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.

Hopeless
July 13, 2019

Totally hopeless - the goods were counterfeit and royal mail demanded a customs payment, not mentioned at time of order - i refused the goods. No way on ali express dispute system to mention this - the system is clunky and works badly. I will get a chargeback from the card company but all a lot of hassle - don't use them!

Todo a muy buen precio, compré muchas cosas y no he tenido ningún problema con nada, solo con un producto que no llegaba y me abonaron el importe sin problema, son gente muy seria y competentes.

The communication with aliexpress is extremly poor and the staff are very uncorrect if you have disputes. They give right to supplier when there are evidence against them.

They won't provide COD. We need to make payment in advance. Then it will take 2 months to arrive. Sometimes it won't turn up, sometime it will. We will receive a replica of products and not as per the descriptions. If we are questioning them they will provide some excuses. In order to get live chat itself is a hassle. After into live chat, there is no common understanding between the customer service personnel. All they want to extend by telling some stories in a believable way. We will keep on waiting and contacting them again and again. After a while, they will terminate the account without intimating you. They always say that money is safe in their hand. Its true, money safe in their hand, you are losing your money. Tie up with sellers (not sure, existing one or fake one) and $#*! services and cheating you. Building up a big business by cheating others showing that it's cleaned and good.

If you want materialistic happiness, this is the best site. The product quality and shipping are excellent. The promotions are supreme. The refund policy is straightforward. You need a simple click.

I have ordered both from Amazon and Aliexpress from Bangladesh. The Amazon shipping charge is almost equal to the product price. Furthermore, Amazon did not give instructions to clear my product from customs. This adds multilayer of sufferings instead of happiness. The customs charge is also equal to the product price. So you have to pay three times for the same product. Original product price plus shipping charge plus custom clearance. As if I was buying sufferings.

On the other hand, Aliexpress provides the same benefits with no sufferings. They have trusted shipping with bare costs. They utilize excellent postal service. The customer does not need the complex clearance process of customs. I ordered it on my office desk, and the product came to my office desk. I don't have to worry about anything. Is not that refined version of luxury that a customer can get?

Свою цену оправдывает намного лучше, чем подставка Sony DK60. Здесь, есть подвижный USB Type-C (штекер отклоняется на небольшой угол) и мягкая спинка, ну и главное - подставка намного тяжелее и имеет клеящуюся поверхность по всей площади снизу. Проверено - даже без приклеивания нажатия на экран НЕ опрокидывают подставку.
+ в комплекте идёт кабель на 3А.
Однако разъём держится очень плотно - без приклеивания подставки одной рукой снять телефон невозможно - он поднимается вместе с ней.
Торец штекера не пластиковый, возможно он будет царапать телефон.

Besser als AMAZON
July 10, 2019

Kaufe regelmäßig und gerne bei Aliexpress ein. Die Ware braucht nach Deutschland im Schnitt 10 -14 Arbeitstage. Selbst bei Nichtlieferung oder Defekt bekam ich immer mein Geld zurück. Beim Mitbewerber mit dem Marketplace habe ich schon mehrfach Geld und Lebenszeit gelassen.

Choose China when given the option and pay little to NO Shipping Fees. NO SALES TAXES. AND THE PRICES ARE FANTASTIC. EVERYTHING COMES FROM CHINA ANYWAY, I just by-pass the AMERICAN middle-man and SAVE - ME some money.

Алиэкпресс не проверяет магазины. магазины с плохой репутацией не исключают.
служба поддержки пользователей бесполезная. ничего не решают. пользы никакой.
Алиэкпресс должен контролировать отправку товара клиенту. продавцы часто отправляют товар на другой адрес. После, приходится долгое время ждать возвращения денег.

I bought electricity saving boxes and turned out as fake. I find out about this fact when time to open dispute passed. I wrote to Aliexpress a few times about this but without any reply. Fake item on the top of the attached picture without condenser.
