Frequently asked questions
Can I use it for climbing?
No. A climbing carabiner needs certification and traceable testing, and this listing shows neither. Use it only for non-life-safety jobs like hanging gear.
Is the 12KN rating believable?
It is an unverified seller claim. A true 12KN is a typical figure for certified small carabiners, but there is no way to confirm it for a $2 item.
How long does shipping take?
A single carabiner ships in a padded bag, so the usual wait is one to three weeks with tracking, shorter for Choice or Ship from United States listings. Because this clip is sold without a certification, it is also worth inspecting the gate and spring on arrival and disputing it if it sticks, and checkout may show import charges.
How much is the 12kN D-Shape Locking Carabiner?
AliExpress lists it at $2.44 on aliexpress.com. We refresh prices throughout the day, but always confirm the final price at checkout.
Is there a discount on the 12kN D-Shape Locking Carabiner?
AliExpress publishes these ways to save: Coins in the app. AliExpress sets the terms, which can change; our AliExpress coupons page has the details.
What is AliExpress's return policy?
Eligible items can be returned within 90 days of payment, with the first return on each order free, according to AliExpress's 2024 US announcement. Return terms vary by seller and item, so check the product page. Custom, perishable and hygiene items are generally excluded.
How long does AliExpress take to ship?
AliExpress's 2024 US guarantee listed Choice orders at 5 to 12 days and standard orders at 8 to 14 days, but real-world standard shipping from China often runs longer. Items marked Ship from United States come from local stock. Free shipping on Choice orders depends on a minimum order shown at checkout.
Does the 12kN D-Shape Locking Carabiner come with a warranty?

Is AliExpress a legit store?

Skip it for anything safety-critical, brand-name or urgent. Check the seller's feedback score, the delivery estimate and the import-charge line at checkout before you pay.
