The Alibaba Group was founded in 1999. It began by launching a website designed to help small Chinese exporters, manufacturers and entrepreneurs to sell internationally. Today they have grown to an established worldwide leading provider of online and mobile commerce. Their popular online marketplace website is AliExpress.com.

AliExpress was launched in 2010. This website is a global marketplace available for consumers in the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, France and Russia to be able to purchase from manufacturers and distributors in China directly. The site is comparable to Amazon ( does not sell products directly to consumers but is simple an ecommerce platform) and Ebay (seller can be individual or businesses).

NOTE: please visit the site directly to verify the details and obtain more information.
