This has not been my experience at all, delivery is almost always free for purchases over something like $20.

You can forget entirely about returns though, zero chance to get one of those to work

    There's not even anything-close to a 100% chance you will even get your items.

    I have ordered many things from Ali express, and sometimes the sellers cancel the order because they can't fulfill it but I've never been charged for something that didn't arrive. I've also never bought something expensive enough that it would be a problem if it doesn't arrive, as I know it's just a marketplace where I'm sure scammers exist.

    We must be shopping for different kinds of things, though I have exaggerated the shipping costs, I find it hard to work out what the cheapest item is. I have also commonly found what someone else mentioned, that they have different items for each "colour", and have something cheap on one colour and the thing you actually want for a lot more on another colour. You search for the thing you want, and it comes up in the search showing the price for the thing you don't want because the system things they are different colours of the same thing when it's not.
