i wanted to ask that most products on Ali express have 25-44 day shipping dates, are customers willing to wait that long and what alternate options are there for Aliexpress specifically with regards to a woo commerce wordpress platform.
 
Maybe try finding suppliers in your country for faster shipping time?
 
So you must be into dropshipping.

I wouldn't wait for something that many days, but it seems that there are a lot of people willing to do so. Just check wish.com stats - this is nothing but a dropshipping website pumped-up by VC money which sells most of its stuff straight from China. So yes, people are willing to wait that much if they are paying so little.

If you look into other suppliers, check dropshipping suppliers and you will find alternatives to Aliexpress. For example, in Europe there is Bigbuy.eu and they sell a lot of stuff. They are more expensive, but they are located in Spain, so shipping time is reduced to 2-3 days (for Euro shipping).
 
Shipping times are a huge worry for newcomers into the dropshipping world.
I reassure you, they aren't a huge deal.

On your website, have a Shipping Policy page that states that delivery can take 30+ days.

Your goal with dropshipping isn't return customers. It's a proof of concept (in my opinion at least).

Once you're making money using the AliExpress supplier with long shipping times, look into getting inventory and US fulfillment. This doesn't only mean faster shipping times, but branded products and higher margins as well. Plus, fast shipping times/branded products = return customers!

Also, when using Ali, make sure to use E-Packet as your shipping method!
 
Hi, we are a professional dropshipping supplier company, we can offer shipping service to the US, currently 9-10days, to EU 7-11days, Australia and Canada 10-14days, we monitor the shipping and only choose the shipping companies that can offer to ship in 14days.

Aliexpress can be frustrating. You can buy from AliBaba and then ship to a distributing house like ShipBob. Only this way, you have to have inventory, which is more overhead than with AliExpress
