Aliepress Vs Amazon, which one of them is better?

After having a shopping experience with Ali-express and it wasn't that great, have decided to hear from people who have shopped from both sites and have understood the way they work and sell. So i want to know the online shopping site that sells the best product and quality.

In your own view, which online shopping site do you love most for shopping ?

Hmm I've encountered issues with both of these platforms. Though I expected that the product won't be the same as it is in the pictures, the difference was far too great. So I guess between the two, I would rather choose aliexpress since it's cheaper, so if ever I encounter the same problems, my loss would be cheaper. Plus they ship faster to my country.

I think you hit the nail on the head with your comment here, they both sell very good products but Amazon is better in quality than Ali express. I think I prefer the cheaper Ali express so that you wouldn't feel the pain that much unlike Amazon, with it high price and shipping cost.

Really? I didn't know that low quality products also exist in Amazon. I actually don't have any experience about ordering anything on Amazon because it's not available here where I live.

I think Amazon is the best because the quality of the product is very good and also Amazon is very famous all over the world.

Amazon may be famous but it does not ship to all countries and the shipping cost at times is quite higher than the goods but am very sure that Amazon has quality good than Aliexpress.

Exactly. I also want to buy some stuff from Amazon because of the quality, but sadly they don't ship in my country which is honestly really sad. However, I am also sure that if they do ship here, the shipping fee would possibly become higher than the actual price of the product, which leaves me no choice but to shop on Zalora or Lazada instead.

I was able to locate an agent recently on Amazon but the charges he was telling me for shipping my products to Nigeria was more than my budget, I just have to stick with my local online shopping sites or Ali express.

True, Amazon offers the best quality of products and it's customer service is excellent because they are very eager to take care of any problems that may arise in the process any transaction. But it's true with them not having their services all over the world, as this limits their reach.

Yea, I think they should work on that seriously, I know he didn't get to the World richest man shipping his products to the whole world but for him to stay there for long, then he should try expanding his shipping policy.

Yes I agree with you, amazon is more popular than the Aliepress for some distinct reasons. It is one of my favorite shopping destination when it come to some online stuff since I am assured with the quality and good customer service of the site. It is really cool and amazing to have since it is still the best shopping site in my own experience.

When do you compare a child with an elderly? The child, like a broom, will tend to sweep clean, yet will mess up around corners.

Amazon is the giant of online sales. Aliepress has to brace up to match with them. It is good though, they offer them a competition. That is a thought to digest.

That is true but looking at it from an another perspective, Ali express offers more opportunity than Amazon in terms of sales and offers especially discounts. Ali express does well in terms of shipping to more country than Amazon does. Amazon is a giant because it is a product of the US and we all believe that the US is more genius than China.

I love how you classified the gap between Amazon and AliExpress, seriously Amazon is miles beyond AliExpress in all dimensions, and it's no need making arguments over it.

Even with the affiliate marketing program of Amazon, it's far more better than any other offer out there with any online stores.

The main reason I see why Amazon Affiliates is a better choice and the go-to affiliate network program for beginners is because of the vast array of new products that are introduced on a daily basis, it has much lower competition overall, and you don't have to "sell" people on things. Amazon's powerhouse strategy does all the lifting for you.

Well, when I discovered AliExpress, I must say that I find it good. There are a lot of products and a variety of them. Aside from that, the fact that there are cheaper prices is a plus. However when it comes to quality of the products, I think Amazon is at the top of the game.

Amazon would be the obvious option to almost every one especially for those who have this undying desire to shop online. AliExpress is good to some extent but it can't really be said to be better and Amazon because Amazon is the king of all online store.

Some products on Amazon are always kinda of expensive and this is one reason you should focus on Aliexpress and make some better gains. Amazon is a sure way especially as the scam rate on it is not that much compared to what we always experience with Ali express sometimes.

Aliepress is at the top especially when you are looking at starting up as someone that is into selling of some popular products. You should also try to understand the rudiments of e-commerce and how to make those purchases before you can start doing it.

When it comes to reliability of the products, payment and refunds I think that Amazon Sellers are more trustworthy. Although most Amazon Sellers do buy their products from AliExpress but what's good about it is that they have pick all the good products in AliExpress to resell in Amazon so it's much safer to buy in Amazon. The consequence is it's already a lot more expensive, double or triple the price.

Well if I have to choose between Aliexpress and Amazon then I will always choose Amazon. Aliexpress offers a wide variety of products and generally, they are available at a very low price but the quality of the product can be bad. On the other hand, Amazon offers very good quality products to its customers at a reasonable price in most of the cases. Moreover, the customer service of Amazon is also very responsive and prompt. Amazon also offers very quick delivery of the products as compared to all its competitors including Aliexpress.

I'm not sure it's a fair comparison in my case since I've been an Amazon associate for about a decade. I have also been approved for VigLink for almost a decade and that's the only way that I am able to access product links from Aliexpress to market. But I just realized that about a year ago that Aliexpress is listed as a VigLink merchant. I have been paid by Amazon many times. But I've never been paid commissions for Aliexpress. I blame myself though. I don't market as much as I should. But since it's the holiday season, perhaps I'll be able to earn this year.

