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.

Outstanding service and delivery. Outstanding logo print. My choice of fabric that is wrinkle free and very breathable in a very hot Toronto summer. Great price. Alibaba makes everyone and anyone like a King or a Queen that can have anything on Earth (without paying riches for it). Thank you. Love your service.

First Experience
July 4, 2020

I had a wonderful experience with the supplier I found on Alibaba. My complaint is NOT with the supplier but with the crazy shipping costs charged by Alibaba. I do appreciate the Trade Assurance provided by Alibaba. Just watch your shipping costs and do your due diligence on any supplier you find on the platform.

This was my first time and i didnt loose my money it was very trusting. I have had others bad experiences with other providers, and I lost time and money because of the providers, pandemy and logistic. This provides the customer with an opportunity to communicate with the supplier and clarify any concerns about the product. The trade assurance provides peace of mind for the customer. The product was delivered within the estimated time. Overall a great experience shopping from alibaba.com. Will definitely be using the site in future for online shopping.

I have done thousands of dollars in business with them. I have never ever had a problem. Once I ordered something by accident, and was refunded that day... The products are exactly what you order nothing more or less.

Very good experience with this platform. Only faced issue on order modification and cancellation, with this unnecessary process, lot's of money waste due to conversion and banks + Alibaba charges. I'll suggest that Alibaba should have wallet for buyers, money land on Alibaba user ID and we as buyer can use that money for other orders. If in any case we need to our money back we can withdraw.

Thank you.

A great service!
July 2, 2020

"I am thrilled with the rapid and efficient delivery service which is important for my new business. Even with the impact of the Corona virus on our postal system in Canada and the USA, Alibaba was able to deliver our products quickly and in good condition. I am very impressed and will not hesitate to use them again."
