Many AliExpress scams revolve around the seller trying to get you to close the dispute before resolving it fully. They promise to resend or refund the order, maybe even something extra, if you close the dispute as soon as possible.

AliExpress' return service, also known as the “Free Return” service, allows buyers to return the item for any reason, totally free of charge, as long as they send it back within the 15 established days. Some sellers offer the Free Return option, and it will be clearly marked on the item details page of the product you want to purchase.It took over a month for me to see a refund from a canceled order.

Follow up with the merchant regularly, and ensure that you document your communication.
They sometimes require signature. If they don’t, just say it never arrived after waiting a few days after it arrived. say that you never got the package (assuming no signature is required). you will keep the item then just write to them that the postal service said your package arrived but you never got it. 4zaA.
