Goods returned according to a dispute decision. No money refund & postal fee compensation.
A product "Hoodies Women Streetwear" ordered from OEIN Dropshipping Store at AliExpress.com platform under the number [protected] for the price of €23,83 on 22.01.2023 (Invoice no: NL011032023012200022082 from 22.01.2023).
The order was received safely on 14.02.2023, but it didn't match the seller's description.
On 18.02.2023 at 23:18 CET, I opened a dispute at AliExpress regarding this.
On 19.02.2023 at 14:07 CET AliExpress confirmed the nonconformity of the product received and, without any negotiation, it made a unilateral decision, - I quote: "Return goods, full refund 23.83 EUR (seller pays the return shipping fee)".
Nevertheless, this solution involves 1) obtaining a return postal address from the seller; 2) agreeing with the seller on the minimum postage costs for the return (in this case €21,25); 3) Submitting the shipment track & trace number to AliExpress within next 10 days.
From my correspomdance with the seller became clear that he/she didn't like the Aliexpress decision, because on one hand he was not interested in refunding my purchase (and offered me €5 compensation for closing the case) and, on other hand, he/she didn't want to pay any postal fee which was almost of the same amount as the product price.
This is why the seller took his/her time in responding and clearly waited until my time frame set by AliExpress for the return shipment, expires.
AliExpress closed the dispute on 1.3.2023 at 14:07 CET with the following comment: "Your return is closed as you didn't provide the return tracking details timely. You may contact the seller directly to negotiate."
My return shipment was posted on 1.3.2023 at 14:24 CET.
For your information: In 2001 The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), working closely with the EU Commission and the CPC Network, has obtained EU-wide commitments from AliExpress to ensure that their practices as well as those of its traders respect EU consumer law which e.o. included: 1) Right of withdrawal – Under EU law, consumers have the right to cancel a distance sales contract within 14 days after having received the good and without providing a reason; 2) Legal guarantee – In the EU, sellers are liable to consumers for any lack of conformity of a good with the contract that becomes apparent during a period of 2 years from delivery.
But in practice this still was not incorporated in Aliexpress procedures, working protocols and it's internet site tools. Simply speaking, it does not work at all for their customers.
Nevertheless, providing the terms of EU legislation regarding buyer's right to a minimum 2-year legal conformity guarantee from the seller, confirmed by AliExpress/Alibaba Singapore Terms and Conditions for platform transactions by EU/EEA/UK Consumers, I deemed it nessary to return the goods at any time within this legitimate warranty period.
(This Terms and Conditions nowdays reads: "Your main EU/EEA/UK statutory rights include, among others, (i) withdrawal rights within 14 days; (ii) minimum 2-year legal conformity guarantee right; and (iii) the right to terminate the contract if the seller fails to deliver the goods within the additional period of time appropriate to the circumstances after the initial delivery term.")
My appeal to AliExpress decision from 01.03.2023 was rejected on 02.03.2023 ("Your appeal request was closed. As per AliExpress policy, you must return the item and fill in the tracking details within the specified time in your request.")
According to track & trace RT106073485NL information, my return package was delivered against receipt to the seller on 16.03.2023.
Further negotiations with the seller regarding the order refund and postal fees compensation, which lasted until 25.03.2023, did not lead to anything, since he/she constantly pretended hearing about my request for the first time and changed his point of view. In the end, the seller informed me that I should deal with my problem by contacting Aliexpress (being perfectly aware that this was technically impossivle). Well, he/she can be understood, because the seller received both my money for the sale and even the goods back.
When I tryed to apply for VAT refund on returned goods via AliExpress bot, my request was a few times rejected since the order was marked as finished.
So, my total damage now is €45,08. And I can't any guarantees that the same won't happen in the future.
Contacting AliExpress and getting any assistance is completely impossible. They do everything they can to avoid contact with customers.
Furthermore, in case of dissatisfaction with AliExpress determination a customer may apply to Hong Kong Arbitration Center (“HKIAC”) for arbitration (AliExpress Transaction Services Agreement for EU consumers, art. 10.3). The only problem is that a minimum fee for such appeal is above €3.000.
So, this is how I understood that the famous AliExpress "buyer protection program" finally turned into a seller/AliExpress protection program, and all attempts by the EU to extend its customer protection rules to Aliexpress trade have, in fact, failed so far.
Desired outcome: Full refund of returned goods and postal fees of a total amount of € 45,08.

