Recently I shared some tips on finding great value products on AliExpress, but many people pointed out that while the prices seem low, the actual taxes can be quite high. So is that really the case?
Based on my long-term order history, I've noticed that most items shipped from China have increased in price compared to last year, with the average increase from 10-30%. However, some items shipped from the US haven't seen price hikes and no extra Import tariff.
So here's my strategy:
1️⃣Choose items shipped from the US with free shipping
2️⃣Opt for products labeled 『Brand+』 (indicating genuine authenticity)
3️⃣Purchase during sales using the most generous discount coupons available
Following the above three points, the picture shares the items I bought➡️

Those look like authentic garbage
i learned this the hard way lol.. always check where it’s shipping from before getting excited about a “deal” 🙄 those surprise import fees can totally ruin what looked like a bargain.
Your definition of authentic seems to be ” actually exists and is not a scam”… If that’s your only criteria, then nobody can really help you.
Thanks Chat, I hate it.
