Is it safe to order from Aliexpress

I hear it all the time, is it safe to order from aliexpress. Let’s find out.

Its no surprise people are wary of spending their hard earned cash if there is a risk the goods won’t arrive. Honestly, I felt the same about ordering from Amazon for the first time. I am now a regular user with a prime membership and I would never be without it.

You have probably, like me looked at buying a few random bits and seen items much cheaper elsewhere. These sites are an unknown entity and may carry a risk of your money going away.

Take Wish as an example, loads of random stuff at what appear to be inexpensive prices. Wish has become a huge ecomerce site selling millions of items per year. Now when I have used Wish I get put off when it comes to the delivery charges. Items that once looked a real bargain buy start to creap into no so cheap items.

There are still plenty of bargains to be had on Wish but delivery is where aliexpress is different and in my opinion for the better.

So is aliexpress safe to buy from, yes. I have personally made hundreds of orders from aliexpress. Smart watches, fishing rods, reels, life jackets, Ant Farm, literally all manner of (some quite random) items.

Yes its definitely safe to order from aliexpress and it can be addictive too with no delivery charges on some items. You can opt to pay for delivery and this will allow you to track your items. Occasionally tracking is also included in the item cost.

Have I ever had an issue with an order? Yes, just the once. It was delivered to an address about 50 miles from me and stated so. To resolve the issue, aliexpress make it quite simple. Raise an issue against the order by simply clicking the button. State the reason and wait for the seller to respond, if the seller doesn’t respond in a timely manner aliexpress will refund your money. It really is that simple.

Is it safe to order from aliexpress? Yes, hundreds of orders with only one quickly resolved issue speaks for itself.

One thing I have learned from experience is that items can sometimes take a long time to arrive. However timescales are given at time of ordering. If you are in no rush for items you can save a lot of money buying from aliexpress.
