The screen arrived without original packaging and screen protector was not new. This started alarm bells ringing straight away. The screen spec was different from ordered and was not working at all. Ali express complaint process was non-existent and no support whatsoever. Refused to take item back or any refund. Was promised multiple times they would email and all would be ok. All lies from each and every Ali express staff member. Stay away from these dirty lying scammers.

I've been dealing with them for about 2 years and I have never had a problem getting a refund on defective product. The ship times however are insanely bad. But I know that it is bad and I order accordingly. If I want it by Christmas, I order in June (Not even kidding)

Being new to AliExpress I purchased a number of items. First, I cancelled an item before it was processed and the item was sent anyway. Their products are inferior, material cheap and sized small. Their items were made for dolls and not normal people. I usually wear large, I purchased extra large and all the dresses were small. It is also virtually impossible to return their goods as sometimes the shipping price is much more expensive than the item. I now have 8 items that I cannot wear because they are too small and I can't give them away because no one wants them as the material is so cheap. Fit for washing dishes. Sorry, but this is real.

How do I cancel my Aliexpress account and have my bank details erased from their records? I was billed twice by Aliexpress for the same item ($31.69) and customer service said their records indicated I had only been billed once. Visa has managed to get my money back but I no longer have any trust in Aliexpress. I had previously had issues with a couple of purchases but this is the straw that broke the camel's back.

Extremely poor service
November 14, 2016

Ali express does not make things easy. What can kind of eCommerce service wont have an email channel for complaint for complaint? The only thing you get is robot who does not understand good English and who most definitely does not understand anything you say. Simply poor! I will never shop there again

A Good One-Stop Place To Shop Online
October 12, 2018

Since I've been a member of AliExpress, I've already bought many items both small and big, as well as both cheap and expensive. My experience is great. Plus the sellers/merchants are very accommodating and ship items very quickly.

There was one time when the merchant sent me the wrong item. Instead of posting a negative feedback, I just contacted her/him via PM as I thought it might a mistake, as it can happen sometimes.

Well, this one of the best thing in AliExpress, merchants/sellers respond very quickly. When it comes to refund, my experience is great. And, I haven't returned an item and I'm looking forward to more successful and satisfying transactions on AliExpress.

I ordered 2 pairs of distressed jeans, my credit card shows but i haven't received the jeans at all! Ali express can't be contacted by phone or email for some reason, I need my money back or the jeans I purchased in the right size! All customers should be warned of this site! Ali express needs to step up and do their do-diligence in customer service because it's horrible business practice to have paying customers for poor customer service.!

It's all scams be aware
November 7, 2017

You pay money for fake orders, i lost over 100$ and never received my items, contacted customer service more than 10 times. You talk to a bot BE AWARE they just ask your order numbers again and again. Then give you fake promises for the refund within 10 working days bla bla everytime. Order dates are on: NOV 2016. Now it's NOV 2017! And more than a year for this. Waste of money and time on stupid customer service.

Love this site
June 13, 2017

I always order from them here and there and every seller ive had has been very helpful. Shipping is ok once ur package enters the US tracking kind of stops tho but i have always gotten what ive ordered and if i wasnt happy with something i have always gotten a full refund

I have ordered and received phone cases, waist trainers, wigs, bags, leggings, shirts.
Phones cases are good, bags are good too but wigs and any clothing you order from anyone on there are gonna be very cheap looking and nothing like what they are showing almost any clothing item is see-through

Stay away from these guys
November 28, 2013

Stay away from these guys. I availed the offer of buy 3 get 1 free and I am serious each pair of shoes lasted only one week each (yet to use the 4th pair). I emailed the customer service and they wont give me the email address of the folks in their management team for a complaint. I will NEVER be buying again from them. I am sure if they don't control their quality soon they will be out of business.

Bought LED lights. Product does not work as described. Guarantee claims to cover that.
Asked to return for refund. Aliexpress refused. Claim not "meeting Parameters" does not qualify for return.

Junk shipped, guarantee ignored... scam way to do business.
You might as well throw your money away

Very happy!
December 19, 2014

Very happy! I have a rare form of dwarfism and because of this I am more than a little on the short side, but still fairly mobile. I work in retail and though this may sound a little vain it I had always wanted to be able to reach a bit higher without wanting to spend a lot of money. So I gave Increasing shoes a try and am very glad I did! The site is very easy to navigate and well organized. I highly recommend them!

I ordered a coat about two months ago and it still has not arrived. No tracking information at all and when I contacted the owner all she said was that it's on it's way and I should have more patience. I ordered a winter coat at new year - for winter! And at this rate I shall get a WINTER coat for the summer.
I just hope that my coat does come and the money hasn't been taken out of my account for no reason like daylight robbery.
Please anyone who wants to order anything online, stay away from this site!

Bought a product based on great feedback - it had 525 five start "reviews". It appears that all these reviews are fake. The product was extremely low quality. When I looked back at these reviews again - they were all very similar - normally just said "Excellent" or "Great" and they were all from Russian buyers. It really looks like they paid a Russian company to write these reviews.

Popular service
December 8, 2017

I have been buying at aliexpress for five years already. Basically, I'm satisfied. There were occasional unscrupulous sellers, or there were delivery problems, but any problems was always resolved.
Of course, it used to be better on ali - the coupons were better, the search worked well, most of the goods were free shipping. But even now, ali remains the main platform for online shopping for me.

Could be better
June 12, 2020

I've used Aliexpress about five times. Most of the items were the same as on the picture, yet, one of them (a charger) was of a different color. I also hate the fact that you never know when the parcel will arrive - in two weeks or in two months. I'm not sure it's their issue, but I prefer to know more-less when to expect the delivery.

A site made up almost exclusively of scammers. They closed their customer service. It is impossible to communicate with a human. They have all been replaced by the Eva robot which aims to not answer your questions, to discourage you so that you cannot get your money. If you want to waste your time and money, this is the perfect place!

Cheap and good with buyer's protection
April 28, 2019

This web site has revolutionized shopping; offering cheap and good stuff with a wide variety. You simply have to sit in front of a computer and do your shopping. If you realized that you need a particular item, simply go online and buy from Aliexpress. My main problem is not having someone at home or in the office to receive my goods. I bought hundreds of items. I am able to receive most of them. Most of them are in my mail box but sometimes when seller paid for more expensive shipping, the postman would require my signature. But I am not in the office to sign.

I asked for a refund for goods not received... I ordered 9 items from the seller... opened a dispute explaining twice that my refund came to almost £12... turns out you have to dispute every single item in the order... didn't realise this till it was deemed to late to carry on the dispute... stupid people can't even get this right.

Terrible Chinese site that profits from crime. Many of my t shirt designs have been stolen by sellers from China on Ali Express. There is no easy way to have the designs removed unless you want to submit passport scan ID, or divers license ID and other sensitive data to the CCP owned site. They make it easy for criminals to flourish while laughing at the victims in the west who have had IP stolen. I actually hate them for this. Its like they want to hurt the victim - and they do 100%. Never buy from AliExpress - in fact - just avoid anything CCP owned. Support companies with no ties to China.
