Sometimes, the estimated delivery time shown on your AliExpress order may change after purchase. Don’t worry — this doesn’t always mean a delay. Here are the most common reasons:
Adjustment due to logistics
- AliExpress may adjust the delivery time based on air or sea traffic updates.
- Factors such as strikes, bad weather, or package overloads can also cause changes.
Carrier update
- When the carrier takes charge of the package, they may provide a more accurate estimate.
- The system will then automatically update the estimated delivery date on your tracking page.
Change in sorting center or transit country
- Some packages are routed through different logistics hubs depending on shipping volume.
- This temporary detour can affect the originally predicted delivery date.
Should I be concerned?
In most cases, the package arrives on time or even earlier than expected.
- Keep an eye on your tracking in “My Orders”.
- If the buyer protection period is ending, you can open a dispute or request an extension.
