How to Check AliExpress Price History in Pakistan Before 618 2026

How to Check AliExpress Price History in Pakistan Before 618 2026

Quick answer: Install AliShopping Tools on the Chrome Web Store — it shows a 90-day price chart directly on every AliExpress product page. Compare the current 618 price to the 90-day median. If the sale price equals or exceeds the baseline, the discount is not genuine.

The 618 Grand Sale runs June 15–20. It is one of the biggest promotional windows of the year on AliExpress — and one of the most common times Pakistani buyers overpay for products that never actually went on sale. This guide explains why, and how to check before you buy.

Do AliExpress Sellers Inflate Prices Before 618 in Pakistan?

Yes — and this happens globally, not only for Pakistani buyers. The pattern is well-documented: sellers raise their listed prices 2–4 weeks before the 618 sale window, then apply the maximum discount badge AliExpress allows on the inflated price.

How the inflation works:

1. A product is listed at $14.99 for most of the year
2. In late May or early June, the seller raises the listed "original price" to $24.99
3. On June 15, they apply a "40% off" discount badge — bringing the "sale price" to $14.99
4. The buyer sees "was $24.99, now $14.99" and believes they are saving $10.00
5. The actual price has not changed at all

Pakistani buyers are particularly exposed to this pattern because the shipping cost per order is higher than markets closer to China — meaning the cost of being wrong (buying an inflated-price item) is greater. A buyer in Pakistan paying for standard shipping and customs has more riding on each purchase decision.

AliShopping Tools users can see this pattern directly in the 90-day price chart on any affected product listing.

How to See 90-Day Price History on Any AliExpress Product

AliExpress does not show price history natively. The only way to see it is with a third-party tracking tool. AliShopping Tools adds the chart directly to the product page:

1. Install AliShopping Tools from the Chrome Web Store — no signup required, activates automatically
2. Navigate to any AliExpress product you are considering buying
3. Look for the AliShopping panel below the product images and price section — it shows the 90-day price chart
4. Read the baseline (median line) — this horizontal reference line shows the median price over the past 90 days
5. Compare the current 618 price to the baseline — if the current price is at or above the median, the discount is inflated

Install AliShopping Tools on the Chrome Web Store

What Is a Real vs Fake Discount on AliExpress?

A real discount means the current 618 sale price is meaningfully below the product's 90-day median price. The seller is genuinely selling at a lower margin to drive volume during the sale event.

A fake discount means the current price equals or exceeds the 90-day median. The seller raised the shelf price before the event, then "discounted" it back to where it was — or higher.

Practical rule: Only buy during 618 if the current price is below the 90-day median. Otherwise, you can get the same or better price after the sale window ends.

Which Products Are Most Likely to Have Fake Discounts in Pakistan?

Based on price history data tracked by AliShopping Tools users, the product categories most frequently showing pre-sale price inflation include:

• Electronics accessories (phone cases, cables, chargers, earbuds) — high-competition categories where sellers compete heavily on discount badges during sale events
• Fashion and clothing — easy to inflate "original price" since there is no reference to manufacturing cost
• Beauty and skincare products — high perceived value allows sellers to set arbitrary "original prices"
• Home appliances and small electronics — higher price points mean larger absolute inflation amounts

Pakistani buyers should be extra cautious with electronics accessories — this is the highest-volume import category from AliExpress to Pakistan and also the category most commonly showing inflated 618 discounts in price history data.

AliShopping Tools — Beyond Price History

When checking a product before 618, run three checks with AliShopping Tools:

1. Price history chart — confirms if the 618 discount is real
2. Seller trust score — verifies feedback rate, store age, and dispute rate so you are not buying from a pop-up seller
3. Fake review detector — flags burst review patterns and low photo-review ratios so you know if the product rating is genuine

These three checks take under 30 seconds on any product page.
