Total scam! I've been ordering from Ali for over 6 years and they've taken a complete nosedive! They used to protect their buyers but now AliExpress has become the scammer. "Choice" items are protected and guaranteed, fast shipping, refund in 30 days if no delivery. I placed a $200 order, all Choice items, It's been nearly 45 days and still no order yet they refuse to refund me! No idea where my package is! Choice items are guaranteed by AliExpress, not the seller. They've become just as fraudulent as the scam artists they host! The photo below is just one of MANY, since you have to file a claim per item and I ordered LOADS. They are not stuck in customs. On their site it says awaiting flight. USPS says the tracking # is expired?!?
The seller authorized a refund weeks ago because my Order ID: **************** was lost at an airport with no tracking updates since November 9th! AliExpress is going out of business & no longer issues refunds or delivers orders! AS well, they no longer have a customer service department!

Purchased 2 smartphones that were supposed to work with US carriers. They did not. Contacted seller but seller was argumentative. So I initiated return thru Aliexpress platform. They provided prepaid return label. Aliexpress refunded only 1 phone, refused to refund 2nd phone. Tracking confirms delivered. Returned both phones in same packaging (as they were originally shipped). Even after several reconsiderations, they still refuse to refund full purchase price. Now trying to resolve thru Paypal and my credit card company, but Aliexpress is trying to oppose. This company is absolutely criminal.

Ordered Birdstock Home Adjustable Memory Foam Floor Chair. Used two days, gears locked or broke. When trying to check, zipper completely broke off. Reported to AliExpress, sent return label, but only refunded half saying chair still had some value. No value to me, no longer have chair. I appealed twice, no way of knowing appeal is legit, can't see in system. Both times, came back with same reply all while hiding behind their this mailbox cannot accept replies scripted emails. They kept half my money and the chair. Found out AliExpress does not sell name brand products, all Knock Offs. Buyer Beware. Online service reps lead you to believe you are so important, they love you, are on your side, will ensure you get a satisfactory resolution, mwah, mwah, mwah. Right. You have to repeat things already shared, will ask for additional pictures when you no longer have item. In my case, thieves.

I ordered a piece of furniture from AliExpress that was never delivered. I have had no luck being reimbursed. The tracking number for FedEx I was informed went to a different address and receiver but they couldn't provide me with that private information. The missing shipment weighed 17lbs, a far cry from my 143lb bookshelf that I paid for. Please do not be another victim of AliExpress or Alibaba which I was informed are the same.
Thanks for reaching out and we sincerely apologize for the experience you've had. We've checked the screenshots attached and recorded all the necessary details. I'll be working to assess the situation. Please keep an eye on your inbox for the upcoming communication. Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to connecting with you soon via email.
Finally Ali have conceded that order from 26th December '24 is not going to be delivered.
Numerous attempts to find out where it is,not updated since Jan. 18th "on its way".'Expected by 7th March,would not accept obviously lost somewhere,both seller and customer services 'its on the way'
70 days wait,now admit a refund.
Will delete app and info as not going to use again.
Temu offer £4 if delayed,nothing but a brick wall of 'but the tracking says."

Ordered 26th Dec,expected by Mar 7th!
Tracking not changed since Jan 18th. Cannot give me any further update
10 weeks delivery is pathetic,can't request refund until after March 7th.
Order id 3047308531963469.
Still no updates,still not changed status since Jan 18,still insist "on the way".
I have been buying from ALi Express since 2017. It was a long wait but I was getting money back if the item was delivered. Now as AI took over customer service, I'm getting nothing. No more customer service, no more items delivered to Canada, and no tracking numbers that show you location of the items. Everything is fake. I lost confidence. I made 4 purchases from the ALie Express without any delivery updates:
**************** Order date: Nov 27,2024
**************** Order date: Nov 27,2024
**************** Order date: Dec 18,2024
**************** Order date: Jan 7,2025
I try to contact customer service but it is AI even chatting with live customer service is fake it is the sam AI, just gets a new name with the same wording of answers and the same attitude. It seems I have to give up and change to another supplier of electronic parts

Answer: You are taking a very big chance by ordering anything from them... you will never get your money back and chances are you won't even receive the item you want. BUYER BEWARE
Answer: In my opinion. NO. I had to jump through hoops and make reports and threaten to make reports, it didn't help. I got my order, but couldve gotten the same thing from ebay faster and easier.
Answer: I purchased 3 pair of van's brand shoes via different companies on aliexppress and all were true to size. The off brands are not, so you need larger than you wear. But, ask and ali will usually provide a size comparison chart for you to use.
Answer: No customer service. Some sellers are dishonest. No way to recoup your money for items never sent. Bogus tracking information since no custom number unavailable. Sellers asking for your your PayPal account to make a refund when they are suppose tp use Alipay. Clean up dishonest sellers like co-co fashion store. I have ordered tother items thru Aliexpress without a problem but you should get rid of the bad ones. I am reluctant to use Aliexpress again after this bad experience.
Answer: There is no customer service what so ever so be very careful when buying on AliExpress. Buyer protection is a load of BS and if problems arise with your order they will always side with the seller. I would suggest using a shop that someone that you know has already used to purchase hair.
Answer: Omigod, they're not just knockoffs, they're knockoffs that are produced in someone's ill-lit basement by captive chimpanzees that are blind, malnourished, and suffering closed head injuries. Seriously, you'd get better value from your money if you used it to wipe your bum. Don't buy from this group of criminals and ripoff artists!
Answer: I had this issue several times. The issue is that they only allow a certain number of characters ( Letters and numbers) in the description of the problem. So you will need shorten the number of words in the description and re-send until it goes through.
Answer: From my experience, there are as responsible sellers and is not responsible sellers. Second worse then have to raise a dispute. If this does not help, then raise a dispute above, and then as they say it all depends on You. As far as your arguments are strong. Almost always get a refund in the amount of shipping cost or part cost of the goods, if the goods were not received appropriate quality. Less full price. The full value is returned when the order didn't come at all. Also when you have paid but you did not send an order for a certain time. But again, it all depends on your arguments and facts provided by the seller or, to the Commission on the proceedings of the claims. But it is also necessary to take into account all the items from the seller, this is what guarantees he gives, product reviews buyers. And his overall rating. Never be lazy to write a review about the product from a particular seller, you will be the same customers as You. There is also an important factor, which I would say is pretty negative. It if the product was defective and not as described on the website. The seller has the punkt Returns accepted if product not as described, buyer pays return shipping; or keep the product & agree refund with seller.) 1. If the seller accepts returns, and the buyer also wants to return their purchase, simply follow the seller's sets of Returns on who will pay the return shipping fee. If the seller will pay the fee, communicate with them in advance about the payment method and the logistics service. 2. If a seller sets no return necessary or you want to keep the product, simply agree the refund amount directly and ignore the return shipping fee. It turns out that if you decide to return, it will often more expensive than the product itself and the meaning of no turning back, because when you return the money, only for the goods excluding the cost of shipping there and back. Therefore, I can not sell brand quality products, and will only return part of the money for the goods. That financial will have a negative impact but only You. Which means be careful, cock all the "pros" and "cons". You are not forced to buy it personally, Your decision. The more You provide facts that you have been deceived, the more chances and money You have spent, You will return. For all the time of purchase, the money is returned in full or in part. The Commission for the analysis of complex situations works, but is considering the case for a long time, so don't despair if You didn't reply, just "keep abreast" and you will not lose anything Sorry my bad English :)
Answer: 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.
