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.

It is my first time to use Alibaba and I am so grateful that I did. Thank you so much for this wonderful experienced that I was able to find the products that I have been looking for.
Buen servicio, productos., Recomiendo usar Alibaba para tus compras futuras es un gran sitio con infinidad de productos a elegir 100% recomendado.
El proveedor con quien compre productos excelentes y buena calidad
Alibaba should guaranty the quality of the product on it website. This the second time that I bought tea on your site and the quality is mediocre. How can an international customer like me trust to by a product on your site if you don't guaranty the quality of the product they are going to receive.
Very Professional great service easy communication fast shipping easy to order! Positive experience!
I'm loving Alibaba so far! All of the vendors I've worked with are professional, prompt with their responses, and do what they say they will do. I feel secure knowing I have Alibaba backing me in case anything goes wrong. Great experience so far!
First order on Alibaba. Found what I needed. Arrived on time. I used the different rating shown to choose my supplier. Very satisfied with the whole process. I will use it again for sure.
Going into international import & export business without alibaba would be like going to sea without a life belt

On time delivery, quality service. I was very satisfied with the overall support i got from the seller. She is very responsive and always willing to resolve issues

Really like to make orders in alibaba. Supplier offering and comunication is very good. I have orderder a few times a everthing good
I'v been contacted by one of the 2 sellers ( tempering machine) they say that their email has been unusable for 2 months and that now they are up and running again.
They also promised than in 1/2 week a replacement machine will be ready for shipping.
On the meantime also an Alibaba Rep contacted me.
So I'll keep you all posted on the matter.
Cheers
I purchased 5 times:
- The first 3 purchases involved only packaging and everything went well.
Problems comes when you buy mechanical or equipment...
- First time from a Company called Shangai Baoju Machinbe Co LTD.
We purchased 2 food trailers for roughly 10000 USD
Once received we checked them ( straight away) poor ( if not dangerous) welding, poor building, we had to rewire all the traffic lights as they didn't work properly, rewire the entire electricals, replace the water pumps, replace so many things... they come up more pricey that any trailer that we could have been ordered here in New Zealand.
Since then we purchased other food trailer all here in New Zealand and at the end the cost was lower than the Chinese ones ( if calculating shipping and fixing them)
No way to have any spare parts from the manufacturer they didn't even reply to our emails... No support from Alibaba.
- 10 Months ago we purchase a tempering machine ( 3000 USD including shipping) from a Company called
Chengdu LST Technology Co., Ltd, this machine worked for 25 minutes than caught fire... we asked them to supply a replacement unit, thet emailed us and they agreed... then after 2 months we have no news about the replacement unit, and they are not replying to our emails.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALIBABA SAYS:
We will not handle complaints related to product conformity, damage, or shortage.
So at the end there is little if any buyer protection, they just cover you with insurance ( extra cost) for the actual product delivery. But then if the product is not what promised, if doesn't match your expeditions or the promise build quality, if isn't working, if is just unusable than it's you business.
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS CHINESE SCAMMERS.
Reliable and safe service, with excellent customer service. I was also reassured knowing that my purchase was secure
For sculptural work, the array available is great. Traditional to the latest thing, it is all there.
Great place to buy quality for cheap I love it :) most companies are great some not that great but overall i am satisfied
Trustworthy, reliable, and professional approach to B2B transactions. An excellent product catalog and order process facilitates ease and financial confidence.
Thanks Alibaba for joining us in every negotiation. Is a good provider and a good service, the chat services is very good
Answer: Nothing you can do i was ripped off and alibaba wont help you i suggest that you have learnt a lesson dont trust Chinese companies more rip offs then good stories
Answer: Definitely not. I spent £1000 and never received goods and no money back
Answer: I would recomend to purchase only from people who have pay pal! And be carefull because there are a lot of sellers that just steal your money!
Answer: Do not do it!~ they are scammers. It is way to difficult to figure out who are scam sellers and who are not. And there idea of protection is a joke! Do not do it. If they are cheap there is a reason why... think about that! Dont do it!
Answer: Alibaba does not offer any protection from either scams or mistakes. Dispute resolution to them is you lose your money or pay more money and then lose it. Only pay with CC and then give alibaba 1 chance to fix then dispute with CC company and get money back. IMPORTANT in contract state that you get a full refund of any monies if their are any problems.
Answer: I would echo Hugh K's comments. Never ever rely on Alibaba whether the supplier is trusted or gold whatever. Insist on paying via PayPal. Ask seller to send you PayPal invoice and before making payment, call and confirm with PayPal if you are protected by PayPal in case seller doesn't deliver as promised. Personally, I stay away from purchasing via Alibaba. Try Dhgate.com. I'm doing all my business from this site
Answer: Hi Bud, this is Echo from Alibaba Customer Service. I checked the name you provided and this supplier came up: http://vuidding.en.alibaba.com/. If this is the supplier you are referring to, please click the following link to get live chat service from our service consultants: http://service.alibaba.com/buyer/contact_us.htm. They will check out the reputation of this supplier for you and provide you with some safe trading tips. Have a nice day!
Answer: If reading the reviews does not answer your question then nothing I say will have any effect at all on what you think. If you have read these reviews and you buy from this website then you must want to lose all your money, therefore it would be a better idea to give it to a worthwhile charity
Answer: This is what they tell you but in fact it doesn't happen. Alibaba only look after their traders. The traders buy gold supplier stars like we buy lollipops. Gold star supplier means nothing. Ghangzou Mega Beauty firstly showed 3 stars, the following week 4 stars, following week 5 stars and the next week 6 stars. I complained to Alibaba who don't care as long as they get the money. Now DHGate do not release the payment until you receive your goods. Buy from DHGate to ensure you are not scammed.
Answer: Theres a lot of corruption with the vendors on Aliababa... its russian roulette
