Verified sellers on "AliExpress": we buy cheap, but reliably

It's no secret that today a lot of goods of different categories are produced in China. Many say that, thanks to such a developed industry, the Celestial Empire holds leading positions in the rating of world economies. And in general it is true, because a huge number of entrepreneurs around the world cooperate with Chinese producers solely due to the low cost of the goods and its acceptable quality. However, it is not necessary to have a large business in order to be able to buy goods cheaper. Now there are a lot of platforms for direct ordering inexpensive things from Chinese manufacturers or wholesalers. The largest of them is the site "AliExpress." It is included in the largest trading group in the world - Alibaba - due to what the checked sellers on "АлиЭкспресс" do millions sales per day.

What is AliExpress?

"AliExpress" is a large online store, a real shopping center, launched in China. Despite its origin, this resource is available in different languages (including Russian). More importantly, you can pay for "AliExpress" using our own domestic Internet currency, in particular, Webmoney, Yandex.Money and Qiwi (the conversion is carried out at the rate of this currency to US dollars).

Sellers on "AliExpress" are representatives of various factories and factories from China, who happily cooperate with buyers from all over the world, and therefore easily communicate in English. As for delivery, in most cases it is free, since it is carried out by Air Mail or China Post (airplane) and lasts, as a rule, from 15 to 25 working days. In general, having ordered the goods today, you should expect that you will receive it in 30-45 days. However, those who wish can arrange a different delivery method, for example, by DHL or EMS. It should be borne in mind that the price of delivery can significantly exceed the cost of the goods themselves. For this reason, the best sellers on "AliExpress" still prefer a cheap, but longer delivery.

How to comply with safety rules when buying?

Undoubtedly, buying goods in a Chinese store is associated with certain risks. Among the sellers come across scammers who want to cash in on gullible buyers from abroad. And this is understandable, because no preliminary check of sellers on "AliExpress" is carried out, and they do not show their passports. In addition, you, as a victim of fraud, never contact the Chinese police and do not go looking for a deceiver. Therefore, anyone who makes purchases on this site, it is recommended to pay close attention to the rating of sellers on "AliExpress."

A user with a higher rating is already more thoroughly verified at the expense of his previous transactions. The seller, who offers goods cheaper and who does not have any sales on his account, can be dangerous. Therefore, when ordering something, always make sure of the good reputation of the person to whom you will pay money. To select sellers by rating, just click the "Top rating" (or Top-rated in the English version) when you select the product. The site will automatically issue goods from more trusted stores. These include the Gold Supplier sign and a large number of reviews. Each of the categories offered on the site has its own sharks.

Companies you can trust

So, how to find reliable sellers, we have already written. Also, we present in this article a small rating of the most authoritative companies. In parentheses near the name of the store we indicated the number of reviews left by buyers at the time of writing the article.

Of course, these are not all stores with which you can successfully work on "AliExpress." Using the data from the above rating, you can roughly evaluate the quality of work of other vendors and draw appropriate conclusions.

The mechanism of impact on the rating of sellers on "AliExpress"

On the Internet portal "AliExpress", as already noted, there is a rating system of sellers and product reviews. Verified sellers on "AliExpress" have been operating for a long time, have a lot of good feedback from customers, and, therefore, cherish their reputation. This is the mechanism for protecting buyers - if they send a low-quality product, the seller will respond to the complaint and either compensate for the money, or send a new product. It is more profitable for him to make sure that the client eventually leaves a good review. And to this they are all eager.

As for the complaint, "AliExpress" has a special form available after the payment is made. If the goods did not come, came in the wrong form or was replaced by another thing, you can use this form to start a dispute. It is recommended to do this in English, because the Chinese trader probably does not speak Russian. As a rule, verified sellers on "AliExpress" promptly review the complaint and either return the money without additional questions, or start a dispute and force the buyer to "aggravate" the situation. In the case of the transfer of the complaint to the status of "aggravated dispute", the administration of the site is involved in the conflict and considers the complaint.

How do I make a refund?

In fact, the opening of the dispute is already an occasion for a possible return of funds. The buyer can specify what exactly is wrong with the product and at what size it requires a return (this can be specified as a percentage). After this, either the seller gives consent, or the administration of the resource, if the truth is on the buyer's side, can force the negligent seller to return the funds. Before the client confirms receipt of the goods in the proper form or the period of protection of the transaction passes, money is not received to the account of the seller, but is in the "frozen" state. In the event of a refund, they enter the same volume and the same purse from which payment was made.

If you have your verified sellers on "AliExpress", you can order anything you like. For example, there are many categories of goods, such as "Electronics and gadgets", "Home and family", "Toys", "Goods for animals", "Goods for leisure" and so on. In fact, having looked through all sections of the portal, you can come to the conclusion that it is difficult to come up with a product that would not be sold here. This shows the wide profile of Chinese enterprises and about the opportunities to buy cheap and affordable things here. Try, maybe you'll look after something yourself.
