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.

A friend of mine
April 2, 2019

I didn't know much about this and that,
But they teach me a lot, offer me good prices, and cheer me up. As a business partner,
I think I will be a good friend in the future.
Thank you very much.

First to express is my admiration to the customer service, Johnny was professional and helpful.
My car is a Geely MR, I couldn't find some of the parts anywhere, but here you go, Johnny to the rescue, he was patient and professional although I kept asking to add and remove parts from the order.
Nice quality, fair price and super fast delivery.
I would highly recommend.

I recently purchased 10 Linkuan Led drivers from a supplier on Alibaba. At first i was hesitant, as it was the very first time i was buying something from a foreign website. But their trade assurance feature was something which gave me a feeling of backup in case my order was not met with what i was promised by their supplier.
Under Trade assurance there is 1) Payment protection -Trade Assurance will cover all payments made during the ordering process up to 30 days after you receive the goods.
2) Product-quality protection - Your order will be covered in the event that the product(s) do not match the details outlined in your contract with the supplier.
3) Shipping protection -Your order will be shipped on time according to the details of your contract with the supplier. In the event of a delay, you will be eligible for a refund.
4) Protection period - Your order will be protected up to 30 days after you receive the goods.
So overall i am very satisfied with their service.
