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.

This time, I shopped at Alibaba for the first time.

At first it was very uneasy,
The explanation of the site was easy to understand, and I could shop with confidence.
Also, I tried to purchase it.

Had a problem with an item I received. Seller claimed it would work with iPhone 7. The connector was incorrect. Item has no value to me. Opened a dispute and AliExpress did nothing. In fact they sent me an email asking me to let them know how they served me. Only problem there is no way to respond (see below)

Please spare a few minutes to provide feedback on the service I have provided. We strive on improving our performance consistently, and feedback ratings help us evaluate our performance further.

Thank you for your cooperation and support, and hope you have a great experience shopping with AliExpress. Your understanding and cooperation will be appreciated.

Best regards,

AliExpress Case Management Team

TNT have to make phone call after phone call to locate and deliver goods. Secondly, the charges and handling fees by TNT is rather high. Appreciate to look for better and cheaper shipping company on next delivery.

Have always found Alibaba.com a great place to source and import products. Their site is very user-friendly and very safe if you use their safety features. They go out of their way to make your experience positive and safe.

I intend to work with them again and again in the future.
