Many people still do not know how to buy on AliExpress, or are afraid to do so. We will show you the purchase process from start to finish and tell you about all the accompanying nuances.

Registration and first steps

You can search for products without registering an account, but when you try to buy something, you will be asked to create a profile. It is needed to access order history, wishlists, communication with sellers, statistics.

How to register

Registration form

The corresponding button is located in the upper right corner of the site. When you click on it, the registration form opens. You need to enter your email address, first and last name, and password. You can link your Facebook account, in this case you don't have to enter your email: it will be pulled up automatically.

Personal account "My AliExpress"

After registration, you can go to your profile. Here are orders, messages, reviews, wish list, disputes and so on. At this stage, you can only add a delivery address, everything else is not needed yet.

How to add an address

To add delivery addresses, go to the item of the same name in the side menu. There can be several addresses. This is useful if you plan to send gifts to friends and family. When paying for the order, just select the one you want.

Add address form

You need to fill out the form here only in Latin. It is important. Chinese sellers do not have Cyrillic keyboards and perhaps even an encoding that displays it correctly. Everything from the name to the address must be written in transliteration.

Sellers don't care what to put on the package. But the postmen will rack their brains until they understand what you mean by Lenin avenue or boulevard of Peace.

• Receiver name- indicate the surname, name and patronymic in full.
• Street, house, flat- just write ulitsa Pobedy or pereulok Mostovoi. The post office will understand.
• Postcode- an important point. Even if you make a mistake with the address, the zip code will give the shipment where it needs to go. You can specify the index of the nearest branch.
• Phone / mobile phone- do not forget that the numbers must be entered in the international format, starting with the country code.

Product selection and purchase

Now you can go shopping. Do not rush to order the first product that comes across and chase the lowest price. First of all, there are a few nuances.

Which language to choose

AliExpress automatically includes Russian. If you wish, you can choose any other or switch to English. For convenience, it is better to leave Russian. The only time it will do more harm than good is reading the descriptions. A crooked translation can lead to such a jungle that you don't immediately understand what it is all about.

How to search

AliExpress search results

There are millions of products on AliExpress, it's easy to find the right one. It's harder to choose from thousands of search results. You can search in Russian. If there are no results or they do not suit you, try to formulate your request in English. Filters and advanced sorting functions are helpful to narrow your search.

• Price- weed out too expensive products or search in a certain price category.
• Free shipping- you can immediately filter out tricky sellers. They include some of the cost in the shipping price to make their products look cheaper.
• Only by the piece- weed out offers for wholesalers.
• 4 stars or more- do not waste time on low-quality goods.
• Sort by- choose sorting by the number of orders or the seller's rating - you won’t go wrong.
• Sending from- for popular goods there is an option to send from local warehouses, choose it if you do not want to wait long.
• Group similar items- the option should remove products of the same type from the search results, but it does not work perfectly.

For example, you need a LEGO-format mini-figure of Darth Vader. So we write in the search. We choose free shipping, piece goods and sorting by the number of orders. The required figure appears already in the fifth position in the search.

Which seller to choose

Product page with description and other details

Several sellers have these mini-figures. Which one to choose? In this particular case, you can simply choose at random, the product costs a penny. When buying expensive things, it is better not to do this. The quality of the product, its compliance with the description and whether you receive it at all depends on your choice. We open several potential options in new tabs and carefully look at the following:

• Rating- the same medals, crystals and crowns, next to which points are displayed. The rating is calculated based on positive reviews for the entire lifetime of the seller. The higher it is, the better. This is an indicator of reliability and reputation.
• Percentage of positive reviews- The percentage shows the ratio of positive customer ratings to the total number of all reviews over the past six months. Should be as close to 100% as possible.
• The number of orders- there should be a lot of them. Bad goods will not be bought. Choose the seller with the most orders for this product.
• Product evaluation- product quality on a five-point scale based on customer reviews. Products with hundreds or thousands of orders are usually rated 4–4.5 and higher.
• Reviews- this is the most important thing, you can safely start comparing with them. Carefully study what people who bought it write about the product, how they say about the seller, how long the delivery takes, and so on. Very helpful.

