My name is Cyril, and I am a freebie lover.
Kirill Sozinov
internet freebie finder
I do not like to risk money, so I am suspicious: there are too many chances to run into low-quality or useless goods. Another thing is when low-quality and useless goods are given free of charge.
If you also like to go to the post office for free parcels, I have something to tell you.
I found three ways to get a freebie in Aliexpress itself - without cheating sellers, inviting friends, or participating in various contests there:
- Participate in drawings in the "Freebies and Reports" section.
- Try to snatch goods for Aliexpress coins and 1 cent.
- Exchange coins for merchant coupons.
Section "Freebies and Reports"
On the home page mobile application"Aliexpress" has a section "Freebies and Reports". Initially, I expected to get most of the freebies here, but everything turned out to be not so simple.
You can submit two applications per day for goods from the distribution. Aliexpress writes that the chances of winning depend on my activity: the number of orders, the length of comments, photos, ratings.
0 R
you will pay for the product from the giveaway if you win. But the chance of winning is very small
But even if you write meter-long comments and arrange photo shoots for each review, the chances of winning are scanty. I explain why. Here's an example: raffle off a $16 T-shirt.
1083 applicants for 6 products - the chances of winning are about 0.5%. We have the right to two applications per day - the probability increases to 1%, that is, you can win once every hundred days. But this is only the beginning of the distribution - by the evening there will be several times more applicants, the chances will decrease.
For a year of playing with short breaks, I never won anything.
Goods for coins + 1 cent
Coins are the internal currency of Aliexpress, which can be obtained in the mobile application if you play games or perform simple tasks, for example, log into the application every day.
You can buy some goods with coins by paying 1 cent. Products for this promotion are located in the "Mobile bonuses" tab in the mobile application, at the bottom of the page.
Goods are updated at 10:00 Moscow time and scatter in 3-5 seconds. If the product is expensive or there are several hundred copies on sale, it will last 10-30 seconds. To have time to order at least something in this section, there are two options:
- have the fastest hands in the entire Wild West;
- create a bot that will send the goods to the cart.
I didn’t have either one or the other, so I couldn’t snatch goods for 1 cent. But it turned out for the son of my mother's friend. He said that you need to either go to the product pages in the distribution 1 second before the start of the distribution, or go out 5 seconds before the start, wait 6-7 seconds, enter the section as quickly as possible and order the desired product. The delivery address must be filled in in advance. But I still chose the product too slowly and did not have time to send it to the basket.
0,01 $
and coins "Aliexpress" you will give for goods from the section "For US $ 0.01". Of course, if you manage to place an order
I learned about bots relatively recently. On the Internet, you can find a script for a quick order in the "Gaga-dials" section, but there are not always discounts there, and there is no absolute freebie. Under my requests, I did not find a bot. Yes, and unworthy of bots and scripts of noble lovers of freebies.
Sellers Coupons
The first thing you will be offered is an exchange for Aliexpress special coupons. Don't even look at them: they offer a $2 discount on purchases from $8-12 - and usually the price of the product is initially too high. Scroll below - there you will see the exchange for sellers' coupons:
2.63 R
I paid for the toy with a coupon. Its original price is 68.34 R
We act like this: we are looking for coupons for $ 1-2 for orders from $ 1.01 or $ 2.01, respectively. But this is not the whole quest: in order to really buy goods for a penny, you need to find something in the seller’s store that costs up to $1.05 or up to $2.05, depending on the coupon value, and check if delivery is free. If there are no products suitable for these conditions, we do not take the coupon and look further.
width="2354" height="1124" class=" outline-bordered" style="max-width: 1177.0px; height: auto" data-bordered="true"> Came out at R 2.63. In my opinion, it can be considered a freebie 
I didn’t even buy a few items with coupons even for 4 cents, because I can’t imagine how they could even theoretically be useful to me.
In this article, we will give you some tips on what to do in the process of receiving a package with your order. And how to avoid possible troubles.
Receiving a parcel in the mail
Often, in the description of the goods, sellers indicate the weight of the parcel at random. Therefore, there is almost always a difference between the weight of the parcel upon import (which is displayed on the Russian Post website) and the weight indicated by the seller. For this reason, you should not panic. This is fine.
But, pay attention to the fact that the actual weight, upon receipt of the parcel, must match the weight indicated in the notice or in the status of the track number (the weight of the parcel when passing through customs). The postal employee must weigh your package to show you its real weight, as well as give you the opportunity to inspect the package for the integrity of the package.
In the event that there are signs of opening the parcel, the absence of a customs declaration or a special sticker with the address, as well as a discrepancy in weight of more than 20 grams, the postal worker must call the senior shift and open the parcel in front of you. If a substitution or damage to the goods is detected, as well as the facts of theft, two Acts must be drawn up in 2 copies (form 51): “External Inspection Act” and “Investment Act”.
At the same time, the parcel must be refused due to the substitution / damage to the attachment, which is noted in the Act. NOTICE WE DO NOT SIGN.
You will attach this act to the dispute (dispute) on AliExpress.
Parcel opening
If you open the package at home, it is better to shoot this process on video. It is better to mount the camera on a tripod and shoot everything in one stream without pauses and interruptions, and so that the package is always in the frame.
During the shooting, try to show the general condition of the package with all stickers, weight and track number. Each item in the package is shown from all sides. If the product requires assembly, then we assemble it on camera to show the presence of all parts and performance after assembly. If the product can be turned on, we also try it, make sure that everything works, if there is a marriage, then we immediately demonstrate it. This video shooting will help you out if your parcel is not what you expected to see or the product is defective / non-working.
Do not rush to confirm the receipt of electronics or other complex equipment, even if it works properly at first. Test its operation as actively as possible, before the order confirmation timer expires.
If you find a marriage, theft, incompleteness or damage to your goods, then immediately open a dispute (dispute) attaching photo / video evidence.

