AliExpress

Website Introduction

AliExpress, launched in 2010, is Alibaba’s international B2C platform, targeting consumers worldwide with low-cost goods. It connects buyers with Chinese sellers, offering electronics, fashion, home goods, and more. Unlike Alibaba.com (B2B), AliExpress focuses on small-quantity purchases. The platform supports multiple payment methods, including credit cards and local options, and provides buyer protection with dispute resolution. AliExpress has grown rapidly due to competitive pricing, frequent promotions (e.g., 11.11 Global Shopping Festival), and free shipping on many items. The platform also integrates with Cainiao (Alibaba’s logistics network) for faster delivery. Recent expansions include local warehouses in key markets to reduce shipping times.
