Is AliExpress a Scam site or is it Safe?

My experience with purchasing from AliExpress web site.

[@aygulmemet4201]

Here's my advice: 1. Only confirm that you received your order AFTER you test it out. 2. Orders should not take over 10 days to ship. Cancel your order and get it from a different store instead. 3. NEVER cancel a dispute if the seller asks you to. Always do refunds in the dispute page. 4. Don't believe in resends. Always get your money back first. 5. Always ask to EXTEND your buyer protection period. You are not able to open disputes if it expires. 6. If the seller ignores your messages then contact a live chat agent. 7. Never use your real name or phone number for shipping. They can call and harrass you.

Thanks this is so helpful 🙃

[@happydays9613]

​@@Rosemary-gc7be not good advice, as if you are scammed no money return coming back your way, with bank or PayPal or credit card charge back.

[@snowmass5310]

You are so good at explaining.When you said a random surprise will arrive,that is exactly how I feel when I see an aliexpress package in my mailbox

[@snowmass5310]

@Drago Bakota Not sure about that product ,the ones I buy are usually related to home decor but good thing is they always refund if you don't get a product. You can raise dispute if you haven't received the item and ali provides full refund.

[@Ecj8989]

The app is safe, just buy stuff that has reviews and a lot of sold products.

[@Agoodkindfella]

ok thanks

[@CarlJohnson-yg8bg]

Yup

i bought something that had 16 orders, is that bad?

[@wakeupuriel]

@@THEzenstarrie not necessarily but hopefully you’ll get your package. More orders can just make you feel safer investing into the item of your choosing

[@bootlegfiguresyt6802]

Not a scam,but some sellers right there are irresponsible...in my case i was ordering 5 items but seller only send it 4 items,if it sold then why they dont tell me from the begining,so i can replace my order and not wasting my time for dispute and waiting for their ultra-slow shipping again

[@MrVidification]

nowadays it feels like ebay and amazon are subsidiaries of aliexpress, using the same stock imagery and selling the same questionable quality items

[@PoolarityChannel]

So true, people buy from AliExpress, mark up prices 5x to 20x and resell on Amazon and eBay

[@MrVidification]

@@PoolarityChannel etsy too, everything is 'hand made'.. but in a large factory ;) as for these stores in general I'm using ebay rarely but only for what I know will be throwaway junk. Scams seem to have increased over the last few years for most. 'verified by amazon' is no guarantee of not receiving a counterfeit according to some media. I gave up on amzn a long time ago though - after they introduced the delivery fee for all items under a certain value. For obvious safety reasons on these sites I generally avoid tech items

[@jessicah3450]

I've noticed that too, the pictures look nothing like what you get, and then the same cheap junk is on Amazon.

[@GangGang-yy3yc]

Basically just make sure the seller is legit check to see how many sell’s they made or check the stars or reviews and you should be good

[@XzibitZ]

Ik that I'm a year late but it's pretty good I picked up some products and majority got delivered really fast. The only real con that the website has is some packages may take a while.

[@dabisgirlfriend9964]

Just look at the pictures and reviews to see if that typical product!

[@itzamazing3438]

I felt like it was a scam only because it was so cheap

It's not a scam, it's more like gambling. You buy a thing and wait a month to see what you get. 🤣 Me, I don't mind the waiting and the protection so far has been good. I buy lot of blocks too, MOC parts and the brick mecha.

[@LucyyyyLove]

I got some stickers from there like 1 month ago but they never showed up?

Refund within a week seems a bit odd.

[@SK-gm9uc]

its a scam and they won't answer if you want a refund. so theres no buyer protection or guarantee. fuck that

[@kfcchicken496]

My question is I don't really use aliexpress but do you have to pay cash on delivery or do you have to pay through a device before ur order comes? Just curious could someone answer

[@theonceler1.]

how many orders is there meant to be to see whether it’s safe?

[@randomstuff654]

I already paid for my items and now they asking me to pay for it again why is that

[@PoolarityChannel]

Check your credit card, see if you actually were billed.

[@WhosinParis]

Guys, if you didn’t know, Alibaba, the parent company of AliExpress, is one of the biggest companies on the earth 😂

[@VitorMadeira]

What about customs taxes?

[@PoolarityChannel]

None. I the nearly 30 or so packages I've ordered, never had to pay any additional fees or taxes or customs.

[@VitorMadeira]

@@PoolarityChannel that's cool! Here in Portugal we have some real "surprises" whenever the customs services think the products we buy from China might have cost more than €22 Euros...

[@paulmorgan8254]

always be realistic about import duties, if you don't declare correctly they will impound and fine you as well. customs is the strongest institution in any country.

[@eddiecantarelli6260]

Don’t order from AliExpress. You will be frustrated that’s for sure!

[@brooklyndahn]

@@yx.mxguel some people said it takes 30 days or more I don’t think I’ll be ordering from there people say it’s a scam

[@yx.mxguel]

@Nexo Wolf I don’t think AliExpress is a scam, most of the stuff you order from there are from China and since the whole pandemic is causing trouble it’ll take months before arriving. I don’t exactly remember how long I waited but I’m assuming close to 4-5 weeks to get my hoodie, it’s a win win I guess, you can buy cheap stuff but you’ll have to wait some days to get it. Other than AliExpress, Amazon is different, it tells you exactly how long it’ll take for the item to arrive, usually it’s abt a week or less, nothing big. From now on I’d say buy stuff from Amazon if you’re not willing to wait that long :))
