AliExpress
Questions & Answers

Those swindlers sell what they don't have... forget about it... they are a bunch of Chinese thieves!

Aliexpress is a scam. Received a rock in a box instead of the item I ordered, seller still was able to keep the money even after i opened a dispute.

Do not buy from aliexpress the quality is terrible and lots of sellers never send the items. Also they sell counterfeit designs too which is illegal to purchase.

They are not real scam. But the chance is high the product is poor quality and you have zero chance to claim your money back.

50-50 shot, seems more of a scam to me. Wouldnt chance it

It didn't work for me. I noticed... too late... that they post pictures off the internet or popular magazines and try to replicate the product. Sometimes things are of quality and sometimes... not. I don't know if it's the language problem or not. For jewelry, a no go. For clothing, the style/design on point, size way off. If your shoe size is small, still double check the comparable size. If they are stating that the product is leather, make sure you copy the description. Because sometimes the article you order "disappears" after your receipt. Finally, make sure you can afford the financial loss if the item is not what you want. Three reasons, if you use Paypal, the refund takes a long time, 2- Aliexpress will not refund without the backing of a large bank, so use a card connected to a bank here in the U.S. that is not afraid to go after your funds. Finally, you cannot sell the product with a clear conscience (if you feel it's below par, why would you try to perpetuate that disappointment?). The items seem cheap because they are cheaply made with low quality materials. The products that are of quality, are reflected in the price. As a result, not much difference from what you will pay at an outlet designer store. One more thing to keep in mind, returns will be absorbed by you. The cheapest cost to send the product back is $13.57 for a 3 ounce package. Without a guarantee of receipt from China. The price for signature or confirmation starts at $30.00.
Are they a scam? You get a product but not what is advertised. They try to make what looks like the product. I hate to disqualify the entire service, but each time I dealt with them (multiple merchants come under this banner-Aliexpress is like a cheap reflection of Ebay), I was deeply disappointed, and angry because of the response and lack of responsibility taken by Aliexpress. I plan to blog about the experiences, to help others.
Did this information help?

I bought boots from Eeay-Shopping (Sty Chess), advertising showed "genuine leather boots". The only genuine leather was the tag on the back of the boots!
Filing a dispute with AliExpress was totally useless.
Don't waste your time or money.

I bought from AliExpress once and never again. You can't trust what's advertised. I ordered stainless steel dishes and got something cheaper than recycled sheet metal. It's an old trick of showing you pictures of high end products as a bait and then sending you crappy stuff not worth your money and patience. DO NOT BUY! You're only feeding those crooks and make other sellers and companies from China look bad. Look how many bad reviews there are on this site, check out AliExpress' Facebook page where negative comments get deleted every seconds (mine included).
I recommend buying from eBay even if you get a fake at least you're protected by PayPal.

Esther, AliExpress is no scam. It takes some time for the packages to arrive, but most of the time they do. If not, or the item is not as described by the seller, you will receive a partial or full refund. After 150 things I bought on AliExpress, I sure it's as save as Ebay or Amazon. But one note to remember. Be careful with shoes or clothing, the sizes won't always match American/European standards.

You've been warned! Chinese theivs!
