If you are afraid of waiting all day for the delivery person to arrive and for the package to finally arrive the moment you leave, you may be interested in using AliExpress Pickup.
What responds to this name is the collection points where you can ask for AliExpress packages to arrive instead of at home. They are the perfect solution for those who spend much time away from home and don’t want to risk running out of their order.
This alternative is becoming very popular in other online stores such as Amazon, but you also have it at your disposal in AliExpress.
REQUIREMENTS TO USE ALIEXPRESS PICKUP
Although it may be a very interesting option, the truth is that not all the orders we make on AliExpress can be taken to a collection point. For you to select this option, the price of the products you have purchased on the marketplace must be less than 22 euros. This price must be the total of the order, including shipping costs, although the reality is that most of the orders that give you this possibility have free or at least cheaper shipping costs.
In addition, for an order to arrive with this method, all the products you have requested must be from the same seller.
If you want to purchase products from different sellers and they arrive through AliExpress Pickup, the only solution is to make several different orders, one for each of the sellers you will buy from. But if you choose this option for a product in which shipping is free, it may be more economically profitable for you to take them home.
HOW TO ORDER A PRODUCT TO ARRIVE AT ALIEXPRESS PICKUP
If you want one of the orders you have placed to arrive at one of the AliExpress Pickup lockers, the process is quite simple. When paying, when you give the address to which the products have to arrive, you will have to choose the option Collection point.
Next, you will be able to see a map with all the collection points where you can request that your order in AliExpress be delivered to you.
What we know as Amazon Pickup are lockers like the ones you see in the photo where you can pick up your order with a code you will receive by email. But small shops also act as collection points where you can go for your order.
You should remember that the collection options if you live in a big city will always be more than if you live in a small place.
ADVANTAGES OF ALIEXPRESS PICKUP
The main advantage of this delivery method is that you will not have to be aware of when the courier will arrive at your home.
This is ideal if, at the time you expect to receive a package, you plan to leave the house or spend time outside. And it is also perfect if you work and there are many hours when no one is home, especially if you cannot ask for the package to arrive at the office.
Although, at first, it may seem much more comfortable to sit and wait for a package to be brought to you rather than go out looking for it, the truth is that this is not always the case. If you pick up your AliExpress order at a locker, you can choose the moment you go to pick it up, while if someone comes to take it from you, you usually don’t know what time it will be, which can be a problem for making your plans.
In addition, sometimes the shipping costs are cheaper or even free if we pick it up at one of these points.
