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 am very happy with a recent purchase. It arrived in 10 days and was exactly as ordered. Will use this compny again.
You have to understand that the quality of goods here might not be the best, but variety and prices and pretty cool. I used to order here a lot of stuff, but now I'm to lazy to wait weeks and weeks to get my packet.
Order guitar...4 months ago...us customs took over...store I got from is gone.cant contact them...my order was placed on May 6th...Scam...and I'm not certify that this review is...I'm not accepting this bull$#*!...all what I gonna accepting is just so this can be published...SCAMMMMMMM...
Purchased a tablet with a fraudulent OS. Ali offered absolutely no support. I ended up losing $130CDN. All support in canned statements from robots
Refurbished/used goods are sold as new sometimes. I have purchased a few times from the storefronts and generally products are of extremely poor quality and not worth even the low prices you pay. They will not post any negative store/product feedback online if you submit one, only the glowing ones! Misleading product descriptions and it's impossible to return items if you are not happy, they make you jump through a million hoops (photos and other uploads) and even then refuse returns! Avoid unless the deal is worth serious consideration.
Order was for three pieces 90X160cm, at $27.46 each. Including shipping charge total came to $91.39. I received three pieces size 90X90cm, that are actually priced at $17.14 each, and on top of that they were folded. To summarize- they sent the wrong product, and you can not use it anyway because it is impossible to straighten the results of folded shipping. Mistakes happen, you judge the business by the way they are corrected.
In my case when I advised the seller, my request for refund was denied, the appeal was closed as well. After I wasted time chatting with AliExpress representative I was promised another appeal. The result was rejection, under phony reasoning that an alleged snapshot shows that the order was for size 90X90cm. It is a lie. If the order were for 90X90cm the total price of the order would have been $17.14 X 3=$51.42, plus shipping. The total should have been around $65.00 I paid $91.39, which clearly proves that the order was for size 90X160. Unless the seller invented its own math opposite to the one used by the world.
I never received my parcel. After having to pay double because they asked for more money for "customs", they simply did not deliver or give any information on the package. Couldn't get a refund either. Do NOT buy from them
Aliexpress again is stealing money and not only that encouraging its sellers to defraud customers with false statements then refusing to refund. They want me to ship an item with a lithium battery at a cost of $100 but only refund me a postal service. The seller continually delayed responding until time ran out. Asking Aliexpress to intervene was a waste of time as they continually advised to continue contacting the seller. So both worked hand in hand to defraud me.
Beware buyers do not trust Aliexpress.
Order # **************.
Shop Name: Zysecurity High-end Store
Item: 5''Display Baby Monitor
Do not buy from this seller, he lies and steals. All his reviews are false and fraudulent. He claims 260 meters of signal yet from my video after 2 meters there is no signal.
Date post review: 8/17/2023. After about a half year product got crush with no cause. You can see all on attached screenshots.
Bought 20AH battery to replace original 16AH gel acid battery for Yamaha Waverunner.
Connected a 12V 60W halogen bulb drawing ~5A current. It lasted 30 min.! Instead of 4 hours as it supposed to last- meaning it is 2.5AH battery!. Got angry, ripped it apart and found the battery box is 2/3 empty, consisting of 8- D size like cells. Complained, got $ 47 back- it is 1/3 of what I've paid with shipping
I ordered several items from a single seller, and the seller left out 2 of the 10 items I ordered. I contacted the seller, who said I had to request a refund from AliExpress. AliExpress refused to refund me because they said I received the package. They could not seem to understand that I received the package, but items were missing. They kept asking for evidence, and there is no evidence I can provide that I did not receive something. They strung me along for weeks and rejected my refund requests multiple times no matter what evidence I tried to provide. There's no way to talk to customer service except a chat that I suspect is a bot. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
It is very difficult to search for a product. The algorithm and the filter do not work.
Their "BUYER PROTECTION" is also not real. Refund is only if the seller cancels. Twice I received a broken product, I sent pictures and a video, they claimed that there was not enough evidence
Worst peace of $#*! ever I reapeat do not order it is a scammer they lie and say you order is here but I ain't even arrived

Second disput with clear indication of the trace lost return to sender situation was also closed for no reason.
Return policy us usless, lets say it does not exist.
Money lost no refund no help.
There are many bad sellers on the platform and AliExpress is not providing enough protection for buyers. I got burned on many transactions, some registered total loss on the amount paid on the good and also the return postage. Your loss may come from duty paid, seller refuse to accept returns and the return postage not getting reimbursed. AliExpress claims that it will reimburse on my return postage, but ended up just an empty promise. The amount reimburse is in a form of "One time use" coupon that will expire in a very short period of time, If you make purchase using the coupon, you would better pray for a good transaction, otherwise, the coupon will not be returned.
Be careful what payment method you select. They might bill you incorrectly. I spoke with their customer service agents but they could not understand what I was calling about even after repeating myself multiple times. They won't release the name of the country they're operating from and won't tell you where the company is located. I chose the Pay After Delivery method; however, the Ali Express already charged me on the same day the order was placed which is contrary to the payment method I selected. They weren't supposed to charge me until I received the order. I hope they will deliver the items.
NOTE: I did NOT get my order and I had to contact my bank & Google to report AliExpress as fraudulent. The sellers give false answers to questions and no clear response, as so many scammers do. Also AliExpress correspondence to fix any problems is very slow, thats why I had to send Google and the Banks all my evidence and messages. We use many online platforms to shop small & large orders, we were not surprised that this store was a scam by the feedback and ongoing correspondence. We also noticed the privacy act was not held as law, while during the trading with the seller & AliExpress we received scam (Emails & Text - SMS messages) that were tracked back to our order.
Ordered a table. They sent WRONG tracking number and wrong shipper to me. Said package was delivered. It was not delivered. Called to see what was going on. THEY ARE THE DUMBEST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET> SO STUPID! They asked if I wanted a refund, I said NO I WANT MY TABLE. They said confirm this! I said I confirm I do NOT want a refund, send my table! They said OKAY DISPUTE OVER WE SEND YOU YOUR MONEY! OMG! STUPIDITY! DON'T SHOP HERE. THEY HAVE A 2 STAR RATING! SHOP EBAY OR AMAZON! Ugh!
I ordered a guitar back on April 26th and it's now August 7. I have messaged the seller several times and no longer get a response. He has given me a new tracking number twice but the so called package never moves. It's pretty safe to say by now that I got ripped off.
It's the place where I always order my bicycle accessories. Sure I have to order them beforehand considering long delivery but the prices and the overall quality is worth it.
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: 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: 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: 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.