With a mini-figure, everything is simple: it has a minimum price and the very first seller has more than two thousand orders with an average rating of 4.7 points. You don't have to look further, take this one.

Order and payment

After searching and choosing, you need to place an order and pay for the purchase. In fact, the payment does not go through immediately, but this does not depend on us.

How to order

To order, click the "Buy Now" or "Add to Cart" button. It depends on whether you are going to proceed to checkout immediately or if you want to continue shopping and pay for all the goods together. Please indicate the size, color or model, and the number of items. Please note that prices may vary depending on color and model.

Confirmation of an order

After clicking on the buy button, you will be taken to the checkout screen. Here you can double-check all the information about the product (color, quantity), select the delivery address if you have several of them, and also leave a comment for the seller, use the discount coupon and choose the delivery method.

The standard shipping method is ordinary. For inexpensive purchases, as in our case, this does not matter. For valuable goods, you should choose a delivery method with a track number (registered). The final price will increase by $ 1.5-2, but you will be calm and will be able to track all the movements of your parcel.

What you need to know about payment

Choosing a payment method

Clicking on the "Checkout" button will switch you to the payment screen. Here you need to choose one of the proposed methods available for your country.

• Map- credit or debit. The easiest way that most people use.
• QIWI Wallet- an electronic wallet that can be easily replenished through terminals. Option for those who do not want to use maps.
• WebMoney, Yandex.Money"- electronic payment systems. A convenient option if you get money for them.

Payment is the most popular way. Do not be afraid of him: it is absolutely reliable. All your data is sent over a secure connection and is visible only to AliExpress, not to sellers. We advise you to focus on this particular option.

Which card is right

Any Visa and MasterCard cards that support Internet payments are suitable for payment. AliExpress works with rubles, so Russians pay with a regular ruble card. Residents of other CIS countries cannot avoid automatic conversion to the standard currency of the site - dollars.

To pay for the order, Internet transactions must be enabled on your card. Many banks have special internet cards, they are often designed specifically for purchases. The map can be virtual, the content is relatively inexpensive. Before paying for an item, you need to know the following details:

• Card number- those same 16 digits.
• Validity- month and year of expiration. Four numbers on the face of the card, for example 12/19.
• CVV code- a three-digit security code on the back of the card. For virtual cards, you can find it in the application or on the Internet banking website.

How to pay

Choose the "Card" payment method and proceed to filling out the form. Just enter the card number and expiration date, CVV code and owner's name.

Payment by card

Click on the "Pay now" button, your bank's page will open, where you will need to enter the transaction confirmation code (it will be sent via SMS or through a mobile application). It depends on the type of your card (you can check with the bank).

If you have not made a mistake anywhere, you will be notified that the payment was successful. The card number can be saved and linked to your AliPay account. You will not have to enter it later. This will save you time on your next purchases. But this is not necessary, you can not bind anything.

Receiving an order

The product has been selected, ordered and paid for, the most tedious thing remains - waiting for delivery. After a few weeks of waiting, the package will be at your office and you can pick it up.

How to find out the status

The seller must prepare your order, package it and ship it to you. You will be provided with a tracking number if it is covered by your chosen shipping method. AliExpress informs you about all changes in the order status using notifications by mail and in the profile on the site.

History of orders

Go to the section "All orders" and look at the status of the latest products. There may be several of them:

• Payment pending- you have confirmed, but have not paid for the order yet. After the expiry of the time allotted for payment (you can find out on the page with the product), the order is canceled.
• Payment verification- AliExpress processes and confirms the payment transaction. Usually takes up to 24 hours, but during sales it can take 2-3 days.
• Awaiting dispatch- the seller processes your order, packs it and prepares it for shipment. Usually 2-4 days, depending on the conditions, they are indicated on the product page.
• The order has been sent- your purchase has been sent to the delivery service and is already on its way to you. This takes 15 to 60 days.
• Confirmation received- you acknowledge receipt of the order.
• Completed- the deal is closed. Appears after you have confirmed receipt of the goods.

