5 Steps to Getting a Refund From AliExpress

After writing dozens of refund emails to AliExpress I have found a formula that works almost every time. Let me break it down step by step.

Refund

Step 1: Use a clear subject line like Refund Request - Order Number. Agents scan emails quickly. Make yours easy to categorize.

Step 2: State your request in the first sentence. Do not bury the lead.

Step 3: Attach evidence. Screenshots of the problem, policy pages, receipts. Make it easy for them to say yes.

Step 4: Follow up after 5 days if no response. Be polite but persistent.

Step 5: If denied, ask for escalation. First-line agents have limited authority. Supervisors can make exceptions.

I built LaimRefund to automate this whole process. It researches AliExpress policies and consumer laws and writes a professional appeal in seconds. But the manual approach works if you follow these steps.
