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.

Looked for suppliers for a specific product we require.
Didn't receive a large amount of responses but did get contact with one supplier who is great to work with.
Payment of samples to be delivered to me through Alibaba was so easy to be able to pay by credit card. Thank you.

My first experience with alibaba
July 23, 2019

It has been very helpful to be able to buy the product directly from the factories, much cheaper for retailers like myself and definitely would continue shopping.

Good Expeience
July 23, 2019

Really Good work. No trust issues. Hassle free payments. Good exchange rates. One can make payments through credit card also. So this is really an amazing benefit for small import orders

A bit of a hassle of logging in and logging out. The browser system is ok.

I don't like the app on my phone. I prefer the desktop version because I have a large screen to easily look for products.

Items were shipped so quickly.
July 23, 2019

I feel comfortable with the Trade Assurance service, since it garantees me order, contract service is very clear and understaing, it is a great service for buyers, since we are not in situ, Alibaba is there for us and helps to make sure that our money is protected.

Refund application
July 23, 2019

I am very satisfied with Alibaba's handling of my refund. The matter was swiftly actioned by "Alice" with great appreciation. The dispute was for non supply (lack of communication from suppliers) Alice ensured she received all the relevant information from myself and from the supplier before making her decision to apply for full refund! As a business looking for opportunities in this vast market, we are grateful Alibaba are there to keep an eye things.
