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.

WORST refund process. I bought 2 identical pairs of shoes, just in different sizes. Neither fit and had to be returned. Even though both pairs arrived to me TOGETHER, AliExpress made me return them separately (even though I began the return process at the same time). I chatted with AA to express my concerns that separating the two pairs of shoes might cause return delivery issues, especially since AA had me return one pair via Fed Ex and the other pair via USPS. My concerns turned out to be valid. One return pair of shoes was received by AA and they refunded me. However, AA claimed they did not receive the other pair. Like I said, they should not have been returned separately since I received them together originally. I had ample documentation from USPS stating that the items was delivered to the Linwood, NJ post office AND that the item was actually picked up by an individual. As directed by AA, I even had my USPS receipt stamped with the USPS official seal and signed by USPS staff. I had at least 3 disputes over this and at least 3 trips to USPS. I sent AA reasonable proof that the item was in fact returned to the post office AND picked up by an individual. It was not good enough for AA to refund me a crummy $11.82! The would NOT have happened if AA permitted me to return both pairs together, just like they were delivered to me originally. I have had to return many things over the years to Temu, Shein, Walmart, Amazon, Etsy, and Ebay and I have never dealt with such impossible requests. Although the AliExpress chat teams have been professional and empathetic, I felt like they "yessssed" me to death, but did nothing. I deactivated my AliExpress account and will NEVER do business with AA again.

aliexpress boast a no fault return policy that does not extend to receiving damaged goods. with photo evidence not enough they require video evidence that can not be downloaded then go into a appeales process when you denied a refund.

Absolutely terrible. After full payment on May 18th (today is June 25th) still haven’t even received a tracking number. I disputed the charges with PayPal, and after the waiting period to be refunded, Ali appealed to PayPal to wait until July 12th, with no reason given other than it’s been fulfilled!?!? Yet, still no tracking number. Ali didn’t provide any proof of fulfillment or shipment, just an appeal so that PayPal wouldn’t refund me! Even their website to track status doesn’t make any sense, distinguishing between shipping, tracking or receiving! Stay away!

My item is 4 days beyond the delivery date and has not even shipped yet. Customer service is horrible and trying to get a refund is impossible. Every day I cancel and the next day my cancelation is reversed! Terrible business!!

Horrible customer service. I ordered some brass 0.4mm plate for watch dial production and it arrived all bent, dented and scratched in a bag... Usually this would be braced with some cardboard at least. Customer service rep said "yep, that's pretty bad" then I received an email to say refund denied despite it being labeled as "AliExpress safe for free returns/refunds if damaged 100%" So the company lies, just outright... I will never trust this company again and will actively be sure to inform others.

Package was delivered to wrong address. It is shown clearly in the delivery driver photos. However, Aliexpress denied my refund request. Their communications when there is a problem with your order is so difficult to access with no phone number to call. I will never order from them again. What a headache.

Finally got bit by AliExpress. just deleted my account. They steal in small amounts so that you don't fight them. You let it go and that is how they make money. I bought soap and they shipped less than half. After I used the soap they said I should return the soap in its original packaging. Ok so basically you can't return it. They are very smart. They will never see another penny from me.
