AliExpress means 15–45 day shipping, inconsistent tracking, zero quality control, and Chinese return addresses on every package. Aerofulfill delivers 6–10 day shipping, 99.5% tracking accuracy, ISO-certified QC, and full branded packaging — purpose-built for Shopify brands.
AliExpress is a consumer marketplace — not a fulfillment partner. Here is what it costs your brand operationally.
Standard AliExpress shipping to the US takes 15–45 days. ePacket and AliExpress Standard Shipping are unpredictable. Customers cancel orders, file disputes, and leave negative reviews before packages arrive.
AliExpress tracking numbers frequently change mid-transit, show no updates for days, or use carriers that PayPal and Stripe do not recognize. This triggers "item not received" disputes and payment holds.
Products ship directly from the supplier to your customer with no inspection. Defective, wrong-sized, or damaged items arrive at your customer's door. You find out from the 1-star review.
Every AliExpress package arrives in a generic poly mailer with a Chinese return address, Chinese customs labels, and no branding. Your customer immediately knows it was dropshipped. Brand trust evaporates.