We need the seller to compensate us the price difference. The seller refused to send us the item it was $87.94 when we ordered. Now the item price when up to $180.92. Please credit us back the price difference of $92.98. The item was not sold out. They jack up the price and decided not to send us the item. How can they do that in ALiexpress. I need Aliexpress to look into the problem an issue us the credit of $92.98. Thanks

Shengmilo mx-025 ebike
REFERENCE: Aliexpress [protected] - Shengmilo Mx-025 ebike
I purchased a Shengmilo Mx-025 ebike from Aliexpress. At the point of purchase I paid £1123.37.
So in the first few weeks of purchasing, there was issues so I opened a dispute. ThE seller sent replacement parts for faulty parts and i paid 200 pounds for the replacement because i took the parts to a bike store to get it replaced as they refused to send a tutorial video on how to do it. The seller was angry about this however, they reimbursed me my 200 pounds. Also during the dispute, they assured me that there is a warranty for any more faulty parts and it was valid for 6 months (this was in December). I cancelled the dispute and they were happy. In the month of January the brake(which had been replaced once before) failed while i was coming down a slope and i lost control of the bike resulting in slamming myself against a wall. This resulted in a few very minor injuries and a broken Led screen of the bike. The battery however was still functioning. Some days ago (in the month of February) I checked the battery and it wasn’t functioning. I contacted the seller and he put forward a solution “replacement of the battery board which requires me to take apart the battery which puts me at risk of a fire explosion and therefore a safety hazard. I informed the seller about this and there is clearly a warning on the battery that says do not disassemble however the seller said “Yes. Disregard that” which is basically asking me to risk my life. He is offering only to fix a component of the battery that requires me to take it apart. I have referred this to aliexpress on several occasions and they seem to take his side and refuse to understand the risk. They have also refused even with proof to acknowledge that the brakes are faulty. If this doesn’t work, I’ll have to other choice but to contact my solicitor to sue the company for selling products that endanger the life of a consumer and also asking a consumer to risk their life due to their own negligence . I have uploaded videos of the faulty parts and the led screen damaged due to the accident caused by the damage brakes
Please contact me at [protected]@gmail.com as all evidence failed to upload and i can send them via email
Desired outcome: Full replacement of faulty products and those damaged by seller’s negligence

I have paid for and received the above order from INKERSKI. The item is defective and I contacted the seller to report it is defective. I requested a Refund throug Paypal and Inkerski have now frozen the account on this transaction. I am left with a faulty device and less the £25.55. The supplier has been forwarded the video of the faulty device, but no action has been taken to replace the faulty item. I cannot return the item as the cost of a tracked service exceeds the cost of the item.
This is the worst transaction from a Chinese company I have ever made and it will deter me from dealing with incompetent Chinese suppliers again in the future.
Desired outcome: Full refund of the transaction. I will put the faulty device in the waste bin where it belongs.

