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.

The Knives from steels whets fine but knives from ceramics in general does not whet, only breaks. So 4 stars.
Получил костюм для мальчика. Качество хорошее, все как заявлено в магазине. Размеры соответствуют. Очень рекомендую этот магазин!
I'm really often use this shop for my orders and i'm never disapointed.
The minifigures are Great blocks. Fast delivery. Will be back!
Some companies are not a problem. However if you do have an issue AliExpress's dispute process is designed to make your life as difficult as possible.As a consequence I will not be dealing with them again. I have written off the cost of the item I purchased & will spend my money elsewhere. Be aware.
On 12. 05. 18 I ordered a phone from a buyer at aliexpress and its came to my country at the 28. 05. 18 and since then there is no any information about the item. I contacted to the seller on the 18. 07. 08 and he told me to wait couple days and talk with aliexpress to open logistic dispute. At the same time i contacted the post and they said i have to pay tax and i paid, After that they said they cant track the item. The post told me to send a message to the seller with the note they wrote in English (I add that) saying the item cant be found. The seller told me to open again dispute but i couldn't because its said the time to open dispute is over. Since the item are in my country i didn't saw how the seller or aliexpress can help me but i contacted aliexpress twice asking what i can do because after all i didn't get my item. On the 27. 08. 18 and the 03. 09. 18 Aliexpress told they will contact me after they will check it and never send me anything back. They just asked about "Customer Service Satisfaction Survey" on email. I don't know what to do anymore. The item cost 303$ and its a lot money, Also paid tax... I'm tired from chasing
Aliexpress is an Ebay-like storefront that allows local & at home Chinese vendors to sell their product worldwide. Some vendors are better than others. Don't pay too close attention to the dummies who posted a negative review after trying to buy expensive things from an online source located in China! For the best AliExpress shopping experience, follow these rules:
1. Don't buy expensive items, that have great value. AliExpress is intended for buying fun, novelty items. Sometimes things get lost in the mail.:/
2. Avoid buying electronics, particularly cell phones. Their mobile system is much different than ours, and the cell phone likely won't be compatible.
3. Check for current vendor reviews. Seasoned vendors especially, will have many reviews around sizing, shipping, and communication. Be sure to filter out reviews from your Country.
Happy shopping!
Terrible service. Unreliable. Do not ever buy anything from them. I've sent them all the proof that I've paid but they still insist I need to pay again. They are useless. See pics that confirms payment and their comment that I need to pay again.
I'm a diamond level shopper in aliexpress. And it is Good to buy chinese miscellaneous stuff, but awfull to buy celular phones. Most of them come with fake roms with no OTA, even when the seller claims that it has. The disputes for this situations are not supported by aliexpress that compactuates with these scams.
They will not give you a refund. I waited mine for almost 4 months and the guy on the chat room Muyang Tie seller is very annoying and useless. I wasted a lot of energy to get back my money and nothing happened. But at the end I was glad I reported it to my credit card company so they can Flag and blacklisted them. The more number of complaints filed, the faster this company will pay their dishonesty and shut down, to get what they deserve.
You get the wrong item sent
They expect you pay return post age to get a refund
Return post costs more than the item and they expect you pay that
Its a scam folks don't go there folks you will regret it I do
We have bought an ultrasound Jet cleaner. Other than their charges we paid 25$ extra custom duties. We plugged in the machine only to discover that the circuit breaker went down and the instrument went dead. The correspondence with AliExpress has been going on for almost a month with no promises to repay the cost of the machine. They are playing ontime to void the policy. Trashy business.
In this store you can find very good offers and discounts, your attention to the customer is excellent, very personalized and unique, it is a place where you can buy whatever you want, with the assurance that you will receive what you asked for without problems.
Your shipping methods are very good and reliable
I recommend it..
Expect to never get your items, a huge inconvenience in the refund process and ultimately no refund...
This company promised via email and chat to refund me $20 and they lied. I spent over six hours for one month and a half over numerous chats to get the $20 refund they owed me and they lied. They kept telling me they were going to refund me and they have not. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS LYING SCAMING COMPANY. I also reported them to the better business bureau. See photo proof of their agreement.
Terrible website for buyer protection; straight-up lied on the website. It's been over 2 months since I've ordered and the delivery still hasn't come. Dispute denied (says it's already in the country); wasted £150.
Aware! Fraud. They send items that do not work or maybe even used ones knowing that the return shipping is more expensive than the price you payed for the item. Do not trust them. After weeks of negotiation they even did not send promised 50% of refund. Communication with aliexpress did nothing.
Внимание! Полный обман: высылают мусор неработающий в на дежде на то, что стоимость возврата превышает стоимость самого товара( а возврат - за ваш счёт). Эта схема процветала на eBay несколько лет тому назад. Обидно, что aliexpress опустился до этого. О сроках доставки я скромно промолчу...
Worst online shop ever. Fake items. Cheap products. Bad communication. Be aware. These are scammers. You'll just loose uoyr time and money
I ordered a 10,2 inch multi media from Aliexpress website and paid in
Advance 268 Euros (306$). The actually did not have it in its inventory
Tried and almost forced me to buy a 9 inch one. When I at last made it
Clear that I do not want it, the seller instructed me, via email, to ask
For a full refund, the reason being (package not received). Since I was
Dealing with my mother's illness, I saw the message after about 5 days.
In the meantime the seller send another email saying that he has sent
The package. When I replied that he did not ask my approval for this
Action, he answered that he thought it was OK with me, since I did not
Reply to his email immediately! I told him that what he things is his
Problem and responsibility and that I do not want the product any more.
He replied that this is not possible and if I opened a dispute,
Aliexpress would support him. I contacted Aliexpress via live chat many
Times without any result. Now when ever I try to contact Aliexpress
Again, a message appears saying that all consultants are busy!
Actually I think they avoiding me! The most important fact is that I
Never received the product and have no clue where it is!
They took payment and flat out said they didn't have the item and were not shipping it. I tried to file a dispute on a vendor for a refund. Customer service sends some fake copy of a letter in Chinese. I paid with MasterCard but they keep trying to say they'll only credit my PayPal. But surprise it's not going through. They have no intention on refunding it. Then I tried to file a dispute about not getting a credit with customer service and it's been more than 10days so you can't. Everything is coming from China it takes 30+ days to receive anything from China. You can only file a dispute for 10 days. Don't order unless you love to throw your money away and pull your hair out!
horrible service and horrible pay method. I have spent HOURSSSS trying to buy jewelry every payment method is DECLINED saying it is fraud no matter what. they say you can use pay pal you cant!! the only way is through ali pay and that requires you to put your social security number and picture of it. this is the worst website ever
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.
