utilitus Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I've used AliExpress several times for deliveries to California, with good results. The first time was maybe seven years ago when my Mexican silver money clip broke in half, and I ordered a more 'sophisticated' stainless steel model from Shenzhen for US$3.50 delivered. Took a few weeks to arrive. I have also ordered larger items, such as curtains that have come in multiple boxes. AE facilitates and supervises the transactions, like EBay, and I have never had a problem, except for the well known fact that Asian clothing sizes are tiny for gringos, so go XXXLarge, depending. Many items probably violate IP laws - I doubt that the Trout Mask Replica, Butthole Surfers or Schoenberg Tshirts I ordered were properly licenced. Of course, delivery to Mexico is an entirely separate issue about which I am interested to learn. And just two days ago, the US 'government' started to withdraw from the international mail regime which subsidized such AE deliveries from China, and this could have a major impact on shipping costs to the States, which have been ridiculously low. (I once ordered a specialty data cable for US$ 1.70, delivered.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utilitus Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Forgot to mention that on November 11 ('Singles Day'), there are even better online deals offered. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singles'_Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addtocart Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I've been ordering things from AliExpress for years, everything from trinkets to cell phones. Always delivered via Mexican mail, never a customs charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utilitus Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 add2, My understanding is that nobody relies on the Mexican mail delivery to the home for anything important. Were your AE deliveries to your door, without pickup notices directing you to a Post Office, or through a delivery agents' address? Thanks.

ComputerGuy Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Two orders from Ali Express over four years; neither arrived. Both were via Amazon. TO TEXAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnoNorm Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I use AliExpress many times a month, with perfect results. I do use a Correos de Mexico post office box. I generally receive orders in 4 to 8 weeks. Better than DX.com or GearBest. AliExpress is the consumer export activity of Alibaba, a 500,000million U$D company.

HarryB Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 a ew hundred pesos to the mailman on mailmans day works miracles. Done it for years and very happy with deliveries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
