“All cheating around all the time”

“Bought two shirts both of them were the size of a toddler when they were supposed to be adult 3x. Returnef the shirts and never received a refund from either vendor. This company is just filled with thieves. Nothing on their website is worse the hassle of trying to do business with this illegitimate company. They don't even have a phone number for their customer service, which basically means they have no customer service which is an accurate statement.”

“Terrible customer service from the seller/store. I ordered 2 clothing items. They shipped in the timeframe indicated, however once cleared customs, my package was actually delivered to a Chicago, IL address. It registered as "Delivered Successfully" on all of the tracking - except I live in Florida and verified in every possible way they have my correct shipping address on the order. The refunds process is nearly impossible. They would not respond or answer any of my questions on how they will fix this, including asking them to reship the package to me at my actual address on file. No response. TERRIBLE company. I will absolutely be buying American going forward. Horrible experience.”

“Avoid this AliExpress.com, other seller will send you wrong item, if you have any issue with your purchased you will wait 3 months to escalate the dispute process (on top of waiting 1-3 months tracking status delivery). Return for refund accepted. But take note: You will shoulder the return shipping cost (not free) a lot of $$$ What a waste of time and waste of money. Most of all No customer service phone number you can call to assist you.”

“ALIEXPRESS IS ALWAYS ON THE SIDE OF THE SELLER EVEN WHEN ITEMS ARRIVE USED AND BROKEN. THEY WILL ONLY PARTIALLY REFUND. THE WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH MAJORITY OF ITEMS BELOW STANDARD.”

“Everything that I have ever ordered from this company is either;; too small, delivered broke, made of low quality material that breaks soon after use. All junk, plus stores do not respond to purchases. Don’t waste your time ⏱, nor your Money 💸.”

“No customer service what so ever. Impossible to get an intelligent response from anyone. Sellers may respond, but once again, if an intelligent response is expected, forget it. They have had an error message running for six months or more saying help is being repaired, not yet. Click on 24/7 chat you get sent to FAQ.. Delivery, returns, refunds, who gets that far? When you cannot get simple responses from sellers, why would I spend any money? Ali Express represents everything North Americans try to avoid, Cheap Chinese Junk.”

“Several reasons to avoid ALIEXPRESS: A dispute submission to AliExpress has to be made within a very limited number of words, so it is difficult to write a compelling argument. This seriously stacks the odds against the buyer. The submission process requires the buyer to answer specific multiple choice questions which often do not include a viable answer. This leads AliExpress to rule against a submission only because their system did not anticipate and include the set answer that was necessary. During the dispute process the seller will often request photographic evidence of the problem, but it is not always possible to convincingly convey the details in a few photos and the alternative, a video, would be unacceptably large. In the unlikely event you can actually win a dispute with AliExpress their ruling will require the buyer to pay for the return postage. The minimum mailing cost to return an item, with a tracking number, to China from Australia may well by in the region of $20, and not economically viable. Once an AliExpress decision has been decreed, it is difficult if not impossible to communicate further via their dispute resolution process and one is left with the feeling that natural justice has been denied, if it ever existed in this process. IN CONCLUSION: AliExpress prices can sometimes (although not always) be very much cheaper than Ebay. That said, the quality of the goods can sometimes (although not always) be outrageously atrocious and sellers don't generally care about negative ratings because these are applied to individual products and are short term compared with the overall seller ratings in Ebay that apply to the entire life of the store. It is therefore very necessary to factor this into a buying decision. While I have found that on many occasions paying a little more at Ebay can be cheaper in the long run, I have made considerable savings at AliExpress, in some instances, where exactly the same product is available in both camps at markedly differing prices. My MO with AliExpress is now to stick to lower cost items where a problem free refund is more likely when required AND to always check out Ebay first for very much faster deliveries, a more democratic customer-focused environment and a rating system that motivates sellers to treat customers with respect.”

“Be careful what you order from these people. If you need to return something back or if it comes damaged or even if you don't get the item at all, they have a very unfair and confusing dispute system, I had ordered quite a bit from them over a couple of years, in that time I had to open 6 disputes, 4 times for items I never received and 2 times for damaged items. They denied my dispute two times for watches I never received, even with the tracking number showing I never received it. (How is it possible to get denied for that?). On two other occasions the item was damaged, one time they took money off the price and one time they denied my claim even though I provided a video of the item not working. When you're getting shipping from China a lot of times things go wrong, and when they do it's not easy getting it resolved with AliExpress. From now on I will keep my orders from them to less than $10.00, I am not going to risk losing more than that. Also I will keep my order to non-mechanical items, the quality control from them is not great. Although you can save money from them, what good is it if you never get the item and they deny your dispute?”

“Aliexpress sides with the seller. The quality and functionality of the product I ordered was not acceptable, yet they sided with the seller? Have to wait months and finally the product is not available? Don't waist your time ordering from them.”

“If there was a zero star, I would like to give it to the shop.They have sent the item to another federal state, the system shows it has been delivered. I opened dispute at once, but the aliexpress has no lawful system, they have become political and racial, they did not want me to open dispute. I contacted the robot Eva, since there is no human, and humality any more on Aliexpress, they said that the item has been delivered, and released money to the seller at once without my signuture as counter evidence against me, what a tyranny. Yes, but to the wrong place. The German Post and Aliexpress shipping shows the exact address of this shippment, it is in shellerten, not in my city. How can they always release money to the seller without buyer's agreement? Nearly 40 Euro, normal working people have to work for many hours for this money.”

“What went wrong you ask?......Opened parcel; broken contents; their site to settle disputes won’t upload my pics to prove my honesty aka that the goods arrived broken on any of my devices; they ignored my request to send the pics via email. They closed the dispute without allowing me to argue my point without the pics and without my consent. I have received no refund, no apology!! That’s what went wrong!! Dreadful customer service. I will NEVER do business with AliExpress again. This was the first and last time.”

“This site helps crooks who send you garbage instead of the goods you pay. When you open dispute AliExpress usually judges in favor of the seller claiming you evidence was no sufficient for this case. You could appeal but they never respond. It's dangerous to buy from them.”
