to it on aliexpress. Your purchase is guaranteed and also your quality. But always keep in mind that before buying you need to do your research on the item review, the seller on aliexpress, and the rules & regulation implemented in your country.
Other than that I guarantee you will have a great shopping experience.

Fraud scammers
July 14, 2019

Aliexpress partner with scammers, Aliexpress takes money from your account and dont pay sellers until you get it. But when it comes to you finding out the seller is a scammer, You cant cancel until the sellers agree!. Aliexpress wont give you your money back no matter how many times you have chatted to customer service, They wont help instead they feed you lies that they will take it up to management and you will receive an email from them soon. All lies.

I have been waiting for 15 days for this scammer seller to cancel my order. They keep reading my messages but no reply. Even though aliexpress has my money, They wont give me back until scammer sends me the fake phone... Awful Service.

AliExpress is a total rip-off and wake me unfair. During any disputes they automatically side with their Chinese suppliers ignoring the customers entirely. Save your money run away.

Магазин UMIDIGI Official Store это отстой. Продавец игнорирует сообщения. Пытаюсь связаться с продавцом уже месяц но четно. Заказал телефон - оказалось что эта покупка (пред заказ) хотя на странице продавца это не указывалось. Ну думал ладно цена очень привлекательна. Но прошло 7- 10- 15- 20- 28 дней а товар до сих пор не отправлен и неподтвержденный. Сообщения даже не открывались и не просматривались (отправил с десяток). Это первый магазин в моей практике который так относится к покупателям.
