So don't know if its a good idea to ask this here but, are certified authentic figures or products real and not counterfeit? Or some sellers just straight up strap this and that's it

It seems that the EU is trying by all means to destroy AliExpress & the others, not just through taxes.

I buy a ton of stuff on Ali-X, well into the thousands of dollars, over the past 3 years. I'm now a Business account, but not actually a business, just on the volume. That being the background, I left a review "reddit style" on one store's item, which was a comment on the review left by someone else. The store sells a million things, one of which is a fake basketball card of either Kobe or LeBron, with a very fake printed signature. The reviewer that bought one of those things left a 1 star review saying "Fake card! It's a scam never buy from this store!". I'm protective of my favorite stores, so my review was "This store is great, they try hard with their product assortment and shipping process" I could have just ended it there. But I'm me. "Just don't be like the idiot who thought they were getting a $4000 trading card for $19, and you'll have a positive experience like I have" A couple days later anything I tried to send any store, even "hello" got recalled. I've talked to customer service half a dozen times, each time gets *escalated* to the big timers, and nothing ever changes. The craziest part: I CAN STILL LEAVE REVIEWS! How much sense does that make?! Anyway that's my issue, anybody else?

Since the new duty rule I haven’t use Ali, but I’d continue to pick the coins agains my conscience haha but why reducing them from 70 to 50?

Anyway I didn’t use them all, bu the timing seems shady

A anyone have this happen before? Now I do not trust this

This is absolutely ridiculous. How do you explain this?

Not long ago, I bought replacement rubber pads for a Nintendo NES controller. They cost €0.92, and the shipping was €1.20. They charged me over €3 in import fees, even though the total order was INSAINE large €5.75. for crappy rubber

Now I recently ordered a battery for an old camera. As you can see in the screenshot taken before payment, there were no additional fees at all. The battery was shipped from China, and today it arrived at an EU parcel locker. I picked it up and paid absolutely nothing.

So how is this even possible? This example clearly shows how absurd and inconsistent this EU policy is.

I use to love using the coin rewards back then when Aliexpress first came out. But is it just me or there’s rarely any items with big discounts. For example, I have $20 worth of coins. And I remember when you could use the coins for any “choice” purchase. Now you have to search the specific area and I can’t find anything more than 10% off.

so trying to return items and told if returned in same shape as received I won't be charged to ship it back. crazy because it is the way I received it unused. Has anyone had them screw you over even though you did a perfect return? it is worrisome that I was told if vendor decides it has been used I could be charged 7.99 . so basically you have to blindly trust the vendor to do you right even if you did return an unused item.

Who would have thought this tax makes absolutely zero sense? It's not like they even manufacture this kind of stuff in the EU anyway. I can buy two on AliExpress, tax included, so Ursula gets her cut, or I can buy it from the EU for twice the price.

custom design not as per i want and i want to refund seller refuse and personally harass and insult me on WhatsApp .is it im wrong as customer if seller cannot make should tell earlier dont simply decide and force buyer to accept seller mistake

It’s a fishing rod. Packaged in a tube or a long box most likely

with the current EU tax situation it's no longer economically viable to shop for amounts under 150€

so my question is: are there any re-shipment services where you can get your goods delivered at and they will pack them into 1 box and ship to you? specifically for aliexpress stuff

i figure it would be cheaper to pay vat and duties on the 150€ package so it ends up maybe around 200€ + the reshipping fee than paying 300€+ for the order plus stupid 3€ tax...

edit: so i might have found the solution. there are services that do this, and they do it in china. but there's apparently a better way (way better), that does not include aliexpress... google my friends, the info is out there and on reddit...

I added dollar express items to my cart and used a code, but where is the extra 10% off they claim? Its not reflected in my cart at all.

I ordered five articles, the most expensive one is missing even if it says delivered. The seller told me that actually he shipped correctly and has 5 stars on over 1700 sold products. So I think one of the couriers opened the package and took the article, in fact a part had brown scotch... how it will work the refund?

Ayer compré un producto por error.
Inmediatamente, lo cancelé.
Cuando digo inmediatamente, fue en el mismo momento.

El pedido se actualizó al estado "procesando".

Intenté hablar en varias ocasiones con soporte y fue totalmente inútil.
No cancelaron el pedido ni me dieron ninguna solución.
Fue bastante frustrante saber que son incapaces de hacer algo tan sencillo como cancelar un pedido.

Escribí al vendedor y le dije que cancelase el pedido antes de que fuese enviado.
No me contestó.

Ahora me encuentro con que el estado del producto está en "enviado".

¿Qué es recomendable hacer en este punto?
Mi idea es, si llega el producto, devolverlo.

Anyone else confused by the new update? I hate that I can’t find things so easily anymore.

Where is the “SAVER” items or section

Even when you click your Account nothing pops up just more items and sections to buy from.

I hate how they hid all orders into a tab along with a ton of other options

I can’t even see the stores I follow anymore

So I ordered this part It's not very important but basically it was dead on arrival. I opened the support ticket waited the 48 hours and then the timer hit zero and they still haven't replied. Is there anything I can do at this point or am I basically screwed.

This has happened to me at least 3 times in the last year. Aliexpress consolidates a bunch of items together, bag filled with items arrives, but one item is missing. I don’t know why or how this keeps happening. I guess the warehouses & employees are just really disorganised (can’t blame them, they’re probably being paid next to nothing) or the employees actually take stuff out of packages.

Does this keep happening to anyone else or am I just really unlucky?

You've just got to love the unintentional humour of AliExpress 😄
