What Deals and Discounts Does AliExpress Offer?

AliExpress runs several types of promotions that work differently from each other. Understanding which is which helps you get the best price on any given order.

AliExpress Promo Codes and Coupon Codes

AliExpress promo codes — also referred to as coupon codes, discount codes, or voucher codes — are entered at checkout to reduce your order total. On AliExpress, there are two distinct types of codes worth knowing about:

Platform-wide codes are issued by AliExpress itself and typically apply to a minimum order amount across eligible categories. These are the codes most commonly listed on coupon sites, including this page. One platform code can usually be used per order.

Seller coupons are issued by individual stores within AliExpress and apply only to products from that specific seller. You collect these from the seller's shop page, and they are often triggered by order quantity or spend amount. Seller coupons can typically be combined with a platform-wide promo code, allowing you to stack discounts on the same order.

When an active AliExpress promo code is available on this page, it will be listed above with its conditions clearly stated. We update this page weekly to ensure codes are current.

New User Welcome Deals

If you have never placed an order on AliExpress before, the new user welcome offer is the best entry point. AliExpress regularly provides first-time shoppers with welcome discount codes worth between $3 and $12 off an initial order, depending on the active campaign. Some welcome deals also include free shipping on the first order or heavily discounted items in a dedicated new user section.

Welcome deals are activated automatically when you sign up for a new AliExpress account and browse the new user section. They are not available to existing account holders and cannot be applied using a different email address on an existing device — AliExpress tracks device history as well as account history. If you are a genuine first-time shopper, check the new user section of the AliExpress app or website before placing your first order, as the welcome discounts are often the steepest available on the platform.

AliExpress Choice — Free Shipping and Faster Delivery

AliExpress Choice is a programme introduced by AliExpress to highlight products that meet a higher standard for pricing, delivery speed, and buyer protection. Products tagged as "Choice" ship from local warehouses in certain regions or are prioritised through faster shipping routes, which can reduce delivery times noticeably compared to standard AliExpress shipping.

For Ghanaian shoppers, the most practical benefit of AliExpress Choice is free shipping on eligible orders of $10 or more. If you are shopping for smaller items — accessories, beauty products, household goods, clothing — filtering your search to Choice products is a straightforward way to avoid paying separate shipping fees on multiple items. During Choice Day, which runs from the 1st to the 7th of each month, Choice products receive additional discounts on top of their regular pricing.

Seller Coupons and Coin Rewards

Beyond platform codes, AliExpress has two additional savings mechanisms worth using regularly.

Seller coupons are available on most store pages within AliExpress. Visit a seller's shop, look for the "Get Coupon" option, and collect it before adding items to your cart. These coupons are often percentage-based (5–15% off) and apply automatically at checkout when your order meets the minimum threshold.

AliExpress Coins are earned through activity on the AliExpress app — checking in daily, participating in games, and shopping during promotional periods. Coins can be redeemed for discounts on eligible items through the Coin Channel or applied on specific products marked as coin deals. While coins alone won't produce large savings, combining them with a seller coupon and a platform promo code can stack to a meaningful reduction on a single order.

Major Sale Events on AliExpress

AliExpress runs a year-round calendar of sales events, several of which offer the platform's deepest discounts. If you are planning a larger purchase, it is worth timing it around these events rather than buying at full price.

11.11 Global Shopping Festival (November 11) — AliExpress's largest sale of the year, aligned with Singles' Day. Discounts across the platform can reach up to 90% on selected items, and the event typically runs for several days around November 11 with a warm-up period starting from November 8. This is when platform-wide promo codes, seller coupons, and coin deals can all be combined for maximum savings.

AliExpress Anniversary Sale (March) — The second major sale of the year, typically held in March to mark AliExpress's founding. Discounts are comparable to 11.11 in scope and this is one of the best times to buy electronics, computing accessories, and home goods.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday (November) — AliExpress runs its own Black Friday campaign alongside 11.11, with deals extending into late November and Cyber Monday. Electronics and tech accessories tend to see the strongest discounts during this period.

Choice Day (1st–7th of every month) — A monthly recurring event focused on AliExpress Choice products. Discounts typically reach up to 60–70% on eligible items, with free shipping on qualifying orders. For regular AliExpress shoppers, timing orders to coincide with Choice Day at the start of each month is a reliable way to save without waiting for a major sale.

