The customer service members were incompetent. A seller scam me with the wrong tracking number and when I inform aliexpress, they do not want to refund my money and give me a tough time. Up to the point, the seller apologize for the mistake and the seller is the one who is willing to refund me the money. Aliexpress is just worse than Ebay or Amazon combine.

The watch that I ordered worked for a short time, then I couldn't get it to charge. Their "support" was not helpful at all and when I asked for a refund, they sent me $1.

I give them 1 start because it seemed they really tried to make my tea-bag machine work, but it doesn't... sent them pictures and videos of it operating and they are very slow to come back with a resolution, then they repeat the same suggestion and pictures over and over... the latest attempt (a video showing what's going on) resulted in. NO response, I'm trying to return at least the faulty part (only the top section), but its like pulling teeth to try and move the process. Needless to say they probably won't just send me the part that is faulty. David Kincade LiveOak Wellness Concepts

Ordered pajamas for my dogs and received the wrong sizes. I opened a dispute at which I was told I would get a reorder. I never did. I reached out to the store several times and no more feedback. They just took my money. I have ordered from aliexpress for years and they have changed the way customers are handled with little to no assistance or accountability fromantic aliexpress. I was told via live chat to handle the story myself. This use to not be this way. No protection for the customer. The website is even more difficult in how to contact for the customer. I will not be a customer no longer.

Aliexpress is absolutely the worse online shopping experience you will encounter. I am a web developer with over 20 yr exp and I cant imagine another site with a worse shopping process. It took me (seriously) over an hour to check out and order one small item. If I didnt really need this item (at this low cost) for my son I would have been long gone! So I endured 45 min of chatting with support (that was fun) and because they offer no phone #s (so shady) you have to resort only to chatting. My first attempt to check out involved adding all my personal info and credit card info only to come to an error page. I have no idea why and by the way it did not give me any opportunity to enter a user name and password for creating an account which lead to my next issue in trying to recover my account that was never set up. So when I clicked to create an account it said my email was already associated with an account!!! UGH. However there's no password that was ever created. This is just the start of what took 8 credit card submissions, 45 min chatting with support because there's no support phone # and a call to the bank to clear their name of attempting hacking... in addition to NO email receipt verifying my order to finally get the order to go through. I have serious doubts that the item will ever come. Worse shopping exp ever. And by the way my online chat support said aliexpress does not DO email receipts... its not their thing. ummmmm okkaaay. Be warned.

1) Every time I've tried to open an account with aliexpress it keeps getting locked for some reason and I can never log back in because I their verification codes via sms never reach my cell phone - big problem. 2) The worst part of all is that their communication is mainly a bot-operated system (Eva bot for customer service) which you can never get past because it keeps looping the same threads of automated responses and you are never able to establish any human contact - Dead end. 3) There's no real contact information such as a proper email and/or phone line to reach an actual human - shady. 4) Home page keeps overloading and it makes it impossible to be able to click on important links at the bottom of the page - very frustrating. 5) Finally for some miraculous reason I managed to report a complaint saying all of the above yesterday and asking them to unlock my account and I'm still waiting for a reply... Frankly my dear... I don't think I'm getting any... Bottom line you probably have to be lucky enough to get through their absence of professionalism and from possible fraud to get what you want... Absolutely terrible... Just utterly terrible...

No phone, no money. The first day of using the phone, showed that those to whom I call, either do not hear me, or there is an inaudible speech. There is almost no mobile connection. 4G and LTE nowhere else, and 2G and 3G only in some places. I decided to check the originality of the phone. Each phone has its own unique number IMEI (Dial * # 06 # to see your device IMEI)You can check on the site www dot imei dot info.This number belongs to another phone. I contacted the seller and he offered to return the phone and pledged to pay the postal expenses and give me full refund for the phone. I sent the parcel back to the address indicated on it, provided proof to the seller, and he said that this was not his address. I opened a dispute, and AliExpress allowed me to prove that people on the other end have a hard time hearing me and that the phone is counterfeit. And this is after my phone was gone. money was not returned to me

I placed an order on October 23rd, 2018 and paid for it the same day. I’ve gotten different dates for delivery the latest one I saw was the 22nd of NOVEMBER! That’s Thanksgiving I have waited for my order for too long as it is I doubt they’ll deliver anything on the holiday I needed it before then. Aside from that there is no one for me to talk to no numbers or other contact information oh there was a live chat so I thought it’s a mechanical setup. I’m really discussted I just want my money back I’m tired of waiting!!!

Delivery time is too long. (2 months or longer) Problem solving is very slow. The seller is doing business according to his pleasure.

Purchased a battery. Battery was no where to the specs that was listed on the page. Was told by support to contact the seller. I did, and the seller didn't respond. Support said they'd take care of it. They asked for evidence of the issue in order to process a refund. I sent them a video showing all the problems. They claimed they couldn't see it. I filmed it perfectly with a high end camera this time. They told me to wait. They then said the seller would handle it. I tried talking to the seller, the seller didn't respond. Support again told me to wait. Then they finally contacted me telling me that I was too late to receive a refund. Their support pretty much scammed me. They did so, so that Aliexpress wouldn't lose the profit on the sale. Do not buy anything from them, and especially anything high priced.

Reasons never to buy from Ali Express. 1) You will never get a refund for a defective item although they will give you hope for a long time 2) You will not be allowed to leave feedback for an item which you have disputed. Therefore do not rely on the feedback you do see for items on their website as it is rigged. 3) As of 2018, with GST and Customs Duty and Postal Charges being imposed on even small value items, be prepared to pay around 50% of the item cost to the postman on delivery with GST being the major chunk of it. 4) It takes about a month to receive the item. Its better to buy from Amazon / Flipkart, even if you have to pay more, as the feedback you see for items reviewed is not rigged and you will returns for defective items.

No customer service. All the have is a live robot to open a chat with. It will not be able to resolve any issues that are not pre programed into the site. I requested a refund for an orde that I did not receive and the selle denied it. Guess what else. THERE'S NO ONE TO CALL TO GET MY MONEY BACK!
