AliExpress Reviews: 43 Verified Reviews (1.2/5)

ReviewTerminal SummaryBased on recent reviews

AliExpress has a 1.2/5 rating due to systemic failures in refund processing, inadequate customer service, and widespread product quality issues that leave customers without recourse.

What customers love

Low prices and wide product variety
Fast initial shipping to some regions
Occasionally acceptable product quality for certain item categories

Common concerns

Refund requests systematically rejected or delayed for 7+ weeks despite clear evidence of defects, wrong items, or non-delivery
Customer service relies on automated responses and bots that ignore evidence, repeat standard templates, and fail to escalate genuine issues
Return shipping costs forced onto customers contrary to stated policies, with promised reimbursements never received or replaced with worthless region-locked coupons
Significant delivery failures including lost packages, stuck-in-transit items with unreliable tracking, and lazy last-mile delivery services like SpeedX with no human contact options
High rate of counterfeit and defective products arriving with no quality control, including fake branded items
Protection period tactics used to deny valid claims after deadlines pass, and region-locking of compensation tools to prevent payouts

I Love AliExpress

I have been ordering from AliExpress for a few years now. The service is amazing and postage and tracking awesome. The womens gym/ sports clothes are amazing quality and amazing prices. Also the mens T shirts that i have ordered have been great. The jewellery and other items i have ordered also have been of good quality. There is so much variety to choose from. The returns are very easy aswell. I personally have never had a bad experience with aliexpress and have ordered alot. I highly recommend.
