Online purchase through AliExpress Dedicated Thread

[SER_GTR]

its not registered mail.

all you can do is pray that it reaches you or file a dispute for refund..which is likely to be denied by aliexpress if shipment status shows it reaches destination country on aliexpress international tracking

[mrdeejay]

Anyone ordered Android head unit or similar electronics through aliexpress. How much was the duty/taxes on it?

[ch.talal]

Don't order anything from Aliexpress these days. Packages are getting lost these days. Don't know when pakistan post would improve its service.

[mrdeejay]

Yea, I read about issues in this thread, so not going to order now. Still want to know much duty+sales tax will be charged on it (if any)

[ch.talal]

Probably. Depends upon item price and its weight. If its heavy customs department often slap duty on it.

[xzap042]

was your items tracking showing arrived at destination country when you lodged a complaint? my orders are at 'Departed country of origin' stage since long. I'm assuming they have reached Pakistan but pak-post is not processing them.

[huzaifa2k9]

Having exactly the same issue.

Dear colleagues.
Out of free delivery services by AE like Hansen air mail..cainiao super economy for special goods...cainiao super econony...4px Singapore post.. Which is better. Like stuff usually reaches Pakistan. As I need some stuff in which registered air mail or ali exp. Delivery rates are very high

[SER_GTR]

avoid ordering for time being...

4px Singapore is good

[nawan885]

@SER_GTR
Thanks.. so 4px Singapore is good.. What about other. ANY other members who can share their experiences.
Second why I should not order in current scenario

[waleed911]

I ordered my stuff on 11 May. There were a total of 21 packages. Until now I have received only 10 items.
So, I second Ser_gtr, dont order right now. Once it leaves China Ali Express will not refund you if the package is lost. They are already facing a lot of losses due to the pandemic.

Avoid such unregistered postal services. Always use registered ones like China Post Reg Airmail, AliExpress Standard shipping, Singapore Post, Malaysia Post, Turkey Post.

By the way don't order anything from Aliexpress. Packages are getting lost (stolen by crooks working in customs)

[nawan885]

Thanks for feedback.. 4px Singapore and Singapore post both are same or different

[ch.talal]

4px is cheaper unregistered postal service while singapore post is registered.

There are some issue on free shipping items and are individual cases. if you select registered mail than it will definitely delivered. moreover refund received very easily if tracking history is not available. don't hesitate go for it. very user friendly

[Nabs]

Let us know when your items are delivered. I am also holding off ordering from AliExpress as Pakistan Post is not delivering packages.

[roony]

I ordered 2 items about $10 each (both registered post). Got the first one, took about 3 weeks.

Second one is no where to be seen. It hasn't reach Pakistan yet. The local postman did say that Pakistan post is delivering packages now.
