Now open your email and in the email from Aliexpress, there will be information to confirm the email and thereby complete the registration on the store's website.

After automatically switching from the mail to the Aliexpress website, your personal account will be displayed on all pages of the site in the upper right corner, where you can also find statistics of your further purchases on Aliexpress (“My orders”), correspondence with sellers and technical support (“Message Center”), there is a section “My wishes" (goods which you liked), etc.

How to make a purchase and place an order on Aliexpress?

Log in to the site first ru.aliexpress.com (enter your username/password). In the drop-down menu of your personal account (top right), select the “My Aliexpress” section to add a delivery address for your mailings.

After that, in the menu on the left, click on the “Delivery addresses” section and fill out the form (all fields in the form must be written in Latin letters). In the end, check the box next to “Set as default” and click on the "Save" button.

Next, a page will open with the added delivery address. Also, if desired, you can add several addresses (by clicking on the “Add new address” button) to deliver parcels to different places (for example, home or office). The address that has been ticked as the default address will be used first of all when forming an order.

ATTENTION: in the form of “Delivery addresses”, specify the real data (names, surnames, phone numbers), so that later there will be no problems with receiving the parcel at the post office or during delivery by courier. Also, check the zip code of your post office for the arrival of the parcel at the branch you need.

Now, go to the main page of the Aliexpress online store (click on the “Aliexpress” logo at the top left) and select the product you want to buy (click on it). To do this, you can use the search button (there is a field with a magnifying glass at the top) or you can use the rubricator (on the page on the left) to sort products by category.

If you want to change the currency of all products that are displayed on the Aliexpress website, click on the “Delivery to ..” button (at the top right on any page of the store) and select your country and currency, then click on the “Save” button.

On the open page with a detailed description of the product (by clicking on the product), select the product parameters (color, size, delivery company, etc.) and click the “Buy now” button (to proceed to pay for the product) or you can click on the “Add to Cart” button (to continue shopping Aliexpress). The added product will be displayed in the "Shopping Cart" (at the top of the page).

Please note that all the items in the order (even if they were paid in one payment) will most likely come to you in separate parcels.

MY ADVICE: before buying goods, always look at the rating of the seller from whom you want to make a purchase, read reviews both on the seller (click at the top “..brand” or “...reviews” and on the product itself (at the bottom under the product picture), familiarize yourself with the main characteristics of your purchase, as often the Chinese under a beautiful picture they sell absolutely “ugly” (low-quality) goods (most often clothes)

To pay for the goods added to the Aliexpress shopping cart, click on the “Shopping Cart” button (at the top in the center), and on the page that opens, click on the “Order from this seller” or “Place an order" button (the essence is the same)

IMPORTANT: when choosing a delivery (click on the button with the delivery name in the cart opposite the product on the right or on the page with its description), you need to make sure that the selected service has “available” information about delivery.

On the page that opens (by clicking on the “Place an order” button), your delivery address will be displayed at the top (or add an address if there is none), and in the subsection below (“Payment Method”) enter the necessary information about the bank card with which you want to pay for the order and click on the “Confirm and pay" button.

Also, you can pay for your order with an electronic wallet QIWI, WebMoney, etc.

That's it, now your order is completed.

You can view the statistics of purchases made, as well as see the tracking number of the parcel for tracking, in the drop-down menu of the Aliexpress personal account on the tab “My orders".

After paying for the purchase, the delivery time of the parcel from China to the destination (to your post office) is on average from 24 to 40 days, depending on the delivery service you choose on the Aliexpress website.

If during this time (24-40 days) the parcel has not arrived and is not tracked, then you can open a dispute with the seller and return the money spent, but this is the topic of our next article.
