Questions about drop shipping and aliexpress. Has anyone ever ordered anything from AliExpress? Do you see the price and the name AliExpress on the invoice?

    You can request that no invoice be included, but the seller may or may not comply.

    To be smart, order a small quantity of the item and ship it yourself to your customers. The delivery time is far too long to seriously consider drop shipping with Aliexpress. There is at least a month wait. Few customers are willing to wait that long without complaint and demands for refund.

      When you offer not expensive products with free shipping people are willing to wait. Successfully dropshipping from AliExpress 3 months already and very few complaints so far. The average delivery time is 2-4 weeks.

        Define "successfully."

        I've used Aliexpress several times for personal buying and the wait was 30-60 days, unless I wanted to pay $30 or so for DHL express shipping.

        Do you sell in the USA? Both Ebay and Amazon customers will launch complaints/demand refunds if the item isn't received within 2-3 weeks, free shipping or not. America is an entirely different market and customers are not willing to wait weeks on end. Sure, if you're selling on your own website, you can dodge complaints, but customer service is important.

        I should also say that I personally wouldn't be comfortable making customers wait that long for their purchase.

  • Aliexpress is traded across borders without invoice.
    but if customers require it ,buyer may offer invoice to u.
    and as dropshipper,we always dont offer invoice to customers.
