The AliExpress Brand+ program has been launched by the online retailer as its initiative to boost shopper confidence when it comes to getting the best deals on the products and brands they want. The program will include branded products alongside a price match commitment for thousands of items when compared to other online retailers for up to seven days after purchase. The program is being launched with an extended sale period from November 11 to December 3, 2025 in an effort to cover both the 11.11 Singles Day shopping event and Black Friday alike.
AliExpress UK General Manager Bonnie Zhao spoke on the AliExpress Brand+ program saying, "We are constantly investing to improve the shopping experience for our customers by providing them with high-quality, top brands at competitive prices, delivered quickly. That is why we are making Brand+ available across over 1,500 brands, with more to come on the AliExpress platform. We continue to give customers the widest possible choice of great-value, branded products.”
