Online shopping is becoming more and more popular. It is convenient and often beneficial. The Aliexpress website is no exception, it has an audience of thousands, most of which become regular customers. However, an order on this site can be a lottery for you, and not always a winning one.
To begin with, there are a lot of sellers on Aliexpress, and at least three have each product name. Therefore, if you are not satisfied with the price, quality or delivery terms, then you can find an alternative option in the form of another seller.
Sellers
There is a store behind each of the sellers. The name of the store can be found in the pop-up window under the product line or on the product page at the top right, by clicking on it, you can go to the store page. There you can also find all the information about him, his reputation and the number of orders.
Store reputation
On this site there is a certain ranking of store-sellers. This status is indicated next to the store name and looks like medals, diamonds and crowns. One medal is considered the smallest one; the status increases with the number of medals. After earning 5 medals, the store receives one diamond and also up to five, then a crown is awarded. The maximum grade is 5 crowns. All of these virtual rewards are based on order counts and positive product reviews.
Testimonials
The product page contains not only its description and characteristics, but also reviews from buyers who have already received their product. These reviews are from people from different countries and in different languages, but mainly in English. If knowledge of this language is minimal or absent, you can use an online translator.
Payment and delivery
On the Aliexpress website there are several options for transport companies and each seller has its own delivery terms, or rather, its own cost. Personally, I only place an order with free shipping, there are a lot of such offers here.
You must pay for your purchase at the time of ordering, for that there are many options: payment by cards of various types (Visa, Master cards), Web Money, etc. This payment remains in limbo, thanks to a special system. The seller will receive payment only at the time of order confirmation, that is, after the customer has received and verified the conformity of the parcel.
Based on the above, we draw conclusions.
How to place the correct order
- You need to choose a seller who has at least one diamond, ideally, if he has a crown. The rest may also be good, but often the same product from sellers of different quality. Let others experiment, the result is important to us.
- View reviews for this product. There you can find out a lot of useful things: nuances with dimensions or compliance with quality.
- Focus on the number of orders from the store, of course it does not always work, but in conjunction with other aspects it is effective.
- Never pay for an order directly to the seller to the account, only through the website! In this case, no one will ever return the money to you, here the site administration is powerless.
- If all reasonable delivery times are out, open a dispute, write comments in reviews. Sellers take great care of their reputation and are afraid of bad reviews.
- Never confirm an order if you haven't received it, no matter how the seller begs or promises. After confirmation, one can only hope for the seller's good faith, but it is often not justified.
Happy shopping.
