How to specify the address of AliExpress?
If you followed the above algorithm, then now you see the form to fill out. At first glance, it might seem that there is nothing complicated in indicating the address, because all fields are signed. In several fields you need to independently print information - the name of the recipient, street, house, apartment, city, zip code, mobile phone. The simplest are 2 fields - “Country” and “Region / Region / Region”. They have a drop-down menu. The user only needs to make the right choice.
Indeed, there is nothing complicated, but one question arises: "What language on AliExpress to indicate the address and other information about yourself." All information you must enter in Latin letters, i.e. in English letters (transliteration).
Use transliteration
How to indicate the address on AliExpress and at the same time quickly? Try to use special services that convert Russian words to transliteration. There are many such services on the Internet. You can use any of them.
For example, consider the operation of such a service. We will introduce the first name, middle name and last name to transliterate. Let it be Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov. Press the button to convert. The result is displayed in a few seconds - Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov. Similarly, you can convert the address. Do not translate the words "street", "house" into English. Just indicate the name of the street and a comma number of the house, apartment. You can use the abbreviations “ul.”, “D.”, “Kv.” Transformed by transliteration.
Filling example
Consider a concrete example of filling, since the question of how to correctly indicate the address on AliExpress is the most frequently asked:
- In the line "Recipient Name" we write the full name In our case, it will be Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov. We enter in translit the result that we obtained earlier when using the special service, that is, we introduce Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov. It is important to indicate the name, middle name without abbreviations. Do not forget about this rule installed on AliExpress.
- In the "Country / Region" field, click on the arrow to open the menu. We are looking for the country we need. In our case, it will be the Russian Federation, i.e., the Russian Federation.
- In the field "Street, house, apartment" indicate the address where we live. In our example, it will be st. Sovetskaya, 66, apt. 99. We will enter this address into the service, which converts to translit. The result is ul. Sovetskaya, d. 66, kv. 99. Copy and paste into the form. If you want, you can omit the abbreviation “ul.”. Without him, everything is clear.
- The next line, in which it says "Apartment, block", is skipped. It is not required. We specified the whole address in the previous field.
- In the field "Region / Region / Region" we are looking for the name we need. In our case, let it be the Altai Territory. Choose Altayskiy kray.
- In the "City" field, again select what we need. We will indicate Barnaul.
- Fill in the field "Postal Code". Let's write for example 123456.
- We complete the form by indicating your personal mobile phone.
After filling out the form, do not forget to click on the “Save” button.
About zip code
When considering how to correctly indicate the delivery address on AliExpress, special attention should be paid to the zip code. This field is required. In it you must indicate the exact information. If you do not know your zip code, then check it online or by mail.
What can happen if the index is entered incorrectly? All parcels that arrive in a particular city are distributed by post offices. When distributing, specialists look at the specified index. If you enter the index of another post office, then your package will go there. That is, in the end, she may be in the other end of the city. Agree, I don’t really want to waste time and go to another post office for a parcel because of one or several incorrectly indicated numbers.
About phone number
When thinking about how to specify a delivery address on AliExpress, you don’t have to worry about what you need to write a phone number on the website of the trading Internet platform. Indicate it without any concern. Nobody will call you from China. The Russian Post can use the phone number to notify you of the arrival of the parcel at the post office. But sometimes this does not happen. Very often the post informs by paper notification. He is left by the postman in the mailbox.
Another important nuance - indicate the phone number correctly. In the field, enter only numbers without any dashes.
Specifying Additional Addresses
On AliExpress, you can have multiple shipping addresses. A separate “thank you” to the developers of the online platform should be said for this, since this function is very convenient. For example, your relatives from Rostov-on-Don often ask you to place orders. Each time you enter their address is not necessary. Save the alternate address. To do this, go to "My AliExpress" in your account. Select shipping addresses. Above your address at the top you will see the button "Add new ...". Click on it and fill in all the fields.
The form for adding a second address is the same as that considered above. That is, there are no difficulties. For this reason, we will not consider in detail how to correctly indicate on AliExpress an additional address for Russia. It is worth noting that you can save an unlimited number of them.
Editing Addresses
The AliExpress website has another feature. You can edit further added addresses. If, for example, you move to another apartment, then on the website of the trading Internet site you will need to change the street (if it has changed), house number and apartment number.
When editing the address at the end of the form, you can see the hidden part of the page marked "Delivery Information". Click on the adjacent arrow. Another form will open to fill out. It proposes to indicate:
- FULL NAME. in Russian;
- passport ID;
- date of issue of the passport;
- name of the authority issuing the document;
- INN
A form with these fields is not required. It is recommended to fill it out for those people who plan to use express delivery services. For example, the TIN number may be required by customs when passing the parcel across the border.
Indication of address when ordering a specific product
It is recommended to indicate the delivery address and save it immediately after registration on the official website of the trading Internet platform. This will facilitate the further process. With regular orders, you will not need to constantly think about how and where to indicate the delivery address on AliExpress, in which language to write. You will only select the template that you have saved since registration.
How exactly is the address selected when ordering any item from China? For example, you put the product you are interested in in the basket. Go into it and click the "Place an order" button. You will be redirected to the next page. At the top you will see the delivery address. If you had several addresses indicated and you need some other address, click the corresponding button. You will be offered all saved addresses. Click on the one you need. After that, you just have to confirm and pay for the order.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that it is not too difficult to indicate the address on AliExpress. Which language to use is the main thing you need to remember. Always write information in transliteration (the exception is additional information, including passport information, TIN, and more). Also, do not forget about the importance of indicating the index and phone number.
