The overall reputation of the company is mixed, with some customers appreciating the variety and affordability of products offered. However, significant concerns dominate the feedback, particularly regarding customer service and support. Many users report frustrating experiences with delayed refunds, ineffective communication, and unresolved product quality issues, often feeling misled by the company's assurances. The Trade Assurance program is frequently described as inadequate, failing to protect buyers effectively. This combination of positive product experiences and pervasive service challenges suggests a need for improved customer support and better oversight of suppliers to enhance overall customer satisfaction.

I just made my first purchase, i have no regrets. The supplier i used was accommodating and very insistent. I hope my next supplier is the same. Im still getting used to the website but so far their prices are much lower than US wholesalers so I'm here to stay. Fair warning, not all suppliers on the site are trustworthy and thats just by the lack of communication with some. However you just have to really look into the suppliers profile look at prior customer reviews and also see how much theyve earned thus far including if they're verified. I chose a supplier that cost me slightly a little more than others offer because of those factors. Starting a small business I couldn't afford to make a vulnerable mistake this early in the game. Hope this help anyone starting out.

The Alibaba portal is great platform for approaching supplier in China. Regarding the quotation RFQ feature is really helpful for new buyers. The Trade Assurance is a peace of mind of overseas customers.
I bought 5000pcs of 99.99% kill bottles.
They all turned fake as it's just simple water in there not alcohol or ethanol in there.
Trade assurance is Joke I submitted proofs again and again 5 times and still didnot return monies.
The seller listing is still active and robing people money
AVOID ALIBABA.COM
BAN CHINA
I'm very happy with my supplier. Excellent customer service and the whole process of this platform has been great! Very happy to work with this platform!
www.alibaba.com is a site with lots of opportunities for small and medium scale enterprises where the sellers responde on time and the sometimes sellers give products below their said MOQs.
They are the best love to work with them i will soon buy more balls good high quality for pro games.
Used alibaba a couple of times now and I will keep using in the future. I had a little issue with the bank transfer option so I had to use credit card instead, which was more expensive. Otherwise I felt very safe and comfortable using the website
The supplier was very helpful and prompt in reply. She understood well our requirements. The quality of the sample was very good.
Very happy with the supplier. Easy to communicate and make business. There are several supplier to have comparison. Overall, they are all good.
Alibaba has it all and people are nice and trustworthy. I made friends amongst the people working on alibaba. Great experience
The goods were sent on time and of a very good quality. I will definitely order again from this company. Thank you very much.
Very good service for the moment. I will continue using the service waiting for new offers and new promotions
I enjoyed the way the website worked. But when I had an issue with the supplier sending boxes that were to small Alibaba wants more money to help. They wanted me to pay $500 for a mediator. Then there was no guarantee. If Amazon did this they wouldn't be where they are today. Why can't Alibaba stuck up for me?
I've never been ripped off on Alibaba yet, paying through Alibaba. It's been much more professional and safer than ebay in my opinion. Dealing with the time difference adds a little bit of time when making decisions.
I bought many shoes on Alibaba. The supplier is very nice and patient to answer all my questions. She helped me pick the correct shoe size and guided me to place an order in the store. The shoes are in great quality and I received them quickly from UPS! I will buy more from Alibaba!
I am from Kazakhstan and recently I only buy through your Alibaba website, as I am confident in the quality of products and the safety of my funds! Thank you! I really enjoy working with your wonderful team! May God grant you prosperity and more clients who can rightfully appreciate your excellent service!
I am grateful that I can meet many companies through Alibaba, and I will always use them in the future.
I have shopped at a lot of other online stores but Alibaba seems to just be the best.
The suppliers are very helpful and its always nice that you can chat to them and ask them questions about the product. There some amazing products/Gadgets on Alibaba for very decent prices compared to he other online stores.
Answer: Nothing you can do i was ripped off and alibaba wont help you i suggest that you have learnt a lesson dont trust Chinese companies more rip offs then good stories
Answer: Definitely not. I spent £1000 and never received goods and no money back
Answer: I would recomend to purchase only from people who have pay pal! And be carefull because there are a lot of sellers that just steal your money!
Answer: Do not do it!~ they are scammers. It is way to difficult to figure out who are scam sellers and who are not. And there idea of protection is a joke! Do not do it. If they are cheap there is a reason why... think about that! Dont do it!
Answer: Alibaba does not offer any protection from either scams or mistakes. Dispute resolution to them is you lose your money or pay more money and then lose it. Only pay with CC and then give alibaba 1 chance to fix then dispute with CC company and get money back. IMPORTANT in contract state that you get a full refund of any monies if their are any problems.
Answer: I would echo Hugh K's comments. Never ever rely on Alibaba whether the supplier is trusted or gold whatever. Insist on paying via PayPal. Ask seller to send you PayPal invoice and before making payment, call and confirm with PayPal if you are protected by PayPal in case seller doesn't deliver as promised. Personally, I stay away from purchasing via Alibaba. Try Dhgate.com. I'm doing all my business from this site
Answer: Hi Bud, this is Echo from Alibaba Customer Service. I checked the name you provided and this supplier came up: http://vuidding.en.alibaba.com/. If this is the supplier you are referring to, please click the following link to get live chat service from our service consultants: http://service.alibaba.com/buyer/contact_us.htm. They will check out the reputation of this supplier for you and provide you with some safe trading tips. Have a nice day!
Answer: If reading the reviews does not answer your question then nothing I say will have any effect at all on what you think. If you have read these reviews and you buy from this website then you must want to lose all your money, therefore it would be a better idea to give it to a worthwhile charity
Answer: This is what they tell you but in fact it doesn't happen. Alibaba only look after their traders. The traders buy gold supplier stars like we buy lollipops. Gold star supplier means nothing. Ghangzou Mega Beauty firstly showed 3 stars, the following week 4 stars, following week 5 stars and the next week 6 stars. I complained to Alibaba who don't care as long as they get the money. Now DHGate do not release the payment until you receive your goods. Buy from DHGate to ensure you are not scammed.
Answer: Theres a lot of corruption with the vendors on Aliababa... its russian roulette
Alibaba.com is the world's leading wholesale trade platform that connects buyers and suppliers from around the world.
