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.

This was our first order through Alibaba. I was a little hesitant to order direct from China but your people did a great job in communicating and following my package of connectors for Rosenberger Hard Line. I will be considering using Alibaba again in the future for additional products as the need comes around. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to express my thoughts and concerns regarding doing business through Alibaba.
Another perfect transaction with Sunity. Product quality is excellent. I compliment the shipping department. Several orders and never any shipping damage. I appreciate the shipping updates sent by Alibaba. Thank you Mr Nick Shiao for your good service including researching best shipping company. I remain a loyal customer, Don
Molto interessante per acquistare direttamente dai produttori se vuoi avviare una nuova impresa o fortificare la tua.
This is my first purchase with Alibaba and the transaction went smoothly. Have no complaints what so ever.
Our school was nervous ordering direct from China and so GLAD we did! It was a fantastic experience and the product was exactly as described.
Cool site to start a business and making contact with future supplier. Try step by step to make my little business with 3d printer and printing
Product is as described along lightening fast delivery, great price and the customer service was second to none, Kudos to Jenny who made this transaction easy and kept me very well informed every step of the way.
Look forward to many more transactions.

Very secure, and user friendly. Easy Access to tones and tons of suppliers adding with a secure payment system.
Don't buy computer from Alibaba You won't receive it, they are good in communicating but as soon as they get your money they are gone. Don't trust them
We're very happy to deal with products that supplied via Alibaba. But we mind that Alibaba and its suppliers should add detailed description and size specification on the weesite, if you would like to increase businesses with Japanese companies. We need to match our own gift packages according to the material/size of supplier's products. Only rogh information and blur photo of product are not enough for buying decision.
I hope thit would work for better buying experience.
One main advantage is Alibaba Will make it easy to you.
Disadvantages are...
No good communication with Alibaba
I do not like it when talking,,, to a robot, need an e-mail to talk to someone in reality.
Be careful, if you are buying as an individual you will pay a lot for shipping, taxes, and transportation
Do not look how much you will pay today,,, look what you will pay tomorrow
Before the product was shipped they made contact through Whatsapp and confirmed the order and delivery details. They also made frequent followups to ensure I got the product and that all was well. The product I bought was well packed and arrived in perfect condition. It also worked first time with no problems. I would certainly buy from this supplier again.
The misleading comments from "professional reviewers" of the "cheap chinese´s Amazon" are not true, the purchases so far has been on time, an the quality of the products are spectacular.
I got my supplies, quite quickly in fact. The only downside is the price of shipping. Another thing that would be nice is email updates, so I know when something has shipped. Sitting here waiting for the shipment to reach the US is nerve wracking.
Very well organised, payments are perfectly handled, full survey on all orders, perfect, delivery a bit delayed but the info was on time
China being thousands of kilometers away, Alibaba gives you the confidence to buy from China. It; s truly a market place for everything.
Good service and quality at the right price. Fast and efficeint communication. Understands requests and issues. Product well packed - choice of methods to suit any market. Excellent communications
The seller is so fast for answer any question, friendly, they have the best service I have work with. Shipping is fast from seller to shipping agency, then fast from DHL to home.
I would never reach China products without Alibaba. I am gratefull. Now I can discover all the potencial of China commerce.
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
