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.

The Forwarder gave me wrong dimensions and Weight of my cartons, One of the carton is only 0.6 kg while they charged me 11 Kg.They did it by purpose to charge me more money otherwise this carton is not needed at all.there were only 4 small items in this small carton which could be placed in the big carton without any issue.They mislead me by not showing the actual carton and just dispatched it and sent me the above picture in which it is mentioned that the carton is 11kg while it is only 0.6 Kg. Also they removed plastic wrapping from one of my product as you can see in the attached screen shot, I told them not to open the product packing.While they are lying that I told them not to open the Carton.

Very straightforward
The correspondence with the seller also remains in the time series, and it is wonderful that the product, the delivery date, and the price are secured, which is easy to look over.

I have been restocking my business for a relaunch following the Covid catastrophe. I found Alibaba through a google search and decided to give it a go. It was a bit confusing for me at first because I was given so many vendors to choose from that could custom make my product. I finally selected a vendor to work with, and all I can say is the service he provides is excellent. I am beyond happy with the way business has been conducted from start to finish.

When ordering through Alibaba you know that the transaction is safe and secure and that the sellers are all verified and your purchase is covered in case of any issues. Superfast delivery times are also guaranteed and I have had nothing but excellent service.

Purchased refillable ink cartridge chips for the second time through Alibaba. The vendor was extremely communicative and helpful. The shipping was actually faster from China than some orders I have received from the US. Great experience!

I paid VAT to Alibaba and had to pay VAT when I declared again! Alibaba did not provide an IOSS number to declare. And the help center only responds with automated questions! I filled out the tax refund according to the requirements and it was rejected! My advice to private individuals is not to buy! Because you pay double VAT all the time! And you won't get help later!

I used Alibaba several times as a platform to connect with buyers, Ive been ripped of twice for thousands of dollars. Alibaba offers a complaint form. It requires you to upload documents to prove your case. Then it goes under review, I uploaded all required documents several times upon their request. These documents was proof that the buyers did not plan to produce the products and they stated they will not refund the money for the deposit required. Alibaba closed both cases stating they did not receive ANY documents what so ever. They do not have any type of contact info to reach out to them, There CROOKS! BUYER BEWARE!
