The Chinese marketplace giant wants to convince all users of 11/11, Singles Day in China, one of the most important days of the year for online sales worldwide.
We have all bought that junk that we needed for a certain assembly at home on Aliexpress and, after months of waiting, one fine day the mailbox gives us a surprise when it is delivered to us. When there is no hope, it is when they appear.
This is no longer so common, in principle thanks to the efforts of companies such as the one previously named for shorten waiting times, streamline shipments and optimize routes.
For a long time Aliexpress has been allying with courier companies, warehouses and other logistics points so that packages arrive on time. Not as fast as we usually see on Amazon, but with very decent waiting times for shipments arriving from China.
And it is normal, the expansion outside their borders could only be done if they fix their problem with waiting times. And in the middle of 2021 we can say that they have almost solved this handicap.
Of course, the company just jumped into the pool by making a promise that can be very expensive: They will give $ 1 to each customer who waits more than 10 business days after purchasing the product from your store.
Thus, Aliexpress will automatically refund a coupon worth one dollar (We do not know if in Spain coupons of € 1 or € 0.70 will be given out at the exchange rate) per order in case packages arrive late.
Of course, this refund will only apply to certain international shipments and for any order shipped from warehouses in China as well as Cainiao warehouses overseas during the next 11.11. Date known internationally as the single’s day.
The importance of that day is obvious for Aliexpress, since it is its biggest sales day of the year, surpassing even the classic Black Friday that has become so famous in recent years.
