Regarding disputes, AliExpress has three assessment indicators for sellers, namely dispute rate, ruling filing rate and seller responsibility ruling rate. The original intention of setting up these three assessment indicators is to distinguish the service capabilities of sellers and also to allow buyers to find sellers with relatively good service capabilities.

After the seller delivers the goods and fills in the delivery notice, if the buyer does not receive the goods or is not satisfied with the goods received, he can apply for a refund 10 days after the seller has shipped all the goods (if the seller has set a time limit If the delivery time is less than 5 days, the buyer can apply for a refund immediately after the seller has shipped all the goods), and the dispute will be generated when the buyer submits the refund application.

After the buyer submits or modifies the dispute, the seller must “accept” or “reject” the buyer’s refund application within 5 days, otherwise the order will be executed based on the refund amount proposed by the buyer.

If the buyer and seller reach an agreement through negotiation, the refund agreement will be followed. If an agreement cannot be reached, it will be submitted to AliExpress for adjudication:

After the buyer submits the dispute, both parties have a 7-day negotiation period, and the staff responsible for handling the dispute will respond within 7 days (including the 7th day) ) intervenes for processing;

If the reason for the refund application filed by the buyer is “the goods have not been received and the goods are in transit”, the system will automatically submit it after the time limit is reached

AliExpress rules.

For disputes, AliExpress encourages sellers to actively negotiate with buyers. After AliExpress’s dispute handling staff intervene, they will make a one-time ruling based on the evidence provided by both parties. The seller must accept AliExpress’s ruling.

How to resolve disputes

1) Disputes about the buyer not receiving the goods

When the logistics status shows that the goods are still on the way and have not arrived yet, the seller can and The buyer communicates first to close the dispute channel and help him extend the delivery time.

2) Disputes over short shipment of goods

The reason for the dispute may be that the order contains multiple items and the seller uses two packages to ship the goods. One package has been delivered, and the other package has been delivered. A package is still on its way, and the buyer files a dispute on the grounds that it has not been received and is requesting a partial refund. When encountering such disputes, the seller can reject the dispute, emphasize to the buyer that another package is still in transit, and provide the buyer with the tracking number of the package in transit. At the same time, it helps buyers extend the delivery time and wait for the arrival of packages in transit.
