Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 15, 2025
Transparency matters to us, so here's a straightforward explanation of how this site earns revenue and what that means for you.
How We Earn Revenue
Curated Value Finds is a participant in the AliExpress Affiliate Program. This means that when you click on a product link on our site and make a purchase on AliExpress, we may earn a small commission from that sale.
This is how we fund the research, writing, and ongoing maintenance of this site. Without affiliate commissions, we would not be able to dedicate the time needed to evaluate products, write detailed guides, and keep our content up to date.
What This Means for You
Using our links costs you nothing extra. The price you pay on AliExpress is exactly the same whether you arrive through our link or find the product on your own. The commission comes from AliExpress, not from your pocket.
Think of it as a simple arrangement: you get curated product recommendations backed by real research, we earn a small referral fee when those recommendations lead to purchases, and it doesn't cost you a single penny more than you'd already pay. Everyone benefits.
Our Editorial Independence
Here's what we want you to understand clearly: affiliate earnings do not influence which products we recommend.
Our recommendations are based on genuine research — reading buyer reviews, evaluating specifications, comparing similar products, and assessing overall value. If a product doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't appear on the site, regardless of the commission it might generate.
No seller or brand pays us to feature their products. We choose what to write about based on what we think will be genuinely useful to our readers. Our editorial judgment is not for sale.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click a product link on our site, a small identifier is added to the URL. This tells AliExpress that you came from our site. If you make a purchase within a certain window (usually 24 to 72 hours depending on the program terms), we receive a commission.
If you prefer not to use our affiliate links, that's completely fine. You can always search for the product directly on AliExpress. We'd rather you find a great product than worry about links.
Our Commitment to You
- We will always be upfront about the fact that we earn affiliate commissions.
- We will never recommend a product solely because it pays a higher commission.
- We will never use deceptive tactics, fake urgency, or misleading claims to push you toward a purchase.
- We will continue to prioritize your trust over short-term revenue.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how we select products, please don't hesitate to reach out through our contact page. We're happy to explain anything in more detail.
