About AliExpress

What is AliExpress?

AliExpress Shopping App is an app that enables users to purchase millions of different products from thousands of brands at highly discounted prices. It can be downloaded for free from iTunes and Google Play.

Once the app has been downloaded, users will be prompted to create an account and submit payment and delivery information. From there, they can begin browsing items for sale.

If you would like to browse by category, simply select the category you would like from the home page. If you would like to search for a specific type of item, click the magnifying glass at the bottom of the app in order to access the search feature. Searching by an image rather than just a keyword is also an option.

One of the main reasons why the AliExpress Shopping App is so popular is because of its affordable prices. The app periodically offers coupons and flash sales, and over 75% of the products have free shipping.

When your order is shipped, you will receive a notification and a tracking number. If you have any difficulties with your order, you can either message the seller directly or file a complaint with the app.

For a certain amount of time until a seller ships your order, you will be covered by buyer protection. Additionally, all payments are secure.

The app accepts most major credit cards as well as Paypal. There is also the option of saving your payment information to prevent having to re-enter it for every purchase.

Is AliExpress safe for my kids?

Because AliExpress Shopping App has very little monitoring and restrictions, the app is not safe for kids and is best for mature teens. However, there is currently no age verification process.

Similar to Amazon, Parents should know that the sole purpose of the app is to make purchases. Due to this fact, it is important that you discuss with your child what spending limit they should abide by.

If you do not want your child to be able to make purchases without your permission, simply log out of the app after every use or share an account with your child.

Additionally, the app does have the potential to sell items that are mature or inappropriate for kids. Parents may not wish for their child to have access to products that are related to profanity, sexual themes, or violence.

Although the app does not track users’ locations, it does require a large amount of personal information, including your address and payment information.

If you are not comfortable with an app having access to these forms of data for you or your child, you may not want to create an account with the app.
