I buy a LOT of "knock off" crafting items such as acrylic stamps, metal dies, stationary, planner accessories. These are items that have huge mark ups anyways. I have have gotten some fantastic items that are absolutely just as nice as the brands (which I buy as well) for a fraction of the price. I've found it totally worth it for the occasional not rec'd and long shipping times.

Stay away from "Combined delivery", it's a scam. If they don't put all orders in the combined package, by mistake or by will. You can't prove it is not recived, and can forget refund.

Apple wanted $400 to replace my MacBook air screen on my just over a year old laptop. I took a chance and ordered a replacement lcd screen from aliexpress for $140. I followed a YouTube video and replaced it myself. So far it’s lasted longer than the original Apple lcd and looks the same. I ordered from a high rated shop with lots of sales and reviews.

I think people need to understand AliExpress is just like eBay, were they only handle the platform not what the sellers sell. They also do their best to have good sellers and buyers on their platform. Thanks for sharing the video.

My experience was repeatedly bad - goods not turning up after being fully paid for, goods turning up faulty or not the full order. Aliexpress not honoring their purchase guarantee and being forced into a process of Visa Merchant disputes where I finally got my money refunded. They the Traders and administration are no where near the integrity associated with E-bay or Amazon so Buyer you have been warned !

I buy Kitchen stuff a lot. An I always look for a high rating on the product. Purchased some Damacus Knives awhile back. Looked exactly like the Picture shown and the knives are extremely sharp. Plan to buy more from the seller I picked. Very High Quality Knives.

I've ordered little items for stocking stuffers for several years, and craft/ scrapbooking/ journaling items with no problems other than shopping taking forever. However, once I ordered a HUGE dinosaur truck (per the listing) for my grandson for it to be very tiny, 3 piece fake Lego..thingie. 😂 It was $32! I first disputed for not receiving.. I thought that little thing was a free gift! as it came with some other stuff. I then disputed because it was the wrong item; I flat out asked if they were going to fully refund me or did I need to save us both time and contact Visa, instead. IMMEDIATE full refund.

Aliexpress didn't refund me when the seller scammed me and I filed dispute within the return windows. Months of seller rejecting my proposals and me rejecting the seller's proposals got me nowhere.

i bought a controller it was suppose to arrive in 1 month. it showed that the product was on the way in some other country, so i thought i'll get it when i get it. After a month it changed to packet delivered. I went to their customer service and they told me to provide proof. I asked them how am i suppose to show proof of a product i didn't get? As i didnt even know what company was suppose to deliver the package. They then replied with "the product is delivered" and closed the issue. So don't rely on aliexpress to you have your back if you get scammed.

I probably bought over a thousand items from aliexpress, I would say most or about 95% of sellers are legit, but don't expect to do a return for anything!

The people that order from this company, don't push your luck, one day you will not receive your order or a refund.🎉

Buyer protection didn't help me, had to do chargeback for defective phone. It was Doogee, they wouldn't refund and Aliexpress didn't care as 15 days had just passed when fault started. Won't be using again, too much hassle.

I had no problem with AliExpress at all... And the orders came faster than estimated... And quality as expected 🙂

I want to buy some earphones with a gane design on it. I am scared because I ve heard that they can get your information and I don't know what to do.

I have literally ordered thousands of dollars worth of things from Alliexpress and have only been burned for about maybe... $20 out of all of that and it was for insignificant little 2 or $3 things. I don't know where all these negative reviews are coming from. Some people just have bad luck😂 I just recently ordered over $500 worth of things from AliExpress and everything has been arriving as usual.

Brought a solar panel from Ali Express. Seller sent me a tracking number. A month later on my buyer's account it said delivered but I never received it. Checked on the seller's account and many similar complaints. The seller's account also closed. No respond from Ali regarding my refund.
