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.

They lie and give you product that does not work and is different than what you ordered. I ordered manual donut machines and it took over 2 months to get them and when I did get them they where different and did not work.
Sophie Sun is the person total lies from day 1... after they got payment
There is a company namens ADI CHANDRA from Indonesien with a branch in branch in Malaysia. After this company was Detected in there crime activity's and is deleted by Alibaba, this company always register them self again under different name. The "supplier" call himself shino matawa or Shinoko Meditech. So VERY careful, if you have to do with this "Company" TAKE CARE, if this company is from Indonesien with a branch in Malaysia or in Malaysia with a branch in Indonesia!
Do u think that i may send alibaba money on western union. And he just takes it and doesn't send me the item? And what about the quality of computer hardwares and stuff? If not any other website? Please respond on *******@gmail.com or whatsapp *******124
Alibaba protection is a joke. So convoluted, Links don't work, inhouse review none existante. All PR with no result. Blew my $42. I've been to china and liked the place but this lot are just plain crooks.
Bought a food van off Bill Li of Henan Honlu Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. total ripoff. Van is falling apart already after it was sent to the US which considering I live in new zealand is impressive in its stupidity. Dont trust this scam artist or alibaba YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFF...
I ordered and paid for an item made by Running Fun Toys in early April. I was told that the item would take just 1 week to make and another 3 for shipment. The first deadline was missed because of a 'busy factory', the second deadline was missed because they were 'waiting for delivery of the material'; when finally 2 months after payment was made, the 3rd deadline was missed; I demanded my money back. This has been a totally frustrating waste of time.
I Order products from this Company and as of TODAY, I'm having a hard time getting my Refund on my cancel order. If you're thinking about doing Business with Company. Please go the other way... it's a Scam! Run! Run! AND Run! They will not give your Money Back!
The product are low quality, they something and deliver different thing. Its a complete scam, do not trust them. They will do anything to sell you the product but once you try to return it they will charge you double.
Alibaba gives emails out to other fake scam companies and gets money. www.tobuy-cn.com is an scam company that you should stay away from. BE CARFUL. For many years they have been getting money the same way each time. They have a very believable website and targets American/Canadian people.
Crap products, and trade assurance is worse than bad. All up a terrible experience made worse by pretend buyer protection.
I'm assuming trade assurance means you purchase a product as advertised and you will receive that product as advertised in working condition, well, this has not been my case. I recently purchased an item and used Alipay for the payment process. After receiving the defective item I filed a dispute with them, also providing visual proof the item was defective, yet the money was released to the seller. It will be my very last purchase using Alibaba. The products, as a rule, are extremely poor quality. Never forget you get what you pay for.
This site is the worst site ever, do not purchase furniture are any the sorts, Suppliers do not tell you the truth about when your goods arrive to Uk port the high charges you get when they offer you cheap freight and that will occur very high charges when goods arrive in the uk
Tax Hanling charges ( THC) will cost you around) £363.30
Document charges that should be £25 will cost you £ 105
Currency adjustment factor (CAF)will be £354
And overseas custom is £75
Port security charges £7.00
Notify on arrival £3.50
And it doesn't stop there customs fees and vat need to added and it depends on your goods
Suppliers in China is the most wicked people ever
They want the sales offer Cheap freight not informing customers that they have agreement with agents to charge high fees on arrival destination
Please remember to check what you will have to pay before purchasing goods
Alibaba is the worst site ever met in my life. I ordered a product received product was so bad. I returned the goods back to the supplier, as he told me he will refund once he gets the goods. But he didn't. I complained in Alibaba with all documents and communication evidence. Alibaba, at last, says your complaint is not genuine, so it's closed. You cannot contact Alibaba team to describe your experience and all. Its a fake site. Dont trust and buy from it.
Such china market sites are still remaining a lottery with sometimes wrong descriptions or the goods that simply dont come. But lately they really improved the service - all the parts of it, such as delivery and refunds especially.
Great experience shopping with Ali baba... lower princes good clothing and freindly wholesalers, never returned an order back or have my orders lost or damaged
I purchased a router bit that was advertised as being suitable for cutting a slot for a woodworking biscuit. Biscuits are 4mm thick, however the router bit only cuts a 2mm slot, obviously useless for what it is advertised for. Yes you can do 2 cuts to get to 4mm but that all takes time & negates the advantage.
The seller didn't reply to my last message where I pointed out the discrepancy & Aliexpress could care less. They also don't use Paypal who are very good at refunding for dodgy purchases. My advise is to use Banggood or Ebay for who both have similar or same products/prices & who both use Paypal.
Paid first order just to see how it goes. Supplier was Kingway Industry Co., ltd. 10 years Gold supplier, having so called supplier assessments as well, after 3 days of payment confirmation, did not hear any thing. On contacting again, supplier added the fake DHL tracking number to the order,
Decided to open the dispute, just one day after the dispute my account got deactivated, contacted alibaba copy paste people which they call support, they asked for my driving license as ID and other information, which I provided, and was told me my account may be activated in 3 or 4 days, Contacted after wards for at least 3 more times, spent hours explaining every thing in details, but all in vain its been more than 2 weeks, did not hear anything from them.
In the meantime, supplier sent me original tracking on message, after few days got my items, the items are not as per description, few of them are not even in working condition, sold to couple of my clients without doing my testing, because I was of the impression at least I am getting what I paid for, but I was wrong here as well, customers are demanding the return of their money. Added the same detail to my order dispute, no response for that either.
I wish I could give less than 1 star to this fake and SCAM company and the suppliers they have listed..
Alibaba is fake or hacked somewhat... it doesn't provide good product, it doesn't response if you already pay monkey for any product... they will not give you your booked product if you already paid for it by net banking... it is fraud site
This is the most dysfunctional and awful wedsite I have ever worked with. I emailed the supplier for 8 times and no one answers. Shame on all American businesses who take their business to china. We can make everything in our country with high quality and customer service. We don't have to suffer from Chinese dysfunctional website and their horrible customer service if our business owners were not greedy.
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
