This is right before the order being completed and after delivery.

When you start a dispute on an order.

This is after payment has been made and Aliexpress is waiting for the confirmation of the money received.

Payment being verified

This is when Aliexpress is checking if your payment is legitimate or not

Frozen Order

The Frozen Order is what we are talking about in this article and why an order might be frozen.

Reason 1 :

The Seller is being investigated by the Aliexpress team for partaking in unsafe activities on the store in terms of selling.

Reason 2:

For a brief period where the customer’s payment is being verified, the order maybe frozen.

Reason 3:

When a dispute is raised by you and the Aliexpress team is in the process of correcting the problem, they will freeze the order. At this point they won’t pay the seller till the problem is resolved.

Reason 4:

When Aliexpress is in the process of closing a seller’s store or account then the orders are frozen. If the store has been permanently or closed for a brief time, all the orders in the frozen status will be refunded to the customers.

Aliexpress takes a lot of responsibility and have built a system which is fool proof and that protects both the buyer and seller from fraud. Aliexpress is one of the few e-commerce companies that have a wide range of statuses that cover every situation. This is why they have been successful as an international e-commerce company.
