description AliExpress Overview
AliExpress is the original dropshipping marketplace, offering millions of products at wholesale prices. While it is not a 'platform' in the sense of a store builder, it is the foundation of the dropshipping industry. You can use it directly to source products, though it is highly recommended to use a tool like DSers to manage the orders. It remains the most affordable way to source products globally.
If you are on a shoestring budget and willing to handle the manual work, AliExpress is the ultimate starting point for any dropshipper.
