The growth of international e-commerce around the world is unstoppable as nowadays internet usage continues to increase and online shopping has become more and more common.
I’m sure you must have heard about Alibaba, but how about
AliExpress !?
AliExpress is an e-commerce platform which was launched by founder of Alibaba Group, Jack Ma, in China by 2010 (1).
Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, was born in 1964 in Hangzhou, China. His background, education and the path to success could be categorized as failure, rejection, fighting, resolve, hard work, agility and vision (2). He has a belief that the Internet would level the playing field by enabling small enterprises to leverage innovation and technology to grow and compete more effectively in the domestic and global economies (1). Thus, he is finding success in his internet company, Alibaba.
Alibaba is a leading platform for global wholesale trade that connects mainly Chinese manufacturers with overseas customers. Unlike Alibaba, AliExpress is a global retail marketplace platform that offering quality products in a small quantity at factory prices. In addition, it serves as a B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Customer) platform for companies in China to sell their variety of products directly to other countries around the world without any intermediaries (1). What this means ??! It means the products listed in AliExpress are much cheaper than what you would pay in a regular shop！！
Furthermore, the minimum order can be made as low as 1 unit of a product, and is shipped with express delivery. In some cases, fast and free shipping will be offered too. Moreover, few friendly-user tools have been furnished to facilitate foreign shoppers have an ease online shopping. Those tools are wish-list, multi-language, buyer protection guarantee, supplier rating as well as secure and easy online payment (3). These facilities and safeguards have caused AliExpress become one of the largest global shopping platforms.
