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.

Just awesome
September 17, 2019

It was an awesome experience buying goods on Alibaba. Prices are competitive enough to get lowest offers while the products are of high quality. I definitely will continue using Alibaba for my personal and business need.

Bait and Switch
September 17, 2019

All in all, I LOVE Alibaba. I give them a 1 star to make sure the team will read this concern.

Alibaba staff - You need to make sure that the seller removes the products if there is no inventory or no longer in production. This is happening often when I buy. Sellers advertise and then tell buyers that they don't have inventory and try to sell something else, but when you go back and search, the same products show up being available.

One buyer even advertises a product that no longer is in production and tried to sell me a complete different item that I have no interest in.

I'm supposed to buy a high-grade dart board sisal, but I received a very poor quality product, stained, obvious defects in the paint, with holes in the joints of the sisal rolls, without the anti-glare ring, it looks like a product Second category. I attach the same images that I sent to Steve Yu, marketing manager of weloncreative.com
I'm waiting for a quick solution from Steve Yu. I attach the corresponding photographs

My experience with this seller was OK. Communication and shipping were slow. One item was wrong size and material, but both items were good quality.

Ik vind jammer dat er wanneer een bestelling geplaatst en betaald worden de verkopers als nog een bericht stuurt dat de gekochte artiekelen te goedkoop zijn en verzoekt je om als nog het verschil bij te betalen, ik vind het een soort oplichting.
