Yes, they fucked it up in a recent "modern" website redesign.

That could include every software developer alive, if you were really angry.

Regarding the disappearance of the combined delivery label: it had to do with Chinese New Year. Similar badges and special features seem to undergo pausing during major Chinese events and festivities as well.

I'm posting in this older topic as it's strangely what pops up in Google for a search I made, and hasn't been answered.

TBH I don't remember seeing "combined delivery" offers anywhere in 2023. I think this marking has been retired permanently.

Packages ordered at similar time with AliExpress Standard or Saver Shipping are still typically being combined. It simply saves AliExpress money, now that they actually need to pay their last mile carriers. I don't know the exact rules, but I have made a few orders from multiple sellers in 2023 and all of them were combined. They even combine orders from different baskets, if they are close enough in time.

AliExpress also introduced "Choice" offers. Items with "Choice" label always use combined delivery, you pay a flat rate for shipping regardless of which seller or sellers you order from and shipping is free on orders above $10. Supposedly this works by participating sellers storing their stock of "Choice" items in AliExpress' own warehouse together with others, which means that you will most likely see this option offered on popular, high volume products.

This did not happen for my last orders. I try to order everything I want from the choice section and combine to go over the 10 dollar for free shipping and faster delivery. Unfortunately for sure the fore last order I placed did not got combined. Two of the seven items came in the same package, then a separate item came and I'm still waiting for the other four. Maybe these are in a single package, but they are overdue while still waiting to be delivered from the local sorting facility.  :palm:

Have to see how my latest orders fare. They should arrive before the 10th of April to be on time.

magic:
Hmm, interesting. At $1+taxes shipping rate they should be damn bloody motivated to optimize the hell out of it. Choice offers are sometimes more expensive than others which could explain the unusually low shipping fee, but it's not the case that they always are.

Maybe it's not true that this stuff is warehoused by AE, after all? I got such impression from reading the fine print about Choice on AE website a while ago, but reading it again I frankly only see a claim that Choice items are "shipped by AE", which could mean anything I guess - maybe they "ship" your items in batches as they arrive from various sellers by domestic couriers.

I have only used Choice once so far, and only bought from two sellers.
