Why is shipping from the US not an option offered when I am searching for products on AliExpress?


When you open an account on AliExpress, by default it chooses the country it detects you're in.
When you try search products it suggests the most logical countries to buy the product from. 
Go to the flag next to your account and change that to USA.
Now, you can choose ship from US or China.
