My China Bargain : Review of first time shopping at Aliexpress

Dear Steemians,

Today I want to share on my recent online shopping experience at Aliexpress. It is basically like ebay. I have been eyeing on a few items online for a while, so I wassuper excited to find cheaper alternatives in aliexpress.

WEBSITE : https://www.aliexpress.com/

As a new user, I get a coupon code.

I use cashback website, which also has aliexpress.

I highly recommend to use any cashback website, if you like to shop online. I use shopback for all my online transaction .If you are not familar with cashback program, let me know in the comment, I will write a post here in steemit. Basically I have been using all my travel booking/flight booking/other online shopping and although the return is not so much each time, it add up and able to save the money.

Here is the link that you can sign up, which give you $5 after your first purchase

Ok let start on the shopping experience:

This is my first time shopping at aliexpress , I used to do a lot of online shopping a few years ago but got it under control because I really want to save money to travel and also some of the quality aren't good and end up at not using them.

So Why again ? As I have been eyeing on some really cute dresses and I can't justify spending a lot of money on ASOS, which is also one of my usual online shopping website, but just like any online shopping it is also hit and miss .

Payment

There are a few payment modes supported, I used VISA.

Shipment

Depend on the seller and product of the item, a lot of stores that I made a purchase do offer free shipping or with a few dollars for shipping charges. It takes around 10 days to 2 weeks, but it really depend on where your country is as the product is orgianlly from China. I got one item in a week , which I think its pretty fast for free shipping.

They do offer international shipping which I also think is awesome.

Tips on buying

Always double check for store review, feedback score and the amount of past order by other buyer.

Read more review from other buyer for the product quality. Though a lot of seller provides many good pictures, still you need to double check the real review to increase your satisfaction, right?

My thoughts

AliExpress has almost everything So far the product quality is good for the price . I don't feel so guilty of spending less money on the dress that I know I would be wearing for a few times only. If you do a little double check for the review, you can check several photos posted by the buyers.You definitely can get good and quite decent stuffs.

The customer service seems to care whether you are happy with the purchase. And they also have AliExpress mobile application which has a a lot of deals and I have to admit I am back to being addicted with online shopping. Can't top going through them whenever I have free time at work.

My purchase

This is how it look on the model from AliExpress

This is how it look when I wear it( the Color look very much the same)

I didn't love the material very much, some of the sewing threads are here and there tbut for occasional wears, it is totally fine personally.

Would I buy again from AliExpress?

Definitely yes
