618 Dates — What's Different from the Regular Summer Sale

The AliExpress Summer Sale runs through early June, but the 618 Grand Sale is a separate peak event with deeper discounts and more seller-stacked deals:

Key difference from the early Summer Sale: The 618 Grand Sale features flash deals that refresh every few hours, more aggressive seller coupon stacking, and AliExpress platform-level highlights on Choice and trending products. It is the highest-intent buying window of the AliExpress mid-year calendar.

The Summer Sale AECAX* codes (active June 1–10) expire June 10 at 23:59 PDT. There is a code gap June 11–13. The 618-specific AECAX618* series releases around June 14. The codes in the table below reflect the expected 618 series based on historical tier patterns.

Canada 618 Promo Code Table

Canadian shoppers use the dedicated AECAX618* series — the 618 equivalent of the AECAX* Summer Sale codes. Based on prior 618 patterns, the tier structure mirrors the Summer Sale ladder with updated prefixes and CAD-native denominations:

All values in CAD. AliExpress charges Canadian addresses in Canadian dollars natively — no foreign exchange conversion fee from your bank. Spend thresholds are calculated on the eligible cart subtotal before GST/HST/QST and shipping.

How to Apply a 618 Code at Canadian Checkout

1. Add eligible items to your cart. Confirm your shipping address is set to a Canadian province (postal code in A#A #A# format).
2. Tap Buy Now or go to Cart → Proceed to Buy.
3. Find the Coupon / Promo Code field above the order total.
4. Enter the 618 code (e.g., AECAX618-23) and tap Apply.
5. Verify the discount line appears in CAD before confirming payment.
6. Complete payment with your Visa, Mastercard, or other accepted card. The charge posts in CAD directly — no currency conversion step.

If the code returns "Invalid" or "Not available for your region":

• Confirm your cart CAD subtotal clears the tier threshold shown above
• Verify items in your cart carry the 618 sale badge (not all listings qualify)
• Confirm you are using a Canadian shipping address — codes are geo-validated against the shipping postal code
• Codes release ~June 14 — if you are checking before that date, 618 codes are not yet live

Payment Methods in Canada

AliExpress accepts the following for Canadian shipping addresses:

• Visa / Mastercard issued by Canadian banks: RBC, TD, BMO, Scotiabank, CIBC, National Bank, and Desjardins. International online purchase capability must be enabled on your card via your bank's mobile app or online banking before ordering.
• Rewards cards (Aeroplan, Scene+, Cashback Mastercard, and similar) earn points on AliExpress purchases normally. The 618 purchase posts as a regular retail transaction — points accumulate at your card's standard earn rate.
• American Express — availability varies; verify before relying on it during 618 as some AMEX cards do not process at AliExpress checkout for Canadian addresses.

Interac e-Transfer is not accepted at AliExpress checkout. You must use a card-based payment method.

No FX conversion fee. AliExpress charges Canadian addresses in CAD natively. Your statement will show a CAD charge with no currency conversion involved — unlike markets that charge in USD or EUR where your bank adds a foreign transaction fee.

Canada CBSA Customs Note — The C$150 Threshold

Canada's CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) de minimis for personal imports is C$150 CAD. This is a critical number for 618 shoppers:

• Orders at or below C$150 declared value: typically clear customs without GST/HST/QST assessment.
• Orders above C$150: may attract GST (5%) + HST (where applicable, up to 15% in provinces like Ontario and Nova Scotia) + provincial taxes (QST in Quebec at 9.975%) + Canada Post or courier brokerage fee (typically C$5–C$50 depending on carrier).

Strategic tier planning around the threshold:

If your cart sits at C$149, using AECAX618-23 (C$23 off C$149+) brings your net spend to C$126 — well under the C$150 duty threshold. This is the sweet spot: maximum discount on the eligible tier while staying below the customs trigger.

Above C$249+, factor the brokerage fee into your total cost calculation before choosing a higher tier. A C$58 discount on a C$409 cart is genuinely valuable, but if the courier charges C$25 in brokerage and C$20 in GST/HST on the C$351 post-promo value, the effective net saving is closer to C$13.

Quebec shoppers: QST adds 9.975% on top of the 5% GST, totalling ~14.975% combined tax on imports above the de minimis. Factor this into the post-promo math for every order that lands above C$150.

Price History Check Before 618 Purchases

Many 618 "discounts" are manufactured. Sellers inflate shelf prices two to four weeks before June 16, then apply a badge on the day of the sale at the same effective price. AliShopping's 90-day price history chart shows the real baseline on every AliExpress listing — visible in-page, no extra steps.

Before applying any 618 code, check the price history. A C$23-off code on a product that was inflated by C$30 before the sale is not a saving. The price history chart tells you in ten seconds whether the "618 price" is genuinely below the pre-sale baseline.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is AliExpress 618 in Canada?

The 618 Grand Sale runs June 16–20, 2026. A 618 warm-up period starts June 14–15 when new AECAX618* codes release. This is separate from the early Summer Sale (June 1–10) which uses the AECAX* codes that expired June 10.

Which 618 codes work for Canada — and how does the C$150 customs threshold affect tier choice?

Canada uses the AECAX618* series for the 618 Grand Sale. Eight CAD-native tiers from AECAX618-4 (C$4 off C$20+) to AECAX618-150 (C$150 off C$910+). Global AFSO* codes are blocked for CA addresses. For the threshold: if your cart is C$149, AECAX618-23 drops your net spend to C$126 — below the CBSA C$150 de minimis, avoiding GST/HST/QST and brokerage. For carts above C$249+, factor any brokerage fee (C$5–C$50) and applicable provincial tax into the effective saving before choosing a higher tier.

Do Canadian credit card rewards apply on AliExpress during 618?

Yes. Rewards cards such as Aeroplan, Scene+, and Cashback Mastercard earn points on AliExpress purchases during 618 at the card's standard earn rate. AliExpress posts the transaction as a regular retail purchase in CAD. Points accumulate regardless of whether you used a promo code — the 618 discount does not affect the earn rate. Check your card's merchant category rules if you use a rotating-category cashback card.

Does AliShopping Tools show 618 codes for Canadian addresses?

Yes. AliShopping Tools detects active AliExpress promo codes — including 618 codes — automatically on every product listing page when codes go live around June 14. Canadian addresses show the AECAX618* dedicated series. No manual lookup required — the overlay appears in-page on AliExpress as you browse.
