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.

Stay Away
February 23, 2019

The site has many different companies that sell on the site. Many are out to scam you and take your money while others sell illegally copied items from legitimate companies.

The site itself is very difficult to manoeuvre, and it's hard to answer any emails you receive from the companies you order from. You have a set amount of time to ask for a refund or make a complaint - but you'll often get just enough information to think you're getting an item until it's too late to ask for your money back.

I ordered 15 items before Christmas to see what the site was like and only two items were legit. Six items were copyright infringement items (I found out later), but were completely defective. The rest of the items I was supposedly tracking my orders but then companies cancelled the orders the day after it was to late to ask for my money back.

This is a terrible site out of China. The prices are very cheap and you might be lucky and get the product you ordered BUT make sure you stay on top of the order and lobby a complaint within their time frame if you don't receive an item because that's the only way to get your money back. I was burned on 13 items and wont order anything again.

Оказывается, это не так страшно, товар приходит! Просто продавец открывает новую страницу и ждет покупателей. Цегу ставит ниже для привлечения клиентов, поэтому покупать у него выгодно. Было бы хорошо, если бы все продавцы делали так.

Very nice case
February 22, 2019

The camera case is nicer than the photo, good quality, good materials and workmanship. It fit my video camera perfectly with a compartment that also fits my cell phone. Convenient to attach it to my belt with the loop or to use the shoulder strap. Very happy, thanks.

Experienta sau aventura?
February 22, 2019

I made the order of more products and in 98% I am satisfied. From my point of view, buying from AliExpress is not an experience but an adventure. Sometimes the cultural differences represented a sales-buyer communication deficit, but in the end everything ended well. I wish you all the best! Respect, Dr. Arsene Ion
