Don't always choose the lowest price
Prices displayed on AliExpress are generally in line with quality. Finding the same product at a lower price doesn't always mean you've found a bargain.
It won't necessarily be a lower quality product either. Just take a good look at the features of the item and keep this in mind before making a decision. One tip for always making a wise choice? Ask for a sample whenever possible to check the quality of the product.

Look for suppliers with a positive feedback rate of 95% or more
There are two key variables to evaluate AliExpress sellers: number of feedbacks and number of positive reviews. The number of feedbacks will give you an idea of the sales volume of the product. The number of positive reviews will let you know to what extent this seller meets the expectations of its customers. Look for sellers with a positive feedback percentage of at least 95% and a number of feedbacks of no less than 2,000.

The relationship between these two variables is also important. You will be more interested in purchasing a product that has been purchased thousands of times, even if it has a positive rating of 90%, than one with a positive rating of 100% that has only been sold twice.

Before importing products into your store, check how long it takes for the AliExpress supplier to respond to you and whether their response is adequate. You can create a fictitious situation, pretending that you have not received an order. This will help you evaluate how the supplier handles the situation.

Import products to your store