12.12 Sale (December 12) — A seasonal shopping event with deals on gifts, home goods, and fashion, positioned between Black Friday and Christmas.

How to Use an AliExpress Coupon Code

Applying a promo code or coupon code on AliExpress follows a straightforward process, though the exact location of the code field varies slightly depending on whether you are on the app or the website.

1. Browse AliExpress and add your chosen items to your cart
2. Proceed to checkout
3. On the order summary page, look for the "Enter coupon code" or "Promo code" field — it appears below your item list
4. Paste or type your AliExpress coupon code exactly as shown and click Apply
5. Confirm that the discount has been applied to your order total before proceeding
6. Complete your payment

Combining codes: You can typically use one platform-wide promo code alongside one seller coupon per order. If you have collected a seller coupon from a store page, it will usually apply automatically at checkout alongside any platform code you enter manually. Coins are redeemed separately through the Coin Channel before checkout.

If your AliExpress promo code isn't working, check the following:

• Does your order meet the minimum spend requirement? Most AliExpress codes require a minimum basket value — commonly $15, $30, or $80, depending on the offer.
• Is the code restricted to specific categories? An electronics code may not apply to fashion items.
• Is the code for new users only? If you have ordered from AliExpress before, a first-order code will not apply to your account.
• Has the code expired or been fully redeemed? Some codes have a usage limit across all shoppers, not just per account.
• Are you entering the code in the correct field? On AliExpress, platform codes and seller coupons are applied in different places. Make sure you are using the right field for each type.

Shipping AliExpress Orders to Ghana

AliExpress ships to Ghana, with delivery available to Accra, Kumasi, Tema, Takoradi, Tamale, and other locations across the country. Delivery time and cost vary depending on the shipping method chosen by the seller and your location in Ghana.

Typical delivery windows to Ghana:

• AliExpress Standard Shipping — Usually 15 to 30 business days. Free on many listings, but slower. Hands off to Ghana Post or a local courier for final-mile delivery.
• AliExpress Choice Shipping — Typically 7 to 15 business days for eligible products. Faster, and free on orders above $10. Recommended for most orders where speed matters.
• Express shipping (DHL, FedEx, UPS) — 5 to 10 business days. Significantly more expensive, but reliable and fully tracked. Worth considering for higher-value orders or time-sensitive purchases.

These windows represent typical delivery times after the seller dispatches the order, which itself can take 1 to 3 business days. Delivery during major sale events like 11.11 or Black Friday may take longer due to higher order volumes.

Delivery to your door vs. collection: Most AliExpress orders to Ghana are delivered to the address you provide at checkout. For areas outside major cities, delivery reliability can vary between carriers. If you are in a location where your address is not straightforward to find, use a clear landmark description in the address field to help the courier.

Tracking your order: AliExpress provides a tracking number for most shipments. You can track your order directly through the AliExpress app or website. If your package shows "Arrived at Destination Country" but stops updating for more than two weeks, it is usually held at customs or awaiting processing by Ghana Post. Contact the local post office or the carrier directly rather than waiting — they can confirm whether the package is available for collection or requires additional documentation.

Will I Pay Customs Duties on My AliExpress Order?

This is one of the most common questions Ghanaian shoppers have about AliExpress, and the honest answer is: it depends on the value and nature of what you are ordering.

How Ghanaian Customs Works for International Parcels

Ghana's customs authority (Ghana Revenue Authority) applies import duties and taxes on goods entering the country. In practice, not every AliExpress parcel is inspected or assessed for duties — particularly smaller, lower-value packages. However, this is not guaranteed, and higher-value orders are more likely to attract attention at customs.

Ghana does not have a widely publicised de minimis threshold (a minimum value below which goods are automatically exempt from import duties) in the same way some countries do. This means that in principle, any imported goods can be subject to duties, though small personal-use parcels below a certain value often pass through without issue in practice.

What This Means When You Shop

For low-value orders (typically below $50): Most personal-use parcels in this range pass through Ghanaian customs without being assessed for duties. This is not a rule — it is a practical reality of parcel volume — and it can change. Do not factor in "definitely no duties" when planning a budget on even low-value orders.

