aliexpress 4$ OFF on purchase of 20$ or more..

Attention guys:
Just got $4 off on $24 coupon from Aliexpress app (new user account made long back)

→ So those who cant wait, can also try it out.
Else $4 on $20 is in the pipeline.

Here is my review of Aliexpress:
“You are safe till the time you keep Aliexpress seller in chat loop. Never agree to pay through Western Union/Direct payment and use Alipay gateway only”.

Even reputed sellers send wrong items (low cost ones) but agree for part refund quickly and full refund reluctantly if you promise positive rating.

Shipping wise choose China Registered Post Air mail if possible or China Small packet plus (though not trackable after leaving China) since these are faster and more reliable.

Dont go for Singapore Post OM Pro at any cost. They are unpredictable.

For tracking visit : www 17track dot net

→ I would say it is safer to buy from Aliexpress than from eBay India !

Guys someone pls tell how to make payment on aliexpress? I does not have any internation transaction activated debit card yet and also did not want to get it activated.
Any other way to pay to aliexpress and any charges for currency conversion? If i activate internation transaction on my card, then bank charged something extra for that transaction?

Does not do any internatioal transaction yet. So, no idea. Pls guide.

Nada… I just wait for the right price

Btw, I bought this which I actually needed
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Slimport-MyDP-t...

Don’t buy unless you are 100% sure, bought few items, worked for sometime or partially worked. Highly thumbs down.

How much did u expect custom duty? 50% is normal on electronics.

Can u suggest a mobile or any noteworthy item(underRs10K) as my friend is returning from China in Oct’16.
Also can u pls mention what u bought or wish2buy.
I will try.

usually it is 30%….
Avoid mobiles…
There are many things which u can buy like Android tv box, car accessories , camera accessories, go pro clones and many more…. if u are into music then there are tons of earphone/earbuds/headphones available…

Try to get minix neo Z83-4 mini pc box which would cost around 170-200$
or u can also get cheap android box like x96 which is around 30$

Never buy from Aliexpress guys. Most likely you are going to be cheated by fraud Chinese sellers

there are things which needs to be taken into consideration before you make a purchase on Aliexpress
1) most imp… check seller ratings
2) check seller feedbacks
3) Check the shipping method (avoid Seller’s shipping method)

If you dont receive your product or if it is damaged by any means then make sure you raise a dispute before the purchase protection ends…
Aliexpress offers the best purchase protection and there is no match to the wide variety of product categories offered….

About the customs and stuff…it depends on many factors like value quoted by the seller, type of product, Shipping method and also LUCK

For mobiles and other high price stuff it is purely luck… sometimes u will be charged customs or it will be missed…

For low cost products like below 50$ u probably wont be charged any customs

I have bought many products and never faced any issues till now

For those who are new to these sites I found a nice guide
http://andrewminalto.com/alibaba-scam-ex...d/

I think I have 50+ orders. Here are few tips
Sort based on Number of Orders, and if the seller has lot of feedbacks, atleast 1000+ you’re good to go.
Most of the sellers ship with China Registered or Ordinary Post. Customs will be attracted based on the size of the package and seller declared customs information.
Look for Sizing chart in item description, if you’re ordering clothing
Most of the sellers provide you discount $1/$2 off depending on item price as you save on shipping cost. Message them.
Never order electronics or any other stuffs which comes to contact with your body or which you consume. You don’t know what’s wrong. They have counterfeit products and genuine products, so all it matters is price and seller. There are expections like your MI store selling camera and few but not the batteries and phones.
You get what you pay for, the same item be marked cheaper with another seller but you never know the quality. So do a research and I would suggest you to go with reputed ones.
Most of the items are cheaper or at par with price in India after coupons and savings, so not such a deal breaker.
Read the feedbacks and read them before ordering. They’re your only last mile resort to know what you’re buying.
Never ever transact outside of AliExpress. And you get Purchase Protection which is like escrow. You pay aliexpress, aliexpress keeps money, you confirm to aliexpress the item is received, aliexpress releases money to seller. So if there is an issue, message seller FIRST about the issue and then open a dispute. Never confirm item received before using it, you’ll recieve a notification an email before the purchase protection runs out.

Good luck and bye!

I was thinking to buy a watch but the names are putting me off, I mean log dekh ke bolenge chinese maal hai

You’ve much better deals with Amazon. They’re no name companies or Chinese houses. Some are really promising for what you pay $20 isnt much to experiment, try your luck.

And if the seller has very good reputation don’t hesitate. Many replica like parnis are decent but remember, watch is a status symbol.
