Fair
May 23, 2020

Fair pricing with a nice website. No complaints really! Some things of course that are far more cheaper can come with lower quality, but what do you expect?

Beware!
July 28, 2017

Your money is kept on hold even after cancelling a purchase; refund takes 1 month or more; questionable refund policies and not protected payment data guard.

Great Seller
September 20, 2018

Items were perfect and exactly as described. I would buy from this seller again. Everything was packed well and arrived in a couple of weeks. Thank you so much for a smooth transaction.

Anyone who deals with this site is looking to lose their money. Beware of blacksmith golf and don't deal with bob the manager. Alibaba should be struck off

Bunch of scammers at aliexpress they will never refund you even if the item didn't arrive.
Their Buyer protection is an actual seller protection in disguise.

Bad products
August 3, 2016

I have purchased products from Ali Express and all are not what they advertise. You cannot send them back to China because it would cost more than the item purchased for.

Not Worth
March 30, 2023

Terrible customer service/Return Policy/.
Once you buy your product, then it's nothing more that you can do, and the quality is also not so good as well...

Avoid:
September 26, 2013

Avoid:

I ordered ten "dancing flower" toys. After more than a month they finally arrived, all but two broken because of inept packaging. The fragile plastic toys had been crammed into a cardboard box with no side padding, for a trip through the mail. I reported the problem and sent the requested pictures, only to be told, "The damage isn't serious, you can fix them."

But one cannot fix broken off plastic pins and shattered guides. Each letter to them garnered only broken English excuses that made little sense. They tried to blame it on me for not using a better delivery service, as though they bear no responsibility for the post office handling things like the post office does. In the end they told me that something might be done at some unknown time in the future. And of course they've done nothing. So I'm out the money I paid and a nice little girl didn't get party favors to give out on her birthday. I've dealt with companies all over the world. If this is an example of the reliability of Chinese companies, it's one I'll take to heart.

I've bought a lot of electronics stuff from them over the years, primarily because it's cheap enough not to worry too much about the low quality.
Delivery has been mostly perfect, only one item never turned up, but a few have taken ~ 3 months to arrive. Don't order during their holiday period.
Any required refunds have been quick, just don't fall for an occasional sellers "pls cancel the dispute and I'll refund you" or whatever.
Packaging is often very minimal, don't expect a box, if it will fit in a plastic bag then that's what you will get.
A lot of integrated circuits are fake and there is no way to encourage them to be more trustworthy, which is a shame as we are desperate for a quality electronics supplier as an alternative to Europe. The first Aliexpress seller that has an actual QA system is going to get very rich.
Their search engine sucks, it randomly varies what it gives you and sometimes nothing at all. You can not use the common "-" symbol to refine the results.
Their marketing is truly awful, every week they send me offers for black wigs. I have no idea why they think I want a black wig as I only buy electronic stuff from them...

Great Experience at Aliexpress
March 11, 2019

Like other times before, purchasing in Aliexpress has been awesome because of low prices, good delivery times and you have available the biggest catalogue an online shop can offer.

Sellers are conducting business by blackmailing customers, selling stuff they dont have to hold the money hostage. And the customer service doesnt do a damn thing. Stay away!

Pleasure to do business with you

Fast delivery, good quality earphones and speaker. Recommends this seller.
I was skeptical because of the price, but it turns out that you do not have to pay much to get a good product.

Scammers

Buyer protection does not work!
Force to buy a defective, spoiled, counterfeit goods or pay for return shipping, which is not cheap.
In any case, you lose money.
Защита покупателя не работает!
