What is Singles' Day?
Singles' Day started in China as an informal day for single people; in 2009 Alibaba turned it into a shopping event. Today it is AliExpress's biggest sale worldwide: store discounts, AliExpress coupons and deals on Choice items. Because it lands two weeks before Black Friday, it also leaves enough time for AliExpress shipping before Christmas.
Import charges in the US
Since August 2025 the US no longer exempts low-value parcels from import duties, so charges may be added to your order. Where they apply, AliExpress shows them at checkout — compare that final total, not the headline price.
