How to Return an Item Purchased on AliExpress

We hope it never happens, but it is possible that something will go wrong with your AliExpress order. The item you get may be missing components, inoperable, or otherwise faulty. You may receive the incorrect item or your order may not arrive at all.

Fortunately, AliExpress recognizes that mistakes may occur from time to time, and they've set up a procedure to assist you in working with sellers to achieve a reasonable agreement for returning, replacing, or refunding an item. 

This blog will teach you all you need to know about how it works and how to utilize it.

What is the return policy on AliExpress?

AliExpress sellers normally have their own return policies, so you'll have to communicate with them directly to arrange returns, replacements, or refunds. 

If you are unable to reach a deal with a seller, you can request that AliExpress intervene, and they will make a decision based on the information supplied.

Information about AliExpress returns, replacements, and refunds

The return policy for a specific seller on AliExpress may be found on the information page for every item in their store.

If you have an issue with one of your AliExpress orders, the first thing you should do is contact the seller (or sellers) who sold you the item(s) in question. Try to establish an agreement with them on a sensible solution, and then go from there. 

If you cannot reach an agreement, you may initiate a disagreement with that seller (or sellers), which AliExpress will mediate and, if required, resolve.

Your time limit for filing a grievance with an AliExpress seller begins six days after the seller ships (or was scheduled to ship) your purchase or goods. 

The period for filing a claim varies according to the delivery method you choose for your transaction.

Returning Items on AliExpress

To return an item to an AliExpress seller, first, contact the seller and figure out the terms of your return, replacement, and/or refund.

If you can't come to an agreement, contact AliExpress and let them make the final decision. Simply apply the appropriate postage to your order and drop it off at a post office.
