The AliExpress Problem

Why Serious Shopify Brands
Outgrow AliExpress

AliExpress is a consumer marketplace — not a fulfillment partner. Here is what it costs your brand operationally.

15–45 Day Shipping

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.

Average AliExpress delivery: 20–35 days to US

Inconsistent Tracking

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.

60–75% tracking accuracy on AliExpress orders

Zero Quality Control

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.

8–15% defect rate reported by AliExpress dropshippers

Chinese Return Addresses & No Branding

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.

Customers who identify dropshipping are 4x less likely to reorder

AliExpress Migration Questions

Most brands complete the full migration in 5 business days. Your Logistics Architect creates a parallel migration plan — your AliExpress orders continue fulfilling while we onboard your SKUs, test quality control, and configure Shopify integration. The switch happens with zero order disruption.
Yes. We match your AliExpress products to verified factories in our network. In most cases, we source the exact same products at lower cost (average 23% savings) because our local team negotiates in Mandarin with volume leverage from 5,000+ brands.
AliExpress Standard Shipping to the US averages 20–35 days. Aerofulfill delivers in 6–10 days to the US, 7–12 days to the EU, and 7–14 days to most global markets. That is a 70–80% improvement in delivery speed.
AliExpress dropshippers typically experience 5–12% chargeback rates due to inconsistent tracking, long shipping times, and unrecognized carrier names. Aerofulfill brands average 0.3% chargebacks because every order ships with verified tracking numbers recognized by PayPal, Stripe, and all major payment processors.
No. Aerofulfill charges a per-order fulfillment fee based on your volume tier. There are no monthly platform fees, no auto-ordering credits, no hidden surcharges. You pay for what you ship.
We consolidate all your products under one roof. Instead of managing 5–10 different AliExpress suppliers with different shipping times and tracking systems, everything ships from our 80,000 sq ft Wuxi warehouse with consistent QC, branding, and tracking.
