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.

Good marketplace
July 14, 2020

It's a great place to make an order directly from the factory and discuss the parameters with the manufacturer.

Very happy. Out of all Orders, which are in the 50 single transactions, we had only one issue with a supplier. Alibaba stepped in and helped to find a very good resolution. Products and People are awesome.

Alibaba is for buying usually big volumes of stuff so you need to contact a custom clearance company of the customs entry port of your country and pass the goods through customs. The custom clearance company will deliver the last leg of the transport. Alibaba like eBay for wholesalers, and is an intermediary so you should check the reviews carefully. In my case it was all good!

I have ordered the wires to use as nose pieces to make face masks. Seller was very helpful, replied very quickly and professionally. I asked to cut the wires longer than usual, and it was done as I expected it! I have placed the order on July 3rd, and had the package in my hands in Alaska, USA early morning July 13 (that included production time, custom cutting, packaging, preparing shipment, sending it with UPS, flying to US and delivering to my house - very impressive! Especially considering that some of these days fell on the weekend days). I recommend the seller and their products!

This has been going on for half of year with a promise of a refund. What is the point of purchasing on Alibaba.com if I don't even have buyer protection. I followed all the steps your website wanted for a purchase now I'm wasting months and lots of time chasing for a refund! And what kind of service is this when management won't even step in. For such a big company this is absolutely disgusting customer service And I'm absolutely appalled!

Para ser mi primera compra me siento satisfecho, por la calidad del servicio y el tiempo de entrega. No creo que las plataformas de compras on line sean seguras, por esa razón el usuario debe ser muy cuidadoso. Considero que el metodo de pago debe varias según el monto de la transacción.
