A Guiding Light to AliExpress Refund Policy

AliExpress is a China-based online store and a part of the huge Alibaba Group. It connects sellers and buyers worldwide, offering almost everything you want or need—from toilet brushes to state-of-the-art technology.

With so many products to ship, many problems can occur. Packages get lost or people receive wrong or damaged products, so they want to get their money back. If you are one of those people, read on to find out how to get an AliExpress refund!

Does AliExpress Refund Money?

Yes, AliExpress does offer refunds. With a huge range of products offered in the store and numerous businesses operating on the platform, many things can go wrong. Because of this, AliExpress has created the Buyer Protection Program to grant its customers the right to refunds.

The company encourages clients to solve the issues with the seller first. If you can’t reach a deal with the seller, AliExpress will give you a refund in these cases:

  • The order hasn’t been shipped, yet and you decide to cancel it
  • The product doesn’t match the description
  • Your order doesn’t arrive at all or arrives later than it should
  • The product you ordered is fake

You can open the refund dispute within 15 days of the delivery or the package delivery deadline (60 days maximum).

What Is the AliExpress Fast Refund?

AliExpress fast refund is reserved for its Platinum and Diamond members. If you are a Platinum member, you can get a fast refund for products under $25, and if you are a Diamond member, you can be refunded for the products up to $100.

When the seller approves your refund, you can send the tracking number of the package to AliExpress, and you will get your refund automatically. If you want to return any product, you should make sure it’s undamaged, unwashed, and in the original packaging.

Request an AliExpress Refund by Yourself

When you buy online, you can never be sure what you are going to get. You order a comfortable office chair, but you end up with a key ring. Many AliExpress customers report getting something they did not order.

If you got scammed, the product you bought doesn’t match the description on the website, or you changed your mind about purchasing something on Aliexpress, you can ask for your money back by:

  1. Canceling your order
  2. Making a refund claim
