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.

Paying by bank is a nightmare.

Instructions on bank transfer were unclear, buyers are better off paying using their credit cards...

Great experience.
March 6, 2019

Didn't know what to expect ordering from alibaba, but I am glad I did. I didn't realize all the things you could buy on alibaba. I have helped my parents buy many of their supplies for their business. I have had a good experience and the communication with suppliers is usually very easy and the responses are very fast. Shipping has been good and products are packed well.

Excellent - it was very easy and the payment options were easy, only the shipment costs were not clear and I had to pay nearly half of the cost of product in shipping - also all the suppliers were not easy to contact

Best Website

It makes finding a factory or a supplier in china so easy. No need to visit china to find the products you need. Great RFQ system makes it easy to find best prices and best suppliers.

Recommend this supplier!
March 6, 2019

First recommend this supplier, then the delivery time is very punctual, and quality of the goods received is very good, the color and shape of the products are in line with the description of supplier. After I received the bottles and put in my own product for a few days, I don't found any bad problems.
Special thanks to Jessica's service, very patient and timely to help me solve various problems. I will place the order again next time.
