AliExpress Introduces Brand+ Channel to Strengthen Price Competition in the United Kingdom

AliExpress has announced Brand+, a new shopping channel designed to offer UK consumers a wider selection of branded products along with a price-matching guarantee.

Brand+ includes more than 1,500 brands, ranging from well known international labels to emerging names across beauty, electronics, lifestyle and several other categories. Every product within the channel features a Best Price Guarantee, ensuring shoppers receive a competitive deal. Customers who find the same item at a lower price on an approved comparison platform within seven days of purchase are eligible for a refund of the price difference.

Price Matching Becomes More Common Among Global E-Commerce Platforms

Industry analysts note that price matching is becoming an increasingly widespread strategy among global e-commerce platforms, especially as inflationary pressures push consumers toward more comparative shopping behaviour. While major retailers such as Amazon and Walmart also offer similar programmes, AliExpress positions Brand+ as a value-driven environment specifically designed for branded products.

With the launch of Brand+, AliExpress is strengthening its market presence in the United Kingdom while reinforcing a retail strategy built around price transparency on a global scale. Brand+ also provides exclusive limited-edition collections and prize draws through a partnership with POP MART. The company states that these additional benefits offer more flexible saving opportunities for budget-conscious shoppers.

“Brand+ Will Offer Consumers a Wider Selection of Brands at Competitive Prices”

Bonnie Zhao, General Manager of AliExpress UK, said the company continues to enhance customer experience by improving product variety and strengthening price advantages. She added that Brand+ will give consumers access to a significantly broader selection of brands at competitive prices, along with extended seasonal discount opportunities during the winter period.

AliExpress Extends Promotion Period Until December 3

To support peak seasonal shopping, AliExpress has extended its promotion period until December 3. This window includes both the 11.11 Singles Day festival and Black Friday. The platform is offering discounts of up to 80 percent across a wide range of products, and up to 50 percent off selected branded items. Shoppers paying with PayPal can also access an additional 20 percent discount.

“Consumers Are More Likely to Purchase When a Best Price Guarantee Is Offered”

Recent research in the UK shows strong consumer interest in affordable and transparently priced platforms. In a survey of AliExpress users, the majority described the platform as budget friendly, and most said they would recommend it to others. In a broader study of 2,000 adults, nearly half reported that they are more likely to purchase when a best-price guarantee is available, while more than half said they saved over 25 percent on their online purchases in the past year.
