“I had shopping from AliExpress 5 months ago the items isn't same as explaining on site i returned items. Before returned i spoke with customer service they told me shipping fee is refundable but now more than 4 month i waiting for my money but they said we give coupons but i pay out of pocket i don't want coupon. There's like traps. I completely disappointed from AliExpress. I can't trust them anymore”

“I have a 2018 Chevy Equinox & needed to replace the passenger side door mirror cover. I ordered this part TWICE (different part #s), both times it took almost three weeks to even receive my order! Once I finally received my order(s), the parts came in WRONG & their part's description on their website says it will fit my car!! The part is about an inch larger than it's supposed to be & IS TOO LARGE to fit my car (I tried to attach PIC to this review & the system won't upload the .JPG which is not corrupted). THAT IS FALSE ADVERTISING ON THEIR WEBSITE!! I immediately returned both parts via USPS using Ali Express' issued USPS label. They refunded my first sale but denied my second refund stating it was not received in a timely manor. By the way, their website says "your first return shipping is free", but they expect to charge for any other returns even if it's their fault the product doesn't work????? (Unfortunately, I just returned my 2nd order thru the USPS package window without a receipt of dropping it off-won't do that again.) HOWEVER, I think Ali Express received the package & just closed out my return online by saying it wasn't returned on time. DON'T BUY FROM THESE CROOKS! THEY ARE SCAMMERS!!!”

“I wish I could give 0. They are scam. They give you a tracking number. Suddenly you will receive a confirmation that your package was delivered. When you check, its clearly not your house or neither your package. When you try to dispute, they say its a Fedex issue. And they keep your money. And you never received your package”

“I ordered a Bosch Router on May 3rd. Never heard from the company expected arrival date of ay 12. Contacted the seller on May 11 to try and get tracking info. Received a message on May 12th saying "Dear friend, the product you bought is only one left in our warehouse, but that product is not perfect. We have no way to send it to you. Can you cancel the order?" I will never do business with this company again. Typical Chinese company, can't trust them!!!”

“Worst experience ever. They provide tracking number which can’t be verified then automated email comes which states that item was delivered and order was fulfilled. Zero communication. Save your money, shop elsewhere!”

“Stay away from Ali Express. I received a $164.48 part that was defective. Seller does not respond and Ali express customer service tell me to pay $148.00 to return the item. I said. No, During the dispute I was told to deal with the seller that does not respond. When I contacted the customer service again, I was told I would get a return label in 24hr. 72 hour have past with no return item. Seller is NIMBUS FACTORY Store. Stay away. Contacted customer service again and they said just wait. So I am stuck with a defective item that I can not use. So much for Buyer protection. Like the casino, do not spend more then what you are will to lose. I hope this helps others.”

“Don't ever spend a cent on this scam website. Their entire website, app and operation is deceptive, dishonest and specifically designed to protect their sellers and screw the customers. As you can see by their 1.4 average star rating I'm not the only one that has been deceived and stolen from by this business. They need to be investigated for unlawful business practices and should not be allowed to continue doing business in North America.”

“Once again I have been an Ali express customer for years, but it would seem that things have certainly changed, so let's start from the beginning, my first order was 3 items, in that order 1item was incorrect, wrong item, so then the resolution process, so the seller offers refund of $1plus he will send you out new items, in the meantime you receive the $1 refund and ali express closes the resolution process, the items to be replaced are never sent and when you complain to ali express they tell you the resolution process has been closed, no matter how many times you try to explain you have not received the replacement items the case has been closed, the seller knows this and will never send the replacement items, 2nd case, reordered new items from another seller to replace the replacements you have not received, this seller takes his time to send out these items and you do not receive these items for another month in the mean time you open a case with ali express as the seller has not sent the items, these items arrive a month later just as ali express then send out that you will not receive a refund as you have not supplied enough evidence, the items that you do receive late are also incorrect items, but ali express have closed the case and you have no chance of getting a refund for the items that are also incorrect items, 3rd case, you then order replacement items off ebay these items show up so you can now test the remaining items from your first order, one of these items in testing now shows to be a faulty product, so once again you go to ali express for a refund replacement, they then give you just over half of the refund as they assume that you have already been using the items so will only pay part of the initial purchase with no come back to duspute their process, no longer any buyer protection, my own cases of recent, sellers deliberately giving false and misleading tracking information, they have not sent products at all, when you do eventually get the products they are not the products ordered and then the resolution process, these sellers are totally protected for what I can only call sellers running scams, how can you lose a resolution or return refund when you have received incorrect products, or if the products received turn out to be faulty, Ali express will give excuses as to why you are not getting a refund, you have had the product and been using it, well I have not been able to use that product because some of my products in the order were incorrect, so I couldn't possibly be using the product while waiting for replacement products to arrive, that never did arrive and I have had to order elsewhere, ( ebay) before I could do any testing of the products that I did receive earlier, so Ali express is now out of the question to buy from, I'll pay a bit more through ebay, but at least I know if there's a problem it will more than likely be fixed. The pictures below are of ngff drives, I ordered. nvme drives and have never seen the replacements or the refund, these ones were to replace another incorrect order that I never saw the replacement items or a refund, diputed with Ali express in both cases and their judgement was for no refund, the other was faulty ram that they said I had been using, but a bit hard to test if you don't have the parts to go with it, to actually start testing, unfortunately I won't show proof of purchase in photo as this has my details on it, but have shown order numbers that these items sent were incorrect or faulty, with either replacement items not sent or no refund given or partially refunded items that don't work, but time to cancel my time here with Ali express, it would seem even their administration has become dishonest and will do everything in their power to now not give a refund, on incorrect or faulty items, I have now gone to PayPal to see if this can be resolved on the first order, that still hasn't been resolved through Ali express”

