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.

Trade Assurance FAIL
There's no any trade assurance. They are using this term only to market their product and entice more buyers.
3 weeks ago I bought 2000 ring+necklace and paid 2200USD.
The seller sent me completely different stuff like bitcoin coins and boxes and other kind of rings. See the attached images.
Alibaba Trade assurance didn't help me and now is telling me to contact INTERPOL?
They are biased and opinionated and protecting their own sellers.
My money is wasted and I also paid 1000Tax before I open the box and know what was actually inside.
NEVER TRUST EVER AGAIN.

The best way for business
December 14, 2019

Many supplier, easy to find items and suppliers.
But, still can't sure they are trader or factory.
And, prices on web page is little bit different with real price.

Alibaba service was OK. Aldough I am not so satisfied with supplier. The shoe sizing was different comparing with other suppliers. It´s one or two size smaller than regular ones.

Alibaba is an excellent source for finding products, manufacturers and suppliers with the added benefit of 'Trade Assurance'. This is a contract protecting both buyer and supplier rights during transaction and delivery, an invaluable peace of mind.

Endless amount of products but Alibaba.com fees are too high. Wish it was a little cheaper or maybe offer discount if you buy a lot from them

Complicated
December 11, 2019

It's really complicated for new users. Make user-friendly. And also lots of suppliers don't have the correct stock what they have advertised. Customers are frustrating.
