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.

Scammers
May 29, 2019

I will never order shoes AGAIN on this site.
ALL THE SHOES WERE CHEAP AND ONE PAIR MATERIAL WAS PAPER THIN, COULD BE TORN WITH MY HANDS AND THE BUCKLES WASNT MADE CORRECTLY! THESE COMPANIES DONT WANT TO REFUND ME. I SPENT THOUSANDS ON ITEMS WHICH I CANT SELL. MOST OF THE COMPANIES DO BAD BUSINESS!
After spending thousands of dollars the only clothes that was nice came from Dongguan and I had a problem with them regarding pricing.
There was problem with ALL of the companies.

PRICING BY SUPPLIERS
May 29, 2019

Suppliers advertise listing pricing on their items which are a 'BAIT AND SWITCH" tactic. Alibaba does nothing about false listing prices.

We had an issue with a supplier that changed shipping terms from pre-agreed terms and over-inflated their charges. Alibaba took the gold rated suppliers side whatever evidence was uploaded. Supplier blamed Brexit for spiralling costs, but Brexit hasn't even happened. We will be looking elsewhere in the future. Trade assurance provides very little extra protection other than that you would have by law anyway. Considering the fees, Alibaba should be providing buyers with more customer support / protection but instead have an antiquated dispute resolution and a biased service that leans heavily towards gokd rated suppliers in their country of origin.
