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.

Alibaba Suppliers
June 6, 2019

A note to all those people giving 5 stars to Alibaba. Since Alibaba is just a trading platform, you should be giving those stars to the suppliers that you dealt with and give them the proper credit by mentioning their names.
This way you will be helping a community from being ripped-of by all those scammers out there.

Bad Contract
June 6, 2019

All products were excellent, everything came exactly as the picture but the services is regular. They didn't ship on time and that affect my company and when I start reading the contract I notice that nothing makes Alibaba refund your money in a pretty soon time and for me that was really bad.

A lot to learn
June 6, 2019

A lot to learn to make shopping for Alibaba an extraordinary routine.

With the complications between the US trade policy with China, Mexicans and Chinese we should improve our trade.

Alibaba can be an excellent option to achieve better trade between China and Mexico. Maybe Alibaba could even give us a training to achieve better and safe purchases through the same Alibaba portal.
