Yes, AliExpress can deliver to your house.
The shipment is not made directly by AliExpress, but the seller receives our order and sends it. Although there are some agreements between AliExpress and some courier companies to take less time. But in the end, the platform only manages the purchase and the seller is the one who must respond to shipping problems.
There are three types of shipping AliExpress offers.
1. Ordinary shipments
These are shipments used for small or inexpensive products (packages that fit into a small padded envelope, the product usually costs less than $5). The main characteristic of these shipments is that they are not traceable, that is, we will not be able to see where our order is going nor will a notice appear in the tracking on the day it is delivered. The usual thing with this type of package is that the letter carrier leaves it in our mailbox, and no signature is required to pick it up. In many countries, this type of delivery is known to be slower.
We can identify ordinary shipments because they are untracked, free, or very cheap and have a longer delivery time. They can be called Cainiao Expedited Economy, China Post Economy, Seller's Shipping Method…
2. Certified shipments
This is the most common delivery for most AliExpress products. This type of shipment can be tracked online, and we can identify it because the tracking usually has a combination of letters and numbers (for example, begins with R and ends in CN). The package will arrive at us by the postal company of our country (the same one that delivers us the letters), but in this case, when they bring it to us to our house they will ask for a signature. If we are not at home they will leave us a notice to go and pick it up at the post office.
We can identify certified mail because they are tracked, they are economical and they have a relatively short delivery time. They can be called AliExpress Standard Shipping, AliExpress Saver Shipping, China Post Air Mail, Singapore Post…
3. Shipments through private courier
These are the most frequent shipments for very large or heavy orders (vacuuming robots, bicycles, machinery, household appliances…). The most outstanding characteristic is that it is a very fast shipment, in a few days we will receive our order, and it is a very safe shipment. However, we recommend you to avoid this shipment because even though it is faster, it usually has a customs surcharge.
We can identify private courier shipments because they are tracked, they are expensive and they have a very short delivery time. They can be called AliExpress Premium Shipping, EMS, e-EMS, DHL, FedEx, UPS…
Conclusion
The fastest way to ship AliExpress is through a national warehouse compatible with your country . You can use a sourcing agent or freight forwarder in China to help you. of the three shipping methods we just talked about, shipments with private courier are the fastest, although they are expensive and we will surely pay customs. Certified shipping with tracking is a cheaper option and it arrives faster every time. Finally, ordinary shipping tends to be slower.