On average, delivery takes about 1–1.5 months. If you paid the seller for the track number, all this time you will be able to track where your shipment is at any given time.

Package tracking

The seller must add a tracking number to the order within three days after shipment. It will appear on the order line. Here you can view brief information on it or use third-party tracking services.

Shipment data is updated no more than once a day (or even less often). It makes sense to check your order 2-3 times a week. Once shipped, it may not be tracked for a week. Do not panic. Often, sellers assign a tracking number to a parcel in advance, while it lies in the mail for several days and waits for dispatch.

How to receive a parcel

So, the package has arrived. It can get to you in two ways: the postman will drop it into the mailbox (this is often the case with small packages), or he will bring you a notification that there is a shipment for you to receive.

More often, a notification comes and you need to go to the nearest post office for the parcel. In this case, you must take your passport and that same notice with you.

Upon receipt, carefully inspect the parcel and, if the integrity of the packaging is violated, ask for an inspection report. Even if externally everything is fine with the package or box, it will not be superfluous to check the contents right here, in the mail, and record the whole process on video. In case of misunderstanding, you will have evidence for the seller and a chance for a positive outcome of the case when it comes to a dispute.

At home, when you fully test the product, do not forget to leave a review and rate. This will help other buyers make their choice.

Guarantees and protection

Sometimes you can run into a poor-quality or damaged product, or even not receive your order at all. In such cases, AliExpress provides Buyer Protection. It provides a guarantee of compensation or a full refund in the event of a failed purchase.

How protection works

Protection is valid for a certain period. It depends on the delivery time specified by the seller and is 60 days on average. If during this time you do not receive the goods or it does not correspond to the description, you can open a dispute. After reviewing it, AliExpress will refund the money spent or provide compensation.

Detailed ordering information

You can find out the expiration date of protection in "My orders". Just click "Details" next to the desired purchase. If the protection ends, and you have not received your order, it can be extended. This is important because disputes can only be opened for orders in the "Sent" status or within 15 days of receipt.

How to open a dispute

Usually, the delivery of goods is more dependent on our mail than on the seller. If enough time has passed and there is still no parcel, you can open a dispute and request a refund.

Dispute open button

The button of the same name can be found in the order details in the "My orders" section. To open a dispute, you need to fill out a form. Indicate the details of the problem and the amount of compensation that suits you, and attach a photo. In some fields, just select ready-made options, in others, write the details.

After considering the arguments on both sides, AliExpress decides on a refund (if the goods did not arrive) or compensation (if the wrong size, model or poor quality product was sent). This takes anywhere from two weeks to two months. Most often, the administration of the trading platform takes the buyer's side.

China, where you can find almost any product - from paper clips to large TVs. Considering that many brands are made or made in China, this is not surprising. Let's figure out not only how to order on aliexpress, but also how to get a quality product for your money.

Aliexpress platform review - pros and cons

Let's first see what they can offer us here. There are not very many product categories, but they can include up to 100,000 items. The main categories of requests are:

• Clothes and accessories
• Car products
• Electronics
• Bags and shoes
• Everything for children
• Jewelry and watches
• health and beauty
• Sports and entertainment
• For home and garden

Most likely, the product you need will be found in one of them. Calculate the pros and cons before ordering on aliexpress.

The undoubted advantages when ordering for aliexpress, in addition to a wide variety of products offered, include:

• Quite low prices. You buy goods directly, bypassing intermediaries, so you avoid mind-blowing markups.

• Ability to follow discounts and promotions. By adding the product you like to the cart, you will constantly receive notifications by mail about price changes.

• Possibility of free delivery. Of course, everyone understands that it is initially included in the price, but at the sight of an attractive price, the mark "Free shipping" is very pleasing to the eye.

• Protection of the transaction. The risk of losing money is reduced to almost zero. In the process of ordering on aliexpress, you do not pay directly to the seller, but through the Escrow system. The seller receives money only after you receive the goods and confirm the end of the transaction.

