Alibaba Reviews Summary

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.

Great Platform
August 9, 2020

Excellent place if you are looking for manufacturers of any products, you name it you will find it. And they all seem to be genuine. I have ordered one product so far, i must say I was very satisfied with the quality of the product and their prompt communication.

I have been having a business for a while now.
- The listing is not showing the right information.
- The supplier doesn't really care about customer satisfaction. One supplier told me that he is going to ship me a random item as its a normal thing. It was a gold supplier.
-Here a lot of supplier says GOLD but the service they are providing totally junk.
- shipping cost unmanageable. Same-day for the same kind of item from same city I get two different prices from 2 different companies. When you asked about the difference they just don't answer.
- The reason Chinese suppliers behave relax because no one is warning them from Alibaba. Whatever they do, they still do their business the way they are doing it.
-Poor quality packaging and items.
- The only good thing is trade insurance and works pretty good so you are absolutely feeling safe
- I started to choose my supplier from Taiwan, Pakistan, Japan, and Turkey more now.
-Either we do purchase or not purchase we need to able to rate suppliers, Alibaba needs to work on our review and educate its supplier.
-SERIOUSLY! We do international business, I feel like I'm in contact with the Deli which is on the corner. Nothing professional.

Was very skeptical about using this site and was cautious because of the cost of shipping on the items. We placed one order and it came back faster and better than expected. I like the site for buying products for our store. And I will continue to use. I have not had any issues yet with any supplier, however I try to make sure that Im using the ones that have trade assurance and are verified.

I was very pleased with the product. However the postage cost and tax put the purchase price of £12 to £35. I can still make a profit.

It is a great achievement from the chemists of this firm to obtain from a root such high purity ferulic acid with such a narrow melting point 170to 170,5°C. It is not equal for the health effect of ferulic acid for diabetes for instance. Synthetic ferulic acid is without a physiological effect, ferulic acid from asafoetida root is highly effective of lowering blood sugar two hours after meal.

I'll admit it took me 30-45 minutes to figure out how it all worked. But, after that... smooth sailing. My package only took about 1 week to get here.
