“AliExpress charged me VAT twice, forcing me to pay an additional CLP 41,290 to DHL despite having already paid VAT and being offered free shipping. I submitted all the requested evidence, including invoices, payment receipts, and customs documents. Despite multiple complaints, AliExpress sent me four nearly identical generic responses, repeatedly requesting documents I had already provided. Customer service seems increasingly dominated by AI-generated responses filled with polite apologies but no actual solutions. It feels like nobody reads the complaints. I have already contacted the Help Center repeatedly, so please do not redirect me there again. **I demand a genuine human review and a full refund of the additional CLP 41,290.**”

“I bought a portable electric cooker from AliExpress, and the quality is very poor. I requested a return, but the seller declined it. Customer service said my case was a priority, but nothing has been done for over a week”

“I would rate at Zero if I could I would rate at Zero if I could. I shopped with AliExpress and ordered a Penelope costume. Completed the purchase and paid with my credit card. This was September 26th. Shipment was indicated as "Fast Delivery", Now it is October 19th and AliExpress has no record of my purchase. I verified that my credit card was charged. My inquiries and emails to AliExpress have not been answered. Rating: ZERO.”

“Their website does not do checks on addresses. The shipping address was wrong, yes, that's my fault for not to review carefully. But once the order ships from their Chinese supplies, I can't make any changes until it reaches local delivery company. I tried to contact the local delivery company, UniExpress, and they can't change it until it is attempted first delivery failure and item returned to the warehouse. Guess what, the delivery person made an "educated guess" and left the package at a random address, will photos proving the package left at a address different from the label. UniExpress told me to contact AliExpress, and AliExpress now says upon review they are denying my claim. The quality of Chinese good improved, their service still stinks.”

“Fake, defective tech items received. SD cards not working, worst is a faulty laptop which Aliexpress refused to refund despite providing evidences. Seller acknowledged the problem and apologised, but Aliexpress says there is nothing wrong and cannot authorise refunds. not recommended at all.”

“Aliexpress customer service has gotten so bad. It use to be no problem to get a refund or to get a problem taken care of. Now you have to jump through hoops for help. I ordered 3 items that came in one package that was delivered to wrong house. I have done 3 appeals and got denied a refund. I showed them Pic of my house and Pic of the house that carrier sent it and clearly not my house. I am never dealing with Aliexpress again. Very disappointed with them.”

“They are selling counterfeit batteries that could potentially explode at any time, and these batteries are being shipped by air. The platform has acknowledged the issue but still allowed the seller to continue doing it. At this point, it’s hard not to think that profit comes before safety.”

“Worst company ever! I had an issue and they sent every time a generic response, 10 emails with a generic answer. They don't care at all about the clients. If you use their services and have any problem, just know that they won't help you. I've uninstalled the app and will never ever use their services.”

“I had a terrible experience with this purchase; the order never arrived. I contacted AliExpress multiple times and provided all the delivery details showing the product had been delivered—but not to my address or in my name. I also contacted UPS, and they kindly sent me a letter stating that the tracking number AliExpress provided was not registered to my name or address and that the package had been delivered to someone else at a different location. However, UPS explained they could not release that specific information to me directly and that AliExpress needed to contact them to obtain it; AliExpress refused to do so and would not refund my money. For this reason, I do not recommend this company. I decided to close my account because it is clear they do not take responsibility and have no interest in investigating what happened to provide a solution.”

“I am extremely disappointed with how AliExpress has handled a straightforward warranty claim. I purchased an IPL hair-removal device through AliExpress on 1 December 2025. The device worked normally for around eight months and then suddenly failed. It still powers on and the different modes can be selected, but it produces absolutely no IPL light/flash, making it unusable. The product manual states that it has a 12-month warranty, so the failure occurred within the stated warranty period. I contacted the seller and provided evidence of the fault. The seller repeatedly told me they would resolve the issue and contact me, but they did not. I then escalated the matter to AliExpress. This is where the experience has become extremely frustrating. I have repeatedly provided AliExpress with video evidence showing the fault, photographs, a description of what happened and the warranty information from the manual. Despite this, AliExpress keeps sending me essentially the exact same generic response: "Your order was placed over six months ago" and asking for photos, a description, testing reports or other supporting evidence. I have explained repeatedly that I have ALREADY PROVIDED THESE THINGS. Their latest response even says "After inspection", yet they have not explained what was inspected, what evidence was considered, why the evidence I supplied is insufficient, or why the stated 12-month warranty does not apply. I am now stuck in a completely circular process: Device fails within the stated warranty → evidence supplied → seller promises to resolve → nothing happens → AliExpress asks for evidence → evidence supplied again → same generic response → repeat. I have not been given a meaningful assessment of the evidence or a proper explanation for refusing the warranty claim. I don't expect miracles from customer service. I expect them to actually read the evidence submitted and make a decision. Instead, I am repeatedly receiving what appears to be automated/template responses that don't address the specific circumstances of my case. For me, the biggest problem isn't even the value of the device. It is the principle and the complete lack of meaningful customer support when something goes wrong. If AliExpress advertises a marketplace where customers can purchase products with stated warranties, I expect those warranties to mean something. My experience so far has been: product fails within warranty, evidence repeatedly provided, seller repeatedly fails to resolve it, and AliExpress repeatedly sends the same generic response without addressing the evidence. I would strongly recommend keeping screenshots, videos and all correspondence if you buy anything expensive through AliExpress, because based on my experience, getting a warranty issue properly reviewed can be extremely difficult. I am still asking AliExpress to properly review the evidence and honour the stated warranty.”

“AliExpress has a 15-day return window, and once that passes, you are completely on your own. If your item breaks after those 15 days, they will not help you. They demand photographic evidence, but if a mouse or a drive simply does not show up on your PC, there is nothing to photograph -you cannot take a picture of something not appearing on a screen. They then tell you to go back to the seller to seek a remedy, which defeats the purpose of buyer protection. I purchased through the AliExpress platform, not directly from the seller, so AliExpress should be the one administering faulty item claims and standing behind the sale. Instead, they hide behind a short return window, demand impossible proof, and pass the responsibility back to the seller. No real warranty, no real accountability.”

“I do not recommend using AliExpress. I received a damaged item and was forced into a long and frustrating return process despite following all instructions, providing tracking evidence, and paying for tracked return shipping via DHL Express. The seller provided an invalid PO Box address that could not be used for delivery, and AliExpress did not properly resolve this issue or support the customer in obtaining a valid return address. Instead, I was repeatedly asked for the same information and left to deal with the problem myself. Even after doing everything correctly, the process has been unnecessarily complicated, slow, and stressful, with no fair resolution. Based on this experience, I would not use AliExpress again and cannot recommend it to others.”
