I'm sort of weary on purchasing from this website and I'm just curious if the deals are to good to be true or if this stuff is worth waiting for?
Whats the shipping time like for most items?
How has your experience been with different sellers and how is the quality of the items you purchased?"
-------------I found there are always similar questions questioned by people buy on aliexpress. Where are questions, there are answers. Here below is a good answer for this, you can take as a consideration if you have the same doubts.
"I've been buying stuff off Ali for about 10 years. My success rate on delivered goods is about 95%. In recent years, it's more like 100%. Here's a few things to know/realize to make your experience pleasant.
1 - Most of the stuff you find on Amazon, can almost always be found on AliExpress. If you can wait 3+ weeks for delivery, you can save a bunch. I try to get a 50% savings on most of the items I buy from AliExpress. Otherwise, go with Amazon. Keep in mind that you can't return anything to AliExpress. You buy it, you keep it.
2 - Never buy from a low "Orders" sellers. Make sure the seller has completed at least 100+ orders. Most of my disappointments were from sellers that only had a few completed orders.
3- I would shy away from brand name items. If you want the real thing, buy it from another reseller in the USA. Too many knock offs on AliExpress. Now, that isn't to say all their electronics are knock offs. I buy a ton of electrical items from there and they are fine.
4 - Never compromise with them. Never believe they are going to make a bad situation right. I'm not saying 100% of the sellers are scammers. It's just better if you don't have an expectation of them making things right. I have had refunds granted. I have had them reship stuff. But that is rare.
5 - If you are buying clothes... ALWAYS buy one or two sizes larger. Clothes are my biggest disappointments. So many times they are simply not big enough - even with buying the next size up. They have amazing deals on many clothing items. I've learned to buy a single item and see how it sizes up. If it fits right, I go back and buy a boatload of it.
6 - Shipping is sporadic. I place a large order of items on Christmas and half of the stuff has already arrived (January 7th). But from experience, I've had items that took 3 months. The slow norm is about 4 to 6 weeks. The quick norm is about 3 weeks. I'm beginning to think it all depends on when the boat leaves. If your order is close to the departure date, you'll see your stuff quickly.
7 - Don't panic if your tracking goes dark. Many times items just ghosted out and the vendor never replied. The item eventually arrived without notice or tracking information. This happens.
8 - And finally, ALWAYS use a credit card. Should something go sideways, just call the credit card and file a dispute. Every one of my disputes was immediately granted and my money was returned instantly. The Fair Credit Act is there for this purpose. Just be sure that you made a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute first with Aliexpress and the vendor. But I don't wait for them to reply. I tell them they have 48 hours to respond or I will file the CC dispute.
I honestly believe if you follow these guides, you'll have a much better experience with AliExpress and avoid many of the horror stories you see in this forum."
As a seller from China, from our experience, aliexpress is trustable and good buyer policy to protect buyers. you can trust it and give a try. If not good experience, just ask for refund, and you will get a good solution.
