How to buy on AliExpress: TOP 7 Tips.
One of the most popular Chinese marketplaces is AliExpress. On the eve of Singles Day in China (the largest sale on November 11), PaySpace Magazine has prepared some tips on how to buy goods on this platform and not be disappointed.

Tips on how to shop on AliExpress

Tip # 1 - shop with friends​

The new service of joint purchases will save not only you, but also your friends. After paying for the purchase on the site, you will receive a referral link, which you can share with your friends. If, within 24 hours, a second user makes a purchase using your link, both of you will receive a product with a discount, which can be up to 50%.

Tip # 2 - make sure the seller is reliable​

The easiest way to buy on AliExpress is to find a reliable seller - sort the results by the number of orders and choose a supplier from the top five. However, there are a few more indicators that should not be overlooked:

Positive reviews - the more, the better. For expensive items (for example, smartphones), the indicator should be above 96%. Don't limit yourself to numbers. In the "Reviews" section, buyers usually write about their impressions after using the product. They can be very informative.

Assortment - if the store opened just a couple of weeks ago, and there are several items in the catalog - look for another supplier.

Seller rating - indicated by numbers, medals, crystals and other marks. To get one crystal, the seller needs at least 500 positive ratings (4 or 5 points).

When you receive the goods, do not forget to rate the seller. Your review may be useful to other buyers.

Tip # 3 - check the quality of the product​

Special services will help you evaluate the quality of the goods, even from a distance. In addition to reviews on AliExpress, shoppers often share product impressions and photos on iTao, YouTube, and social media. Often real reviews do not match the stated characteristics, so do not neglect this point.

Tip # 4 - bargain with the seller​

Despite the fact that the prices on the site are already quite low, do not forget to ask the merchant for additional discounts or bonuses. He may refuse, but, as you know, they don’t take money for demand.

If you are not used to bargaining, talk to the seller. This is not just a sign of courtesy, but also a guarantee that you will be satisfied with your order. You can contact the store by e-mail or directly through the product page to clarify availability, order picking time in the warehouse and other details.

Tip # 5 - Arrange delivery profitably​

Ukrainians, when placing orders in Chinese online stores, are faced with a problem - it is not clear which postal operator and on what conditions will be engaged in the delivery of the parcel across the territory of Ukraine. PaySpace Magazine has prepared instructions for you on how to receive a parcel from China to Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta or Meest Express - read more in the material.

Tip # 6 - Don't order multiple items at once​

Despite the best efforts of logistics operators, parcels continue to be lost and damaged in transit. Therefore, if you ordered several goods at once, it will be doubly offensive in the event of the disappearance or damage of the cargo. In addition, delays at the border may occur.

Tip # 7 - Play it safe again​

After receiving the package, do not rush to remove the packaging. If there is something wrong with the product, then you will not prove it to the seller. So ask someone to film the process. This will prove you are right. If there is really something wrong with the package - do not rush to write a complaint to AliExpress. Please try to solve the problem with the seller first. Chances are good that he will meet halfway so as not to spoil his rating.

Enjoy the shopping!
