Hi, I'm planning to buy a dress from aliexpress and I'm not very sure if I should order them. I have been trying to find them on other stores but I can't trust anything. These are the dresses http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Luxury-Bling-Sparkle-Arabic-Middle-East-Dubai-Evening-Dresses-A-Line-Pink-High-Collar-Long/32236309555.html

Could someone help me?

Always look at their feedback ratings on their main page. I know there is somewhere where you can see how long they have been on the site. The ones you have to worry about is people who sale one or two items and not have been on the site for long. I got burned twice on here, but you do get your money back, but it can take almost two weeks to do so. Watch out for deals too good to be true. Real low prices on something you know can not be.

If it is a high-dollar item, in my opinion, I do not recommend buying from them. If there is a problem with the order they will give you the run-around. They will make you promises of a resolution but never follow through. So, in my opinion, I would not buy from them.

I bought a beautiful dress there last year (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wholesale-GK-Mermaid-Sexy-Deep-V-neck-Backless-Wedding-Formal-Dresses-2014-Crystal-Party-Gown-Prom/1634095831.html) and it looked just like the picture, and went over very well at my Xmas party. It really is a dress befitting of prom or something similar, but I paid only $35.

Just make sure to check measurements, and order a size up if you're unsure. Also, order about 6 weeks in advanced so you have time to receive the item and do any alterations (a local dry cleaner can do cheaply), for fit.

I've ordered about 60 times and only had a few problems, which Aliexpress helped me to dispute and refund. I have only had issues with sizes of items that I purposefully ordered "one size" and hoped it would fit (but was prepared to gift the item to someone smaller if not). I've gotten some really cute crop tops for about $3 or $5 (free ship!) and BEAUTIFUL beaded mermaid style skirts recently for $13 and $15.

I always look for free shipping. The person above who acted like the shipping was a surprise clearly did not pay attention during purchase. The full total to be billed is always displayed.

I strongly warn you, please do not order from that site. I really regret that I ordered from there. That website scammed me out of $243. That website went along with the seller that scammed me and I have proof.

Do not pay that price, there are others a lot less. You have fifty fifty chance of being able to wear and fifty fifty chance of having to trash or pay more to have altered. Sending back to China is going to cost way more and it will probably get lost. I would never buy something for that price on aliexpress. Too risky.

I would not buy from them unless your credit card will cover the loss if you get robbed. I was robbed by two sellers on aliexpress.

I would not buy this dress. Seller has 90% positive feedback and it is not a good feedback for aliexpress. Also i don't recommend buy clothes from aliexpress. 1. mostly low quality, 2. Price is not so cheap like techno-products. 3. you can not be sure if it is healthy

Sadaf: You can buy the product, It's your luck that you can received exact one or bad luck if you got your item from a fraud seller. Some sellers are very bad like frauds and some are good to send good items. It's depends. And Return the product is a kind of headache on AliExpress.

I have more than 70 orders made in Aliexpress. I ordered many things including electronics, smartphones, jewelry etc. and even if they somethimes are low quality compared to the price are excelent. Clothes i can't recommend. Between a few orders disputed (i received refunds) it was one of men boxer shorts. I ordered XXL and received something fitting a small boy. At my question the seller answered is chinese size but it was stupid enough to specify in his page XXL and the wasteline in CM. I sent to aliexpress some images of the shorts and asked if the chinese centimeter is different. Received full refund (this is the reason i recommend Aliexpres but not all it sellers). No, don't buy clothes looking at photos. Other products have technical description but clothes and shoes even if the image is nice can be wrong.

No, I do not suggest you buy either of these dresses. Both sellers have less than 50 reviews and you should NEVER spend $50 or more when buying items from these types of sites. (Most items that are expensive are usually the ones who can't function properly or you'll most likely get scammed). I only suggest you to buy products that are less than $50. In addition, neither of the dresses have more than 100 feedbacks. Also, if you do buy it, it may NOT reach your expectations. Don't risk it, don't buy it.

Personally, I wouldn't buy either listing. There's no pictures of the actual item, on a mannequin, or laid out. There's only pictures of models wearing the dress, or celebrities. In low quality pictures. How can you really know what the dress looks like?

DON'T DO IT! I purchased a $30 item and was charged $130 for shipping! AND YOU CANNOT CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE. They have a place where you can email, but you cannot call. I left numerous emails and complaints but NEVER received a reply. BUYER BEWARE!
