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.
Love, Love, Love Caimao and Ali Express. The best! Great products, fast shipping, courteous service, super prices. Makes shopping a pleasure. Thank you.
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
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.

Never had to do this with any other online store.
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
Проблемы возникшие с продавцами, Али решает правильно и чётко. Молодцы! Приятно работать. Было не менее 20 спорных вопросов. 95% решено в пользу покупателя.
Puedes compran con total tranquilidad y garantia, rapidez en la entrega y gran calidad en los productos, excelente comunicacion con el vendedor
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.
Great product, easy to order, received earlier than expected. I would recommend them to a friend and will use this site again in the future.
Excellent site, very safe, great way to make money. I have been using Ali for 6 to 8 years now and l find it is the best site to find almost any item
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
Compras perfectas, seguridad en las transacciones y respeto por el cliente son los calificativos que definen para mí esta plataforma de compras. Muchas gracias.
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.
This product is top quality and suitable for EVERY size of dog.
Not only for running but even for everyday walk. Your dog is safe and you will have free hand and total comfort!
Good trading platform. Customer support and protection from unscrupulous sellers. I have already made a lot of orders here.
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!
Muy buen acabado, muy bonita y un precio inmejorable. Buena protección y estéticamente muy llamativa.
Se ajusta a lo descrito en la tienda. Para los que tenemos aves en jaulas es un buen protector de la misma y evita que los desperdicios caigan fuera. Gracias
Good item & Good Service. I received the order all well, and everything as published. Will buy again from this seller. Quick delivery as well.
Answer: No customer service. Some sellers are dishonest. No way to recoup your money for items never sent. Bogus tracking information since no custom number unavailable. Sellers asking for your your PayPal account to make a refund when they are suppose tp use Alipay. Clean up dishonest sellers like co-co fashion store. I have ordered tother items thru Aliexpress without a problem but you should get rid of the bad ones. I am reluctant to use Aliexpress again after this bad experience.
Answer: In my opinion. NO. I had to jump through hoops and make reports and threaten to make reports, it didn't help. I got my order, but couldve gotten the same thing from ebay faster and easier.
Answer: You are taking a very big chance by ordering anything from them... you will never get your money back and chances are you won't even receive the item you want. BUYER BEWARE
Answer: I purchased 3 pair of van's brand shoes via different companies on aliexppress and all were true to size. The off brands are not, so you need larger than you wear. But, ask and ali will usually provide a size comparison chart for you to use.
Answer: There is no customer service what so ever so be very careful when buying on AliExpress. Buyer protection is a load of BS and if problems arise with your order they will always side with the seller. I would suggest using a shop that someone that you know has already used to purchase hair.
Answer: Omigod, they're not just knockoffs, they're knockoffs that are produced in someone's ill-lit basement by captive chimpanzees that are blind, malnourished, and suffering closed head injuries. Seriously, you'd get better value from your money if you used it to wipe your bum. Don't buy from this group of criminals and ripoff artists!
Answer: I had this issue several times. The issue is that they only allow a certain number of characters ( Letters and numbers) in the description of the problem. So you will need shorten the number of words in the description and re-send until it goes through.
Answer: From my experience, there are as responsible sellers and is not responsible sellers. Second worse then have to raise a dispute. If this does not help, then raise a dispute above, and then as they say it all depends on You. As far as your arguments are strong. Almost always get a refund in the amount of shipping cost or part cost of the goods, if the goods were not received appropriate quality. Less full price. The full value is returned when the order didn't come at all. Also when you have paid but you did not send an order for a certain time. But again, it all depends on your arguments and facts provided by the seller or, to the Commission on the proceedings of the claims. But it is also necessary to take into account all the items from the seller, this is what guarantees he gives, product reviews buyers. And his overall rating. Never be lazy to write a review about the product from a particular seller, you will be the same customers as You. There is also an important factor, which I would say is pretty negative. It if the product was defective and not as described on the website. The seller has the punkt Returns accepted if product not as described, buyer pays return shipping; or keep the product & agree refund with seller.) 1. If the seller accepts returns, and the buyer also wants to return their purchase, simply follow the seller's sets of Returns on who will pay the return shipping fee. If the seller will pay the fee, communicate with them in advance about the payment method and the logistics service. 2. If a seller sets no return necessary or you want to keep the product, simply agree the refund amount directly and ignore the return shipping fee. It turns out that if you decide to return, it will often more expensive than the product itself and the meaning of no turning back, because when you return the money, only for the goods excluding the cost of shipping there and back. Therefore, I can not sell brand quality products, and will only return part of the money for the goods. That financial will have a negative impact but only You. Which means be careful, cock all the "pros" and "cons". You are not forced to buy it personally, Your decision. The more You provide facts that you have been deceived, the more chances and money You have spent, You will return. For all the time of purchase, the money is returned in full or in part. The Commission for the analysis of complex situations works, but is considering the case for a long time, so don't despair if You didn't reply, just "keep abreast" and you will not lose anything Sorry my bad English :)
Answer: Do not buy from aliexpress the quality is terrible and lots of sellers never send the items. Also they sell counterfeit designs too which is illegal to purchase.
