5/5Long time user review
I have been incredibly active on AliExpress for over four years now. I buy hundreds of things on there per year. Understandably there is a lot of misconceptions of the app being similar to SHEIN, but it is not. Majority of the shops on AliExpress are small businesses. It’s easy to find handmade and original items, this includes stickers, keychains, home goods, clothing, etc.. This app has done nothing but improve dramatically over the last years. The feed of the app used to be pretty difficult to navigate, and the shipping options weren’t the best, neither were the prices. The quality of the products also was not as good. Overtime they’ve updated the app to be incredibly user friendly. My home feed is incredible and changes to what I’m searching for rather quickly. The shipping updates are incredibly thorough, and easy to track. Choice shipping has made this easier, although shipping times are still always very delayed for me. Even past a month. Refunds are given quickly if an item isn’t shipped in the time it is supposed to, but getting refunded on an item that you didn’t receive can prove difficult. Being an active member on AliExpress, you’d hope that you’d be heard more when you claim your package didn’t arrive, which happens once in a while. But unfortunately you only receive the refund about half of the time. Although this is an individual seller problem, it is a problem from AliExpress customer service as well. I can’t wait to see the further improvements, I will always stay loyal to this app!

5/5This Is The Source
I used to use another app to purchase a host of items but specifically for clothes (lingerie) for my significant other. While looking for a unique style outfit at a better price then what I found it for at a major primary Internet Retailer I stumbled upon this App. Not only did multiple stores offer it for significantly less then anyplace else, by accident while browsing the app I came across various items and gear that I could use for work. I immediately downloaded the app and purchased some Cutting Edge Tech items for work at 1/3 of the price point I was paying from my primary sources. It was the same brands, the same product, the same quality devices. They installed the same and we were able to have direct contact with the manufacturer!! It was a game changer for my company. At the price here I ended up with three units instead of one units. I eventually was able to outfit all of my company vehicles with the Same Thermal Imaging Systems. By doing this I was able to gain an advantage during our escort convoys and it has without a doubt saved lives in the long run by giving them better situational awareness and the ability to spot potential trouble ahead take initiative and control, turn the element of surprise and or avoid issues. Best App I every found and I use it weekly for all kinds of purchase activities from Aardvarks to Zebras type can find it all here at game changing prices.

5/5Making it easier to shop
I really like the AliExpress shopping app. I think it’s probably the best shopping app on the planet right now. I have ordered over a hundred things off this app and never had an issue with it freezing up or reloading while I’m in the middle of making a payment . I also noticed that I was able to update my payment information via the app. Before like last year whenever I purchased something and especially if I went thru the Ebates site first when I choose to continue to AliExpress and then my cart to pay for stuff I always had to enter in my card info everytime I purchased from different vendors, it was annoying. Recently I say around Nov or Dec 2018 I was able to update my card info on the app and it saved it so now it just makes shopping and purchasing stuff easy breezy. And when it comes to getting refunded money when you don’t receive an item I haven’t had a issue if it was within the timeframe. I ordered a phone case that doubled as a game and I knew it was gonna fake a month to get to me so I didn’t track it like that. But after that month I realized I had a few days before the time expired on when I could make a complaint. I spoke to the seller and they assured me that it would reach me. Unfortunately it never did and I couldn’t get my money back because time ran out. You really have to use better judgment/common sense on this site to make it work for you. Like I said I really like this site. I mainly order accessories. And usually always get them and they look exactly like the picture.

5/5Well, I really think about the AliExpress app
I really like this app because I really like AliExpress. When using a smart phone you always want to be using the app because it’s so, so much easier. I know some people are afraid of purchasing from AliExpress and also from that other competing company, but the good far outweighs any bad. Usually, there is no bad. They also have a free return policy within 15 days I believe. I’m about to give that one a shot. While I have your attention. I’d like to tell you to think about getting a nice magnet and if you buy something with the stamp S925 on it and it doesn’t cling for life on the magnet, then it’s good. It’s the real deal. I was sold a 925 sterling silver necklace with the stamp and everything. That magnet sucked it right up. So that’s getting returned and refunded. One thing I do wish is that AliExpress would take something like this seriously and give a seller three chances and then they’re booted out. Just my opinion. Have a good day. Oh one other important thing. Sterling silver is not 100% sterling silver because it’s a soft metal. So depending on the little bits of other metals they use and it’s just a little bit, but depending on which metals they use that necklace might be a “tiny” bit attracted to a magnet. But it doesn’t attach itself like an octopus grabbing his prey. It just leans a little bit towards the magnet. The magnet is really good and the necklace is lightweight. It might stick to it slightly. You know the difference easily. Ciao.

5/5Goods and the bad...
I’ve been here for some months now with over 30 orders and I must say, I’m experiencing new errors with deliveries more often. AliExpress is an amazing marketplace with many store to choose from all with great prices and merchandise. One thing that isn’t fair, we are left alone as consumers and or customers to debate with the stores/sellers about any discrepancies in our purchases or deliveries. It’s very frustrating waiting days for a response from after sales techs and response teams. Most issues with purchases and deliveries come from bad communication between (site and seller,I assume). Ex: my last 2 orders have been split up and sent to different states! 1 was delivered to Louisiana and 2 was delivered to California. Now I’ve been waiting for 2 days for a response from both sellers. They post that you normally get a response within 24hrs but that hasn’t been true in many of my endeavors while using the app chat to communicate with the after sales reps. I wish there was a way to contact AliExpress instead of the sellers when this happens. Although compensation can be very costly,I do believe we as consumers deserve more for our loss. Our time and attention is money! We choose to spend it with you because we appreciate you and all that you provided and I’m just looking for the same in return. THANK YOU ALIEXPRESS FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION... PS. I’ll still be here spending but I’m also very concerned about the attention we as consumers are (not) getting from your sellers/stores.

The offers are reasonable but the app is very annoying with ads. It even lets itself be opened by other apps and websites without permission. And if you turn off Marketing notifications it will still serve them through another notification channel sometimes several times a day. Even T*obao doesn't do this.
