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.

FIRST TIME USER OF THIS SITE!
May 17, 2019

Ofcourse you're apprehensive using this website from all the online reviews of people spending money and receiving poor quality products.

I myself was hesitant but the high prices I was receiving in the US made me willing to take the risk!

It was easy to sign up. It was easy to search for the product I needed. It was easy to send an inquiry. It was easy to communicate with sale representatives of companies I was interested in purchasing from. I like that the companies were verified. I like that Alibaba has a system where you can track your order and its set up just incase product is not up to par and a refund is needed.

In closing, I'm thoroughly surprised that I was able to purchase quality product from half way around the world with such ease.

Not very satisfied
May 17, 2019

We are disappointed byt the fact that almost every time we make an order through alibaba we realize that there is big deduction of money while transfering to the suppliers bank account. And we feel that alibaba doesn't protect us. So we next time we might not use alibaba to make an order!

Reliable online system.
May 17, 2019

Shipping agents selected should be more responsible. Their job is to deliver the product to buyer and have to make sure that the product is delivered. However, Issues resolved within short time.

The website itself is extremely straight forward and easy to navigate. The message centre is a brilliant feature. The site is brilliant in both PC and mobile format. Mobile format will give you notifications if you wish and has its own notification sound; so you know when it is Alibaba! It's been extremely safe to use. I love all the policies and contracts in place to ensure your safety on their site too, it gives you peace of mind. Alibaba has been essential in assisting me to find stock and products and manufacturers to launch my company. Alibaba also have manufacturers/suppliers from all over the world, so even if you preferred local manufacturers/suppliers you can filter you search for your specified region. (for example, united kingdom). 10/10 highly recommend.
