Awful!

If I could give 0 I would. Awful experience buying from them. Bought a lot of Lego type items for a present, two were missing pieces so couldn’t carry on building, trying to return these and get money back has been horrendous! So seller wouldn’t co operate so I filed a dispute with PayPal. Eventually the buyer said I could return, wouldn’t send me a label so I’ve had to return myself costing £27 per parcel. At present the parcels are stuck in customs and only the addressee can release them which they won’t do so basically I’ve lost my money. PayPal won’t refund cos the parcels haven’t reached the recipient. Really really avoid not a good company

Do not buy from AliExpress. They are scammers.

Order Number: 3074651372177941
I am extremely disappointed with AliExpress.
I ordered 6 items, but my package arrived with only 5. The missing item was the 2pcs Broom-Dustpan set. I contacted customer service and requested either a replacement or a refund, but they refused both.
I also noticed that the missing item is out of stock, which makes me believe this is the real reason it was never included in my package. Despite this, AliExpress still refuses to take responsibility or issue a refund.

Advertised at £0.99, Charged £7.45

I am very disappointed with my experience. As a new customer, I was offered a welcome gift for the MicroSHIFT M25-6 Right Twist Shifter at £0.99. However, when I went to checkout, the price changed to £7.45. This felt misleading and left me feeling deceived. If you advertise a welcome gift at a specific price, it should be honoured at checkout. I hope AliExpress addresses this issue and provides a better experience for new customers.

Aliexpress refund system& courier

The courier company used left my package under the car in driveway in the night .
When I got the email that the package had been delivered, I saw it in the morning only to find that the package was not there.
Could not understand why it was left outside under car , which shows there is someone indoors , why not ring the door bell.
I applied for a refund as goods not received, that's where it became difficult, had to apply and appeal as they refused a refund at least 3 or / 4 times . They had a picture of the package left under car , a screen shot of the chat with the courier advising to get in touch with the courier.
Finally got a refund after 3 days , refund if 1 item a day. It was 1 delivery in 1 package but they wouldn't accept the same proof for all 3 items.

Very disappointing and poor service.

AliExpress shoe storage cabinet review

I purchased a “Stable Multi-Layer Door, Large-Capacity Space-Saving Shoe Storage Cabinet (Dormitory Dustproof),” but it arrived damaged and was very poorly packaged. The delivery was also delayed—it was expected on 3 July but only arrived on 16 July. The quality is extremely poor and not as advertised online; the panels are very thin and not worth $92. The seller asked me to pay for return shipping before issuing a refund, which I find unacceptable. I contacted customer service, and they promised a compensation and refund within 48 hours, but I have received no response. I have records of all conversations. I have already spent over two hours trying to resolve this issue but no solution.

I ordered a product on AliExpress…

I ordered a product on AliExpress (Order 3058621170597815). The item was defective, so I requested a return in October 2025. AliExpress provided return instructions, and I shipped the package back to China via DHL (tracking: CY731194892DE), paying 25,49€ for shipping.
On 27.01.2026, the package was rejected by Chinese customs and returned to Germany. Because of this, DHL charged me an additional 10,00€ fee. Total shipping costs I paid: 35,49€ — for a return that never reached the seller due to AliExpress incorrect return address/instructions.
I contacted AliExpress multiple times. Their chat agent acknowledged the problem, escalated my case (Case ID: 2053808438878684), and confirmed that my earlier chargeback (24.09.2025) covered only the product price, not shipping costs. The agent promised a senior team would review my refund request within 1–3 working days.
Instead of a refund, I received automated emails telling me to "contact the logistics provider" and that AliExpress "can't handle the refund." This is unacceptable — the customs rejection was caused by AliExpress, not DHL or me. Under EU consumer protection law, the seller is responsible for costs arising from incorrect return instructions.
AliExpress has ignored my evidence, wasted my time, and refuses to take responsibility for their own error. I demand a full refund of 35,49€ for shipping costs caused by their mistake.

Only Automated Replies, No Real Solution

I received a defective product that does not work properly. I wanted to return it, but the return shipping costs approximately 350 MAD, which is too expensive.

I am not refusing to return the product. I simply requested a Speedaf prepaid return label or a full refund because the product is defective.

Unfortunately, every time I contact customer support, I receive the same automated reply telling me to follow the return instructions. My actual problem is never addressed, and no real solution is provided.

I expected better customer service and fair support for defective products.

The latest scam from aliexpress

The latest scam from aliexpress. Now they advertise low prices like $49 for a small UPS and then have the postage listed for $720. so make sure you look at the postage before you click purchase. Other items have similar postage prices they varied from $200 to around $800 . "Have to make a profit some how :-)"

They may be the cheapest but unfortunately also the dumbest. If you move elsewhere it's like "Nu address? Vot's DAT???"

AliExpress,

AliExpress,

I am disappointed by the lack of transparency and accountability regarding the Football Mania credit exchange program. Many users invested significant time and effort participating in the event, earning credits with the expectation that they could be redeemed as advertised.

However, the redemption process has been unclear, inconsistent, and extremely frustrating. Credits often become unavailable instantly, opportunities to redeem appear limited without explanation, and users are left without meaningful communication about how the system operates.

Participants deserve clear information about redemption availability, allocation rules, and any limitations affecting exchanges. A promotional event should provide a fair and realistic opportunity for users to obtain the rewards they have worked toward.

I respectfully request that AliExpress provide greater transparency regarding the Football Mania credit exchange system and offer a fair solution for users who were unable to redeem their earned credits despite actively participating in the promotion.

Thank you.

Awful, avoid

Awful. The product took a few months and then the courier they used kept avoiding delivery saying my address was wrong when it wasnt. After demanding a refund the courier suddenly delivered it. Then what was delivered was nothing like what was advertised. A piece of furniture missing half of the railing and tiny, a fraction of the size specified. Complete waste of time and money. At this point not worth trying to return, it will just go straight in the garbage and an expensive mistake on my side to order from this dodgey company. My advice, your better off paying a little more from somewhere local. Such a scam

Refund

I am extremely disappointed with AliExpress and the way my return of two dresses was handled. The dresses did not fit me, and I followed the correct return process. The seller confirmed that the return should be free, but instead of a smooth solution, I had to deal with a complicated and frustrating process.
I felt that AliExpress did not properly protect the buyer. Even though I provided all the necessary information and tried to resolve everything fairly, the return process was stressful and time-consuming.
Be careful when ordering clothes on AliExpress. If the item does not fit, returning it may not be as easy as expected. I expected better customer service and stronger support for buyers.
This experience has seriously affected my trust in AliExpress. I hope the return system will be improved so other customers do not have to go through the same problems.

Useless Fraudulent Customer Support

Had an item which was delivered broken. I’ve tried and tried again to get a replacement or a refund and have got absolutely and frustratingly nowhere. Chatted with the manufacturer and they say they can get involved. Chatted with Ali and they say I have to raise a dispute. Did that and their “dispute” system does not work. Upload video and pics of the fault as instructed - it does not work - and their AI app ignores that and continually defaults to state I have changed my
mind and want to return it! It’s not the value which is negligible, but it’s the principle. Useless.

I do not recommend AliExpress. In my experience, the company did not send the item I ordered, and I felt misled throughout the process. It was very frustrating to pay for a product that never arrived.
I found the communication and customer service disappointing, and I did not feel that my issue was handled fairly. Based on my experience, this is not a company I can trust, and I would be very cautious before ordering from them.
