I Rejected Courier From AliExpress. Will I get Refund?

I highly recommend you to raise dispute asap asking full refund. I don’t think you would get refund automatically.

For refund first it should get back to seller which i highly doubt after reading IP hands

Should I tell them the truth about me rejecting the courier because of customs or just ask for refund because “I did not received the product yet?”

Yes

If IndiaPost / Customs Dept. not send it back to china, I guess I’m screwed? I thought “buyer’s protection” would protect me..

Buying something from abroad

Always told seller mark the item as gift

And always show value less than 20$

Otherwise you will always face customs issues

You are screwed either ways as the status will now be marked as “Rejected by buyer”

I think buyer protection is only when you don’t get the product at all or u get a defective item

Yes that’s true

Bro, just raise the dispute as early as possible, that step makes sure your money is safe. While raising dispute select option custom is holding the package and in comments section mention actual reason that the custom duty is high its sellers mistake he declared very high price or say very low price which is not actual price. Then in messages ask the seller to repay custom duty if he agrees then well and good if he isn’t let the AliExpress took decision.
Indian post never send parcel back, you will never get refund automatically. So visit your nearest post office and pay custom duties and took parcel. Use wise words while registering dispute. Took photographs of shipping label, actual parcel label, invoice if any and most importantly custom receipt, those will act as evidences while opening dispute

So there is no hope? I can’t kiss a good bye to 4K. That is way too much money to loose..

Then just visit post office, take pics of your parcel and custom receipts and open the dispute. Ask postman to keep parcel …tell them you will take it within 4-5 days….

I told the post man to send it back. That is 10 or 15 days ago. I doubt they still have the product holding in my local post office.

@2020 is the shipping method trackable or not?

It was trackable before. The status was “Held by customs.” That is the last status I’ve seen. IndiaPost tracking is nowhere to be found. I don’t even know their tracking ID.

i ordered 1 product from aliexpress, it came to my local post office it was lying there for 7 days then they sent the parcelback to seller (to singapore) then seller asked me to order again at no cost.

so there is full hope to you to get refund or replacement

Thank you for letting us know.

Did the seller contacted you on his own or you had to raise a dispute?

you can either raise a dispute stating product still not delivered or ask seller to extend the Buyer protection !!. you can also send seller request.

once the period is over you have no chance of any refund

i was obviously in contact with seller…

Firstly, I checked with foreign post office, they told me that parcel came back to them from local post office and they have dispatched parcel back to singapore.

I made this known to seller, then seller asked me to wait till he receives product

After that as I wanted product and not refund, he asked me to make order with payment fail then asked me to provide order number and changed the price of that order to $0.01 then i made payment and the parcel i received in 8 to 10 days

Indian custom

So I should not tell the seller about this whole Customs and rejection thing?

You could’ve sent back the product for customs reevaluation

Bro to the best of my knowledge. You have two options Either tell the truth to the seller and else you have to be selfish.but on the prioirty you should raise the dispute with full refund.
Firstly just like someone above told that raise the dispute,tell the seller everything blame him to declaring exact value for your stuff and let Ali express decide.I believe to save the Indian custom fee is not the motto of the Ali express..no where mentioned in thier T&C.I’m 100% sure Aliexpress management is value customers more than seller.I have some experiences with Aliexpress and they really value customers..but it’s assumption that they will give your refund.. On the other hand As you said if the final status is “Held by customs” then you not need to worry just raise the dispute with full refund….and ask seller that till now it’s with the custom..I’m sure you have not tag it as the gift. Also if you want that stuff. ..make/give your first offer that send me new item and tag it as gift.

If I tell him I rejected the parcel, Am I still eligible for refund if the package goes missing on its way back?

What was Shipping Method Ordinary Post Or Registered Post?

I’m not sure. But I remember paying extra for “trackable shipment” and also paid extra for Buyer Protection.

Don’t tell aliexpress that you rejected due to custom charges, tell them that you have not received the parcel and the courier status showing false

No. Paying customs duty is your duty. Seller is no way responsible for that. And when you have rejected and the parcel is sent back who will pay the return shipping? Why should the seller bear return shipping charge for a fault which is not his. From my experience I’m 90% sure you’ll NOT get refund from Aliexpress in this case.

Got Refund or not ? Update it ?

I had ordered 2 sjcam batteries. It was registered parcel, but no tracking info once it left customs. First time facing this issue.
Product was of 1600rs. Dont think ill get it now.
