There is a very serious problem with alishipping plugin if you are using alispress products and your our products too. When contacted alidropship reps say alidropship is primarily only for aliexpress products and all across their website and blogs it is promoted that you can add your own products too. Alidropship plugin gives an option to do that by giving priority to alishipping shipping methods over alidropship shipping method. Here is the problem which makes your website useless..when you have activated both shipping options which you will have to if you add your own local products the cart page for aliexpress imported products shows shipping as free even though the shipping method automatically selected by alishipping shows its not free..so customer sees a crazy cart page in which for example selected shipping method says 10 dollars as shipping cost this amount is not added to the final cost of the product. Instead just below the shipping methods where product cost and shipping cost are added to reach the final cost the shipping cost of zero is added..This is a critical error because customer will see thought shipping method cost of ten dollars is auto selected it is not added in final cost..customer will surely click on buy option as he has nothing to select and he or she will not be charged for shipping even though there is a big component of shipping cost which was auto selected but not added to the product price

Alidropship plugin is compatible if you want to add your own products us well(products they are not in aliexpress)
If you use the free shipping method you dont gonna have proplem..
But unfortunately alishipping plugin is not compatible.
Is not an error ,They never promote Alishipping plugin is compatible with the shipping of your own products.

This is a misunderstanding. You can add your own products to your dropshipping store but alidropship plugin take care only of products imported from AliExpress and that include shipping. If you are using the Shipping Products AliExpress add on and AliExpress product and your own product are added in cart together, it would become complicated.