Of course, with all the positive aspects, ordering on aliexpress is not without its drawbacks. Although there are not so many of them:

• This is an English-language site. No, the Russian version, of course, is present, but it is “Chinese Russian”, which is often simply impossible to understand. And if you need to contact the seller, you can do it only in English.

• Free shipping means long travel times. On average, delivery takes up to 3 weeks, although there are delays. However, if you need it faster, you can choose courier delivery, which will cost more.

Order for aliexpress - product search and the nuances associated with it

The easiest way is to search for some kind of electronics on the site - you can enter a specific model and select what you need. Although at the same time the search will also give out a lot of accessories to it, which will interfere.

Finding clothes is both simple and difficult at the same time. The selection criteria are quite extensive here, you can make an accurate filter. There are only a few "buts":

• Not all suppliers have a size chart with measurements. Therefore, it is rather difficult to be guided by the indicated size.

• Even the indicated measurements are often incorrect or only approximate. Keep in mind that Chinese clothing is shamelessly small. Therefore, if you need sizes larger than our 48, you can fly. It is recommended to contact the seller and clarify the nuances.

• The price of the same product from different sellers can be strikingly different. This does not always mean that others are driving up the price. This can often speak of quality. The picture will be the same, but the quality of a very cheap product will correspond to its price. Reviews to help you.

Another nuance when ordering for aliexpress: pay attention to the number of items in the lot. Sometimes little things are sold only in lots - 10, 12 or more pieces. And an attractive price will be only if the entire quantity is purchased. Convenient for those who buy in bulk for resale, but not always suitable for those who need a unit. So, look for another seller from whom this product can be purchased one piece at a time.

Aliexpress order - basic steps

Ordering for aliexpress begins with registration, creating your account. The procedure is standard, it will not cause problems for anyone.

In the search bar, enter the desired product. If you do not know the name of this or that thing (some device that is not widespread among us, for example), look for the category you need, and then focus on the pictures. If necessary, enable the filter by selecting the required parameters.

Having found a suitable product, read carefully the description and terms of sale. If there are several sellers, choose the one with the highest rating.

Be sure to read reviews for both the seller and the product. Don't rush to the lowest price. Although sometimes the quality is the same everywhere.

If you have any additional questions, be sure to contact the seller. It is better to find out all the nuances before buying.

After placing the product in the cart, proceed to checkout. The simple interface will not confuse anything. Make sure your card is open for online payments.

After payment, the seller is obliged to send the goods within two to three days and provide you with a tracking number. You just have to wait for its arrival and confirm its receipt by closing the deal.

Ordering for aliexpress - receiving a marriage or the wrong product

As mentioned above, the seller receives money only after confirming receipt of the goods. If you opened the parcel and found that due to poor-quality packaging, the goods are damaged or they are initially defective, or they did not send what you ordered, you can open a dispute.

This must be done within 5 days. The seller is obliged to accept or reject the dispute within the same time frame. If he did not do this, the dispute is resolved in favor of the buyer, and the money is returned to him.

How to order on aliexpress - tip

Once the seller has acknowledged your claim, when ordering on AliExpress, you agree on the method of compensation - a refund or sending a new product.

If no agreement has been reached, there are several options:

• Within three days, the buyer can transfer the Dispute to the status of a Claim, then the case is considered by AliExpress employees.
• If the Dispute is not resolved within 15 days, it automatically goes into the category of the Claim, which is considered by the site staff.

Have you decided to return the item to the seller? Then it is your responsibility to notify him of the shipment by providing a tracking number. You didn't? The money goes to the seller. The seller, in turn, must within 10 days put a mark on receipt of the return. Otherwise, the money will be automatically returned to you. The seller can also open a dispute if it turns out that you sent him the wrong product that was sent to you.

An order for aliexpress in the status "frozen" - what does it mean

If you suddenly find such a status with your order, do not panic. Read the status comment carefully. Typically, it is: “This vendor has recently been identified as engaging in unsafe trading activities. To protect your trading activity, we decided to check this order. Please be patient and wait for our further instructions. "

As it becomes clear from the commentary, when ordering on AliExpress, the site administration tries to protect the buyer from unscrupulous sellers. As soon as suspicious activity of the seller is noticed, they begin to check him. This can take up to a week.

