The most common mistakes when you shopping at AliExpress
Error # 1: You are not following the protection period for your order
The protection period is mainly for the buyer to be sure that the goods will be delivered and the goods will be of the required quality. The standard length of the protection period by Aliexpress is 60 days. However, sellers are often attracted to shorter delivery times, so their order is shorter. The problem is that if you do not follow the protection period, the expiration date expires and you do not have the goods, the order is automatically closed, it is delivered and trouble-free, and on this basis AliExpress sends money to the seller.
What to do? If the withdrawal period is nearing completion and you have not received the goods, ask the seller to extend the withdrawal period. If it does not respond, open a dispute.
Error # 2: You confirm the receipt of the item when you do not have it.
Here it is important to know what you are clicking on and what you confirm. Aliexpress asks if you really want to confirm that you have received the goods in good order. When you acknowledge receipt of goods you have not yet received, then you can only pray that the goods will be fine. Once you have confirmed your order, you have no chance to complain about the shipment.
What to do? You really watch where you click and confirm. You can lose money due to negligence.
Error # 3: Do not check the final price before payment.
When making an order, at the end, it is always necessary to check if the price matches, and if the price of any item has not changed, or if you have not overcharged the shipping fee. If you check it out the next day, it’s usually too late because the goods are already shipped.
What to do? Be careful, carefully check how much you pay for the goods, so do not bother to blame yourself for your sloppy mistake.
Error # 4: You are not careful when unpacking the shipment
You are looking forward to the package from China that has finally arrived and you will be ready to open the package. Open the package and find out that you have received something else, or that there is only one piece instead of two, and so on. How do you prove you have not received a complete shipment? You need proof.
What to do? It’s always a good idea to take a picture of each package before you open it and making a video of opening the package. As a proof of any dispute, it works well.
