The AliExpress 11.11 sale is AliExpress's biggest shopping event of the year, built around Singles' Day on 11 November. In 2026 the sale runs from 1 to 18 November, with up to 90% off selected items and a separate set of promo codes for each country. The trick to getting the lowest price is stacking: a store coupon from the seller, one AliExpress promo code for your country, and coins where the item allows them. This guide explains how each discount works, which codes apply where you live, and how to buy safely.
When is the AliExpress 11.11 sale in 2026?
The AliExpress 11.11 sale runs from 1 November to 18 November 2026. The country promo codes we list are valid until 18 November, and the biggest price drops usually cluster around 11 November itself. New-user codes in some countries, such as the United States, last until 31 December 2026. Because codes have limited redemptions, the earlier you use them, the better your chance of getting one.
What discounts can you stack on AliExpress?
During big sales AliExpress usually lets you combine three kinds of discount on one order. Check the order summary at checkout, because not every item accepts every type.
- Store coupons: issued by the individual seller, shown on the product page or store page (for example "$2 off $20 in this store"). Collect them before you add items to your cart.
- AliExpress promo codes: platform-wide codes for your shipping country with a minimum spend, such as $5 off $29 in the US. You can normally use one per order.
- Coins: earned through daily check-ins and games in the AliExpress app, and spent for a small discount on eligible items marked as coin-friendly.
The order matters: collect store coupons first, add your items, then enter the promo code at checkout and tick the coins option if offered. AliExpress applies the discounts and shows the final price before you pay.
Which AliExpress 11.11 codes work in my country?
AliExpress codes are tied to the country you ship to, so a US code will not work for a UK address. For 11.11 2026 we list live codes for more than 20 markets, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Japan, South Korea, Israel, the Gulf countries, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic and Hungary, plus a set for other EU countries and one for the rest of the world. Each country has a ladder of tiers. In the United States, for example, codes run from $5 off orders over $29 up to $155 off orders over $859. For other countries, the global codes start at $3 off orders over $15.
You can see every live code, sorted by country and minimum spend, on our AliExpress store page. Codes are revealed when you click, so you always copy the current one.
How do you get the biggest 11.11 discount?
- Shortlist early. Add items to your cart or wishlist in the first days of November so you can see the sale price when it drops.
- Aim for a code threshold. Codes work on minimum spends. If your cart is $26 and the next tier is $5 off $29, adding a $3 item you need anyway gets you a bigger saving.
- Do not overshoot tiers. Large codes need large carts. Splitting one big order into two orders that each hit a smaller tier can sometimes save more, though you will use two codes.
- Collect store coupons. Look for the "coupons" box on product and store pages before checkout.
- Use coins on cheap items. Coin discounts are a percentage, so they matter most on small add-ons.
- Check shipping and duties. Some countries' offers include duty savings or local warehouses, which can beat a bigger headline discount.
Why does my AliExpress code not work?
The most common reasons are simple. Your cart is below the minimum spend after other discounts, your shipping address is in a different country from the code, the item is excluded from the promotion, the code has reached its redemption limit, or you are using a new-user code on an existing account. Remove and re-add the code after changing your cart, and try a lower tier if a high-value code is used up. Our discount code guide covers more fixes that work on most stores.
Is it safe to buy on AliExpress during 11.11?
Yes, as long as you buy carefully. AliExpress offers buyer protection on orders, which lets you open a dispute if an item does not arrive or is not as described. Before you order, check the seller's rating and how long they have been open, read the item description rather than just the title, and look at shipping times. Pay inside AliExpress, never through a link a seller sends you.
Be careful with branded electronics and beauty. "2K security cameras" from unknown brands can lack the app support, encryption and updates of established brands, so if security matters, compare them with what you get from Blink in our best Blink camera guide or our Ring Indoor Cam 2K vs Blink Mini 2K+ comparison. For skincare such as eye creams and retinol, buy well-known brands from the brand or a trusted retailer; our best eye cream guide lists safe picks.
What sells best in the AliExpress 11.11 sale?
The 11.11 sale is strongest for low-cost items that are expensive at home: phone and laptop accessories, chargers and cables, small gadgets and tools, LED lighting, phone cases, craft and hobby supplies, and home organisation. Bigger items like robot vacuums, 3D printers and e-bikes can also be good value when shipped from a local warehouse. For brand-name devices with a warranty in your country, compare the price with local stores before you buy.
Is 11.11 better than Black Friday on AliExpress?
Usually, yes, for AliExpress itself. 11.11 is its flagship event with the deepest platform codes, while its Black Friday sale later in November tends to be smaller. For Western retailers it is the other way round: Black Friday is the bigger day. Read our Cyber Monday vs Black Friday guide to plan the rest of the month.
