Hello Everyone, Your favorite content creator is back again!
This time, I am going to review a Chinese online shopping platform called AliExpress.
What is Aliexpress?
AliExpress is a very popular online shopping platform from China. It’s the business-to-consumer subsidiary of Alibaba Group, one of the world’s biggest e-commerce companies. AliExpress is well-known for its low prices and long delivery times. Aliexpress was launched in 2010 as an online business-to-consumer platform where Chinese retailers can sell their products to foreign consumers. The website was launched by Alibaba Group, a major Chinese e-commerce company that also owns Taobao and Tmall. source
It is my favorite shopping platform because of its low prices but good quality product.
First, to access aliexpress, go to their official website aliexpress.com or download their mobile application on your phone for easier access.
You can easily download the aliexpress mobile application on your iPhones or Android phones. I use an iPhone 7 plus so I will show you how to download and navigate the application on an iPhone with screenshots for better understanding.
