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.

Great customer experience
September 28, 2019

The product is of very good quality.
The service very well also they have to respect the size with a small EU mention put by the supplier like ask in the email of the beginning. I recommend you to be a supplier for Europe.
I received the sample quickly super well packed with their contact card inside very professional. The sample size M for Europe is perfect and very very well sized. The lace is very well made.
Conclusion: Remain to see on more quantity for the next part, but very good start with the supplier SHANHAO Quality Lingerie.

Alibaba is the worst online marketplace
September 28, 2019

No customer protection system in place. Very biased on Chinese suppliers to sell fake products.

My first experience with Alibaba
September 27, 2019

My first experience with Alibaba was excellent, from communication, timely shipping, secure payment options, as well as the products that I purchased. (I used 2 different vendors)
I think some of the vendors would be able to sell more if they lowered their minimum purchase. They should keep in mind that a lot of the buyers coming from the US are small start-up businesses.
I am a very satisfied customer.
Pros: Easy to work with, secure payment options, timely shipping
Cons: Shipping cost extremely high in some cases shipping cost more than the product, minimums are not low enough for new businesses
