How to determine the same shipping costs according to AliExpress

Product Development & Sourcing

Topic summary

Goal: Mirror AliExpress supplier shipping costs in a Shopify dropshipping store (user uses DSers) so buyers see country-specific rates matching AliExpress.

Key points:

  • Where to get rates: AliExpress product page shows shipping costs by method and destination; some listings include a shipping calculator based on weight/dimensions. Methods noted: AliExpress Standard Shipping (≈15–45 days) and AliExpress Premium Shipping (≈7–15 days).
  • Shopify setup: Settings > Shipping and delivery > Manage rates. Create shipping zones per country/region and manually input rates to match the supplier’s AliExpress charges.
  • Automation options: Some dropshipping apps can sync AliExpress shipping costs automatically; verify if DSers or alternatives support this for your products and destinations.
  • Caveat: AliExpress shipping rates change; regularly review and update store rates to stay aligned with supplier pricing.

Outcome/status:

  • Practical path provided (manual zones/rates; consider app-based syncing). No definitive confirmation of a fully automated DSers solution; discussion remains partly open.

Hi @mandclaire ,

To determine shipping costs on AliExpress, including estimates provided by suppliers, you can follow these steps:

  1. Product Page: When you view a product on AliExpress, the shipping cost is usually displayed on the product page. This cost can vary based on the shipping method selected (e.g., AliExpress Standard Shipping, AliExpress Premium Shipping).

  2. Shipping Calculator: Some suppliers provide a shipping cost calculator on their product pages. You can input your destination, and the calculator will estimate the shipping cost based on the item’s weight and dimensions.

  3. AliExpress Standard Shipping: This method is cost-effective and includes tracking. The estimated delivery time is typically 15-45 days.

  4. AliExpress Premium Shipping: This is a faster option with an estimated delivery time of 7-15 days. It is more expensive but offers quicker delivery.

Hope this helps you to get a clear estimate of the shipping costs for your products on AliExpress.

Shopify allows you to set up shipping zones and rates. Here’s how you can do it on Shopify:

  • Go to your Shopify admin panel.
  • Navigate to Settings > Shipping and delivery.
  • Under Shipping, click Manage rates.
  • Create shipping zones for different countries or regions.
  • For each zone, manually input the shipping rates based on what your AliExpress supplier charges for shipping to those locations.

Some dropshipping tools or apps integrate with AliExpress and can automatically sync shipping costs. Please note that shipping costs on AliExpress can change, so regularly check and update your shipping rates to ensure they match what is displayed on AliExpress.
