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.

Clearance procedure should be easy in receiving country. Alibaba must take some steps in this context.

The system of Alibaba is excellent from buying to receiving all products.

Suggestions:
1. A large number of suppliers don't have stocks and waste our time in communication. They also get our personal information. Such suppliers should be banned.
2. Some suppliers are offering low prices on their site but their real price is horrifying.
3. The shipping rates should be available for buyers as everyone states different prices and we are unable to define who is right and who is wrong.

Stay Blessed for creating such a nice platform at doorsteps.

Best cover
March 27, 2018

Having a Trade Assurance with such proper coverage provisions gave us the confidence to place our first order China with a completely new supplier; everything was going well, according to the contract terms.

Xiaomi Roborock
March 27, 2018

Very satisfied with the quality of my machine and the easy and trust worthy service.
I have tried Roomba, Neato and now Xiaomi Roborock. Roborock is by far the best vacuum robot on the market for the price. Duties and taxes are quite high for shipment to canada (consider 25%-30% extra of the declared value for customs). Besides the high import fees, very satisfied with the machine.
