The integration between bindCommerce and AliExpress is in progress.
AliExpress: the Chinese marketplace that is popular all over the world
The AliExpress marketplace is owned by Alibaba Group, a group already listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Born in 2010, it quickly became a point of reference for electronic commerce. The platform brings together many small Chinese companies, allowing them to sell various products around the world.
AliExpress presents a truly vast catalog, from electronics to clothing, from sporting goods to accessories, and much more. The peculiarity of this marketplace is that it has aimed to export Chinese-made items only outside the borders of China.
AliExpress, in fact, allows small Chinese sellers to sell all over the world, except in their own country. The portal is not even reachable for the inhabitants of mainland China.
The marketplace was immediately appreciated by a large audience, in over 220 countries worldwide, addressing a young and cosmopolitan target.
AliExpress arrives in Italy
The announcement is now official: the AliExpress marketplace arrives in Italy. The country will be the first to welcome the new marketplace outside the borders of native China.
“The Italian project is an important step in our strategy - Trudy Dai, president of AliExpress and the wholesale markets of Alibaba told Corriere della Sera - which also foresees the start of the digitization of European industrial districts. Italian SMEs will be able to open an online store with this system and independently sell their products to the hundreds of millions of customers registered with us, in Europe and worldwide”
“Here there is quality craftsmanship and strong districts of quality manufacturing, you are the empire of SMEs. We have done market research and the answer is that global consumers want your products, " added, Trudy Dai said.
According to the first agreements regarding the logistics system, the shipping times for those who purchase on AliExpress from Italy are already mentioned. For products of Italian origin, the times indicated range from 24 to 72 hours, excluding the islands. A really interesting opportunity for Italian sellers who decide to invest on the Chinese marketplace.
AliExpress will therefore be available for Italian sellers and customers from April 2019.
