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.

Dont trust alibaba
May 30, 2025

SCAM Seller on Alibaba – Xian Triumph Tech Co., Ltd. I paid €4,300 to Xian Triumph Tech Co., Ltd. on Alibaba for a professional beauty machine. What I received was one defective device that does not work and has nothing to do with the product they advertised. The seller altered the listing and order details after shipment to avoid responsibility. They refused to issue a refund and kept offering fake technical "support" to avoid the issue. I have provided full proof: photos, videos, screenshots, and invoices to Alibaba's Buyer Protection. This case is under dispute, and I will not stop escalating until I receive a full refund. 🔺 Be warned: This seller is dishonest, manipulative, and unethical.
Avoid Xian Triumph Tech Co., Ltd. at all costs!

Every few years I buy caps as a little 'give back' to my pig hunters that come out here from the east coast capital cities to reduce my numbers of feral animals!

I purchased natural stones for $417.5, the seller sent me fake stones. With gemstone laboratorium I submitted the dispute asking for refund. The seller is no responsibilities at all. Alibaba is keep asking me for video unboxing and certificate which I had sent multile times, but they have no intention to play fair to the buyer. It is useless raising a dispute there, you will talk to a system AI Robot to solve it without thoroughly checking your evidences. Please don't buy here if you don't want to be scammed.

Hello Alibaba, I recently attempted to purchase a 2024 Polaris RZR from your Alibaba storefront. The person I dealt with is named William Scar, and it appears he may be renting access to Akoukou Auto Mobile verified seller account. I paid him $1,300 for the vehicle, only to be hit with additional demands: $1,000 for "insurance" $1,500 for "exit and delivery" $630 for a final delivery fee I paid everything except the final $630, at which point delivery was refused. I now have strong evidence this was a scam, including two contracts, multiple invoices, and a fake shipping company website that has since been taken down. I am about to file complaints with the FTC, BBB, and Alibaba, and I am preparing a public MP4 video that will reach over 1 million people on Facebook and Reddit. Before doing so, I'm giving you the opportunity to respond and assist, including a request for a full refund of the $3,800 I paid through PayPal. If you are unaware of this situation, I hope we can correct this together. Please let me know how you intend to proceed. I have approved you this way because I tried to go through the proper channels, but was unable to complete the complaint without an ID of the company.

Allied Air Enterprises, LLC, through Alibaba.com, took my money on a purchase I made, and they never delivered the item. I have a purchase order on hold and will most likely buy in the US. Don't buy through Alibaba.com. They will not help you if the seller steals your money. Dr. Daniel Hay

The printed instructions are totally useless and the video is only a little better.
It's also extremely difficult to assemble with only one person. Most of the labeling was in English with a few components in Chinese which made it a bit of a guessing game. I'm not sure how well the cover will hold up in the desert sun, it seems a little thin. Communication was great with very quick order processing. After two weeks, it already leaks from rain.

The seller claimed it was a household device, but it was actually classified as a medical device in Japan. Misleading labeling caused customs issues. Return was refused, and only a partial refund was given after a long dispute. Very disappointed. Alibaba should strive for more globally responsible business practices.

After creating a request on Alibaba I became many responses and offers, and at the end I managed to get what I needed for a very reasonable price, although the shipment price was really costly, much more than I thought it could be. On the other side the package came right to my door, without some authority checks and/or additional taxation (EU here).

I purchased an E bike and was extremely happy with the service, quality, customer assistance, updates on my delivery, and speed of delivery from the time of placing my order. The whole process was simple, and the staff very helpful throughout. The bike was very well packaged and fully protected. I can highly recommend this company.

Look no further for ordering product from overseas. Alibaba has made the process seamless and safe! Your orders are secure, the down payments are reasonable. I am VERY pleased with all that Alibaba does to make overseas purchasing effortless. Thank you!

I really like buying goods on this platform.
Make delivery to Azerbaijan accessible!
The only thing that prevents us from using this platform more often is the expensive delivery of large goods to our country. We need to look for an alternative option.
