AliExpress has initiated a series of price reductions and coupon distributions across dozens of products, extending its November shopping marathon. The e-commerce giant began its major sales event on November 1, with the first round of coupons available from October 31. This year's sales are structured in phases, including "warm-up" days for collecting coupons and filling shopping carts from October 29-31, followed by significant coupon opportunities for large orders from October 31 to November 3, and a second wave from November 10-13. The main "Singles' Day" event runs from November 1 to November 18, featuring widespread discounts across all categories. Following this, promotions will transition into Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, lasting from November 19 to December 3, during which the 11.11 coupons will no longer be valid.
The maximum savings on AliExpress are achieved through a "stacking" method, combining multiple discounts. This hierarchical system starts with automatic "Spend & Save" discounts, followed by store-specific coupons (orange coupons found on product pages). Next, accumulated app "Coins" are applied, and finally, a site-wide global coupon (red coupon) is entered at checkout. Properly combining these layers can reduce the original product price by tens of percent.
To maximize savings, shoppers need to prepare in advance. Store coupons should be collected directly from product pages, while general coupons can be gathered from the "Coupon Center" and warm-up banners. Daily app logins allow users to earn Coins, which translate to direct discounts, and special alphanumeric coupon codes are often released through consumer channels and Telegram.
For Israeli consumers, three key rules apply. First, collecting a coupon does not guarantee its availability, as global coupons have limited quantities and are claimed quickly; payment should be made immediately when the sale window opens. Second, the minimum purchase requirement for a global coupon is calculated after store discounts are applied, meaning if a store discount drops the cart total below the threshold, the global coupon will not be valid. Finally, strategic stacking of discounts can lead to tax exemptions. If the total value of goods after all discounts falls below $75, VAT is waived. However, if the cart exceeds this amount, splitting purchases into separate orders over several days is recommended to stay under the tax threshold.