For medium to high-value orders (above $100): There is a meaningful likelihood that your parcel will be assessed for import duties and VAT. Ghana charges import duties that vary by product category, plus VAT at 15%. For electronics, the combined duty rate can be significant. Factor this in before placing a large order — the item price plus duties plus shipping may exceed what you would pay for a comparable product locally.

For bulk or commercial-looking orders: If you are ordering multiple units of the same product, even if they are for personal use, customs may treat the shipment as a commercial import and apply commercial import duties. If you regularly order in bulk from AliExpress, it is worth understanding the relevant HS codes and duty rates for your product categories.

Practical Steps to Manage Customs Risk

• Check the declared value on your order. AliExpress sellers typically declare the actual purchase price on the customs form. Some buyers ask sellers to declare a lower value, but this is not advisable — misdeclaration is a customs violation, and if the parcel is inspected and the declared value does not match the contents, it can be seized or returned.
• Use express shipping for high-value orders. Courier services like DHL handle customs documentation more efficiently and can guide you through the duty payment process faster than standard postal channels.
• Keep an eye on your tracking. If your package is held at customs, act quickly. Customs authorities will typically notify you or the courier, but delays in responding can result in storage fees or the parcel being returned to the sender.
• AliExpress Buyer Protection does not cover customs seizure. If a parcel is seized or returned to the sender because import duties were not paid, AliExpress's buyer protection policy generally does not provide a refund. Check seller policies on customs issues before placing a large order.

VAT on AliExpress Purchases

AliExpress does not collect Ghanaian VAT at checkout. If VAT is assessed on your order at the Ghanaian border, it will be collected by the customs authority or the delivering carrier before the parcel is released to you. Budget for this on any order where duties are a realistic possibility.

Payment Options for AliExpress in Ghana

AliExpress accepts a limited range of payment methods compared to local Ghanaian platforms. Understanding what works before you try to check out saves frustration.

Accepted payment methods for Ghanaian shoppers:

• Visa and Mastercard debit or credit cards — The primary payment method for most Ghanaian AliExpress shoppers. Most Ghanaian bank-issued Visa and Mastercard debit cards work on AliExpress, though some banks may block international transactions by default. If your card is declined, contact your bank to confirm that international online purchases are enabled on your account before assuming the card is incompatible.
• PayPal — Accepted on AliExpress and a reliable alternative if you have a verified PayPal account linked to a Ghanaian bank card. PayPal adds an extra layer of buyer protection on top of AliExpress's own policies.

What does not currently work on AliExpress:

• MTN Mobile Money (MoMo)
• Vodafone Cash / Telecel Cash
• AirtelTigo Money
• Bank transfer
• Cash on delivery

If you do not currently have a Visa or Mastercard debit card, obtaining one is a prerequisite for shopping on AliExpress. Most Ghanaian commercial banks issue Visa debit cards that work for international online purchases. Confirm with your bank that the card is enabled for international e-commerce transactions before attempting checkout.

Tips to Save More on AliExpress When Shopping from Ghana

Shopping on AliExpress from Ghana involves a few extra considerations beyond just finding the lowest price. These habits will help you get genuine value from the platform.

Check this page before every order. We update available AliExpress promo codes and coupon codes weekly. Even when no platform-wide code is available, checking here takes less than a minute and could reduce your order total if a current code applies to your category.

Collect seller coupons before adding to cart. Visit the shop page of any seller you plan to buy from and collect their store coupon before proceeding. These are free to collect, have no commitment attached, and can be combined with a platform code at checkout.

Use AliExpress Choice items for free shipping. Filtering your search to Choice products ensures you get free shipping on orders above $10, faster delivery times, and stronger buyer protection — all without needing a code.

Time large purchases around 11.11, the Anniversary Sale, and Choice Day. If you are planning to buy electronics, a phone accessory, or any higher-value item, waiting for one of these events can save you considerably more than any standard promo code. The 11.11 sale in November and the Anniversary Sale in March are the deepest discount periods of the year.

Check seller ratings specifically for shipping to Ghana. Before ordering from a new seller, read the reviews and look for feedback from buyers in West Africa or similar regions. If multiple reviewers mention long delays, lost packages, or customs problems, consider buying the same product from a different seller with a stronger shipping record.

