You are not buying from Alibaba. You are buying from the suppliers registered to sell on Alibaba.

I have just purchased my items off of Alibaba.com and I recieved my items today and they are FANTASTIC! Now I would say, please do your research and make sure that you are verifying the supplier or the business that you are buying from! A little trick that I learned, when you are doing your research, buy from businesses who have (TRADE ASSUARNCE)! It protects you and your order, so if anything EVER happens and you don't receive it or don't like the item you can always get your money back instantly!
