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.

Excellent experience. On time Quote. The trade assurance policy is excellent. Will use the site more frequently
My first Trade Assurance order and worked really well, thank you Alibaba. Easy transaction and kept you informed of order from start to finish
The whole Trade assurance really is a facade. When it comes down to it, Alibaba uses every excuse to shirk its responsibility. Its dispute process is only a way to drag things out and wear down the Buyer until you just have enough and can't even be bothered any longer to fight them.
Note to Buyers: Do everything possible to safeguard yourself at the front end because you will receive No help whatsoever from Alibaba who appear to side with the Sellers because of course they protect each other against us the Buyers!
Finding suppliers and shopping was a good experience. The product was shipped on time and the quality was good.
I really enjoy Alibaba and would recommend it and will continue to use it, only problem that i have is that there for many different spots where messages are sent, either on the site the message center, email or phone message, but then do not show up all the time so if you get a message you must try and find what spot the message went to it is very confusing and time confusing.
There's so many products under one roof if you're not satisfied with your purchase there's time to return it and Alibaba will assist you in getting another product or a refund, you can't beat that.
It was really good! Thumbs Up. People were really kind and pertinent...
Muy bien servicio el envío fue rápido y la descripción del. Producto es de muy buena calidad y funciona
After been robbed twice with Alibaba suppliers, this was very different and helped me get my product on time with safety
Its very good service. We can order and pay without being worried about fraud. That is very helpful.
Regards
Very satisfied with the communication, and handling of the order.
Got a credit for shipment on items missing in my order. Very good work!
Definitely will use again!
Difference in user interface when using apps and website causes confusion.
Messages received are not able to synchronized between devices.
Je le suis fait avoir une fois avec l'achat d'une manette qui ne fonctionnait pas et j'ai jamais été remboursé car le retour coûtait plus cher que mon achat aucun intérêt de renvoyer l'article...
Business Suppliers ready to help, deliver your goods on time without glitches. The part i like the most if the Trade Assurance when Im in doubt of doing any transaction... Thanks a lot
No hassles, all smooth transactions. It is a good platform for clients to track the cargo and the deals.
Horrendous experience. In Chinese this is called (Kěpà de). This is probably a scam. The rep, Arien He, was condescending and unhelpful. After my order didn't arrive on time (3 weeks), he was unable to determine where it was. Nor did he express interest in doing so. In fact, he told me I should have paid for express if I wanted it on time. Unreal. If this was in the U.S. he *ss would be long gone by now.
Also, the Review button on the Alibaba site does not work.
Here are some quotes from my conversation online with him:
"If you need a fast delivery, you should tell me at that time, and the cost must be higher!"
After I asked to speak with a manager:
"If you are seller, you can promise when the goods will arrive, right? We have no reason to refund to you, if you want refund, you need to assume the return freight and tax, please think carefully. And I am the manager, so you want to talk with me?"
I can't think of anyone more in the need of a backhand than this guy.
I ordered products through this and got my product the day after the delivery date. Prouct quality is also good and the shipping cost is also lower than other website.
Instead of spending one or two hours going to the market a day, all I've gotta do is shop online, they actually delivers veggie and meat! Real helpful!
I was looking to purchase a2 uv flatbed printer and came across a listing for what I thought a great deal. Well I was told that the printer can't print on bottles, which in their Q&A SECTION clearly states cylinder printing 360°, 2nd after challenging that statement, I was then told I would have to arrange for shipping myself, lol. Instead of interacting with obviously hormonal immature children, I spent my money else where, but I want to warn others of the suspicious nature of this company. The rude CSR name is Y Doris, I believe she's the manager too. Buyer BEWARE. There's legitimate professional companies on Alibaba, this isn't one of them.
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/. If this is the supplier you are referring to, please click the following link to get live chat service from our service consultants: http://service.alibaba.com/buyer/contact_us.htm. 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.
