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.

Awful attitude and not responsive aliexpress store. Did not follow your instruction to ship. When letting them the problem they will debate with non sense. It was long awful english paragraph however it does not make one sense at all. So im not blaming they made a mistake but don't blame the customer cause you made your own mistake, own up to it. Aliexpress should take down this store. Oh yea the reason they told me they can't ship to my hong kong company cause they cannot write chinese but apparently their shipment label does has FULL CHINESE on them so that a lie and it sounds stupid ignorant.

Incompetent frauds
March 22, 2019

Unliaterally CLOSED an order without offering any reasons. Fine. But
Then charged my Paypal for said order. When confronted, refused to
Admit customer was charged on a closed order. When presented with
Paypal Official Statement proving that I was charged, AliExpress still
Refused to reverse charges and request "Bank Statement and Bank
Signature" to prove I was charged. The chat rep actually wrote
"signature has to be of the Bank's Officials". AliExpress will instead
Get a charge back penalty from my credit card and a permanently closed
Account as I will never do business with such fraud and incompetent
Company

Credit Card Purchase
March 22, 2019

I tried to make a purchase on the Aliexpress website. It would not accept my Visa Card so I cancelled the order. I tried to contact customer support which is supposed to be 24/7, after 1/2 hour of trying, I was not able to speak with a customer support person so I gave up.
When I went to appeal the transaction, it took me to a page asking for a picture of my credit card and a bank statement before I could purchase something from the site.

This online shop is quite nice, too many fakes, but there's a lot of useful stuff for cheap. I've bought confetti and it was much cheaper than in my town

Awful service
March 22, 2019

I ordered from aliexpress an inverter, I waited enough long nearly two months. As a result I have a fake inverter for my notebook. Dispute with the seller didn't give positive result, aliexpress support is also didn't give a good solution. They didn't refund me anything. It is mean aliexpress appreciate seller with fake products. In seller advertisement there is original inverter photo, but I received soldered and wired with something a fake inverter.

Best Product in this year
March 22, 2019

Quality fabric and stitching, I never expect this situation. I disputed and received my money back many times before, because Aliexpress (Unfortunately) has some liar and cheater sellers. Aliexpress must get rid of these scammers and not make them sales again. This seller is a good one, maybe the best. Thanks

Great Shopping
March 21, 2019

AliExpress has anything you could possibly want at prices you can't beat with free delivery. You just need to plan ahead with shipping from China taking about 4 or 5 weeks. It's well worth it.

No refund
March 20, 2019

No refund should be there written policy but it isn't. After a month of disputes, me giving them pictures, videos, that they requested, they still will not give a refund. So make sure you want it because they are not going to take it back!
