Sometimes, a product on Zendrop may appear to be slightly more expensive than AliExpress. In almost every scenario, AliExpress uses misleading pricing tactics to look cheaper. Here's what's actually going on.
When you first look at the pricing on Zendrop, and compare that to the pricing you see on AliExpress, you may see that the pricing on Zendrop appears higher than the pricing on AliExpress, but why is that? First of all, when you go to search for a specific product on AliExpress, you'll be presented with dozens of the same product from multiple suppliers (see the example image below). It's nearly impossible to know which supplier is going to provide you with the best quality product, and even more impossible to determine what the shipping times are going to be like unless both are tested.
Our team quality-checks every product before it ships, to the same standard every time with no damage or defects. Our shipping times are consistent with the averages we share publicly.
Let's compare the actual cost of a product on Zendrop vs. AliExpress.
The Zendrop price looks higher at first. But the shipping costs tell a different story.
Now, for one example, the Zendrop product cost for this particular product is $5.65, and the Regular Shipping (10 - 15 days) cost is a flat rate of $2.00 which equates to $7.65. For AliExpress, even at the lowest cost of $1.99 for the product cost, and a similar shipping time ($27.15), the total equates to $29.14. That's a massive difference in overall cost, and this is hidden by AliExpress within the additional shipping times that you can select prior to purchasing from them.
Zendrop is almost always the cheaper option overall, with higher-quality products and more reliable shipping times.
