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.

I purchased shoes from a supplier. Heels started breaking, sent pictures from customers to show heels breaking. Alibaba would not refund unless I paid for a $500 quality inspection. Why would I have to pay for a quality inspection if I sent several pictures from different customers showing broken heels?
The information the supplier gave was very helpful they also know what i wanted and it came in the time frame i wanted.
Be patient when shopping on this site. You might purchase from a vendor, but then later find a better deal for the same product/quantity! Some of the shipping costs may discourage a small business investor, but if you're patient enough to click on almost every comparable vendor, you'll find a great deal! I think I found several vendors including free shipping and 50-100 pieces for $14.00. Depends on your budget and what you're really looking for. Many vendors even help you with your labels if you buy enough pieces from them.
I was very satisfied with Alibaba in helping me to get in touch with the supplier to clarify a misunderstanding.
I ordered a memory card. The seller is outgoing. Advised. Shipped fast. But the order was not delivered. Apparently lost on the Belarusian post.
This is the second item I purchased. All I have to say is be patient. They are going to make it right for you.
Great platform. The supplier is very honest. I consider Alibaba the best and safest platform with the largest selection of sellers and manufacturers. Best recommenditation!
Swimming doll is exactly what I ordered. The quality very good. I will order from supplier again. Sammi was very helpful in getting my order out and helping me find products.
This site has been very useful for producing pins and patches. I appreciate the secure process and the ability to browse various manufacturers easily.
Alibaba has given my company the opportunity to easily communicate, source and sample different products from what is normally not available in our local region. The advanced filter system, professional suppliers and manufacturers and RFQ features are some of our most favourite tools and advantages of the site. A great and trustworthy site.
Supplier personnel is very accommodating & straight forward. The saleslady of the supplier is very patient in assisting me in choosing the good products that I needed. Communication is continuous from the shipping process up to its final arrival, the saleslady deserves praises for her unselfish service.
Après 2 commandes seulement, je suis très satisfait d'Alibaba.
Au niveau prix et délai de livraison, il n'y a rien à redire.
Bravo, continuez comme ça!
Alibaba is such an amazing platform to work with. So easy to use. After i made the booking all updates been very spot on. Amazing stuff guys.
The supplier was awake all the time it seems, Quick answers and good service, recommended! The items a bought was the way it was described. Perfect start!
Easy to deal with reliable suppliers and find the right product for our customers, who want small quantity
It takes me time to learn how to order via Alibaba website but I am happy after ordering in China though Alibaba. Alibaba trade assurance service is so great!
I received all of them in short time and good condition and high quality. Many thanks
Easy access to many different suppliers. I will continue using Alibaba for future business oportunities. Greatly recommended.
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

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
