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 App Ever
August 2, 2019

Totally satisfied, I have learned a lot about business. I started doing business here without knowing anything. I have learned a lot, there have even been ups and downs and now I always recommend using the Alibaba application in accordance with all instructions, so that there is more guarantee and security in each transaction and, finally, better business. Thank you Alibaba for being such an important tool for the development of world trade. God bless you. Greetings from Lima, Peru.

For someone who has never done anything like this before and was very hesitant, I believe the experience was great because of the user friendliness of Alibaba. Also had great experience with supplier and representative Camila Ma

Boleto´s method payment
August 1, 2019

I had many problemas to pay via boleto. The support from Alibaba doesn´t solve it. I tried a lot and change the orders many times with the supplier until finally works. What is the solution? I don´t know.

A great resource!
August 1, 2019

Alibaba is a great resource for finding product at the right price or hard to find elsewhere.
A good way to find new suppliers and new and innovative product.
Most suppliers have a good choice in urgent and non-urgent freight options and options for quantity discounts.

Repair
August 1, 2019

I do not know if I needed Alibaba or the trade assurance for this order. The company I ordered from did everything to make good with my order. But Alibaba was there to make sure they did the right thing if the company had not taken care of my issues on there own. I guess I would say I am glad Alibaba it there for piece of mind as a mediator because these orders are delivered from a long distance away and if they do not work as promised it could be difficult to get satisfaction.
