Dear Users of Ali Express and China Registered Air Mail ,
I am providing you with a lot of information on this topic to all the Indian People who buy regularly from Ali Express and uses China Air Post as their Carrier, I am providing you with information from the time you buy your product till it is delivered to you. I am providing you this information from my personal experience and whatever I came to know from this Website.
#1 - Before you buy your Product - First choose your product and before you pay for a product , there is a chat option directly with the Seller of the Product on the right side of the screen, you can notice the seller's name , address and chat option on the right side. Click on the Chat .
STEP 1. Topic to Chat - After Clicking on the chat option, ask the seller " Can you provide me Proper tracking Information for my Product from the time you hand it to China Air Registered Mail till it is delivered to me ? "
Step 2 . Wait for their answer , the sellers sometimes reply immediately as they are always on line or take 1 to 2 days to respond .
Step 3 . If they say "yes" then you are lucky you can proceed further, if the seller refuses or says " no " or says " the cost of the product is not enough to cover the express . then don't buy the item from that seller , it clearly means the seller will delay in sending you your item or will never send you the product , that kind of seller can also provide you with false tracking id to cheat you .
Step 4 - Always Buy products from those sellers who promise to provide you with correct and authentic tracking ids. Only after ensuring this buy, your products.
#2 - How to buy Products from Aliexpress or other Foreign websites -
Step 1 - You can pay these foreign websites by Mastercard/ Visa/ Citibank etc . You can also open your Alipay account in Aliexpress website for smoother and trusted international transactions ,
This Alipay saves your Mastercard Credit Card details and lets you create your personal account in Alipay to receive smoother transactions and discounts while buying from Alipay . Its completely safe
One can also create a Paypal Account to buy things from outside the country ,
All these Options mentioned above are safe.
#3 - Taking tracking id from the seller .
Step 1 - The Seller can provide you with tracking numbers once he has shipped your product . It generally takes 3 to 5 days to pack your product and courier it to you . You can ask your seller for the tracking number once your order is shipped .
If your seller takes more than 15 days time in processing or shipping your order it means that your seller does not have the item you want to buy , immediately cancel the order and ask for a Refund. But do this before the seller sends you the item.
