Brand+ channel celebrates one year
AliExpress Brand+ celebrates one year of bringing the best tech and innovation to UK consumers. The curated range features branded products from over 2,000 brands including Xiaomi, Anker, Li-Ning, Xtep, Lefant, FIFINE, WOLFBOX, THINKCAR, Super Run, all offering exclusive deals throughout the 11.11 shopping festival.
AliExpress will continue to offer price matches for selected items, with products carrying the Best Price Guarantee label, against e-commerce platforms including Amazon, eBay, Temu and Shein, refunding the difference if found cheaper elsewhere within seven days of purchase*.
Finch Li, general manager at AliExpress UK, said: “British shoppers are among the most discerning in the world – they want quality, they want choice, and they want value. That’s why we’ve focused on bringing the latest products and brands to the UK market, with spec-led items that compete on performance and price. With the festive season approaching, we know shoppers are planning carefully and our 11.11 festival is the perfect opportunity to discover everything from considerate gifts to everyday essentials. This year, we’re making it bigger – and better value – than ever.”
Upgraded logistics and customer experiences
This year, AliExpress has transformed with a stronger focus on user experience and faster delivery. Through Local+, more products are shipped from UK warehouses and typically delivered within 1-3 days, while cross-border parcels generally arrive in 7-10 days.
The biggest savings are concentrated in consumer electronics and tech — categories where UK shoppers are most price-sensitive. From audiophile-grade earphones at highly favourable prices to smart home devices compatible with major ecosystems, the campaign argues that British shoppers need not pay a premium for quality.
Ahead of 11.11, AliExpress reports growing demand in branded and AI-powered products
Sales through the Brand+ channel now account for a growing share of total UK sales on AliExpress, demonstrating the appetite of UK consumers for branded, quality products on the platform. The channel has achieved a 65% repeat purchase rate, with nearly two-thirds of customers returning for more branded purchases.
Steady demand for branded products has been complemented by a key trend in 2026: the growing popularity of AliExpress’s AI-powered electronics and gadgets. These have seen a remarkable 100% year-on-year increase in cross-border sales from January to July 2026 compared to the prior year. AI-capability enhancement products like computer processors and mini-PCs , smart home gadgets have dominated the sales chart for months on the platform. AliExpress is quickly becoming the go-to platform for AI-powered brands, ranging from smart home to note-taking devices.
