Can I trust Aliexpress?
I, like most people, want one of those hands free Segway things that have taken over the Internet. They're called phunkee ducks or io hawks or something. Anyway, when you buy them from those companies they cost 1500 dollars, but I've heard from videos that if you go to this website you buy them directly from China for around 350 dollars. Have you ever purchased something from aliexpress, and did you get what you ordered and was it not a scam? thanks!
Does anyone buy things on AliExpress?
I've been using Aliexpress since July. I've been purchasing twice a month, each time from different suppliers. I buy from whomever has the best price at the time I purchase.Whenever I look to make a purchase I always check off "Assurance Plus" in the advanced search filters. This filters out the "scammers", for lack of a better catch-all word. Secondly, I look for the number of orders the supplier has fulfilled for the specific product I am looking at. It's more of a social proof filter - the more other people buy, the more likely it's a quality product/quality supplier.Third, I look for a supplier that has been in business on Aliexpress for at least 2-3 years.Lastly, I always chat with the supplier and inform them of the order I am about to purchase:ex. Hello, I am going to purchase 10 pieces, which comes out to $X including shipping. Is this the correct price for that amount?The legit (at least from my experience) suppliers will confirm, and at that point I will continue to ask whatever questions I have as usual. The "scammers" will confirm but encourage you to pay outside of Aliexpress at a reduced price to you as it saves them from paying a percentage to Aliexpress. Not only does Aliexpress make it clear all over their site to watch out for this, but also encourages you to report these suppliers.Because of the language barrier I have learned to ensure to be extremely specific in my questions and requests. At least from my experience, if you don't specifically ask for something, you will not get. Nothing is assumed. I know it seems like common sense, and it is, but it's funny how quickly we can get into the habit of expecting a predictable outcome. Be specific, clear, and short. No fancy words, no long sentences, and no need to explain your reasoning - just simple and to the point. Overall, I love using Aliexpress. I've started an importing business that requires me to simply respond to a few emails a week and make some deliveries and in just 3.5 months it's generating enough income to cover 60% of my fixed monthly living expenses.
How do I know if an AliExpress seller is someone I can trust?
After you have found the items you want to buy from Aliexpress, the next thing you should do is to check the reliability and trustworthiness of the seller you aim to buy from.Click the link of the item you wish to buy, from that page you can see on the top the store’s name, its year of operation, and its ratings.

These icons are the representation of the seller’s reliability and longevity of operation. For every positive rating by customer, the seller gets +1 Point; every neutral rating, the seller gets 0 Point; whereas every negative rating, the seller gets -1 Point. Here is the equivalence of the icons (or feedback level):Another valuable information you can make use of are the customer’s feedback. Read real customer ratings and feedback and view images attached if there’s any to check the quality and reliability of the service of your prospective seller. And it is important for you to check also Seller Guarantees as when the product you received is not as described, you can ask for a full refund, or the seller guarantees on-time delivery which means you can ask for a full refund if you do not receive your purchase within 60 days.There are a lot of products in Aliexpress that might not have a customer feedback yet. If that’s the case, you can visit it’s Seller Feedback Page to check its detailed seller ratings, feedback history, and buyer’s actual feedback for similar products in its store’s catalog. You can also contact the seller directly to ask your queries.

Should I trust Alibaba and AliExpress?
Yes! The biography Website of the founder and owner of AliExpress and Alibaba Group - Jack Ma (CEO).Aliexpress is just like eBay but it is Chinese. Alibaba is the same but they generally want you to buy products in bulk.I use Aliexpress all the time.I recommend you do these things before purchasing:-Check the sellers feedback (should be 97% or higher)-Choose ePacket (quicker shipping)-Check return policy and message the seller with a question to see if they respond-Make sure that the item has at least 10 orders and check the item reviews on the page (average should be at least 4 stars)If you don't get the item or it is not as described then you can just open a dispute and you will usually get a refund.

Ebay vs Aliexpress vs dhgate?
It depends on the seller that you buy from. Always look at the reviews as they will show if its a trusted seller or not. In my experience ebay has been better because I get cheap items and I get them fast whereas ali always takes a while. I have never shopped on dhgate but I'm guessing its like ali.