Wireless ear buds ordered from 3c home store
Dear sir,
I have ordered a pair of wireless ear buds from 3C Home Store via AliExpress.
I have not yet received my order and it can't be tracked down as it is under economy shipping. It only shows delivering and is not delivered yet and it's been more than 80 days since I have ordered the product. Kindly guide me in this regard as to what I can do.
Easttop lucky 13 power bender harmonica
Submitted two separate orders for a PowerBender harmonica at the following web site:
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802641761748.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.375a1802WBiyOa&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US
For both orders, I received the wrong model harmonica: Bass Blues.
AliExpress refused to acknowledge that they had made these errors and denied my request for a Return & Exchange for the correct product.
Fortunately, I paid using PayPay. So, if AkliExpress remains unresoponsive. I hope to at least get my payment refunded.
My impression is that AliExpress order and dispute processing is entirely automated. As a result, when their ordering system is programmed to order the wrong item, you'll have little hope of resolving the problem using theirlow-IQ AI problem resolutions system. For example, their is no option offered for "Wrong item received". It's a real nightmare dealing with this automated vendor. They are like the vending machine where your ordered item gets stuck no matter how hard you shake it.
Desired outcome: Delivery of ordered productc or complete refund.
Missing parts
i have 2 company's who i purchased tecnics lego cars. my wife brought them for a Christmas gift and wanted to surprise me . she had issues from day one from both these sellers. she had a few words with them slightly justified the way these sellers treated this sales. but my wife told me that she had purchased these items and that they were incomplete as at first they were meant to sending the missing parts. after she wasent getting anywere i spoke and took over so i read the messages and i could see why my wife was frustrated , anyway i then informed them that i was now dealing with this issue. despite many many messages im still waiting and m=not Evan knowing if they are sending these parts i she spent nearly £300 and this is not acceptable . i tried to ask AliExpress but they jst waved all favor's to the seller they evan when i opened a dispute first favorer one car to a refund and i return the other then they changed this. so i aggreged to return only for the seller to say few days before they will send parts so i closed case and now they have simply duped me and its being a roller coaster ride. i can not simply allow them to not keep my funds if they don't send the missing parts AliExpress have not helped . infarct AliExpress need to relook at how they manage returns dispute 15 days and then its near impossible to contact them i believe they block you as i have another account and i can contact them so if they allow seller to do this why on earth buy from this site. i would like to know were i stand as to open a legal route weather i take AliExpress to a small claims court or the buyer but will AliExpress give me the company's full details
Desired outcome: i just want a refund i tried to resolve this but nothing but empty lies and promises
Buyer protection is rigged and biased (bad)
I bought a radar sensor for my car. I received it in 12/2022 between Christmas and New Years. It was impossible to have the part installed until the repair shop had their first available appointment on 2023-01-13.
The sensor appeared to be defective/broken, cannot be used, and I wasted 55 EUR on this work.
"Conveniently", the product dispute period had expired almost a week before that. Aliexpress gives a very short dispute period for expensive items, and a lot longer period for cheap trinkets. The seller did not cooperate. Now I'm stuck with a piece of garbage and lost over 200 EUR to this. PayPal is not working either, I will likely avoid using PayPal in the future as well.
Then there's this "return" issue. Their typical solution is "return the item for a refund", but they must know that returning tends to cost more than the item's own price! Return a $50 item, pay $65 for shipping to receive a $50 refund? Absurd.
I will not buy anything worth over 20-30 USD from Aliexpress again. It's too risky, and they don't help at all if there's a problem.
It has happened to me before, in 2020, a $1500 item that was not as described, Aliexpress did not cooperate at all, they sided with the seller, but back then I was able to get it sorted via my credit card company.
Desired outcome: Is it even possible to refund this? At least make the dispute periods unbiased and fair. Right now it's completely rigged and unsafe.

Customer service agents
I have contacted various customer Agents with Aliexpress since Noemember last year. I have screen shot all their replied which either not updated or empty promises. Today 30.1.2023 it take 16 screenshots and now they created an automatically cut me out,
Report ID: [protected]

Some agents keep trying to tell me it was refunded. But why partial refunded. I have not receive the items at all
One Agent even asked me for email but failed to come back to me after 3 weeks. Today I contact again with 4 agents. I even asked to escalated to higher authority and was put to Sabrina. I was not satisfied with her answer and she asked it I wanted to speak to manager. "My answer is someone who really can sloved my problem" They disconnect me
Desired outcome: Proved of DeliveryI have not received anything at all

This order as from your record is shipped as one parcel, shown by your department in chinese as delievered. How could you refunded me 2 items and not the other one item.
It either delivered or not deliver. Half delivered ?
Agent give standard format assurance and even asked my my email with a promise to come back to me.
Nothing Happened
today I spoken to 4 agents and asked them to escalate me to higher authority twice. A lady by the name of Sabrina attended to me without knowing the past communication. I had to told her it partially refunded. But why? I inisisted to go higher not just promised as this is the 4th times I raised same issuses.
I was asked to hold on. Less than 1 minutes a message" Because you didn't respond customer service for a long time...system automatically ended the session" that not truth . I screenshot her message asking me to wait a minute and the next moment it was taker over by computer
Also previous Agent give me they claimed to be Vietnam local shipper to contact but the number is not a working number. I repeatdly asked various agent in blak and white to asked shipper to contact my hotel as I don't soeak Vietnamese. No respond to it.
These agents keep sent standard assurances messages and refuse to really look into the matter.
After that I was unable to chat with Agents This is truthly the first class hanky panky