Is Aliexpresss giving Amazon a run for its money? That may be the reason why Amazon is experimenting on the drone delivery to attract more attention from the clients. That novelty of using drone for delivery is very amusing and I'm sure buyers will make a purchase just for that experience. But my opinion on the market regarding online stores, it is still Amazon that is way ahead in the race for having the most number of clients.

I think Amazon is better compared to Aliexpress. Amazon has a drone delivery which is way better than a traditional delivery. We both know that Drone has a capacity to reach its destination faster than motorcycle or car delivery. So at that point I can see that Amazon is better.

I think both websites have their own advantages and disadvantages. Amazon is more popular than Aliexpress. But Aliexpress has cheaper products compared to Amazon. There is also a lower risk of receiving a defected product if you will purchase from Amazon.

Why Amazon trounces Aliexpress:

Goods sold - high quality (mostly)
Customer service - good
delivery service - good. and you can qualify for free shipping.
fast and easy checkout.

And Amazon goes to great lengths to ensure there are no counterfeit goods being sold on their site.

Aliexpress is like the new eBay in that not everyone trusts it but it has niche products that Amazon doesn't sell. I'd look at the product you'd want first on Amazon before considering Aliexpress. Think of it as a last choice.

I think it depends on your location and the means of shipping the product to you, If you are in the US and still prefer Ali express should be faster than Amazon then i think you are mistaken. If you ship with Ali express you can get your product as fast as possible depending on the method you choose.

Honestly I'd say Amazon is streets ahead, but that's not to say that Amazon is perfect - I've still had some less than stellar experiences with Amazon and their product quality before - especially when it comes to clothing, and I've vowed not to use Amazon any more for clothing purchases!

I will say though, like others have said, Amazon is really in a league of its' own when it comes to online purchases. It's hard to find any direct comparison.

If I need to buy something fast then I'll choose Amazon because it has a better reputation and it's been in existence for decades now. Amazon has a high trust rating. But if I have ample time to look for the best deal for a certain product I would tap AliExpress because it's a lot cheaper. The problem with AliExpress is you need to spend time researching which of the sellers can supply you with the best product and which ones are trustworthy enough.

I can consider them in terms of the ones that have an affiliate marketing portal or possibility in place which helps to create other jobs for marketers, especially in the online arena. I think that the ones which have such in operation are easier to deal with even when you are not necessarily purchasing content but can earn through reffering others.

I haven't buy things from Amazon before as I think the shipping cost is really high if I'd like things to ship to my country, but I agree that Amazon is much more popular, I have also heard that the products are with high quality and the customer service is really good.

I have bought some products from AliExpress before, from several different merchants. There are some products which are quite good quality, but some are not. Some products have defect when they were shipped to my house, and when I contacted the merchant, it took me quite some time to get him/her to settle the issue. At last, he/she told me I'd get a discount for my next purchase which I was not satisfied as I don't think I'll ever buy from this merchant anymore due to the poor quality of product and not so good customer service. The advantages of buying things from AliExpress are that the products and shipping cost are less expensive, especially when I am staying in Asia which is nearer to China. I think I will still buy things from AliExpress, but I will have to research more in the merchants by reading the reviews.

I do think that’s a good point - it might be region specific as to who prefers Amazon and who prefers AliExpress. If you live in America and have a prime membership you get free two day shipping on items and it’s super cost effective in my opinion. You also have access to things like prime day where you can get some fantastic discounts.

According to me, Amazon is far much better. To start with, Amazon is the best e-commerce website in the world. There are so many sellers on Amazon, who are shipping in various parts of the world, where sites like AliExpress are not shipping.

Secondly, Amazon has all sorts of products, which makes it better than AliExpress. While AliExpress has a limited number of products, you will find numerous options for a specific product on Amazon. Besides, the products are available in various prices, giving you the freedom to choose products based on your budget.

Finally, going by the number of affiliates and sellers on Amazon and AliExpress, you will realize that some of the best brands in the world sell on Amazon and not in AliExpress. Similarly, Amazon has the highest number of affiliates, unlike AliExpress, which is an indicator that the site is credible.

I agree completely@focusedwriter10. Amazon is the biggest and the best can E-commerce shop, there is no getting away from that. Amazon probably has better shipping and a better user experience. probably also has a wide range of products from all over the world. I think the reason that people use Ali express is because it's cheap, because its products are from China. If you are looking for something cheap rather then quality, go with Ali express. I'm not knocking it but these are the facts. If you're getting something from Ali express pay for express shipping which is faster.

Taking all of the angles it's far quite clear that Aliexpress has pulled in advance of Amazon. Aliexpress is a developing e-commerce internet site within the global and has already ruled many markets. It gives both wholesale for businesses and retail for clients across many exclusive platforms. Alipay is already increasing into the worldwide marketplace wherein Amazon has no rival to fulfill it.

Both of them are known online shops. But Amazon is more popular for being reliable worldwide. If you would mainly consider the prices, I think Aliexpress is more preferable. If you would consider reliability (customer support and after sales support), I think Amazon is better.

Amazon - original things ; Ali - fake things. I think that this is the truth. Still, I see a lot of people selling aliexpress things on amazon, and those people are just making a lot of money. Ali has real cheap stuff that you can resell and make some good money on that.

To be honest, Amazong was out there for a long time and it's basically older, but more reliable to me (personally).
It might be weird, but Aliepress is new to me. Only recently I heard about it.
