"AliExpress": similar sites in Russian. "AliExpress": analogue in Russia

Today there are so-called giant stores, which are almost monopolists in their field. These are the largest trade centers, where thousands, hundreds of thousands of items are sold. And to those, no doubt, the store "AliExpress."

Analogue - is it?

Platforms that offer consumers a huge selection of goods (mostly electronics) made in China, it is not difficult to find at all. There are a lot of such today, all of them are engaged in sending goods around the world, mediating between the plant in some province of Guangzhou and the final customer in Russia, for example.

What is also characteristic is the growing popularity of such resources. Each of these portals collects a huge number of buyers. Thousands of people are ready to register for them and make orders. Such "increased demand" for such products is achieved due to a very wide range and low prices, which no analogue can offer.

"AliExpress" in Russia also has a huge number of fans. In general, this platform is extremely popular all over the world.

Order scheme

To buy on the Internet is very simple. To make an order in Chinese shops is even easier. It is enough to enter your address, determine the name and bundling of the goods, specify details of payment, and your parcel will be delivered directly after 3-4 weeks (depending on the method of delivery and the region where you live). Perhaps, the mandatory waiting period is a single minus of Chinese sites. This makes it possible to save on transportation (such stores often mark "free shipping" in the settings), but lose a lot of time to receive.

What would have happened if we could find some solution as to how to speed up the process without increasing the price of shipping services. And users, if you analyze a number of search queries, those consider the possibility of finding an analog instead of "AliExpress." Obviously, it should be a store that is closer, or at least making delivery in faster and cheaper ways. Is there such a service?

Largest shops

Services that could be a substitute for the AliExpress platform are simply not there. At the moment, given the position in the market of the giant "Ali", it is not worthwhile to count on the fact that it can be pressed. This is too large a platform by the standards of any country in the world. Millionth turnover of goods and an ever growing number of customers confirm this.

So does "AliExpress" have a counterpart? From the point of view of the standard, usual purchase (for example, if we want to purchase an inexpensive action camera), there are many similar resources. Find them very easily - many are very popular and in demand. Here is the top three: DealExtreme, TinyDeal, GearBest. These resources, like Ali, sell various goods manufactured in China, which can be ordered anywhere in the world. The prices at them can be similar, but there is one big difference in the model of work of these services and "Ali".

How is "AliExpress" and other

All of the above stores are actually simple online shops. Their administration finds suppliers, signs out with them some agreements and sells the goods on their own behalf. Russian Eldorado and Technosila, for example, are arranged in the same way, but we are talking about Chinese products that are most in demand in Russia, Europe and the West (accessories, electronics, household goods, etc.).

But in this article we are studying a slightly different model, according to which "AliExpress" works. An analogue is much more difficult to find (especially in terms of product volumes). This resource is a platform where the buyer and seller meet. The first one is in search of the goods, which interests him, and the second exposes all the trading positions that he has, for a review. Thus, one can see, for example, the same goods exhibited at different prices on behalf of different factories and factories. Therefore, on AliExpress you can independently choose what interests you.

If the DX analogue can be called "Connected" (roughly speaking), does our "giant" have an analog? "AliExpress" in Russia is somewhat similar to the board of Avito or the resource Tiu. At the latter, by the way, also users are engaged in the search for goods exhibited by vendors-companies.

Specificity of the goods

As you can see, the level of promotion of AliExpress has not yet beaten a single Russian store. Even the quality of goods, as a rule, on the Chinese resource will be higher, and the price will remain more affordable than in the case of the Russian option. Do you need such an analog?

Moreover - all accessories and electronics are produced in China. This means that the Russian analogue of "AliExpress" would sell what came from the Celestial Empire earlier. Then, it is asked, what is the use of looking for analogues in our country? It's easier to buy directly ...

We can say that this is the specificity of the goods sold on the resource "AliExpress." You can create such an analogue in Moscow, but you still have to deliver the products for it, which automatically raises the cost of such things. So, there is no point in this either.

The language barrier

Certainly, certain difficulties in working with AliExpress are experienced by those people who do not speak English. It is on it that there are descriptions in the basic version of the resource. However, there should not be any difficulties with this - the Chinese site also has a "Russian" analog. "AliExpress" has different language versions.

You can automatically translate your headlines using Google Translate. At first glance this may seem like a set of unrelated words, but in fact, after a certain period of time (during which different goods will be ordered), you will become accustomed and begin to understand well what the seller wanted to say.

Descriptions of lots submitted in English, can also be translated into Google Translate (in individual mode). Thus, everything is envisaged, but you simply will not need to look for an online store, an analog of "AliExpress".

Acceleration of delivery

The second, in addition to linguistic, is the question of how you can get your goods faster. And for this there are several ways. Firstly, you can order not free delivery via AirMail, but a more expensive, but fast shipping lot via DHL, EMS or TNT. All these and many other ways will be available in the menu on the product page. The price of transportation will start from 30-40 dollars (depending on the volume of the goods). Then you will receive your parcel within a couple of days.

There is also information for those who are interested in similar sites-analogs. "AliExpress" is the place where dealers are often brokered. They can buy a thing more expensive, but without the need to wait for delivery. Thus, you will remain in the win, as the goods can be received almost on the same day. Then you just need to look for stores that sell what interests you. And do not think about the Chinese AliExpress.

conclusions

So, let's start with the fact that there is no analog of the "Ali" site in principle. All over the world this is the only such kind of site. No matter how hard you try, it's not so easy to find a similar analogue in Russia. "AliExpress" is (in its own way) a unique platform.

But you can solve the problems related to the remoteness of the base, in a different way. For example, use automatic translation of site pages. If you want, you can open the Google translator in parallel and see all the words indicated by the seller. So there is no need to look for an analogue. "AliExpress" in Russian can fully justify your requests.

Finally, another important point is the speed of delivery. To overcome it it is possible - to order through intermediary firms in Russia which already can possess stocks of the goods for the decision of such problems. If you order something not too specific, then this method may be appropriate. Finally, you can always overpay more, but order the goods through the delivery service, which will take much less time.

Are you still hoping to find an equivalent? "AliExpress" is too unique and individual platform, therefore for it really competitive resource, alas, does not exist yet. The company is too strong a monopolist.
