AliExpress 618 Sale 2026: Is the Discount Real? How to Check Before You Buy

The AliExpress 618 Mid-Year Sale main window runs June 15–20, 2026.

The UK follows its own window (June 14, 23:00 – June 20, 22:59 local) and the US runs June 15–24.

The promo codes are confirmed from the official affiliate brief.

Install AliShopping Tools (free Chrome extension) to see 90-day price history directly on every AliExpress product page.

If the 618 price matches the price from 2–3 months ago, the discount is not genuine — the seller inflated the price before the sale window.

Yes.

The AliExpress 618 promo codes are confirmed from the official affiliate brief — a global AFMY* series plus dedicated per-country pools (FRTP* France, DETP* Germany, ITTP* Italy, ESMYS* Spain, NLTP* Netherlands, AEUKHS* UK, MYUSAFF* US and more).

They are valid for the June 15–20 window.

Electronics accessories (cables, phone cases, earbuds), home and kitchen gadgets, fashion accessories, and sports & outdoor gear typically offer the deepest genuine 618 discounts — often 20–50% off.

Trending viral products and single-seller listings carry higher fake-discount risk.

Generally no.

AliExpress does not allow stacking a platform promo code with a seller coupon on the same order.

Check the code terms before adding items to your cart.

Some codes also have category restrictions or minimum spend thresholds.

Delivery times and shipping fees depend on the shipping method you choose, the seller's dispatch location, and your destination — they aren't fixed by the promo code itself.

The estimated delivery window and any shipping fee are shown on the product page and again at checkout, so check there for the current figure.

Once an order ships, you can track its progress from the AliExpress "My Orders" page.

AliExpress does not automatically refund the difference if an item gets cheaper after you buy it during a sale — the price you pay is the price shown at checkout.

To judge whether a deal and seller are genuine, check the seller's overall rating, recent order volume, and reviews on the product page, and compare the current price against its price history using a tool like AliShopping Tools before you buy.

Whether a promo code can be combined with a seller coupon, a shipping voucher, or another promo code depends on that code's own terms.

AliExpress generally allows one platform-wide promo code per order, sometimes alongside a separate seller-issued coupon.

Check the code's terms panel — or the "Coupon"/"Apply Code" field at checkout — to see exactly what it can be combined with before you count on stacking multiple discounts.

AliExpress Buyer Protection is not changed by a sale promotion.

You generally have 15 days after you confirm delivery (or after the automatic confirmation deadline passes) to open a dispute if an item doesn't arrive, arrives damaged, or doesn't match its listing.

Some individual sellers list a longer return window on their own product page — check the "Return Policy" tab on the specific listing for the seller's own terms.