Therefore, it is not surprising that inexperienced users who want to place an order on AliExpress want to know how to receive a package ordered from Aliexpress in the mail.
How to find out that the parcel from Aliexpress is already in the mail
Often, if the delivery of goods is carried out by the Russian Post, then an employee of this state postal operator brings a notice of its arrival to the recipient of the parcel. If the person is not at home, then the postal worker leaves this notification in the mailbox of the recipient of the parcel.
At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the work of the Russian Post, so the recipient does not always receive a corresponding notification that he can pick up his order from the post office.
In this case, to obtain information about the location of the parcel, you can use special Internet resources, the Aliexpress website or the branded mobile application of this online trading platform.
It is easy to find out where the purchased goods are located through special services. To do this, enter the track number of the shipment in the search field, after which the system will provide detailed information about its movement and receipt at the customer's post office.
As for using the AliExpress website, in this case you will need to go to the user account, go to the "My orders" menu item, and then find the necessary order. On the page that opens, the movement of the departure will be described, including the time of its arrival at the post office.

To receive the parcel after it arrives at the post office, you need to take your passport or other official document, confirming the identity of the recipient of the parcel. The need to present a passport is due to the fact that an employee of the postal operator must personally make sure that in front of him is the person for whom the parcel was issued and who was supposed to receive it.
Inspection and receipt of the parcel
When receiving a parcel from Aliexpress, it is better to inspect it at the post office in the presence of an employee postal service. This is due to the fact that due to the specifics of the work of some sellers working on AliExpress, as well as the imperfections of the Russian Post, various incidents may arise related to damage to the contents of the parcel or theft.
Important! At the same time, it is recommended to shoot a video of the unpacking process in order to have actual proof of your innocence in the event of an accident. controversial situation with the seller or postal employees. If this is not done, then in the event of problems, the buyer will have nothing to present to the unscrupulous seller, which will greatly complicate the process of obtaining financial compensation as a result of opening a dispute.
Is it necessary to have a notice?
Today, thanks to changes in the customer service policy, people have the opportunity to receive a parcel without notification if a person managed to obtain information about the fact of the arrival of the item at the post office using third-party web resources or programs.
Therefore, filling out the notice of the Russian Post is also optional. This is due to the fact that in any case, the courier service employee is obliged to issue the parcel to the recipient upon presentation of their passport and after the correct execution of documents confirming the fact that the parcel was transferred to the addressee.
The need to fill out documents confirming the receipt of the shipment is due to the fact that, in this way, the post office and its employees receive documentary confirmation of the transfer of the parcel, which eliminates the likelihood of various kinds of complex conflict situations.
What to do if the item is damaged or incomplete
After receiving notification or information from other sources that the parcel from Aliexpress has arrived at the addressee's post office, it is recommended to take a camera or a phone with a video recording function with you. Also, it would not be superfluous to grab a couple clean sheets paper and a pen for making a claim, in case of unforeseen situations.
The goods should be unpacked directly at the Russian Post office in the presence of its employee. In this case, the postal employee will act as a witness. The entire unpacking process must be filmed. If, as a result, it is found that the goods inside the parcel were damaged or stolen during transportation, then an appropriate act must be drawn up with a claim addressed to the Russian Post.

Receiving parcels from Aliexpress is the most desirable and important part of shopping in this Chinese online store. For experienced buyers, this is nothing complicated, but beginners may have a lot of questions. In this article, you will learn how to receive a parcel from Aliexpress, whether you need to pay for it at the post office and much more.
When receiving a parcel from Aliexpress, do I have to pay?
The main question that worries everyone is - when receiving a parcel from Aliexpress, do I have to pay extra at the post office? No, you don’t need to pay anything extra and it doesn’t matter if you paid for shipping on AliExpress or it was free.
With the exception of this rule only those who make large bulk purchases or expensive purchases for personal use may encounter. For residents of the Russian Federation, there is a monthly limit for duty-free transportation from abroad per person - the weight of parcels should not exceed 31 kg, and total cost goods must be no more than 1000 euros.
Few people buy large sums on Aliexpress. However, if this limit is exceeded, an additional fee will have to be paid. If the weight of the parcels is exceeded, then you will need to pay 4 euros for each exceeded kg. Example: in a month, purchases were made in the amount of 800 euros, with a total weight of 40 kg. In this case, the parcel weight limit was exceeded by 9 kg. The fee will be 9 * 4 = 36 euros.
If the limit on the amount of the goods is exceeded, then you will need to pay a duty in the amount of 30% of the excess amount. Example: in a month, purchases were made in the amount of 1200 euros, with a total weight of 25 kg. In this case, the value limit has been exceeded by 200 euros and the fee will be (200 * 0.3) 60 euros. These limits apply not only to residents of the Russian Federation, but also to all countries. customs union.
However, some customs union countries have more stringent restrictions. For example, in Belarus maximum cost parcels, which is not subject to duties, is only 22 euros. If this amount is exceeded, then 30% of the excess amount will have to be paid. If the total value of the goods is more than 1000 euros, then the duty is already paid in the amount of 60% of the excess amount. There is also an additional fee for customs clearance parcels of 5 euros.
For Ukraine, the total cost of duty-free parcels is 150 euros, and the maximum weight is 50 kg. If this amount is exceeded, it will be necessary to pay a fee of 10% of the amount of excess + VAT, which is 20%, which is charged only on the amount of the fee.
If you are an active Aliexpress buyer, then just count the amount of purchases every month so as not to overpay. But still, these restrictions will not affect many, since most buyers make 5-10 purchases for small amounts every month.
