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.

Received in perfect condition, fast shipping. Excellent attention from your Commercial Assistant in China. Very happy with the purchase. The product purchased is an excellent quality phone, as described in the purchase process
It is easy to search and find the products that you need on the Alibaba website. There are so many suppliers to choose from. My last purchase was USB Flash drives. Great place for wholesale shopping.
I used Alibaba to purchase real stone veneer from China. The process was simple and I saved nearly 10k from purchasing the product in USA.
Make business easy, comfortable and reliable. Chat is so easy on Alibaba. Everystep was reliable and comfortable.
This is my second time to order from suppliers in Alibaba. So far, both were successful and I am satisfied with both purchases. Will buy again from Alibaba suppliers.
So far, shopping on Alibaba has been going well. I think they should warn EU customers that because of Covid-19 the faster courier can lead to a huge price increase because the customs fee is calculated based on the price of the product + shipping if shipping costs more than 22 and, as of January 2021, even if shipping costs below 22 it will always be included in the calculation of the customs fee. It is indecent, but it is the law in the EU, so beware!
Once you learn from here and there, how it operates, AliBaba is just amazing. Yes, there can be pitfalls but you don't blame them, you learn and try again. It's a really great place to get anything you need with satisfaction, but you must be smart to communicate and order.
Great platform for buying/importing products. Site was reliable and enabled the sellers to communicate timely information with me.
I have made close to 10 purchases on Alibaba and I have always been happy! Recently, I asked Alibaba for help in several areas and the help I received was great. Not only did they tell me how to avoid expensive mistakes, but they always want the customer to be completely satisfied! I will be ordering again soon, and I hope to be a loyal customer!
I just made my second transaction with a company I found on Alibaba. Alibaba makes me feel safe shopping on-line. I can't see the products in person but this site provides protection and recourse if I am not satisfied.
We purchase some accessories or promotional items from Alibaba. It works out well for us. We learn that most (~90%) of the suppliers are very professional.
I found Alibaba support all along the purchase process very useful and accurate. Everything went flawless.
A good supplier service:
Item received fast and in good condition.
Thank them for being professional, patient, friendly and helpful.
Nothing bad to say, all very good from sending to receiving she was there for me.
Will buy again. Good communication
I am Amazed, they are very professional and reliable. It was a good expierience with so many suppliers offering their products. And of course the way they manage the delivery of products. Thanks a lot
Llego el pedido dentro de los plazos previstos buena experiencia, la forma de pago de las tarjetas locales es el problema
I made several purchases in Alibaba.com always carefully in order to can use Alibaba Protection for Buyers.
The system doesn't work and I had 2 situations then had to apply to Alibaba.
In the most serous situation, because the value of the transaction and because it was too obvious that was a fraud, I decided to open a dispute. Is not easy and requires several steps and Alibaba.com always decide for the seller.
Don't use Alibaba.com I'd you don't know the seller. The sellers pay and Alibaba.com wants to keep the clients satisfied.
Alibaba has been a valuable resource in locating new suppliers. I really value the services they provide. I plan to continue to use them for the foreseeable future.
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/.

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
Alibaba.com is the world's leading wholesale trade platform that connects buyers and suppliers from around the world.
