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.

It is difficult finding a site that sells American made goods with a interface that works as well as Alibaba's. Competition is good, war is bad, and a re-balance is inevitable. Thank you for your excellent service.

Very convenient
November 3, 2019

It' very convenient business if your buy is on most bulk, the answers get some delay due to the difference continent and time, othere than that it's just fine, also the most inconvenient thing is there is No customer Service you talk to only online, so you have to deal with it.
I hope this help. Thanks

I ordered a simple piston filling machine. The paiment were done thru on Alibaba webpage, what I feel confortable and safe.
But when I sent the amout to the suplier, Alibaba charged me some money transaction fee. First it was quiet big amount I think.
The problem is there is no documentation about this fee! How can I put it in book keeping? It will be a problem for me for TAX office.
