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.

It was very easy to deal with this supplier, good and fast communication. The quality of the product is very good. I had a small problem, but it was my fault. It says on the description that the keychain is 4x1,5cm, but after speaking with several suppliers I did not realize and trust the picture, where it appears bigger. As I said, totally my fault, but the image for the product should be different.

Alibaba has a vast number of great suppliers. The messaging system needs a little work, but overall is okay to communicate with suppliers. I have not had to have Alibaba to step in and resolve an issue (yet) so I cannot speak to that feature or how they perform. To me, Alibaba is trusted more than GlobalSources BY FAR!

I don't believe those who say Ali Baba is bad and don't give the money back
These are lies, misrepresentations, integrity and honesty of Ali Baba
I think I tried it myself
Alibaba is the original guarantee that will return your money if you deserve the refund
Alibaba helps you in all cases and is a guarantee for you and your peace of mind
I am a trader in the United Arab Emirates and I just love to do business with Alibaba
Refunds my money and within my purchases, were it not for Alibaba. I don't buy from suppliers
In fact, I do many experiments with Alibaba. And get a good guarantee
Alibaba is always at the right fair
I would like to thank Ali Baba and say that I really love Ali Baba

Buyer
November 6, 2020

I have the case with GANGZHOU LEISOUND ELECTRONIC CO.LTD and there judgment wasn't fair at all. The lady Anny Feng charged me for 200 items [ big speakers] and sahe cant load more than 170 speakers she steal my $1264 that's was my change and Alibaba support her. She didn't but in the boxes made in china and Alibaba said that's mas my mistakes. She used the other peoples Bluetooth technology with out any promotion and Alibaba said that's my responsibly. The costumes take all my container and ali baba don't care. They have really bad and racist judgment when deal come to big money... a lots of very nice and honest supplier but not all of them... but ali baba as judge when you come to deal with problem its really bad and not fair at all.
