Online purchase through AliExpress Dedicated Thread

what about alibaba.com any body using ?

Alibaba,com is for buying in Bulk, they will not sell single items, but if they do they will ship it with DHL,EMS or any Express mail, which costs too much

I have experienced shopping from Ali Express almost using many Courier services. Till now I have done more than 100 transections. In my experience Ali Express is Best online shopping place available in Pakistan. I have experienced of Amazon and EBay also but these are direcly available in Pakistan. 99% of Ali Express sellers are extra nice, co-operative and helpful. Always extend Protection period if you ask, If you received any broken or damaged item and tell them before confirming order, they send the item again. If you bought costly item or any Customable item, you should prefer DHL. Because in this way you received item within week with custom paid and they will never detain or late item. 50% of sellers negotiate with delivery charges for DHL. If anyone have any direct contact with custom or GPO, only then use China Mail or only use for small and non Customable items. But always use DHL for Customable, big and costly items to avoid long time and detaining items. I have experienced all types of items including Electronics, Chandeliers, Shoes, Sanitary wares, Hardware etc. Very positive experience.

Hello Chaudhary 9! Yes you are right DHL charges more than usual. I have tried China Mail previously for Customable items but every time packages came to Lahore were detain and because I am away from Lahore so it will cost more to go Lahore GPO and waste much time and also money to bribe or face lengthy process of clearing custom. So I prefer DHL. DHL usually charge custom between RS. 1000 to 3500 depond on size and declare price of parcel. And parcel deliver within week safe and sound. No botheration of waiting too long, wasting time for clearance and custom detain problems.

I agree on the Lahore GPO , part. Items do get detained. And the clearance is a tedious procedure.

But have you ordered any electronics via DHL?

Any Visa card or MasterCard which is usable on Internet after clearance from your bank can be accepted. You can make it viable after making it authorized for use through Internet from Bank's helpline.

[drkausar]

Yes I ordered, complete Security System, Video intercom, Computer parts, Hard drive clone maker, Finger print lock, Chandeliers, Digital faucet tab, Automatic Swing Gate opener through DHL. And many Sanitary sets through DHL. Experience is very good. All items arrived safe and sound with normal custom paid within week from different countries through Ali Express.
