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.

Good first impression
July 19, 2019

Overall, my first experience ordering from Alibaba was good. Most of the vendors I contacted replied quickly and most were professional. The supplier I purchased from was very helpful and professional.

First time I have used it
July 19, 2019

Fantastic experience, took all my concerns about working with a Chinese company away. I would certainly recommend using the Alibaba guarantee service, it removed all worries about buying from a new company.

Its a good system to work with although I had some trouble with the messaging service through the alibaba message centre between my computer and ipad. Also the layout could be better.

I tried to create an account but something is wrong,.
It keeps telling me you have an account although I don't and when I try to access "the account" it says you don't have an account.

I wish you fix the problem and give me the opportunity to create A REAL ACCOUNT on Alibaba.

Thanks

Good
July 19, 2019

Very professional, Online shopping for so many years, this is the first time I take it so seriously. I cherish uneasy mood with the phone staring at the screen, do not dare to start. I am afraid that once I speak out, the boss will think I am sucking up, is not to want to for that a few dollars of red envelopes, and afraid that my evaluation will mislead later Internet users.To write this review, I plucked up the courage to drink three beers before I felt confident. Remember the first time drink or to the first love vaunt of that day, today is the same mood, go all out, in order not to disappoint the boss to my expectation, I will be objective, fair, truthfully write down his evaluation: this is my happy online shopping, thank you!

Sparhawk Model Oar Experience
July 18, 2019

This is my first experience ordering through Alibaba. There was poor communication between Alibaba, my company and the supplier which made the process of getting the products to us on time slow. I would recommend that Alibaba play a bigger role in the beginning of the process and the end being that they have better communicators.

I love this biomat and has been using it almost daily to detox myself. It has 77 large jade stones and 70 tourmaline. The controller is easy to use. And I even have proton lights and PEMF in it.
