Online purchase through AliExpress Dedicated Thread

[fahadwizz]

Please lodge a complain on the portal introduced recently. Trust me its very effective and hopefully will fix the system.

Whatever we import, we dont want to evade taxes. Just want to evade the bribes.

i have went through around 300 posts & everyone is saying they were not charged duty or in same cases they have been charged too much i want to import wireless headphones worth $3.5 ,can someone please guide the shipping is free via China Post ordinary small packet plus,would they deliver to my home since there also no tracking available & how much will be duty or it's just a gamble that whatever they would like to charge they would be charging ?? i wanted to import even few months ago but my friends dicouraged me regarding custom procedure is really a hectic situation but the stuff i want is not of that type available at daraz
where will would in need to go if they won't send me package or would they & how will i not be able to pay duty on such low price item??? regards

It's a risky game but at only $3.5 a piece, I think it's worth it!

China Post ordinary small packet plus isn't registered; so it's very easy for custom officials or your local postman to 'misplace' or 'borrow' (Steal) your package.

If possible; order via China Post Registered Airmail, which is usually provided Complimentarily, free of charge and since the package is registered to your address; it's a bit harder to 'misplace' them as your signatures are needed to complete the shipment.

Otherwise; just choose 'AliExpress Premium Shipping' or 'DHL' which offer online tracking but cost a LOT!

R you guys still purchasing online these days?.....asking due to the cyber bank fraud and most of the banks have blocked the international transactions.

got another parcel from AE....ordered on 27 oct and package arrived on Nov 12th....quick i'snt it...ehhhh?

[NASRUM]

3.5$ is because of discount well if the china post small packet plus is'nt reliable then it's miss I won't order via this
Usually the option of China post registered airmail is very rare but there is option of china post airmail are they same??
also secondly there is option for Aliexpress standard shipping not premium have'nt seen premium i guess that's also same ,DHL Is way too expensive importing a $5 product cost $150 to import which is waste of money
lastly if i buy from Aliexpress standard shipping would it be delivered to my home or I Would still need to go to custom/gpo & where is the office since I have zero exp regarding this & not much knowledge either this is why my queries are quite alot, though i asked you few months ago if u may remember but I did'nt got it completely since i changed my mind for not importing....
also what about seller shipping method & singapore post are they registered sorry for too many questions

[saad.ikram.5688]

Nobody will do this for free

Since you have to pay the transaction charges and conversion charges and etc so nobody will do that for you unless you pay them something for their services

Look at the bright side. At least it arrived!

I don't think it's registered.

also secondly there is option for Aliexpress standard shipping not premium have'nt seen premium

I think 'premium' shipping is for goods that worth more than $50, although I'm not entirely sure.

When I was ordering the following graphics card; premium shipping option was there:

In any case; since the toy car you're willing to import only costs $3.5, I think it's best to order it via standard shipping and save your cash!

I don't think custom officials would waste their 'precious' time on a sub 500 rupee toy! They'd rather waste it on expensive stuff such as the 2GB vRAM graphics card I ordered!

So... Take a leap of faith!

[xenerking]

previously all orders were shipped thru singapore mail, it had better status update...

now almost all orders thru china mail...status is not update very accurately, however delivery time is almost same or lesser..

rule of thumb is if you order hi value item, it will be dealt on priority and come quickly....smaller value items not so quick...

PLZ ONLY ORDER STUFF NOT AVAILABLE LOCALLY!!

Alibaba.com
Ebay.com

are allowed to send parcels to pakistan?

You can search for your desired product on Daraz. I see a lot of AliExpress products on Daraz now (as its subsidiary of Alibaba group now), they will handle the shipping, customs and take payment locally.

[saad.ikram.5688]

Yeah i agree with that too but on DARAZ the products are the lowest shit quality ones.
No customer support.
They dont give a damn if they even give you a defective piece.

try to select singapore post in your shipping method, i received my item in 12 days through singapore post & through china mail i received items in 25-30 days.

[NASRUM]

you received it in ur home or custom office with singapore post
secondly where is custom office
was china mail registered mail?
& what is seller shipping method I might be ordering some stuff for my friend so need to clear out..

[NASRUM]

thanks bro for update u missed some questions of mine but it's ok..

[aliadnan1984]

did you get the graphic card at home ? or did you have to go to customs to get it released ? was the card worth it ? quality and performance wise etc ?

I was thinking of ordering a SSD for my laptop
