AliExpress has become the most popular product sourcing platform for dropshippers. From Oberlo, AliDropship, to even Spocket, which was meant for only European suppliers, almost all third-party dropshipping tools integrate with AliExpress.
And that’s no surprise because AliExpress has more than a million affordable products people love to buy. Products that are so affordable that some go for 1 cent.
We have compiled 15 1-cent items with free shipping on AliExpress. Let’s get started.

Is Free Shipping on 1 Cent Items Real on AliExpress?
Yes. Thousands of items are sold for 1 cent with free shipping on AliExpress.
I know, it sounds unbelievable. You must have questions like: How can a seller afford to manufacture a product, market it, and then sell it for an insanely low price?
Here are some of the reasons why.
1. New User Bonus and Coupons
Most of the items on AliExpress sold for 1 cent are for new users who have not placed an order yet.
When you create an AliExpress account, you will find lots of items selling for 99% off. If those items cost $10 or less, you’ll get the exact products for 1 cent instead. For instance, look at the following screenshot.
There is a new user section that lists all items that you can get for 1 cent. Depending on the available shipping methods, you may also get free shipping attached.
These products range from jewelry and tech products to makeup brushes and decorative coins.
AliExpress pays the seller for the rest of the item’s cost.
To avoid abuses, AliExpress limits new user coupons to the first purchase you make. So you can only get one piece of one product for 99% off.
2. Mass-Produced Cheap Items
Some AliExpress products are mass-produced items manufactured along with tens of thousands of other items. In these cases, the seller can afford to sell for 1 cent.
3. Extremely Light-Weight Products
Free shipping items tend to be non-perishable and very lightweight. They usually weigh under 10 grams. Their light weight allows them to be thrown into one corner of a plane till it arrives at its destination.
4. New Store Giving Out Freebies For Positive Reviews
New AliExpress suppliers are looking to sell their first batch of products and gain popularity with some positive reviews. Sometimes they offer their products for as low as 1 cent.
5. Selected Shipping Method
AliExpress has an official shipping method that is affordable and often free. It is called Cainiao Super Economy Global.
The disadvantage is that it can take up to two months to get your item delivered.
15 AliExpress Products That Sell For 1 Cent Plus Free Shipping
The easiest way to get a 1-cent product plus free shipping is to create a new account. Even when you search for products via the search box, AliExpress still shows 1 cent products at the top of the search results.
You cannot buy more than one item with the 99% off new user bonus. I suppose if you create different accounts with different credit cards, you can get away with it. But then, you’ll run out of cards eventually.
Free shipping remains an option if you choose Cainiao Super Economy Global shipping. If you choose any other method, the free shipping option goes out the window.
Here are 15 products you can get for 1 cent on AliExpress.
#1：Resin Kits
Plastic resin molds and kits often go for at least $5. But for new users, some of them are sold for 1 cent. You usually get the simple ones that don’t have a lot of design.
For instance, the resin epoxy love necklace mold in the picture below is sold to new users for a cent. As expected, it ships with the AliExpress Cainiao Global Economy shipping method. It takes about 60 days to get to the US.
If you want some resin products and can wait for two months to get them, this is a perfect purchase to make.
#2：Hairpin Accessories
We all know how popular hairpins and other clothing accessories are in the online market. Selling them comes with several benefits, such as a large audience to market to and affordable products.
I found one on AliExpress that I particularly like because the supplier allows you to pick from about 22 different hairpin styles.
Of course, to get it for a cent, you have to select only one. And it will take 60 days to get to the US.
If you select another shipping method, say, AliExpress Standard Shipping, you will pay $3.42. If you choose DHL, you will pay $40 in shipping fees alone. However, DHL will get it to you in less than two weeks.
#3：Gold Clad Bullion Bar Ingot
An ingot is mainly for decoration. The one featured here is a gold-plated bar ingot with a seal of the United States. AliExpress sells other bar ingots covered with gold, silver, and bronze; you name it.
The regular price for this particular one in the following screenshot is $3.75, but it goes for 1 cent plus free shipping for the new user. Of course, it’s not real gold, but gold plated.
People buy ingots to incorporate into their jewelry or to decorate table tops and desks.
#4：Women Rings
Women’s rings are trendy products to sell. Even though the female jewelry market seems saturated and full of competition, you can stand out if you are able to select an attractive style and partner with a reliable supplier.
And yes, there are cheap Women’s rings on AliExpress that new users can grab for 1 cent and free shipping. Again, it will take 60 days for the product to get to you.
If you look at the following screenshot, you’ll find that this particular store sells a lot of jewelry, a good number of which sell for $0.01 plus free shipping.

You should order it now if you are on a strict budget because, as you know, it will take up to 60 days to get to the U.S.

#8：Fake Nose Lip Rings
There are also fake Nose and lip rings that you can buy for 1 cent on AliExpress.
People prefer these rings that don’t require you to get any piercings. You just clip them to your lip or nose and remove them anytime you want to.
The one featured here has more than ten designs to choose from with different colors – red, green, black, etc. If your audience is made up of young women who are interested in face and lip rings, this may be for them.

Beach leg chains are incredibly popular. Lots of girls now wear anklets, not just on the beach, but to go out to dinner and sometimes to work.
The beach anklet featured in this article is made for beach use. It usually costs $6.32 but is sold to new users for 1 cent. You can select from three different designs.
