I would not even give AliExpress 1 Star but have to in order to leave a review. A month back I ordered an expensive drone which had a built-in screen on the transmitter. When I received the order, BOTH the transmitter and drone were just empty shells e.g. nothing inside the transmitter, buttons all stuck down by glue! The drone was a similar case with an empty plastic shell where the battery should be! When I reached out to AE Customer Service, I opened a case and uploaded lots of pics and a video. A few days later, they replied that the case had been closed as I didn’t supply enough info! I therefore reopened the case and uploaded a longer and more detailed video, explaining all that was wrong with the item. Again, a few days later, they said again that I hadn’t supplied enough evidence and closed the case! I therefore reached out to PayPal, through whom I’d made my payment. They came back to me a few days later, saying they’d managed to get AE to give me a refund so long as I returned the item to Germany! So now they wanted me to pay international P&P, which was going to cost me about £15! I then reached out to AE to request a UK address and they refused to give me one! So I called PayPal again, and they just issued me a full refund! Moral of the story, AE are just a bunch of con artists. I’ve now deleted my account and will never use them again!!!!!

Product not received. Package was broken/tampered with so i suspect item was lost or stolen by iMile or one of its representatives. Aliexpress will not issue a refund. Have deleted the app and my account. Will be getting a refund through the credit card company.

I’m done. In the last few months, I’ve constantly received defective products that don't match the descriptions. I’m even getting short-changed on quantities (e.g., ordering 3 items and receiving 2). Worst of all, AliExpress Customer Service now rejects every dispute, refusing refunds or exchanges despite clear proof. I’ve lost all trust in this platform. Deleting the app and switching to Temu.

I had to pay 50 euros more for my first order because the seller filled out the customs paperwork incorrectly, resulting in a higher duty. The second order, a month later, wasn't even shipped. The seller isn't responding, wasting time, and now my money is frozen.

I greatly value the support provided throughout the engagement; the workflow was streamlined, well-coordinated, and executed with clear attention to minimizing operational friction and risk. Their intervention effectively reduced complexity, improved overall manageability, and resulted in a resolution achieved significantly ahead of the originally anticipated timeline.

They only got 1 star as there was no option to go lower. Delivery agents lied about delivery. Then admits its not been deliverd but still refuses a refund. Will never use again

I purchased a dancing Xmas tree as I already had the dancing Elk. The seller told me it stood just as high as the Elk, 30cm high and so did the advertisement. I took a snapshot of the conversation & the shop number for proof incase of need to return. My dancing Tree arrived and it was half the size of the Elk, clearly not what I was told. The seller denied having any records of our conversation and denied me a refund. AliExpress also denied me a refund based on the fact i didn’t have enough evidence, this is after I sent them a photo of the Elk and Xmas Tree standing together and a snapshot of our conversation and they denied me on those two things that clearly showed i was in the right. Dishonest company, seller and advertising. Disappointing to say the least. I deleted our account and rid if the App, never again. Temu are great, bought a bit from them with no Drama's.

My first order was a very negative experience. I needed to return because they didn’t send me an important product. I get a refund for 3 items but not the 4th, an expensive one. They denied the return shipping and every proof. This what happened: • Returned an item new and in original packaging, following AliExpress return instructions exactly. • Provided official postal receipt and valid tracking number showing the item was delivered. • Uploaded screenshots from the Post office app proving delivery. • Despite clear proof, the refund was refused without valid justification. • Asked for a packing video, which was never required or mentioned during the return process. • AliExpress assumed the item was different with no evidence. • Returned 4 items in the same shipment — all refunded except one, which makes no sense. • Case was allegedly escalated to a “senior team”, but no one ever contacted me. • Multiple case numbers created, zero resolution each time. • Impossible to speak to a real person or get a direct email. • Customer service gives automated, copy-paste replies. • Process feels intentionally obstructive to avoid issuing refunds. • Extremely frustrating, time-consuming, and unprofessional experience. • Not trustworthy when problems arise — buy at your own risk. This is against the law, I gave my case to a lawyer.

Write a complaint about AliExpress for the following: I ordered items on the 28th of September 2025, now it's 4 of Jan 2026 and I didn't receive anything yet. The tracking stopped being updated on the 8th of October 2025. The last update was that they tried to deliver multiple times and the delivery failed because "customer isn't replying". My address is correct, nobody came to deliver, I opened disputes with Alibaba customer service over 10 times, and all of my requests were declined, I was asked to provide a proof from the logistics company that I didn't receive the items?! The logistics company looks fraud, they have an unsafe website with a single page without address or email and the found phone number isn't working. The case is still pending!!! The screenshot for the suspended tracking is attached.

Just wanted to give a big shoutout to Paradigm Recovery Firm for being absolute lifesavers. I was honestly stressed and unsure where to turn, but they stepped in with calm, clarity, and real care. No pressure, no judgment—just helpful people who know their stuff and actually listen. Everything was explained in a way that made sense, and they handled it all so smoothly. I felt supported the whole way through. Super grateful for the way they showed up when I needed it most. If you’re feeling lost in tax stuff, seriously—reach out to them. They make hard things feel a lot lighter

I appreciate they are not selling the products on their site but when those sellers just outright lie about what they are selling them it's AliExpress that should deal with it. They don't, they are hopeless.

I wanted an immediate refund as the memory stick is a lie. It downloads extremally slowly and the stick is empty after downloading!!!!!!!!!!! Wasting of time. The positive reviews on their website are fake. Will stop buying from them.

AliExpress Buyer Protection Is a Joke – Seller Lied, Agreement Ignored This is one of the worst online shopping experiences I’ve had. The seller DY Direct Sale Store deliberately advertised a webcam as iCSee compatible, which is completely false. The camera ONLY works with CareCam Pro and has no ONVIF, no RTSP, no iCSee support whatsoever. This is not a technical issue — it is straight-up false advertising. AliExpress reviewed the case and officially ruled that the SELLER must pay return shipping because the product was not as described. I followed every instruction, returned the item, provided the shipping receipt, tracking number, and proof of delivery. And then? The seller simply ignored the agreement, and AliExpress allowed it. So what does this say about AliExpress “buyer protection”? Apparently nothing. Even when AliExpress admits the seller is wrong, the buyer still loses time, money, and nerves. This is not protection — it’s theatre. This is the second falsely advertised item I’ve received this year, and AliExpress’s response shows they tolerate dishonest sellers as long as the buyer gives up. Avoid DY Direct Sale Store. Avoid “iCSee compatible” claims on AliExpress. And don’t trust AliExpress decisions — they clearly don’t enforce them.

I waited two weeks for my order to arrive for my son’s birthday, and I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the products. The mini drone battery didn’t charge at all, another drone’s wings fell off during the very first flight, and one of the ball drones stopped working after only three uses—one doesn’t charge properly, and the other arrived damaged. I also bought a 2400mAh Drone Battery/Charger for the DJI Mini 2/4K/SE/2SE, but it gets dangerously hot and stopped charging after only three uses. The solar panel products I ordered were also of very poor quality. I strongly warn others not to waste their money here. I submitted my feedback through their system, but after receiving a message that said “Your feedback has been submitted,” it seemed like the process wasn’t actually completed. I suspect they may be filtering or deleting negative reviews, which feels very dishonest. Please be careful when buying from this platform.
