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.

Theives
May 26, 2019

I ordered a product from aliexpress that never arrived. I waited for the order since it said "out for delivery". When I realized it was taking too long and something was wrong alibaba wouldn't help. They never offered to resend the package and wouldn't give me a refund either. I feel completely robbed by Alibaba. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Purchased color book
May 27, 2019

I asked to see their fabric colors and they offered to send a color book with samples for free. I only had to pay for shipping. Customer support was super helpful and shipment only took two days to Europe.
