Meaning of “Accepted by Carrier” on (Tracking Guide)
We track hundreds of AliExpress shipments through our testing accounts, and “Accepted by Carrier” is one of the most common statuses we see. In most cases, it updates within 3-7 days. Occasionally, packages sit at this status for 10-14 days, especially during sales events like 11.11 or Chinese New Year. We have never had a…

How to File a Second Dispute on AliExpress
We have filed second disputes twice across our testing accounts. Both times, the first dispute was cancelled because the seller promised to resend the item (they did not). In one case, we won the second dispute with a full refund after uploading better evidence. In the other, we learned an expensive lesson: we had waited…

What Does “Extend Order Processing Time” Mean on AliExpress
We have extended processing time on maybe 20 orders over the past two years. Most were during Chinese New Year when sellers legitimately could not ship.

AliExpress Payments Made Easy: How to Use Virtual Cards Instead of Credit Cards
We use virtual cards for every AliExpress purchase across our testing accounts. The main reason is simple: if a card number is ever compromised, the damage is limited to whatever balance was on that card. We have been using Revolut virtual cards for the past two years and have processed over 200 orders without a…

Can’t Create an AliExpress Account or Got Disabled: Quick Fix
We run multiple AliExpress accounts for product testing, and we have dealt with nearly every account issue that exists. Two of our accounts were disabled last year, one for opening too many disputes during a batch of defective products, the other flagged for “unusual activity” after we logged in from a new device while traveling.…

AliExpress Listings Showing Two Prices: Here’s Why
We order from AliExpress weekly for product testing, and the two-price situation happens constantly. Last month, we saw a set of screwdriver bits listed at $2.49 on the search page. When we clicked through, the product page showed $8.99. The reason: the $2.49 price was for a single replacement bit, not the full set. The…

How to Edit Your Email on AliExpress
We manage multiple AliExpress accounts for product testing, and we have changed the email on three of them over the past year. The process itself takes about 2 minutes when everything works. But we also ran into two situations that made it significantly harder: one account was registered through Apple “Sign in with Apple” (which…
