AliExpress 11.11 & Black Friday 2026: Sale Preview

AliExpress 11.11 sale 2026 runs November 1–11, with the peak day on November 11 (Singles Day).

The warm-up window from November 1–10 is when seller coupons are most generous.

Platform codes reach their maximum tier on November 11.

AliExpress Black Friday 2026 runs November 27–30, covering Black Friday (November 27), the weekend, and Cyber Monday (November 30).

Platform-wide codes and seller promotions are active across all four days.

Yes, 11.11 typically offers deeper discounts on AliExpress.

It is the platform's highest-priority sale event of the year, with seller coupon activity and platform code tiers at their annual maximum.

Black Friday is a strong second window but code tiers are generally below 11.11 levels.

The SS11* series is the primary Singles Day code set.

AFSO* codes are active during the warm-up period (late October to early November).

Regional codes include FYAU* for Australia and country-specific FR codes for France.

Exact code strings release 2–4 weeks before November 11.

AliShopping Tools detects active codes automatically on every listing.

Many sellers inflate their listed prices in October and early November so the 11.11 'sale' price appears as a large discount when it is actually the original price.

This is a documented pattern on AliExpress during major sale events.

Check 90-day price history on every item before buying to identify real discounts.

Electronics accessories (cables, cases, earbuds, chargers), fashion basics (casual clothing, activewear, accessories), home goods (LED lighting, storage organizers, kitchen tools), and gadgets under $30 consistently offer the deepest genuine discounts during 11.11.

Avoid branded electronics and seasonal items — discounts in those categories are minimal or unreliable.

Adding items to your wishlist ahead of time is a reasonable way to track products you're interested in and quickly find them once the sale opens — but AliShopping Tools doesn't have a price-drop-alert or notification feature.

Instead, use its price-history chart on each wishlisted item's page (manually, before you buy) to confirm the 11.11 price is a genuine drop rather than an inflated "was" price.

Free shipping during these events is seller- and listing-dependent rather than platform-wide — some listings include a free-shipping coupon or badge, others don't.

Filter search results by "Free Shipping" or check the individual listing to confirm before you buy, rather than assuming it applies universally.

AliExpress does run seasonal in-app games and coin-collection activities around major sale events, which can be redeemed for small discounts or coupons — but exact mechanics, rewards, and dates change each year and aren't something AliShopping Tools tracks.

Check the AliExpress app directly during the run-up to 11.11 for whatever activity is currently live.

AliExpress's return window is generally set by the seller and the platform's standard buyer-protection terms, and can vary by item — don't assume a specific extended-return period applies automatically to holiday-sale purchases.

Check the return/refund terms shown on the individual product page and your order details before buying if this matters to you.
