AliExpress is a global online retail marketplace founded in 2010 as part of Alibaba Group, headquartered in Hangzhou, China. The platform enables consumers worldwide to purchase products directly from manufacturers and sellers, primarily based in China but increasingly from other countries. AliExpress serves buyers in over 200 countries and supports transactions in multiple currencies and languages.
AliExpress offers an enormous selection of products across categories including electronics, fashion, home improvement, beauty, automotive, toys, and jewelry. The platform is known for its competitive pricing, frequent sales events including its annual 11.11 Global Shopping Festival, and a buyer protection program that ensures refunds if items do not arrive or match their descriptions. Many items on AliExpress ship for free, though delivery times typically range from 15 to 45 days for standard shipping. AliExpress Choice offers faster delivery options on select curated products.