If everything is in order with the seller, he himself tries to provide evidence of the "purity" of his actions. You just have to wait a little. If the check fails, you can always find another seller.

As you can see, there are no particular difficulties when ordering from AliExpress. But there are a lot of positive aspects. Of course, do not forget that online shopping is a lottery, and the picture does not always correspond to reality. Seeing a thing on a model, think carefully about whether it will sit on you in the same way, so as not to be disappointed. We wish you a pleasant and varied shopping experience.

Should I order phones or other equipment from Aliexpress? Is it generally safe to order something from this site? Such questions drive into a dead end almost every newbie who is going to order a brand new smartphone from Aliexpress, which turned out to be here several times cheaper than in a regular electronics store. And this question is logical: I buy a rather expensive item from abroad, it will have to go around half the world, where are the guarantees of safety? Naturally, sales consultants will give you the desired model by issuing the necessary guarantees. Here are just hundreds of thousands of orders for Aliexpress say that users are ready to give up the guarantees of popular electronics sales points in favor of online purchases.

Today we will tell you, beginners, why you should not be afraid to order mobile phones, smartphones and other equipment on Aliexpress. We will also share recommendations on what to do when the smartphone has not arrived or has been damaged. Let's go in order.

Phones with Aliexpress: is the low price worth the wait

Aliexpress has become a loyal companion for many shopping lovers. In its vastness, you can find anything you want, from stickers on the refrigerator to TVs. No other store can offer such a huge selection of goods.

In fact, Aliexpress is more of a large international market (however, Chinese sellers rule), where different sellers can offer the same product. On the one hand, this is good (you, like in the regular market, can look at the offers, choose the one that is more preferable for you). On the other hand, it is difficult for beginners to navigate the abundance of the same product from different stores. We will talk about how to choose the right seller of phones on Aliexpress, place an order and track the parcel a little later.

Today, many people hear about Aliexpress, it is advertised by famous bloggers, TV channels, magazines. Therefore, the number of users is only growing day by day. Someone orders small trinkets without risking buying expensive goods. Others have been ordering phones, tablets and other electronics on Aliexpress for years, saving a lot of money.

And now we come to the first reason, which tells us, they say, it is worth ordering phones on Aliexpress. Her name is big, no, huge choice.

Phones with Aliexpress are cheap

It's no secret that on AliExpress, prices are almost all lower than in regular stores. This also includes mobile phones. The reason electronics prices are so low is simple: sellers send you goods at a price that's roughly the same for their market. Sellers do not wind up the same huge percentage as the electronics stores we are used to. Quite often the price of the same phone, which lures you in the same Euroset, can be twice as high as the price of the same model on Aliexpress. Not weak, right?

But a case and a film will not interfere, so that the phone does not lose its attractiveness in the first week of use. So? For the film and its sticker, some well-known stores will require 500 rubles, or even more. A phone from Aliexpress will come to you not only with a glued film, but also with a spare one, and the seller will not regret the cover and a couple of other bonuses. And already, look, we have saved about 1000 rubles on accessories.

Aliexpress is very fond of conducting all sorts of sales, almost every day you can find goods with a discount. Their goal is simple: to retain old and attract new customers. Yes, quite often such discounts are artificial (the price rises in advance, and then, supposedly, is underestimated, but with the right approach, you can get real benefit. And now you saved a couple of hundred rubles on ordering a phone from Aliexpress.

What about cashback? You probably haven't heard of this thing? In general, these are special services that return some percentage of purchases. Why would I get paid just like that? These services just pay for the fact that you make purchases (this is also work). When using cashback, you go to the product page using a special link, which the service uses to attract customers. For these same buyers he is paid interest, but you do not remain in flight either. To stimulate you to continue ordering using cashback, the service shares a percentage.

