AliExpress has opened warehouses and fulfilment centres in Europe to provide quicker delivery times for customers in the region.
Products stored in these European fulfilment centres will be dispatched through the Chinese retail giant’s new **Local+** channel. The company states that orders placed via **Local+** will arrive within seven days, with free shipping and free returns included.
Shoppers in Spain, the Netherlands, and the UK are already using the new service.
AliExpress said Local+ offers a more familiar and convenient shopping experience. The launch is part of the company’s strategy to enhance customer satisfaction and adapt to changing consumer trends and demands.
Local+ is accessible through the AliExpress app.
Earlier this month, AliExpress introduced several new services ahead of its summer sale, including a best-price guarantee available via the AliExpress Big Save channel.