“The worst! Their shipments have automatic receipts, meaning past a certain amount of time, their tracking system marks the item as received. Now, you have to provide them the proof that you did not receive it. Nevermind, that goes against EU law, since the seller is responsable for the proof of receipt, it's also a scam tactic, since you can't proof the non-receipt of the shipment. I'll never, ever in my life buy anything from this rip-off site again, and suggest you stay clear off that Chinese dumpster as well.”

“AliExpress customer service is a joke!! I have purchased an item from NAVIFANS Multimedia GPS Store. I have purchased a head unit for $420 (clearly states you can return it in 90days which is still on their page). It is a Plug and Play item. So all you need to do unplug the old cables and replace with the new ones. We have installed and didn’t work. We have contacted the seller as item doesn’t work. He wanted us to do some tests and confirmed he will replace the faulty item after tests. We have done and confirmed that head unit doesn’t work. After confirming he wanted us to do more tests with videos. We have done them all. Now they want us to cut and connect the wires to make it work but I’m sure they are buying time. They wanted us to damage the items wiring. They sent us all the cutting wire photos etc. So they accepted it’s faulty. I wanted to return the item or a replacement but he never answer this a part from “friend corporate with us it will be very expensive” So I decided to contact the AliExpress customer service which is the BIGGEST JOKE. They have ignored first 2 attempts. I have kept on trying and figured out “THERE IS NO WARRANTY IN ALIEXPRESS!! For even any fault items. (They said depends on the seller but there is not a time period. So with my personal experience there is no Warranty at all) after another attempt customer service send me an email they can’t see any problem so they closed the request. I have tried. One more time they closed the ticked as we have to deal with seller directly (I have tried many times). Final one says we have to contact the seller as they sent him to send me a video how to fix video. I have purchased so many item from AliExpress but this experience ruined the image of AliExpress. I will pay a little more and buy everything from EBay and they deal these problems in no time and EBAY HAS BUYER PROTECTION AND EBAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. I can not even leave a bad review for the seller because they only allow to reviews in 30days of purchase. NEVER BUY AN EXPENSIVE ITEM FROM ALIEXPRESS or you will loose over $420 like me AliExpress order “8184603602448459“”

“It’s a scam. Never got my merchandise. The tracking they give does not align with UPS. I couldn’t file a report with UPS directs you back to seller, the picture of delivery was not my house and the size of the package was not my package. Got the run around and having to dispute charge with bank. Never again will I buy from them”

“There are several issues with AliExpress: 1. Counterfeit/Fake and bad products I personally did not order much clothing or textiles from them but getting brand names for cents on the $ should give you a clue (Too good to be true?). Despite, you can get into trouble with US customs if you order them. Electronics I did order. Stay away from SD cards or Computer hard drives. I assume that the majority of them are so called “B-stock” and are not worth even 1c as they do not provide the capacity advertised or you have other issues like data loss etc. 2. Shipping AliExpress makes it really hard to track and order. Not only do they allow sellers change the tracking, you might get multiple tracking numbers. In my opinion this leads to the delivery scams for which AE is well known for (Google it). In addition, if your tracking starts with “BTP” you most likely encounter issues with your deliveries….. From the looks of it, BTP stands for a company called BETTER TRUCKS. AliExpress or their shipping partner CAINIAO seems to use them for last mile delivery. From personal experience I can tell you that this is the worst delivery company I have seen. Not only does it take super long for them to deliver packages (I have seen 14+ days without movement of the package in the US), they also seem have a habit of delivering packages to the wrong address or their tracking shows items as “delivered” (at odd hours!), while in fact, no delivery was made. The above makes it really really hard to file a claim with AliExpress…..Btw, Better Trucks customer service is pretty much useless. AliExpress provides you with a phone number but all you get is an answering machine and you are lucky if they respond to emails. 3. Refund process (for items not delivered) Make sure you track the estimated delivery date and once you are 1-2 days over that delivery date, file for a refund. Attach screenshots of the expected delivery date as evidence. If you can obtain tracking information, attach it as well. Then the “waiting game” starts. AliExpress is very slow reviewing your case but I had good success with getting my refunds for items I never received. 4. Refund process (for defective of wrong items received) I tried to return one item which was a total disaster! I know, I ordered the correct part but the seller sent the wrong one. As the evidence was clear, AliExpress decided for a refund in my favor, as long as I ship the item back. I decided that I don’t want to waste another $50 on shipping to China for an $80 part….If the seller sent the wrong part, they should pay for the return shipping - not the buyer! These kind of decisions are bad for business in my mind and will hurt them in the long run. Overall - Stay away if you can. The few cents you save are not worth all the hassle!”