Today, cashback for popular services reaches about 10% (when ordering a phone from Aliexpress, this figure is reduced to 5%). That is, they bought the phone they liked, for example, for 10,000 rubles, they got 500 rubles back. All this really works, large services (EPN, Mega Bonus, and so on) do not cheat.

A few more hundred more with cashback service and now a very appetizing price for the phone is already looming. No electronics store will offer you a similar price tag even close.

So, another reason why it is worth buying smartphones on Aliexpress is much cheaper.

Smartphones with Aliexpress - safe

Any major service cares about its reputation. I think you understand that AliExpress is not just a large, but the largest platform. She values ​​her customers, and in order to attract new ones, she needs positive feedback on purchases of phones or other things from Aliexpress. The most efficient way to get them is by selling quality products.

It is not so easy to become a seller on this site. The administration does not recruit just anyone. To open your own store on Aliexpress to sell smartphones, you will have to pay a fee of several thousand dollars (about $ 6,000) annually. The amount is rather big, and what is even more interesting, it is not refundable if the store is blocked by the administration. Reasons for blocking? Dissatisfaction of buyers who complain about poor quality of goods or their discrepancy.

What do we get? It's risky for a serious store to send you a broken phone. Several such violations can lead to blocking. And, you see, I don't want to lose an already promoted store on Aliexpress with a bunch of positive reviews. Of course, no one is immune from marriage. Don't regular electronics stores ever sell defective goods? Yes, this happens all the time, because it is difficult to identify every small detail. Similar incidents happen on Aliexpress - by accident, and sometimes not.

You should not raise a panic if you received a phone from Aliexpress, which, for example, does not correspond to the declared characteristics of the amount of memory. Record everything on video, take a couple of photos, screenshots, with the help of a translator (Google, Yandex) in English, describe the essence of the problem. In most cases, the seller will quickly offer a way out (compensate for the damage or offer to send back the smartphone, and he will send a new one). Large stores value their reputation. Doesn't make contact? We are filing a complaint. As a rule, the administration takes the side of the buyer, compensating for the damage (there are cases when the full cost of the phone is returned, although it is generally operational). Naturally, this will not in the best way affect the seller's reputation.

From all of the above, we can decide: it is quite safe to buy phones on Aliexpress. Do not think that every Chinese seller is trying to cheat you and sell you a bad product, and support does absolutely nothing. There are, of course, cases, but most of them are successfully resolved for the buyer.

Phones on Aliexpress - a painful wait

When the phone is ordered and sent by the seller from Aliexpress, waiting for his arrival begins. He has a long way to go. Just the same along the way, dangers can await him. Which?

• The smartphone may be damaged. With the sloppy work of the valiant customs, a brand new smartphone bought on Aliexpress can get defects. Cases are not uncommon, but the problem is solvable. Firstly, you can not pick up the parcel from the post office if traces of damage are clearly visible on it. You send her back to her homeland, opening a dispute. The money is returned. Secondly, it is not uncommon for the buyer to see damage only to the house after the autopsy. Here the situation is more complicated. My phone does not work with Aliexpress, what should I do? You are required to take a photo and video of the damaged product, attach it to the dispute. The proceedings can take a long time, but often the buyer gets money back (or part of it).
• Phone with Aliexpress can get lost... Also, quite common cases when a package is lost along the way. So it went on and on and disappeared. Don't panic. When the end of the buyer's protection comes up, we simply open a dispute, in which we indicate, in fact, that we did not receive the parcel. The evidence will be the track code, which will show where your order got stuck without arriving. The money will be returned in full.

Interestingly, after the order was closed and the money returned, some users still received their phones from Aliexpress. Whether to pay the seller or not is on your conscience.

• The phone from Aliexpress was stolen. Unfortunately, such situations are not uncommon. As a rule, rather expensive models are taken out of the parcels, and the buyer, furious to the whole world, receives a box with some thing that is approximately comparable in weight. An unpleasant situation that may not be resolved in favor of the buyer. Again, if upon receipt at the post office you see that the parcel has been opened or damaged, ask to open it in the presence of a service worker (it is advisable to record everything on video). If inside you do not find the ordered device or find something else, you have the right to draw up an act according to which you must compensate for the damage, and the postal service will conduct a departmental check (probably).

