Aliexpress and customs fees: opinions?

Hello

Buying online is not fraudulent. It is ONLY when you buy counterfeit branded goods (Easy to spot given the prices that are too low-cost to be honest..).
If seized: destruction + possibly legal action from the counterfeit brands.

The registration of customers buying outside the EU seems completely ridiculous.. However, an individual whose package is destroyed (Without fine) on the grounds of 'counterfeiting' is likely registered on a file.. Beware of repeat offenses!

The flow of packages from outside the EU is not about to dry up..

See you!

EPIE 49: Hi, don't worry, I've been ordering from AliExpress for a year now because, as you say, "it's really cheap." It's true; all the products from France you will find there for 2 to 3 times less. In one week's time, I ordered about $150 worth—true story ;) To this day, I have had no customs fees or anything (Apple spare parts, etc.). Keep in mind that I have an iPhone 4; I wanted to get it repaired, and they asked me for €140 (in France). I checked this site to find the parts and do it myself, and indeed, I found what I was looking for; I spent only €15 in total. Now my iPhone works wonderfully ;) So don't worry, you won't incur any extra charges on the site. I won't say ALL, but most items come with free shipping :) I hope I answered your question?? Thanks for keeping me updated :)

No one is supposed to ignore the law and you are normally required to pay VAT fees to customs. So beware of dangerous counterfeits for you or your loved ones... buying cheap, without controls and without taxes = more unemployment and poverty in France!!! To those who understand...

dad > Lolo98

Uh, most products sold in France are made in China, just so you know!

To reply to Lolo98, it must surely come from there that the unemployment rate has been exploding in France for decades, and not from embezzlement, dubious campaign financing, massive offshoring, golden parachutes... We are really bastards!

You seem to overlook the difference in living standards between French and Chinese workers.
Social Security, Retirement, Vacations, Etc...

Maybe the Chinese don't have our social benefits, but French employees contribute to all these advantages.

I want to point out that Aliexpress just charged me a little over 125 euros :)! Now we’ll have to see if there are any other fees...

Do you have fees for converting $ to € :)

Kamelia > bubu12

The fees for converting $ to € are due to the bank because it's like you are paying abroad, but when you enter your banking details, you can choose your currency at the top and select Euro, and then you won't have any fees. I've always done this and it's great.

Aside from the site itself, I doubt anyone can answer this specific question.

There are almost never customs fees as long as you go through the Chinese post

Regarding the complaint timing, you have 45 days to report an item not received. Here’s the procedure to get a refund if needed

And also

you can order items individually (you can normally see it when it’s mentioned)

the sellers are all positive, it’s honest really,

for payment: it’s by credit card securely, don’t be afraid

Can you send me the link to your item? I’ll check for you if it’s sold individually

Thank you for keeping me updated :)

When you buy from several sellers, the bank charges you 1 dollar for each, so you should buy from a single seller.. bank problem then.

Hello, I ordered on this site yesterday and I only registered today, but it says "invalid email." However, I paid yesterday, etc. I don't understand.

Hello, I would like to order on Aliexpress because it's really cheap! I need some advice please

I would like to know if we can order by the unit?

My order wouldn't really be a large amount, US $17.22, which is €13.09.

It says "0€ shipping fees." but are there any other fees to pay? Like transaction, customs? It's really little for this amount...

The seller has a 95.9% positive feedback and

Item as Described
4.6
Communication
4.6
Shipping Speed
4.4

What does that mean, could someone help me? Is this seller reliable?

And what about payment security? I don't see (the security padlock)

I really want to order this product because there is none elsewhere... at this price

Need urgent answers please!

Hello
I’ve already ordered from this site for about this amount and I didn’t receive anything at all, plus the product was of decent quality… I don’t know what kind of product you want to order…
Personally, I’ve never trusted payment security, so avoid paying with your credit card directly linked to your bank account… If not, you can always get a prepaid card (virtual) from SFR or another provider. Just search for virtual card on Google to get more information… It will cost you a few euros or nothing to get it, depending on the cards… then you’ll have fees for depositing money onto it…
I hope this answer is satisfactory for you.
Happy shopping :)

I often shop on Aliexpress and Alibaba, and I have only good comments, and these are not $10 orders.

DIDINE

Hello, I just ordered products on Aliexpress. How long does it take to receive them?

popo

between 15 days and 1 month

NECIR

You can order even if the price is 1 euro!!!
If they tell you that shipping is included, then you will only pay the price of the product and nothing more, nothing at all.
The package will arrive in an average of 15 to 30 days, and sometimes longer.
One time I got my package in a week, but that's very rare; in fact, the seller specifies the timelines and commits to these timelines.
