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.

Aside from the messaging app my Alibaba is experience is as smooth as it could be. If Alibaba can copy the messaging style in messenger and it will be perfect.

Weifang Kinger Towable Backhoe
July 10, 2019

Ordering from Alibaba.com was quite easy actually. The sales person that I dealt with was very knowledgeable and had very good communications. The initial price of the product was great although the shipping and handling fees along the route was a bit surprising. I suggest to anyone ordering from Alibaba.com to take into consideration that the shipping cost will be more than the initial shipping cost from the seller. The price of the backhoe with initial shipping was $2140 and with tarrif and other handling fees at the US mainland and broker costs it was a total of $3034. But I am satisfied with the end results
