E-commerce has won the hearts of many people across the world and has begun to make life easier for many people who no longer have to travel abroad to buy items that they need.
This means that you can save ticket fares and travelling expenses.
E-commerce allows you to order items and have them delivered to you conveniently.
An e-commerce site that has been very crucial for sellers and retail buyers is Alibaba Express.
This site has built a bridge between international customers and small Chinese businesses and deals in electronics, accessories and fashion.
In this article, we would show you how to order from Alibaba Express (AliExpress) and have it shipped and delivered to you in Ghana; this will be done in steps.
Before you start, make sure you have a:
1. Shipping address where AliExpress will deliver your order.
