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.

Very happy with the quality of products supplied and received good service from the supplier company
Really great experience so far using this website, really responsive website, hey have quality assurances and trade protections in place so it gives you more confidence ordering. I placed 5 orders from 5 different companies and so far all positive experiences, easy to communicate with even though i only speak English, i have total confidence ordering again.
The Alibaba website is pretty good. Searching algorithms could be updated to provide more relevant results with less duplicate results. RFQ could be better with suppliers submitting offers that are actually similar to the RFQ and not just some random products they offer within the same category. The mobile application has a bit of issues: messaging always has to log back in to update chat messages (logs in in the background while you look at the chat; creates a very slow conversation update experience).
Otherwise, the basis of alibaba is fine. There are ample suppliers, products and options to choose from.
It would be great if shipping was significantly cheaper and if suppliers would actually send DDP instead of saying they are sending DDP but actually only using DAT/DAP...
The quality of the relationship with the commercial part was only perfect. It was a real pleasure to order, and the product is exactly how I expected. I will order again for sur
I think there should be some payment method in which options of COD type should be available, as well as shipping costs are too high, there should be some special agreements with shipping companies for better prices.
Variedad, calidad, bajo costo, salvo el costo de envió que es el mas del 100%, del valor de la mercadería, lo cual pienso que podrían mejorar...
I'm completely satisfied with costumer service, the owerall price was still lower than buying the same product in my country.
The ability to state what you are looking for and have sellers contact you with offers is very effective.
I have been using Alibaba for the last two or three years and am very satisfied with the service rendered by them. I trust Alibaba and feel that I am covered and protected while doing business with suppliers. Alibaba constantly follows up on our purchases and payments, for this reason we feel that we are backed up by them.
Shipment quickly, communication also very good. Always answering quickly, I am very impressed with this seller.
This team is honest, sincere with their quotations and they go above and beyond to help figure out the best shipping, which makes it easy for someone who does not live in China. I love their eco-friendly coated paper options as this can biodegrade faster for less of an impact on our environment. Most people think a label company will magically make labels that you send them look incredible. In all sincerity, you will have the best experience if your art files are high resolution and do not suck. If you aren't a graphic designer or artist, ask. They can design for you the art. Best label company on this website. Excellent customer service. I have purchased a few times from them and I will continue to come back because I am impressed. Thanks Subby, great work!
Lovely slippers very strong, I enjoy talking with the customer service agent that assist me with getting the product, she ensure to check if i received on time, and check if i was okay with product, i am highly thankful
Good customer service through the entire process. As a new customer they made me feel comfortable that they were doing things right, and were very respectful and responsive to any issues that came up along the way.
Great product and customer service.
The entire shopping experience was very easy and I had a great choice of products from a good selection of sellers.
Highly recommended.
You can get some good deals through them but if you have an issue there is no support. There is no trade assurance. They will just ignore your requests for help and only side with the seller even if you have a slam dunk bulletproof case. It is not worth the headaches to save a few bucks, just buy right form the us where you will get customer support.
I bought some blankets from Alibaba. Really like service, suppliers and final product. Highly recommenderd
I'm very pleased overal. Options, chatting, delivery, everything. I'm going to continue shopping here
Good B2B for sourcing and purchasing, I can get what I want, very cost saving and fast delivery to my warehouse, very helpful to my sourcing job.
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.
