In last year AliBaba Group recorded $9.3 billion sales in just 24-hours during 11.11 Sale. This year AliExpress also started their pre-sale program to get ready for 11.11 sale 2015. The customers are getting coins by shaking their smartphone and playing Flip game by using those coins to get seller coupons or coins. Thousands of coupons have been grabbed by the customers and only few are left. There are different coupons which can be used on different price range of shopping.
If you are planning to buy from AliExpress on upcoming sale than be sure what amount you are paying. In original what the seller do is, they increase the prices of products and than show reduce or fake prices as for sale. But in original the price didn’t changed and the new user feel too much difference in price and they get fooled by the sellers. Let suppose the price of product are $5 and they increase the base price and reduce for sale. If the product cost $5 than they increase the price let suppose $10 and than show $5 for 11.11 sale. Those who are new to AliExpress thinks that they are actually getting the lowest price but in actual they are paying the original cost.
The majority of seller’s are doing and their are only few who originally take sale as serious and facilitate the customers. But to check who is original and who isn’t, you must check the prices and add products into your wishlist before sale time and note the price and you can feel the difference, how these Chinese seller’s are cheating you and showing fake prices to attract customers in the name of 11-11 sale. If you use coupons and pay more price of products than in the end you save nothing.

I agree! Just purchased hair from two different sellers 3 weeks ago and the price of hair has tripled!! I knew it had to be for the 11-11 sale to fool customers into thinking they are getting a huge discount
yes... but there are few, those are shifting bonus to customers, but very few.
i also noticed this! but a question: do the prices go back up to the inflated prices after 11.11 or do they stay at the "discounted" prices? thanks!
after sale the orignal price would be shown, as they were.But their are genuine sellers whose price might go up after sale.
I also noticed it and got mad at them. In fact I've got around 50 items in my wishlist and I was hoping to buy a few during current sale. To my surprise, the price actually was increased on ALL of them, usually around 10%. Even if you use coupons you are not getting the price down to the original level! What a SCAM!
Yes, you need to be very careful if you want to save some. Otherwise no use of it.
Well I am not agree with you writer at all, As in local market you should open your eyes, so you should be mostly familiar the prices with the items, From last I was planning to buy some electronic stuff from Aliexpress and definitely at 11 11 festival I got all these in very low price even no where I can buy these at this price even local market or any other website. Yes wearing stuff is diffidently expensive as compare to here local prices also keep in mind these seller including shipping charges in item prices....
Yes, You have right to disagree.
