This month's AliExpress coupons that apply on "Selected Items" only. This time the coupon discounts are different and the lowest minimum spend is now US$50. Alternatively if the products have the Tech Event banner then you can use these coupons where the minimum spend is US$40.

Unfortunately the only way to check if a product is "Selected" is by trying to apply the coupon. If the product didn't work last month then there's a good chance it won't work this month. It can also take a couple of days for sellers to make their products eligible with these codes.

    Is there anything we should avoid buying from aliexpress due to fake/poor quality? Eg electronics or batteries?

    • +2

      There really isn't many fakes or clones around on AliExpress. They've cracked down a lot in recent years. If you're unsure of anything I can tell you if it's legit or not.

      Best to avoid sellers with less than 95% feedback though.

      • Do you have any suggestions or tips if you buying things like face masks or rechargeable batteries?

        • Don't buy face masks they're a banned product on AliExpress. What sort of batteries are you after?

          • @Clear: Wait, face masks are banned? Seriously? I was searching for some before and there are a lot of "CE FFP2 KN95 5 layer" face masks?

            I'm mainly looking for AAA rechargeable batteries. i already have 32 eneloop pros but i require more batteries, for things like sensor lights, and buying eneloop pros are kind of expensive when you require over 50 batteries.

            • +1

              @OzBoganYeah: Face masks are supposed to be banned from AliExpress but I guess they haven't done a crackdown recently. Can't say for certain if any of those are properly certified or not.

              PKCELL and Palo batteries are pretty popular around Ali. I have no experience with them but I know LiitoKala is reliable.

      I always do a search & sort by clicking on - orders. This way you can see what has sold the most in any product you're interested in.

      • That doesn't even work for me now :/

        Doesn't actually sort it by most orders first. I have no idea what order it shows the results in when I click on that

    • -2

      Just beware that there's no real buyer protection.
      If you get sent an incorrect/damaged item you'll have to wear the return postage in order to get any resolution (usually more then the product is worth)

      • Resolution is definitely getting worse. I look for items that have free returns. Make sure you have Paypal returns activated.

      • +4

        That's not true at all, at least not for me. If an Item arrives damaged or a piece missing, I just take some pictures and ask for a refund and they give it right away.
        Been buying monthly from them for more than 10 years now and never had any real issue where I didn't get my money back or anything. But again, in 10 years I think I only had to ask for refunds around 10 or so times.

      • Protect yourself with your credit card company and don't listen to the seller when they ask you to retract your dispute case.

        Recently I purchased a $500 car head unit, and it came broken. Communicated with the seller, and after not receiving a satisfactory resolution, I went to 28 degrees to have it resolved. After some to and fro, I won the case.

    • Airpods Max's.

      Batteries are battery packs are generally rubbish. Battery packs for small consumer devices or cameras for example.

      The capacity is usually overstated, the cells are usually the cheapest they can get or recycled. It's a nightmare trying to lodge a dispute.

      The moment you do a teardown of a pack or attach proper load testing for a review the orders just stop and not long after the ad is deleted and rebirthed as a new listing under that sellers shop. All feedback is gone and the cycle continues.

      Feedback is still under the sellers shop, but its not as easy to find.

      • They will just delete it? I want aware they could even do that. I appreciate the detailed reply.

        • +1

          They just delete the whole ad.

          For example. I purchased a 14.4V battery pack for a robot vacuum. It claimed to have Panasonic cells or LG, both were are different price and capacity.

          I tested it and got approx 2500mAh vs 5800mAh. I logged a dispute. I was told the testing was not correct and the the batteries are "certified". I then opened it up and the cells were mixed and used and mathematical impossible to get to 5800mAh in that configuration. The spot welding was also shocking.

          In the end I got nothing back. I had to remove the cells discharge them and recycle them. I ended up ordering a genuine case and BMS and ordered 8 x 18650 3500mAh Panasonic's, and spot welder and some 100% nickel strips. I ended up making my own safe battery pack.

          I recently ordered a camera battery. Same deal claimed 1400mAh, upon opening a single 3.7v poly @500mAh.

          Now, I know you won't get what's claimed and sellers are a bit loose on numbers, but my experience was just shocking. In any case I'm not stupid and I'm fairly certain I'm going to be let down so I tend not to spend too much on batteries from AE.

