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.

Best experience
August 23, 2022

This was my first time ever on the site, and I got the name from a friend. I had NO idea what I was doing or even what to expect, but Sophia MoonHair made this as easy as possible. The hair is beautiful and I look forward to doing business with her again. Absolutely 5 plus stars!

Great selection and variety for outdoor clothing and home equipment. Be aware of sellers who pretend to sell from warehouses for "a better price" which isn't the case.

Keep it up, I bought a basketball net and it came very clean and without any damage. They sell pretty good stuff, also very cheap prices below the average. I fully recommend this.

I've been ordering from Alibaba for about 3 years now and I always have a good experience! All the suppliers I have worked with have been super helpful, professional, and kind. I have no problem ordering from Alibaba and will continue to do so.

I put a call out for a product and despite being very specific with my needs, I did get a few calls for other similar but entirely different items. Once I found the item I was looking for, it was very simple. I was expecing to find hidden charges, shipping etc but not so. The price quoted was inclusive of everything and abreakdown so I knew. I was also very happy they arrived within weeks not months! I will be back. It seems much better streamlined and user friendly than it used to be, which helped.

SCAMMER
August 12, 2022

I ordered a phone from this site and see below the business card of King Q. He calls himself. This was Oct 2021 and I'm yet to see my package. I put a trace and it's in the system as delivered. I went to delivery warehouse which is Aramex Carriers. It shows in their system as in the warehouse but when searched they found no package. This guy is good that he can send bogus shipping and tracking info. I learned my lesson everyone please stay away from this site and especially this King Q

Item not received
August 11, 2022

I would avoid Alibaba and stick to the honest online sites like Amazon and eBay.
I ordered an item in May and we are now in August and I have not received item.
I opened a dispute and the dispute was closed die to item in transit!
The item was shipped over 2 months ago!
DO NOT BUY FROM ALIBABA

Wigs
August 9, 2022

If your like me I was leary of buying a online site unseen wig on a Alibaba manufacturers site. You read reviews from poor to excellent. So how do you decide whom to buy from? To me it is all about the reviews. I concentrate on only positive reviews. Then I start a Q&A chat with the manufacturer. If we can communicate and the wig pictures are correct I buy from the seller. The key to a successful purchase is ask questions and see wig pictures. Do they have lace front. Do they have transparent lace. Discuss everything twice to make sure your both understanding each other. Neither you the buyer or the seller are "stupid". But you are two individuals from two different cultures speaking two different languages trying to communicate about a wig. I chatted on WhatsApp with Sheryl at Qingdao Shirui Hair and ordered a custom made Sheenreal wig. 12 hour time difference between us but Sheryl was always quick to reply on her work time and super helpful. Sheryl would send me pictures of the wig color, the wave, and center part style. I am confident we were in agreement on what I wanted. I like they have Jewish Kosher wigs. Just an extra assurance your getting a quality hair wig. The wig should be here in a few weeks. I will post pictures and update my review. The two main things that sold me on buying from Qingdao Shirui Hair are the hair is the Sheenreal brand and Jewish. Some other sellers were cheaper but they did not have Sheenreal hair. I decided to pay the extra money so I know I am getting a premium hair wig. I ordered a 20" wig in color #30 a ginger red color. I will have a local cosmatologist cut and style the wig with 8" bangs, a soft body wave, and layered 12" to 18". The red wig picture I attached is how it should look. I recommed Qingdao Shirui Hair and Sheryl.
