I friend told me about this great Chinese website, but as I've never ordered from one before, I don't know much about payments. How do you pay for items from China? Do they accept PayPal or GooglePay?Asked a month ago

How long does it take for an item to be shipped from China?
I just ordered something from a Chinese website, but as it's my first order, I don't know anything about shipping time. It's a small package, and the store says that the arrival time depends on the shipping method and the customs clearance. How long does shipping from China to the US take? Is there a way to track my order? Thanks.Asked a month ago

Are there any additional import taxes when purchasing electronics from Chinese websites?
Hey all. So, I would like to buy some electronics from this Chinese website I like. I've ordered from it before and I never had any additional fees, but I've never bought electronics.

Is there a return and refund policy for electronics purchased from Chinese websites?
I bought a tablet from one Chinese online store about 3 months ago. It worked fine for some time, but recently, it started shutting down for no reason. I had an expert look at it, and he said it was a manufacturing error, nothing I could have done. I would like to return it, but I don't know if that's even possible. Also, I don't expect to get a full refund, but could I get a partial one at least?Asked a month ago

Are the electronics on AliExpress genuine or fake?
I found out about AliExpress just a few days ago, and I love the variety of items the website offers. Most things are much cheaper than in my country, and there are so many things I couldn't even find here. The prices of electronics, though, are much, much lower, which is why I must ask: are the electronics real? In general, is AliExpress safe for electronics, and how can I tell if something is real?Asked a month ago
