AliExpress direct delivery means purchasing goods directly from the source on behalf of the seller and shipping the goods directly to the buyer, eliminating the tedious process of the seller preparing and shipping the goods themselves.

The following is the process of direct delivery on AliExpress:

1. Find the source: Find a suitable source supplier on AliExpress and choose a reliable, reasonably priced and timely source to cooperate with.

2. Contact the source: Contact the source through the platform chat tool, email or other means to negotiate with it on matters related to product prices, shipping methods, payment methods and after-sales services, and fully understand the source's procurement terms, return and exchange policies, etc.

3. List products: List the products provided by the source on the AliExpress platform, set the price, shipping cost, product description, pictures and other information of the goods through the platform, and negotiate the method and time of delivery with the source.

4. Customer orders: Customers place orders on the AliExpress website or APP to purchase goods and pay for the order.

5. Orders to the source: Sellers place orders to the source, including product name, quantity, price, delivery address, contact information, etc.

6. Payment: Sellers pay for goods through online payment or offline transfer.

7. The source delivers the goods: After receiving the order and payment, the source delivers the goods to the buyer in the agreed manner and time.

8. Upload logistics information: The source uploads the logistics information and order number of the shipment to the AliExpress platform to facilitate sellers to query logistics information.

9. Follow up logistics information: Sellers follow up logistics information in a timely manner, understand the logistics situation of the order, and communicate with buyers about some unexpected situations as soon as possible.

10. Confirm receipt and settle: After the customer confirms receipt of the goods, the seller will receive the order amount minus the payment and platform service fee, and the source party will also receive the corresponding profit, and the entire transaction process is over.

If you have opened a non-source store on AliExpress, that is, you do not have your own actual inventory, you can still handle shipments in the following ways:

1. Consignment: Establish a cooperative relationship with suppliers, wholesalers or agents, who will be responsible for storing and shipping products. When an order is generated, you only need to send the order details to the supplier, and the supplier will ship directly from their inventory to the customer.

2. Factory direct shipment: Cooperate with product manufacturers and let them ship products directly from the factory to customers. This method can reduce unnecessary links and speed up delivery.

3. Third-party logistics warehouse: Choose to use a third-party logistics warehouse service, which will be responsible for storing and shipping products. You can send the products to them and provide order information, and they will ship according to the order requirements.

4. Delivery after purchase: When the customer places an order, you purchase the required products from the supplier, and then let the supplier deliver the products directly to the customer. This method requires ensuring that the supplier can deliver the products in a timely manner and meet the customer's needs.

Before choosing any of the above methods, it is recommended that you communicate and negotiate in detail with the relevant partners to ensure that they have stable supply capabilities and reliable delivery services. In addition, timely communication and tracking are also the key to ensuring that the order is shipped on time.
