AliExpress Sale Dates 2025 | Year-Round Sales Calendar

The 11.11 Global Shopping Festival is AliExpress's biggest sale of the year, happening around November 11. It usually runs in two phases: warm-up (November 8-10) where you can browse and add items to your cart, then the main sale starts November 11 and runs through November 19.

This is when you'll see the deepest discounts across all categories.

Discounts vary by sale and category. During major events like 11.11 and 6.18, you can find discounts ranging from 30% to 90% off regular prices. The Anniversary Sale in March typically offers around 30% off platform-wide, while Choice Day monthly events and Back-to-School sales offer smaller but still solid savings of 20-50% on selected items.

Choice is a special program that bundles eligible items from multiple sellers into one shipment for faster delivery. Products with the Choice badge often qualify for free shipping on orders over $10 or when you buy three or more items.

Choice items also come with free returns and delivery guarantees in over 20 countries, including Spain, France, Germany, and Switzerland.

Free shipping is available on Choice items when you spend over $10 or buy three or more items. You can also filter search results by “Free Shipping” and choose “Ships From” your country or region to find items with no shipping cost.

AliExpress Standard Shipping and Saver options often include free shipping, especially during major sales. Local warehouse stock in the US, EU, or UK frequently ships free.

Buyer Protection guarantees you'll get a refund if your item doesn't arrive or arrives damaged/not as described. The protection period is usually 60-75 days from the shipping date.

After your item arrives, you have 15 more days to open a dispute if there's a problem. You can extend this protection period by requesting an extension from the seller before it expires.

Yes. AliExpress offers two refund options: refund without return (if the item never arrived or is severely damaged) and refund with return (if the item doesn't match the description but you received it).

AliExpress accepts most major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), debit cards (Visa, Maestro), PayPal, and Alipay. Depending on your country, they also support local payment methods like bank transfer, Western Union, Boleto, PayU, and Doku.

Credit cards and PayPal offer the strongest buyer protection, while Alipay is popular for fast, secure payments especially in Asia.
