AliExpress

Overview

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.

Be careful. I lost $224. On a Christmas gift. AliExpress shipped to some other random address, and then would not refund my money.
Beware - seems like a scam.

Cheated by Aliexpress
March 14, 2022

Ordered an item, money charged but product NOT RECEIVED/DELIVERED. They claimed they had delivered with tracking result. Open disputes and appeals but all rejected - reason: I can't show them the proof of NO Delivery. WTF!

Never again
June 20, 2016

There dispute resolution is a joke they did not look into the facts at all just sided with the retailer. I will never again order from any of the Ali sites and am warning many others not to also.

5 out of 9 items where not recieved. No customer service. Just an automated response to my refund request "NO REFUND". No matter how many times you try to escalate. Total Rip-off.

For 5 years, this site deceived me. I was tired. I don't want someone else to peck on their methods of cheating. People don't mess with them. These are liars and fraudsters.

Fraudulent
November 5, 2018

This site has many sellers that DO NOT SHIP ANYTHING or Ship some garbage, sometimes quite different from what they advertise. The problem is that YOU HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE as AliExpress does not follow any US consumer protection law or any reasonable way to adjudicate disputes. They side with the seller most of the time without any justification an refuse refund, even if item never shipped or item not as described and after demanding countless photos, which are simply ignored. Stay away.

If a seller fails to deliver you the item or it is not delivered in time, you won't get a refund. All that buyer protection and smooth talk are only BS.

The dress I was sent looked nothing like the thing that crawled out of my mailbox; three months later, still no refund. If I wanted a runaround I'd go for a jog. Do NOT buy from this company.

WORST EXPERIENCE
April 18, 2015

I ordered some items (medium size) it was like for a 5 years old size, I am small and sometimes XS
When I contacted them, their answer is "Sorry my friend" they charged me on my credit card, I contacted several people but they kept asking same questions over and over until now... their shipping takes more than a month, very expensive to return
DON'T WAST YOUR TIME & MONEY NOT ONLY THAT., DON'T STRESS YOURSELF