Of course, it gets worse when you find yourself at home that instead of a phone from Aliexpress, a chocolate bar arrived. Filming unboxes on video - this often becomes the trump card. Record in one take so that you can see the track code with the delivery address. However, even if there is no video, do not give up: write to the seller, file a complaint at the post office, consult users on the forums who have already got into this unpleasant situation. Many sellers go to contact, offsetting the costs (although, in the vast majority of cases, sellers have nothing to do with it).

So, in the process of delivery, the phone from Aliexpress is exposed to maximum danger, there are cases of loss, damage or theft. However, there are no hopeless situations - videotape your unpacks, do not sign mail notices until you are sure the package is intact. If there are traces of an autopsy or damage, do not hesitate to demand an autopsy from the employees of the postal service in front of them - you paid your money for the phone, I think, not easily earned.

Do the disadvantages of buying a phone on Aliexpress outweigh the advantages?

Of course not. Incidents do happen, and this cannot be denied, but in most cases they are solvable, and their number is decreasing every year. It is not in vain that Aliexpress introduces various methods of customer protection that will save your money, and most importantly, your nerves. Definitely, it is worth ordering phones on Aliexpress, especially if you have the opportunity to wait until it gets to you. Here, as they say, you just have to try - you will not notice how you will buy smartphones on AliExpress at a discount to your relatives, friends, of course, yourself. And learn to solve the problems that arise in the process. Well, the wait, you see, is worth saving several thousand rubles.

Every smoker will confirm that it is very difficult without a high-quality and convenient lighter. If earlier people used matches instead of this device, today not a single smoking person can do without it. Moreover, the lighter serves as a stylish accessory, therefore, users approach its choice very delicately. It is easy to find a good device on the popular Aliexpress trading platform, but first you need to familiarize yourself with the features of its purchase.

Not everyone knows that Ali often faces difficulties in acquiring a lighter, since this device is considered flammable and, as a result, a dangerous device that may not pass customs at the border.

In addition, many products are additionally equipped with a flashlight, a ring so that they can be hung on a bunch of keys, as well as a USB connector. On Ali, the selection of these devices is huge and very diverse.

There are many different lighters on this site, which differ in type, material, subtleties of use, price, etc. In order not to be mistaken in the choice, it is recommended to watch a video showing which are the best lighters sold on Ali.

Hello, friends! Today, you can hardly surprise anyone with purchases in foreign online stores. The number of shoppers who prefer online shopping and the number of products purchased online are growing day by day.

And this is confirmed by the figures of a joint survey conducted by Yandex.Market and the research company GfK: in 2014, out of the total number of surveyed buyers, 50% made an order in a foreign online store at least once (in 2013, the number of such buyers was 36%).

Chinese online stores are especially popular among Russians. For many reasons. And recently, this trend has been intensifying due to fluctuations in the exchange rate and the rise in prices for European goods.

Most often, we buy on Aliexpress, the most popular and convenient Chinese trading platform, where the choice of all kinds of goods is simply huge, and the right to trade is given to different sellers, of whom there are also a lot.

On Aliexpress, we buy a lot of all sorts of things: small household and electronic appliances, computers, tablets, phones and related products, clothes and shoes. And all this can be bought much cheaper than, say, in a store around the corner. In addition, this is an opportunity to purchase things that are not on sale in our stores.

At the same time, Aliexpress has a huge assortment of goods for every taste, inexpensive or free delivery, a customer protection program, cashback, the opportunity to participate in promotions, use various bonuses and coupons. It is easy and quick to place and order the product you like, and the free time is pleasant to spend with friends and family.

Shopping for is a real pleasure. And making budget purchases is also beneficial for the family budget.

And yet you can't do without a fly in the ointment ...

With all the advantages, such purchases also have their disadvantages: long delivery times, certain risks and fears of being deceived. And the buyer also needs to know about them.

