Registration for "Aliexpress"
In principle, it is not necessary to register in order to order goods on Aliexpress, but it is desirable. It is much safer, more reliable, more convenient. Moreover, to register on "Aliexpress" you only need your e-mail.
First, we press the "Register" button, you will be presented with a form with fields that must be filled in exactly in the Latin alphabet. The buyers on the site are retailers and wholesalers. Wholesalers buy for the purpose of resale. If you are not a wholesale buyer, then in the column "Which best describes" we put the mark "End Consumer", which means "end customer".

Choosing a product on "Aliexpress"
It is quite difficult for a beginner to immediately navigate the choice of goods to buy on Aliexpress. Let's start with a list of suggestions. There are a great many of them, and therefore sorting is an urgent need. We choose free shipping to Russia, then we cut off wholesalers (if, of course, you need retail goods)
You can then sort by either rating or price. Some pay attention to the number of products sold: there are also enough reviews to guide you. By the way, in the product description there is a link to reviews - Feedback.
How to order goods on "Aliexpress"
After the product is selected, it remains to be put aside in the basket, pay and order. There is another small but important nuance here: the choice of color. After all, for example, a man will not order himself a pink phone case. In some orders, this moment is taken into account and you just have to click on the square of the desired color. If there is no such option, then in the commentary to the order, necessarily in English, you must indicate the necessary.
The delivery method is also selected here.
- Free shipping -
- Delivery period -
- Processing time -
Next, click "Place Order", check the order again and proceed to payment. By the way, you can postpone the payment. You can see another product, talk to the seller. The period for reflection must also be indicated, usually up to 24 hours.
How to pay for orders on "Aliexpress"
Payment for Aliexpress offers multiple options. For Russia, Mastercard, VISA and Maestro cards are acceptable, as well as Yandex Money, Webmoney, QIWI.
We proceed to payment by clicking "Play Now". It will not be difficult to drive in the card data. After confirmation of payment - waiting. It may take 24 hours to verify your payment. Do not worry if the money was debited, and the order is still unpaid.
How to track a parcel with "Aliexpress"
The seller must first process, pack and ship the order. After the allotted time (and most often even earlier), you will receive a notification and a tracking number in order to track the parcel. The timer starts counting the Delivery Time days.
It takes a long time before the parcel reaches Russia. But a week before the end of the term, "Aliexpress" will send a notification that you must either receive the parcel or open a dispute. This point is important, and that is why it is imperative to indicate a real email address and verify it.
If the deadline is running out and there is no parcel yet, the order protection period must be extended by you. To do this, in your personal account, click Request to Extend Delivery Date and unsubscribe to the seller: Prolong delivery time, please. More often it is extended up to two weeks. If, after the expiration of the term, there is no parcel again, we write again.
If you did not wait for the parcel, and the term has expired long ago, open a dispute.
What is a dispute on "Aliexpress"
This is neither more nor less - a solution to a disputable situation. The dispute opens:
- BEFORE the expiration of the protection period, if the parcel has not arrived.
- When you receive another item.
- Upon receipt of a defective product.
Post office
Purchases with free shipping arrive via Russian Post. Having received a notification (or without it, but with a track number), you go with a passport to the post office and receive a parcel.
