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.

I pusrchased 270 incense burners from a supplier. And paid 810$ without shipping. But he sent me different designs and sizes than what i ordered and: they were smaller and lighter. 19 of them are damaged. And no invoice has been sent.
I opened a dispute to get an amount of 150 which would be the least difference value bwetween my order and what i received.
The supplier offer to refund only 50 $. I refused his offer.
And sent photos to the dispute team showing that we agreed about specific products. And that i received something else.
And sent them fotos of the damaged goods.
But they closed the case by no refunding me nothing.

And i still didnt get any invoice of the supllier.

Never Alibaba.com
August 3, 2020

Since the seller, after paying the price of the 2 shoes and the postage, asked for extra money for the shoes, which I refused to pay, the price of the shoes was returned. Unfortunately, due to the transaction fee, I only got back 285 Euros instead of the 311 Euros, what I paid. The attitude of Foshan Chengying company and Alibaba is terrible. I think the difference should have been paid to the Foshan Chengying company and this is so fraud, alibaba. Comm will help you in this instead of protecting customers. Never again Foshan Chengyin, never again alibaba. Com
