I want to share my experience with AliExpress to guide others. If your order arrives without issues—correct product, no damage, and it makes it past PTT Kargo—then you’re fine. But if your item is damaged, faulty, or not what you ordered, that’s when the real nightmare begins. AliExpress's so-called "Buyer Protection System" is practically useless. Resolving disputes or reaching agreements is nearly impossible.
For example, a seller has been stalling me for 20 days, repeatedly marking the order as shipped without actual movement. I tried to cancel the order, but the system wouldn’t allow it. I started a dispute, and for 10 days now, it’s been "under review." They even requested evidence from me despite having all the details in their system! I uploaded proof showing no shipment activity, but they keep delaying.
If you receive a damaged or incorrect product, it gets worse. The seller typically insists on a return, knowing full well that return shipping from our country is expensive and impractical. Taxes paid, original shipping costs, and return fees all go to waste. Even if you manage to secure a refund without returning the item, you’ll only get a fraction back—₺400-₺500 for a ₺1500 product.
After my last two frustrating experiences, I’m done with AliExpress. Their minor savings aren’t worth the stress and losses. Think carefully before shopping here—you may end up with nothing but frustration.
I ordered a product from AliExpress, but it turned out to be too small. When I tried to return it, the seller refused the return outright. Since I no longer needed the item, I proceeded with a return under the “no longer needed” option. That’s when the real trouble began. The return tracking code t...
I placed an order on AliExpress for shoes, a jacket, and a shirt. The delivery was promised for June 5 or 6, but my package didn’t arrive until June 10. That delay was just the beginning of the problem. When the items finally arrived, I was shocked at how cheap and low-quality they were. Nothing lo...
Aliexpress is no longer a reliable platform for service. They are now sending broken or defective items, and when you open a dispute, there's no one to address the issue. Even if Aliexpress acknowledges the seller's mistake, they refuse to refund the full amount, excluding shipping and tax fees. I p...
I just bought something on AliExpress and paid the customs tax. However, my order is stuck at customs, and I have to pay customs duty again. Even though I asked AliExpress for help, they don't seem interested in fixing the problem. They won't cancel my order, give me my money back, or even pay the c...
On July 27th, I placed an order on AliExpress (Order No: 3024290172381052), and to my surprise, there was no customs inspection as promised. Concerned, I immediately contacted both the seller and AliExpress, explaining that I needed to return the product because of this problem. However, AliExpress ...
