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 am in the middle of a dispute with Yiwu Chuanqi Household Goods Co., Ltd. since the beginning of June till now. I am at the risk of losing USD1800 now. A stack of product of poor quality which cannot be sold. I'm left with 2 options -

1. Sell and destroy my brand
2. Lose my USD1800 because the supplier is not willing to refund and Alibaba cannot help.

The supplier provides poor quality of the product which is different from what is shown on the platform. The reason given is that we negotiated for a lower price so which means to say - 'you negotiate a lower price, the supplier agrees and provides a lower quality product without informing'.

Please avoid this supplier - Yiwu Chuanqi Household Goods Co., Ltd. if you can help it.
If you must deal with them, you have been warned.

Alibaba should be strict with the suppliers on their platform, I mean seriously... there is no shortage of suppliers out there who will not want to use your platform.

Buyers are the ones who keep the platform alive, not the suppliers.

Ordering
July 26, 2020

Yes I had to order everything individually which made it hard to keep track of.
I know that it is different company's that I am order from but it would make it a whole lot easier if I could keep them together.

Timing of reviews
July 25, 2020

I received messages saying to me that my time to request for a refund was over when the product never reached my company yet. I think they dont pay attention to they are hiring as many of the sale representative dont want to try. Or if there is a problem with the product they no longer respond to you. I had set quite a big about to spent on here but i am close to change my mind,. Some things that they sales is so expensive that i would have to sale it here in Canada 4x the price to make a small catch up of my money after i am done paying for all the taxes... when they say 0.060- 0.070 that is a huge $%^%#&. I never received any really good price that makes me wanna come back but im gonna try one more time

Great place to fine sourcing outside the country. Safe to deal with and great transactions. I would suggest it to anyone starting a new business looking for suppliers or even an old business looking for new en-devours!

Her şey için teşekkür ederim. ürün kalitesi üst düzeyde. Tedarikçinin ilgi ve disiplini muhteşem. İş takibi ve müşteriye ilgi ve yardımcı olma, çözüm odaklı iş birliği harika. Yazışmalarda hızlı cevap almaktan memnunum. Ürün bedeli oldukça ekonomik olmasına rağmen, kargo, lojistik ve diğer bedeller biraz fazla Teşekkür ederim. İlerleyen zamanda tekrar çalışmayı düşünüyorum.