          Oh and another scam, some sellers offer free return. But I don't know how this works, do I send it back to China and somehow get reimbursed. I've avoided these sellers from now on for things I expect to be rubbish. If you lodge a dispute, the seller just plays the Ace card asking you to return it. Waste of time.

          I'm the end I publish my findings as feedback. Sellers generally lose it and get all agro. The orders just stop. The ad is pulled and it's redone as a new look listing.

          I would add when I buy these things there is little to no feedback. It's only after I do an order and others start receiving their goods that feedback appears. Most people leave 5 stars because the unit technically works and they have no idea how to test capacity. But as soon as people start reporting the actually capacity and the feedback drops to low 4's the ads are pulled.

          • @mrhugo: That's really interesting and sounds like a terrible experience altogether.

            So, it's essentially difficult to avoid these bad sellers on aliexpress? Like batteries being lower capacity than what they are. And how do you test the batteries?

            • @OzBoganYeah: Testing is with a load tester. I enter the start voltage and the cutoff voltage (which is important, or else you kill the cells). When low voltage is reached the unit cuts off. I use resistors to create the load. It depends on what current I want to draw at. I have a selection from 2ohms to 25ohms from 100W to 500W. To disapate the heat I use a off-cut from a 10mm steel lintel. You would need to be a bit of a battery junky to go down this path.

              It's not all bad news for batteries on AE. Batteries for popular items, like GoPro's for example have a greater selection of listings. You can order by orders and look at the feedback. You will know pretty quickly if a cell is decent. It's just these odd-ball rare batteries which is a bit of a lucky dip.

              End of the day the more feedback that's left the more likely someone will post useful feedback (like actual vs stated capacity).

          • @mrhugo: There you go. One of the first rule of thumb is don't buy stuff from sellers which has little to no feedback! I buy lots of stuff and generally have no issues, and one of the rules to follow is to go for those with hundreds or even thousands of orders and plenty of feedback. And if a price you know is too good to be true, you'd be really foolish to go ahead and buy. If you follow these two points, you'll be fine almost all of the time.

  • I haven't ordered anything from them in a while. How long are deliveries taking?

    • +4

      Surprisingly most of my orders have been taking about 2-3 weeks. I think the record is 8 days from the order date. Then I have others that are taking 2 months because Singapore Post :/

      If its aliexpress standard shipping you will get it in less than a month. If its Cainiao Super Economy global it will take couple of months or you might not get it at all.

    Only toys or clothing will be considered buying at this dodgy site as it has no customer service and protection.

    • +2

      They have paypal now right?

      • Yes, I advise to use it too.

    • +1

      I beg to differ. I've bought a lot of items and most have been fine. Even for items with issues, I have never had problem receiving a full refund or for the seller to send me another item after AliExpress steps in. The only party that's always trying to shortchange you in the event something goes wrong is the vendor, but I usually ignore them if I'm not happy with their offer after highlighting an issue and go to AliExpress directly and have never been disappointed so far.

    • +1

      It's not a dodgy website at all. I buy most of my products from AliExpress, loads of purchases per month, rarely ran into issues. Been buying from them for more than 10 years now.

      It's extremely rare to have a problem with an item and whenever there is one, I can ask for a refund and they give it right away. I also just recently free returned an item that I basically didn't like and didn't serve my need (a big back pack).

      The only "problem" with Aliexpress is the delay to get your products, it can take weeks, but still, you can also select local Australian resellers and get it faster if you want. It's way cheaper than buying elsewhere and the quality for non major branded products is usually great, just follow the reviews and you'll be fine.

  • Ok after trying all sorts I think I found the culprit that was causing me problems with codes.
    One of the items I really wanted was a keycap set for a keyboard and it turns out it is a "pre-order" item. So the sellers that are listing it probably do not accept any discount of any kind.
    And the way the codes work based on past experience is they take a cut out of every item/seller.
    Unfortunately that was the only item I really wanted and none of the small discount codes work for it when it's just that single item in the cart anyway.

    Looks like I will have to just buy that one item without discount or pass on it all together.

  • Does anyone have suggestions for a credit card to use exclusively for AliExpress?
    I have my Up Card I use for everything, but I'm still a bit iffy about AliExpress and it doesn't look like they use PayPal.

    • They have PayPal.

      • Yeah. Worked that out when I signed up just then. Thanks. :)

    • 28 Degrees!

      • 28 Degrees connected to PayPal! haha!
