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.

Alibaba is trustworthy platform.
They provide and connect with many suppliers and customers.
I am very satisfied doing business in Alibaba.
Grazie alibaba.com per avermi aperto la strada verso il mio business di successo. Sono contento di tutto il servizio che offre
Sourcing is a complex thing, esp. When done online across continents. Using the platform makes it easier (still a lot of work) esp. Having all communication with the supplier in one place, incl. Order, quality assurance, shipment and payments.
Of course there are somethings that could be done better (like not opening new browser windows /tabs for almost all clicks) but thats the nature of such systems.
I absolutely love Alibaba. The company really provides all the assurances that a merchant such as myself would want. I love Trade Assurance.
Great site for checks and balances, very helpful for new trader. Sometimes was a little confused with all the communication but it was welcomed as i have just started trading and by taking the time to read and respond to communication made the purchase and shipping of my product great.
I am very satisfied with the service of Alibaba. Using several years and each time it's a good experience. I am sure that will be the client of Alibaba. Thanks to Jack Ma creating Alibaba and helping people from all over the world eran money and make life easier with Alibaba.
It was a pleasure making this deal in this platform, i have no doubt of that. Definitely i would repeat this deal in this platform.
The SIC rings we ordered was received in time and with high quality. We are not a big orderer but meet the professional and friendly communication. Thanks.
Easy to navigate and mobile friendly. Suppliers respond in a timely manner and product listings are clear
Impression of having a bot behind the chat?... Asking again and again "How many pieces I want", etc...
Easy process from A-Z. Aochi's staff, Yoyo, has a good grasp of English and provided me documentation & photos before I had even asked. Excellent service. Shipping was fantastic too.
As a first time user, Alibaba was so helpful + understanding
Its very easy to use. Thank-you will keep you in mind for other purchases.
Fast, good help, super fast and secure trading. Alibaba is a very helpful tool for business and I highly recommend it for any new opportunity seekers in doing business online
Mi experiencia en Alibaba fue muy buena. Fue la primera vez en comprar allí y lo seguiré haciendo. Brinda comodidad, flexibilidad y sobretodo impulsa el mercado.
Simple and straight-forward.
Arrived in 5 days, good quality products.
Very satisfied, will order again.
HI & hello Great experience with Alibaba so far.It's been educational & beneficial to me. All good. All good. All good. All good. All god. Alll. Good
I am very thankful that Alibaba provided this business transaction with a valuable supplier that provided EXCELLENT QUALITY!
Very professional company, easy to communicate, easy to find products.
So far I didn't have problems with all the items I have bought on Alibaba website
Answer: Nothing you can do i was ripped off and alibaba wont help you i suggest that you have learnt a lesson dont trust Chinese companies more rip offs then good stories
Answer: Definitely not. I spent £1000 and never received goods and no money back
Answer: I would recomend to purchase only from people who have pay pal! And be carefull because there are a lot of sellers that just steal your money!
Answer: Do not do it!~ they are scammers. It is way to difficult to figure out who are scam sellers and who are not. And there idea of protection is a joke! Do not do it. If they are cheap there is a reason why... think about that! Dont do it!
Answer: Alibaba does not offer any protection from either scams or mistakes. Dispute resolution to them is you lose your money or pay more money and then lose it. Only pay with CC and then give alibaba 1 chance to fix then dispute with CC company and get money back. IMPORTANT in contract state that you get a full refund of any monies if their are any problems.
Answer: I would echo Hugh K's comments. Never ever rely on Alibaba whether the supplier is trusted or gold whatever. Insist on paying via PayPal. Ask seller to send you PayPal invoice and before making payment, call and confirm with PayPal if you are protected by PayPal in case seller doesn't deliver as promised. Personally, I stay away from purchasing via Alibaba. Try Dhgate.com. I'm doing all my business from this site
Answer: Hi Bud, this is Echo from Alibaba Customer Service. I checked the name you provided and this supplier came up: http://vuidding.en.alibaba.com/. If this is the supplier you are referring to, please click the following link to get live chat service from our service consultants: http://service.alibaba.com/buyer/contact_us.htm. They will check out the reputation of this supplier for you and provide you with some safe trading tips. Have a nice day!
Answer: If reading the reviews does not answer your question then nothing I say will have any effect at all on what you think. If you have read these reviews and you buy from this website then you must want to lose all your money, therefore it would be a better idea to give it to a worthwhile charity
Answer: This is what they tell you but in fact it doesn't happen. Alibaba only look after their traders. The traders buy gold supplier stars like we buy lollipops. Gold star supplier means nothing. Ghangzou Mega Beauty firstly showed 3 stars, the following week 4 stars, following week 5 stars and the next week 6 stars. I complained to Alibaba who don't care as long as they get the money. Now DHGate do not release the payment until you receive your goods. Buy from DHGate to ensure you are not scammed.
Answer: Theres a lot of corruption with the vendors on Aliababa... its russian roulette
Alibaba.com is the world's leading wholesale trade platform that connects buyers and suppliers from around the world.
