Singles' Day 11.11: up to £83 off at AliExpress, 11% off Trotec and what else is on

Today is 11 November, Singles' Day, the 11.11 shopping event that marketplaces such as AliExpress run every year. The deal worth knowing about in the UK is AliExpress's 11.11 sale, where our codes take up to £83 off. Trotec has 11% off with code SINGLE until 16 November, and G-Star had a Singles' Day sale on when we checked. Prices were checked on the shops' own pages on 8 November 2026.

AliExpress: up to £83 off in the 11.11 sale

AliExpress runs its 11.11 sale from 1 to 18 November (Pacific time), with up to 80% off selected items. The UK codes it has given us all run until 18 November:

• 26NOVBDX3: £3 off orders over £15
• 26NOVBDX7: £7 off orders over £40
• 26NOVBD15: £15 off orders over £90
• 26NOVBD30: £30 off orders over £185
• 26NOVBD42: £42 off orders over £250
• 26NOVBD53: £53 off orders over £300
• 26NOVBD65: £65 off orders over £390
• 26NOVBD83: £83 off orders over £480

At their minimum spend, most of the codes are worth about 16% to 18% off. The smallest, £3 off £15, works out best at 20%. Prices on AliExpress vary from seller to seller, so compare the same item across a few listings before you add a code.

Who it suits: people buying phone cases, cables, craft supplies and other small items they'd otherwise pay high-street prices for. Check the delivery estimate if it's a Christmas present.

Trotec: 11% off with code SINGLE

Trotec, which makes dehumidifiers, heaters and air conditioners, has a Singles' Day code. Its terms: 11% off the product range, excluding Pro products, on orders of £89 or more, with code SINGLE, valid from 9 to 16 November 2026 inclusive. The TTK 55 E WiFi dehumidifier is £169.95 including VAT, so the code brings it to about £151.26.

Who it suits: anyone fighting condensation and mould in a cold flat, or drying washing indoors. Our guide to drying washing compares the running costs.

G-Star: up to 40% off plus an extra 11%

G-Star's sale page was headed "Singles' Day: Up to 40% + Extra 11%" on 8 November. The page doesn't say whether the extra 11% needs a code or when it ends, so check your basket before you pay. G-Star offers free delivery to newsletter subscribers, and free 30-day returns on full-price orders.

Who it suits: denim buyers who already know their G-Star size. Sale returns may not be free, so it's not one to guess on.

A worked example

Say your AliExpress basket comes to £92. Code 26NOVBD15 takes off £15, so you pay £77. If you were at £85, adding an £8 item you'd buy anyway gets you over £90, so the code saves more than the item costs. Separately, the Trotec dehumidifier at £169.95 is over Trotec's £89 minimum, so SINGLE takes off about £18.69.

How to shop Singles' Day safely

1. Compare the price after the code with the same item at a UK shop, including delivery.
2. Check the delivery date. Overseas parcels can take weeks.
3. Know your rights. Our guide to marketplace sellers explains who's responsible if something is faulty or unsafe.
4. Pay by credit card or PayPal for extra protection.
5. Beware copycat "11.11" shops advertised on social media. If you've lost money to one, contact your bank and report it to Report Fraud at reportfraud.police.uk or 0300 123 2040. Forward scam texts to 7726.

Questions

Can I use two AliExpress codes at once? Plan on one code per order. Pick the highest one your basket qualifies for.

Does Trotec's code work on everything? No. It excludes Pro products and needs a minimum order of £89.

Do Singles' Day deals beat Black Friday? Sometimes. Black Friday is on 27 November. If an item is cheaper today and you need it, there's no reason to wait.

When you shop through Voucher Magpie, part of the commission the shop pays us goes to the charity or club you pick. You pay the same price.
