On AliExpress, responsibility for return shipping costs depends on the type of item and the service used. Here are the two possible cases:
1. If the product qualifies for AliExpress Free Return
- The return shipping costs are fully covered by AliExpress.
- A prepaid return label is automatically provided to you.
- You simply drop off the package with the specified carrier or at a pickup point.
Important: The return must be made within the designated timeframe (often 15 days after delivery).
2. If the product is not eligible for free return
- You will need to pay the return shipping costs yourself.
- Send the package to the address provided by the seller or through the AliExpress return system.
- Add the tracking number in the dispute section before the countdown ends.
Can you get a refund for return shipping fees?
Yes, in some cases, AliExpress may refund return shipping costs as a coupon. To do this:
- Keep your shipping receipt.
- Once the product refund is processed, contact AliExpress customer service.
- Send proof of the shipping payment to request a partial refund or voucher.
Tip: Before placing your order, check if the item displays the “Free Returns” option on its product page.