Factor in shipping costs and potential customs duties before buying. The listed price on AliExpress is not your final cost. Add the shipping fee, and on higher-value orders, budget for potential import duties. A product that appears to cost GH₵200 may cost GH₵280 or more by the time it arrives, depending on shipping method and customs assessment. Compare the all-in estimate with what the same product costs locally before deciding AliExpress is the better deal.

Use the AliExpress app for extra savings. Some promo codes are app-exclusive, and the app gives you access to daily coin check-ins, app-only flash deals, and notifications when items on your wishlist drop in price. Download the AliExpress app and add frequently-considered items to your wishlist to track price movements over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does AliExpress ship to Ghana?

Yes, AliExpress ships to Ghana. Most sellers on the platform offer at least one shipping option to Ghana, and many offer multiple choices including standard, Choice, and express delivery. Delivery is available in Accra, Kumasi, Tema, Takoradi, Tamale, and other locations across all regions. Check the shipping options and estimated delivery dates shown on each product listing before ordering, as these vary by seller.

How long does AliExpress delivery take to Ghana?

Delivery time depends on the shipping method selected. AliExpress Choice shipping typically takes 7 to 15 business days to Ghana and is recommended for most orders due to its balance of speed and cost. Standard AliExpress shipping is slower, usually 15 to 30 business days, but is often free. Express courier options like DHL or FedEx deliver in 5 to 10 business days but at a significantly higher shipping cost. All timelines begin after the seller dispatches the order, which can take an additional 1 to 3 business days. Customs processing can add further time, particularly for higher-value shipments.

Can I use a promo code with a seller coupon on AliExpress?

Yes, in most cases. AliExpress allows you to combine one platform-wide promo code with one seller coupon on the same order. Seller coupons are collected from individual store pages and apply only to that seller's products. Platform codes are entered in the promo code field at checkout. If you have also accumulated AliExpress Coins, these can be redeemed separately on eligible products. Stacking all three — a platform code, a seller coupon, and coins — is possible during major sale events and produces the largest combined discount.

What is AliExpress Choice?

AliExpress Choice is a product programme that identifies items with competitive pricing, faster shipping, and stronger buyer protection. Choice products typically ship from local warehouses in various regions or through prioritised shipping routes, resulting in shorter delivery times compared to standard AliExpress listings. Free shipping applies to Choice orders above $10. During Choice Day — which runs from the 1st to the 7th of each month — Choice products receive additional discounts. Filtering your AliExpress search to Choice products is a practical way to find faster, more reliable orders without paying extra for express shipping.

Will I pay customs duties on my AliExpress order in Ghana?

Possibly, depending on the value of your order. Low-value personal-use parcels often pass through Ghanaian customs without being assessed for duties, but this is not guaranteed and is not a published exemption threshold. Higher-value orders — particularly those above $100 — carry a meaningful risk of customs assessment, which can include import duties (rates vary by category) plus VAT at 15%. Factor potential duties into your total cost before placing any order above $50. AliExpress Buyer Protection does not cover goods seized or returned because customs duties were not paid.

What payment methods work for AliExpress in Ghana?

AliExpress accepts Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards, and PayPal, for shoppers in Ghana. Mobile money services including MTN MoMo, Vodafone Cash, and AirtelTigo Money are not currently accepted on AliExpress. If you are paying by Ghanaian bank card, confirm with your bank that international online transactions are enabled on your account before attempting checkout, as some banks disable this by default.

Why isn't my AliExpress coupon code working?

The most common reasons are: the order does not meet the minimum spend requirement, the code applies only to specific product categories, the code is for new users only, or the code has expired or reached its usage limit. Check each of these conditions before assuming the code is invalid. Also confirm you are entering the code in the platform promo code field and not in the seller coupon section — these are separate fields on the checkout page. If all conditions are met and the code still does not apply, it may have expired since it was last checked.

What is the AliExpress 11.11 sale and is it worth waiting for?

The 11.11 Global Shopping Festival, held on and around November 11, is AliExpress's largest annual sale event. Discounts can reach up to 90% on selected items, with platform-wide promo codes, seller coupons, and coin deals all active simultaneously. A warm-up period typically begins on November 8 with additional offers unlocking on November 11. If you are planning to buy electronics, tech accessories, home goods, or fashion items at a higher price point, timing your purchase to coincide with 11.11 can produce significantly larger savings than any standard promo code. The AliExpress Anniversary Sale in March is the closest equivalent in the first half of the year.
