I used it many times. It's pretty save. If you don't get your item after 90 days you can contact the store you have ordered from. If they don't reply you can file a despute and Aliexpress will refund your money. Always look at the rating of a store. The higher the better. To find the rating once you are looking at an item scroll down a bit and then in the left sidebar you will find it.

SirLionelNigelConrad is right about the quality. It could be if you buy something real cheap the quality is also less.

Also because most stores offer free shipping or cheap shipping it could take up to 90 days to get your item. So if you are looking for super fast shipping Aliexpress is not the place.



glad to see all of these positive comments! will def buy a few items and see how it goes~

SirLionelNigelConrad:
It's pretty safe. Ali Express is the little brother of Ali Baba. Of traditional lore, Ali Baba was a carpenter who discovered a thieves den filled with riches and opened the secret door by saying "open sesame!" The joke being there is a lot of great stuff there.

Ali Baba is a wholesaler that connects manufacturing to retailers. If you want to buy 10000 plastic bins, Ali Baba is your place to be. If you want to buy 1 plastic bin, you go to Ali Express. You could say it's the more consumer end.

As always you are dealing with not just a store but a retail front end. You take a risk in the quality of product you may get. Think of it like buying on eBay.

Always remember the golden rule of commerce: you get what you pay for.


oh this is really in depth, thank you! I’m willing to take some risks if the item is sh*t quality but I just want to make sure it’ll actually show up lol

Welcome to Voltra! ^-^

From what I understand -- if you open an art shop and sell art for Volts/Ohms/items, you are allowed to have a link to an area where you do RLC commissions (such as DeviantArt), but that can't be your only option - you must also have art for sale / trade with Voltra currency and items. It's always best to err on the side of caution though, so you could maybe add a link to your profile? c:

Hope you enjoy your stay here!



please ping me if you need my attention! || be excellent to each other ♥


Yay! That works will prob open a shop soon <3

Hey welcome to voltra :)
Best way to earn currency? Depends i guess
Mostly would be from posting..
Also dont forget to claim the daily chance.. Its the moving airship in the front page
Selling art would be also a good way to get lots of currency




The chance boat thingy won’t let me click on it. But it looks like I’ll be posting more c:
Ah I do art! But does the site allow rlc commissions?
Posted in Has anyone used AliExpress Posted 5 years ago
There’s a lot of cute items I wanna buy! But I’m a bit suspicious since they don’t take PayPal
