Freebie Alert: Get $100 in Free Stuff from AliExpress
Posted by missmelon on June 24, 2010 in Daily Deals
Update: For those of you who haven’t taken advantage of the AliExpress.com, please do so soon because the coupon expires by 7/8 (midnight, so technically 7/9) or upon reaching the budget threshold (whichever comes first).
After you redeem the Vendio2010 coupon, you’ll be issues five $20 coupons. You will then have until 12/31/2010 to activate and use those coupons.
Alibaba.com acquired Vendio (our parent company & an awesome provider of eCommerce software like a free shopping cart and cool eBay Research tools)…
As part the deal, they’re giving away up to $100 worth of free merchandise that can be ordered directly from AliExpress. AliExpress is a marketplace where you can buy almost everything under the sun. It’s a place for people to buy in bulk and then re-sell online (on eBay, Amazon and their online store). The goal is to get online sellers to try out AliExpress, but what it also means is everyday consumers like you and I can use the coupons to get free stuff (up to $100 worth, in fact).
There’s a few steps involved, but if you follow the instructions below, you’ll be on your way to free stuff in no time.
You can view or download the instructions including screen shots here or follow the instructions below.
Activating the AliExpress coupon:
1. Go to the AliExpress landing page located here:
http://coupon.aliexpress.com/special-coupons.html
2. Enter the Vendio coupon code: Vendio2010
3. Create a free AliExpress/Alibaba.com account or sign-in. (Please note that since Alibaba.com and AliExpress are the same, your new account will be branded Alibaba.com.)
4. You’re then taken to a page with 5 coupons on it. Click on the blue “click here” link to activate your coupon. You’ll see a pop-up box that says “upon activation, you will receive a verification email”. You must verify your email within 48 hours. Click on the “activate now” button.
5. Go into your email and click on the verification link. Please be sure to check your SPAM filter. Upon clicking on the verification link, you’ll be taken back into you Alibaba.com account. You’ll see that now you have 5 coupons to use.
7. Click on the “Go to AliExpress” link in the lower left-hand corner and begin shopping.
Maximizing the AliExpress coupon:
Each coupon is worth $20 and is valid on any order greater than $20. Therefore, to maximize the value of this you simply need to create an order that’s $20.01 or more. Keep in mind that because you have 5 coupons, you can place 5 different orders for up to $100 of free stuff!
AliExpress has a great search function that enables you to find deals fast.
Here is how:
1. Choose a category or subcategory.
2. In the “Price and Quantity” search box, choose the value $20 and $21. Also select the “Show Free Shipping” box. This ensures that you’re only looking at items that cost between $20-21 with shipping included.
3. Find an item you want to purchase. Click on the “Buy Now” button and fill out shipping information. You’ll then see the “Review Order” page. Please note that the coupon will not be applied until the next step.
4. Next you’ll see the “Payment” page. Here the coupon will be applied. As you can see in my example, I only need to pay the balance of $0.62. You can pay via PayPal, credit card or bank transfer.
5. Upon payment, you’ll receive email confirmations. Log into your Alibaba.com account to view order details.
