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 was shipped towels that I ordered. ** rated company. I received scraps from their junk bin. When i complained I was advised i had to go through arbitration. JOKE. Supplier offered to take them back if i paid shipping. Shipping would cost what my refund would be. I rejected the offer. Arbitrators then ruled in favor of supplier.
By far Alibaba has been nothing but pain. I was a victim of fraud through their website. I'm trying to resolve this matter and there none a single person that you can speak by phone, everything is by automatic email and now even I filed a claim in my account this claim is gone! It no longer exists. I don't know what Alibaba is thinking but it looks like that they are the one and the reason why people like me getting scammed. Because they don't really seems to care what exactly is happening. There is also a huge language barrier with this company as don't really understand what the exact problem is. This has been noting but frustration and money lost. I don't recommend to anyone even bother to deal with this company or there platform. Plus the prices and quotes they give you are joke. They asked me to pay $100 for a small bottle sample and the prices are almost the same as on Amazon. This company should be out of business. Outrages business practice, no customer service at all, I guess there working only computer and robots, not common sense. Keep doing what you dong and you'll get what you deserve!
This site is filled with scamers. Don't do it. I've tried to buy off two different companies and lost all my imvestment. Even if you go with their secure payment. It's still not good. It all seems like hit or miss on scamers. Better if you stay away
When you are buying from foreign countries you need to have a reliable customer service source available on the page. Obviously when I am dealing with a Chinese supplier and there is an issue with the order we are going to have problems. For example, I just ordered $411 AUD worth of SMS units 15 days ago and they have no shipped. There for having exceeded the alotted time on the contract. Well, who am I supposed to talk to about this to decide if I need to create a dispute? Alibaba NEEDS A MIDDLE MAN. Stop being cheap Alibaba we know you make millions.
It is 9th time i am buying from Alibaba. High tech machinery, adhesives, abrasives,
Concrete polishing equipment and etc.
May be i am extremely lucky but all the time customer service outstanding, very high quality. As for pricing i do not want even discuss ( about 4 -5 times less.)
Even if not consider prices the quality and customer service exceed what i can get in USA.
Everything is customized to your needs parts and supplies available with a few days send by air for more than reasonable prices.
I have been scammed by one of the company who sell their products on alibaba,
The company name is Lixin beauty equipment.
They shipped me defective product and after I contacted the company representative her name is Linda, she was not responding to my calls.
She has said she shipped the parts but unfortunately she was lying to me.
Now I have defected machine in my office.
Bought about $9000 worth furniture and 6 month all started breaking
"""Guangzhou Gold Apple Furniture Industrial Co., Ltd."" do not buy from here all garbage! Alibaba protects 90 days so expect not to get anything cover if they break after 3 month on commercial chairs, what a joke
BETTY ZAHN@ *******@aliyin.com, in Huanan town is a THIEF!

WARNING TO PURCHASERS. * I ordered small glass boxes from Pujiang Minghuang Crystal CO., Ltd.
Zhejiang, China for a very special event but was horrified with what was sent to me. I had ordered what I thought was small glass trinket boxes with small feet and a lid, what arrived was very different then the photo on the website as well as the pro-forma invoice. But the real cause for concern was most of them had small black particles floating through them with scratches as well as the cardboard presentation boxes that they were sent in were completely damaged. The total lack of customer service and overall negative experience with the vendor has left me very disappointed. Obviously will not be ordering from this company again and feel it necessary to warn other buyers.
I can only assume that a reputable company would be eager to take back flawed and damaged product as they would not want their name associated with such poor quality, but from the lack of concern and action from this supplier, I can only assume that they did not offer to replace this shipment as all of their products would be the same quality.
Unfortunately Alibaba's buyers insurance is non existent, they made me go through a lengthy discussion back and forth only to tell me that i should use the boxes with the damage, even with black floating particles? Read carefully when purchasing on Alibaba in my opinion they do not have their viewers best interest in mind.
I will never buy anything on this website... bad expirience ever... no refund back from them, even though i never received the products i payed for. I just wonder if i had a bigger amount of money like 500 or 1000 dollars - and i would lost them...
All my interactions with vendors through Alibaba have been efficient, and the platform itself is very easy to use.
My order is on-time shipment and my gold supplier interested with every step. I had trade insurance so i feel confidence in myself. I enjoy with international trade with ALİBABA.
Don't order from Alibaba. If you do, you won't receive the order, you won't get your money back and no one from Alibaba can help you
Soo many choices to choose from. Orders received super fast. Great customer service. I love this site.
Quick as lighting service! A lot of fun to communicate! All your demands are always included!
Alibaba really seems to have the buyer in mind as they're building their platform. And if the buyers are happy more will come which will make the suppliers happy. I am a fan of what they are doing and suggest anyone looking to source products or materials to use Alibaba as one of their tools.
Answer: Nothing you can do i was ripped off and alibaba wont help you i suggest that you have learnt a lesson dont trust Chinese companies more rip offs then good stories
Answer: Definitely not. I spent £1000 and never received goods and no money back
Answer: I would recomend to purchase only from people who have pay pal! And be carefull because there are a lot of sellers that just steal your money!
Answer: Do not do it!~ they are scammers. It is way to difficult to figure out who are scam sellers and who are not. And there idea of protection is a joke! Do not do it. If they are cheap there is a reason why... think about that! Dont do it!
Answer: Alibaba does not offer any protection from either scams or mistakes. Dispute resolution to them is you lose your money or pay more money and then lose it. Only pay with CC and then give alibaba 1 chance to fix then dispute with CC company and get money back. IMPORTANT in contract state that you get a full refund of any monies if their are any problems.
Answer: I would echo Hugh K's comments. Never ever rely on Alibaba whether the supplier is trusted or gold whatever. Insist on paying via PayPal. Ask seller to send you PayPal invoice and before making payment, call and confirm with PayPal if you are protected by PayPal in case seller doesn't deliver as promised. Personally, I stay away from purchasing via Alibaba. Try Dhgate.com. I'm doing all my business from this site
Answer: Hi Bud, this is Echo from Alibaba Customer Service. I checked the name you provided and this supplier came up: http://vuidding.en.alibaba.com/.

They will check out the reputation of this supplier for you and provide you with some safe trading tips. Have a nice day!
Answer: If reading the reviews does not answer your question then nothing I say will have any effect at all on what you think. If you have read these reviews and you buy from this website then you must want to lose all your money, therefore it would be a better idea to give it to a worthwhile charity
Answer: This is what they tell you but in fact it doesn't happen. Alibaba only look after their traders. The traders buy gold supplier stars like we buy lollipops. Gold star supplier means nothing. Ghangzou Mega Beauty firstly showed 3 stars, the following week 4 stars, following week 5 stars and the next week 6 stars. I complained to Alibaba who don't care as long as they get the money. Now DHGate do not release the payment until you receive your goods. Buy from DHGate to ensure you are not scammed.
Answer: Theres a lot of corruption with the vendors on Aliababa... its russian roulette
Alibaba.com is the world's leading wholesale trade platform that connects buyers and suppliers from around the world.
