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.

Minimum amount
March 19, 2019

As a small company I have problems to buy goods in small quantities. There is often a minimum amount but it is not respected. And if you find a seller who sells only 50 pieces, shipping is often more expensive than the goods. I do not have this problem with AliExpress, so I often buy there for my company.

Unprofessional
March 18, 2019

Alibaba closed my order and released payment before I received it. Reminders to close order and review transaction kept coming and I hadn't yet received the order. Order was automatically closed after 15 days. I received the order after 18 days. Replying to emails didn't get any response. Last email said mailbox was full.
On the other hand, dealing with the seller was very pleasant.

A wide variety of options available. Communication gap can be tedious depending on your time zone but as long as you are getting a response and persevere, it will happen. Also, make sure they have trade insurance as its great safety net. Overall very happy.
