AliExpress Shopping App 12+

I am happy shopping at this outlet. But it would be great if we got answers back a little bit quicker than what we do I’ve asked quite a few questions but never got any answers. This is my second review and I’m happy to say that they have been a lot better with getting back to me, I am happy with Ali express at the moment the items are coming quicker than before andBut things that I have ordered when COVID-19 was on I am still waiting for some of those but other than that I’m very happy with the company. —————————————————————————- His top review is from months ago not sure while it’s still here I’m pretty sure that I sent it, but I think it is a good thing AliExpress , Times I don’t think that the people are understanding messages that come from the customer a lot of times I have messaged and it seems like they really don’t understand what I am saying . Since the Coverd restrictions have been lifted I have been receiving my orders very quickly so very happy with that thank you very much

This is the first time that I have brought from this company and I’m very impressed. The product is excellent. They packed it in a little plastic container which is fantastic Could not be happier with this company. I received my product within 2 to 3 weeks. I would totally buy from this company again . thank you once again.

Personally I don’t shop on AliExpress for expensive luxury items. However small electronic parts , tools and consumables are perfect. Quite often I’ll go into a retail store in Australia a look for a part for my projects and the price is just ridiculous. Hop on AliExpress and I can get the exact ( and in some cases I mean exact, these retailers just purchase in bulk, repackage and up sell) same product for 1/10th cost.
Downside is shipping and quality. The kind of quality is what you should expect from a cheap mass produced item. The products are not always the shiniest prettiest out there, occasionally might have some flaws.
I only use gift cards to purchase items, but you should be doing that with any online purchase in my opinion. Of course the only time I had to apply for a refund they refunded to a non-existent card, so there is a downside to that too.
Finally shipping is a strange one. It can take 2 months or 1 week. So only buy if it’s not needed urgently. Also because AliExpress is like a lot of these other on-sellers, you can get reduced postage if you purchase a lot of items together. If you make many single smaller purchases you pay for postage each time.
Also in my case if they ship to Australia and use Australia Post it takes longer. If the shipping is through their own network it’s really quick and you get delivery text from the driver. (I actually saw him drop the parcel off take picture and text me instantly)

Great app. Great market. Lovely dealing directly with Chinese manufacturers and wholesalers who will delightfully sell to us at the retail level. With some, it's a lovely way to shop and have things custom made and have a brief interaction with the manufacturer or artisans who go out of their way to provide good service. A lot of great products, a lot of cheap ones too, but a lot of great stuff if you learn how to look for it. Such a fun way to relatively cheaply scratch a shopping itch too and get some great gadgets. Some of my favorite purchases have been floral nail art stickers for a few cents a sheet, gua sha tools in an array of different semi precious stones (my favorite is my beautiful multicolored fluorite one!), custom made Chinese name stamps, silicone cake decorating moulds, and an embroidery hoop stand! All of these have been good quality products that I couldn't really find elsewhere so it's not just duplicating eBay although these retailers sell there too, usually. You can access some beautiful traditional Chinese products like wood carvings and stone carvings, green tea from different regions, pottery, basketry, embroidery, Chinese dresses and fabrics, calligraphy and art supplies, and then they have the cheap western style goods that are good too.