Of course, people must be trusted. However, it may happen that you are unlucky, and it is you who stumble upon a not very honest seller or outright scammer. And this is a loss of money and a loss of faith that you can buy something on such sites.

Types of fraud on Aliexpress

There are several of the most common types of scams.

For example, a buyer, instead of a paid product, receives only partial compensation for it. This option is possible if you succumb to the promises of free shipping and a very low price of the product. The essence of this fraud is that the seller, using all sorts of tricks, does not send the goods at all, but only partially returns to the buyer the funds spent on his order.

The second way to deceive a customer is to change the name of the product and the content of the page on which it is presented. As a result, you can easily buy something different from what you ordered. This trick is sometimes used when ordering phones and other gadgets, when, instead of the ordered model, the buyer receives a completely different one. Such misinformation misleads the buyer. Therefore, it is recommended to carefully study the product page, reviews of the purchase of this product, description.

Another type of fraud that newcomers to online trading on Aliexpress very often come across is unrealistically cheap things and just crazy discounts. From time to time, shops appear that practically give their goods. Agree, it is very difficult to pass by the 95-98% discount. And many, not thinking that the seller has neither reviews nor ratings, begin to actively buy such a product. In fact, no one is going to send anything to the buyer.

And what is the use of such a purchase at a low price for a buyer if the paid product is never delivered, and moreover, it will take time and nerves to open a dispute and wait for a refund? But why do the sellers need it if the money will still be returned to the client in case of an open dispute? Without going into the intricacies of this fraud, I will say that there is a "winding up" of the sales history of the goods and for the new buyer an illusion is created that the goods are in demand.

How can you avoid these troubles and not be deceived?

Many of us like the idea of ​​buying something cheaper abroad. But not everyone runs the risk of doing it. Very often you can hear that a poor-quality product was sent, or not at all, or not at all what you ordered. And I really don't want to feel cheated by a newbie. Well, if, nevertheless, such a situation happened, something went wrong with the order, or did it disappear somewhere or came with a marriage? How to be in such a situation?

On Aliexpress, any purchase has a certain order protection period. The money paid for the goods is on the account of the trading platform, and the seller does not have access to them for a certain time (he can only receive them upon confirmation of the order or the expiration of the protection period, which must be monitored). And the buyer, in case of any problems with the order, has the right to open a dispute with the seller. In this case, you are protected in the dispute.

How to do this in detail, how to start the procedure for opening and conducting a dispute, can be found on the website of the Aliexpress trading platform on the Buyer Protection page. It is important to understand here that any questions about refunds need to be dealt with only within the framework of a dispute on Aliexpress and in accordance with its buyer protection program. This guarantees a money back in most cases.

You should not give in to the seller's suggestions to resolve the issue not through a dispute, but in any other way (for example, through a refund to your PayPal account, which, in principle, is impossible for technical reasons). These are the tricks of cunning and unscrupulous sellers who are not going to return anything to you or in fact do not know that this is impossible to do. And you completely assume all the risks in dealing with the seller outside the Aliexpress trading platform.

Do not forget the very popular phrase that "free cheese is only in a mousetrap." And hardly any of the sellers intends to sell their goods at a loss. Suspiciously low prices, unrealistic delivery conditions, lack of reviews should be alarming. Therefore, it is necessary to use the opportunity to return money without any compromises, opening a dispute in a timely manner.

Buying from a foreign online store may at first be intimidating to newbies. But, according to experienced buyers, you only need to overcome your fear once. This process is so fascinating, addictive and, of course, profitable that, as a rule, it overcomes all fears and doubts. In addition, it is becoming easier to buy abroad, because online commerce is improving and becoming more technological. An increasing number of buyers are paying by card.

And one more good news - despite the proposed changes, the duty-free threshold for online purchases until 2016 remained unchanged - 1000 €. This means that according to the current rules, without paying a duty, you can receive parcels from abroad weighing up to 31 kilograms per month and up to 1000 €. If the limit is exceeded, the duty will be 30%, but not less than 4 € / kg.

We wish you beneficial purchases and an exciting journey into the world of overseas online shopping. Until then ...
