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.

I've bought some good things on Aliexpress but have also been ripped off. Most recently, I ordered perspex jewellery boxes - 60 of them. They had a metal hinge and in 59 of them, the hinge was rusty. Seller promised replacement, nothing happened, then offered refund, nothing happened. Tried to open a dispute - too late, you only have a very short window to do that. Spoke to customer service on three occasions and every time I was assured I was due for and would get, my refund. It never happened. I won't be risking my money on them again. Very unpleasant being reassured on three occasions, then realise I've been lied to again. No longer buy anything from China.

I ordered two items. One didn't even switch on and the other was a fake.
I followed their dispute resolutions which regularly 'lost' the information I had uploaded and then they stated insufficient evidence.
Avoid as you will not get your money back!

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.

IF you get your product, it is counterfeit, when you ask for refund, they want YOU to PROVE the items sent are fraudulent. Sellers either don't respond or give you some vague reply. I spent over $500 and got 15 fake items and no response from other sellers, no refunds, I am VERY angry! Don't bother with this sight. AliExpress is of no help to the buyer who is defrauded.

I ordered my daughter's quinceañera dress TWO months before her special day event. They kept sending messages the dress had been shipped and to this date (3 weeks AFTER the event), I have NEVER received it! At least we were able to file a dispute with our credit card company and got our money back. Don't trust these people! Don't waste your time and money!

Not sure if AliExpress help is just a good bot, the replies are very generic and leave you hanging with no conclusions or any real help.

Applied for my appeal, being told will be done in a day or two. More than a week but they are still saying will be done by tomorrow. God knows their tomorrow.
Strongly recommend not to go for them.

Site does not work for consumers. Sellers use "generic" photos that do not match the actual product. Actual product color, size, material is usually off. I think they consider this an acceptable business practice and not fraudulent, and maybe that is true for wholesale buyers/sellers. Consumers expect to get exactly what is advertised. Refund process does not work, site makes you give a long explanation and upload photographic evidence and then ignores you, no refund ever.

Guys DONT GIVE UP, there is a way how to GET REFUND from ALIEXPRESS: browse CITIZEN ADVISOR BUREAU online/form - "Contact the Consumer Helpline"-follow the instruction okay?! :) I did it.
Your Bank may open a DISPUTE on your behalf: it is called DEBITE CARD DISPUTE.
It take a bit of time but TRUST ME IT WORKS: my bank has applied a temporary credit on my account. Just follow the instructions!
In this way this RUBBISH company such as AliExppress will be chasen by dozen and dozen of banks, in the end it will stop to deceive the honest consumers.
PLEASE- SPREAD THE WORD! Ciao. ;) ~R

Fake items

The electronics sold are routinely fake, and the company will do nothing to help. Don't believe their buyer protection, they will not provide it.

The hair quality was excellent. The delivery was fast and prompt. The seller Mia even asked me if I liked the hair, was it received by me. They are very concerned and excellent customer service.

I have been ripped off by $26 US. Every time ali express team give me false satisfaction by saying that they will recover my money. After a long period of time I just waste my time and lost my money. First and last time I am using this App. Do not use this site because your money is not safe.
Highly recommend using Ebay. At least I feel my self safe and secure.
