If you have ever used AliExpress, you will know very well that this platform is a portal where we will almost always be dealing with different sellers. As you can imagine, all these sellers will send us their products individually, unless we use combined delivery. This function, as its name indicates, allows us to receive products from all sellers in one packagesomething that, as we will see just below, is very useful.
Advantages of Combined Delivery
It is true that the combined delivery function is not available on all the products that AliExpress offers, but it is always advisable to use it as much as possible, since doing so brings with it the following advantages:
- Buy several products and pay a single shipment
This is the main advantage. If we purchase several products and select the combined delivery, we will only have to worry about paying for one shipment. In addition, this also greatly simplifies the process, since we will only have a tracking number to worry about.
Coming from China, all purchases we make through AliExpress go through a customs process. It is true that there are usually no problems with AliExpress shipments, but sometimes it can happen that one product among several that we order never arrives at our home. With the combined delivery we make sure that all the packages or products are in the same packaging, something that also facilitates this process.
- much faster delivery
When we choose to place an order by selecting combined delivery, we will also use one of the most popular types of shipping that AliExpress has (as long as the purchase is more than 6 euros). This, known as Standard Shipping, works great, as sellers they deposit their products in an AliExpress logistics center and it is this one that is in charge of the shipment. In the case of combined delivery, it is the same platform that is responsible for the unification of your order.
This is how this type of delivery works
As we have said a little above, combined delivery is quite advantageous, but unfortunately not all sellers that we can find on AliExpress offer it. Despite this, the truth is that it is very easy to search for what we want within AliExpress excluding all those vendors that do not offer this possibility.
Let’s say, for example, that we want to search for something related to cooking. In that case, what we will do is write the word “kitchen” in the search engine, and this will give us dozens of results. To limit the search and that only those that have the combined delivery available appear, we will only have to check the box that you can see in the following image.
Once this is done, only all the products that offer combined delivery will appear on the screen. It will be enough to add to the cart those that interest us, and make the payment, yes, we will have to make all the products at once. This process is exactly the same if we want to buy other products such as sports or swimwear, as long as they have the combined delivery available.
When we have everything we want to buy in the cart, we can easily check if we have chosen options that support combined delivery. To do this, we will only have to make sure that the following appears in the window:
Returns and cancellations
As we have already told you several times in this article, the AliExpress combined purchase has several advantages, but it also has a couple of details that we must take into account. AliExpress return policy allows us to return any product for free, but this is a bit different with this type of delivery. The return will be free for a single product, so in case we want to return something We will have no choice but to return everything.
Canceling an order or a product within the delivery is also something to keep in mind, and this procedure should be done as soon as possible. Of course, if what we want to do is, for example, change a t-shirt in size or color, the best thing we can do is contact the seller so you don’t have to cancel and redo the entire order.
