The Ultimate U.S. Shopper’s Guide to AliExpress Deals & Cashback

Shopping on AliExpress from the U.S.? Timing is everything.
In 2025, AliExpress is rolling out major sales packed with huge discounts, exclusive coupons, and flash deals. But here’s what sets smart shoppers apart: combining those discounts with up to 11% cashback using the Refundy Chrome Extension.

Here’s how to make the most of every sale.

Why Timing Your AliExpress Orders Matters

AliExpress hosts dozens of sales every year — each focused on categories like fashion, electronics, or home goods.
But since most events follow China Standard Time, U.S. shoppers need to plan ahead.

The good news? Refundy’s cashback works during all events, including Flash Deals and brand-specific promotions.
Not every item is eligible for cashback, but event timing itself isn’t a blocker. Just be sure to check product-level eligibility to avoid surprises.

Key Sale Events in 2025 (U.S. Shoppers, Take Note)

March — Anniversary Sale
One of the biggest sales of the year. Great for scoring deals on electronics, smart devices, and trending fashion.

June — Mid-Year Sale
Perfect for summer upgrades: smart gadgets, fans, LED lighting, home décor and more.

August — Back to School Sale
Ideal for students and parents. Expect markdowns on stationery, dorm gear, and affordable tech like tablets.

November — 11.11 (Singles’ Day)
AliExpress’s biggest shopping day — think of it as Black Friday, but bigger. Everything from fashion to tools gets major discounts.

November — Black Friday Sale
Follows Western traditions. Best for fashion and gift shopping ahead of the holidays.

December — Year-End Clearance
Deep discounts on remaining inventory, especially in lifestyle and home categories. Great for bargain hunters.

How to Combine Cashback with Discounts

Most shoppers don’t realize you can stack savings. Here’s how:

  • Use both store and platform coupons
  • Add in any credit card offers
  • Activate Refundy before adding items to your cart

This trio can lead to serious savings.

Common Cashback Mistakes to Avoid

To keep your cashback:

  • Don’t add items to your cart before activating Refundy
  • Avoid incognito mode or disabling cookies
  • Don’t click away from AliExpress mid-checkout
  • Always shop with the Refundy extension enabled

Final Tip

AliExpress deals are already great — but combining them with cashback is next-level.
With the right timing and the right tools, your 2025 shopping can be smarter and more rewarding.

Install Refundy now and unlock up to 11% cashback on your next AliExpress order.
