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.

I got the saw 22. 3. 2019. I think the price (100 e) of the saw can be lower and the transporting costs (70 e) too. The taxes was about 70 euros. But the saw works well. I have not worked with saw, I only looked it runs well.

I received 20,000 defective packaging bags. The bags tear is chucks and the foil material delaminates from the plastic. I have submitted pictures and videos of the defective bags and even took pictures and videos of conforming bags to compare with. I finally found a vendor that can produce good bags. I sent them one of the defective bag and they commented on the substandard product. And still Alibaba will not honor the contract. Disgusting!
