How to buy from AliExpress in France
Yes. AliExpress ships to France itself, but freight and import duty are billed separately. Transit is 8-12 days after dispatch from our China warehouse. No delivered order on this route yet: your quote adds item price, freight by weight, duty and tax into one EUR total before you pay.
