Considerations Before AliExpress Shipping Methods and Their Delivery Times

AliExpress Shipping Method

There a lot of things to consider before clicking the BUY NOW button on AliExpress. The first two things that come to the mind of any normal buyer on AliExpress are Whether it is “FREE SHIPPING” or “SHIPPING COST“. That is a brillant caution.

Shipping methods on AliExpress differs depending on the seller, country of buyer and the weight of the item. Some buyers have option for epacket and normal shipping. Epacket is generally free shipping and it also covers local delivery costs.

If epacket is not available for a particular item, you can either search the same item and filter your search to include free shipping, reviews and epacket. You will be shown with numerous other good options. Lets assume that there is no epacket for that particular item but there’s free shipping.

Noticeably, free shipping takes a lot of time between 2-3 weeks which is about 21 days. But there are other shipping methods that offer faster delivery time with ridiculous shipping charges that are twice the actual item price.

Now, you have to consider either buying the same item twice at free shipping than paying for a shipping that is twice than what you’re buying or just pay a 6-7 days DHL offers.

Technically, most sellers ship faster before 2 weeks. It depends on number of purchased items to be delivered in batch to the same location and price.
