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.

Catalyst purchase
July 2, 2019

I decided to make an order. A company representative helped with ordering, and also answered all my silly questions. We also waited without any problems and questions while our company moved to new areas and while financing allowed us to place an order. Representatives of the company communicated politely and professionally. I recommend to talk with representatives if you have questions, respond quickly enough considering the time difference with Ukraine.

Made an order. It was shipped by a terrible shipping company called Aramex that doesn't notify the assignee that the goods have arrived in the country and the amount to prepare taxes. Called them up to have them initiate the tax clearance process and they lied in their system noting that they tried calling. About a fortnight late already they deliver to the wrong location, even though I had provided them the delivery address. In their system they lied again saying the reason the goods were not delivered was because the payment was not prepared. This is not true as they didn't even reply to inform us of the amount to prepare for the tax. Goods arrived too late and a deal was lost. Late liars working with Alibaba are bad for business. I will make sure to request to not ship by Aramex. The worst shipping company in my decades of trade.

Product quality is acceptable with the price
I arrived to my country on the established date, although in customs the customs clearance took a few days, its rate is expensive

Alibaba wants to help you and support you in having any claims? But wait until you try to use it. I sent 5 hours today without success in making a claim. My bank does not have a swift code to return my funds, so they won't file my claim? They won't talk to me, and when Anna comes on she has no idea what the heck she is doing! Let them find a source but never use there service!
