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.

Great customer care
September 27, 2020

My purchase on Alibaba was easy and I had help every step of the way,
If I had questions, there was a chat service that was readily available
It was good that I was able to communicate with the seller any time I Wanted to.
Customer service is great!

Don't use Ali baba, they have a trade assurance gaurentee for buyers, but it's not genuine. I brought electric scooters and they took near 4 months to arrive. Then they were faulty, contacted manufacture didn't reply for 1 month. Sent them and Ali baba video of the faults, it took them near 5 weeks to adjudicate, that-they couldn't confirm the whole 15 units were faulty, 4 units were faulty, what I said was how can I get confidence in the others not working. Anyway they say that the customer satisfaction is important, it is garbage, buyer be cautious here as they don't support they buyers and in China thier are plenty of shonky sellers and I got sucked in by Ali baba trade assurance, which is worth nothing. Don't buy of there sure there is no genuine trade assurance

HAPPY CUSTOMER
September 27, 2020

Using Alibaba is user-friendly and makes ordering from my suppliers in China very easy. I'm 99% happy, however my only suggestion is that they allow PayPal as a payment option for suppliers.

One of the things I like best about Alibaba is the reliability of suppliers. You can be sure that all suppliers here will try to do their best to satisfy the client. The number of suppliers is impressive. With no doubt, the best shopping place in the world.

Easy transaction
September 26, 2020

I was a bit hesitate to place my order with a company I didn't know much about. But, the pricing of the items I wanted were irresistible so I placed my order. In short everything went smoothly, communication was very good and the transaction was completed. In a short time the package arrived and it was just as described. I was so pleased I immeditally placed a record order.

Good and bad
September 24, 2020

I have had both good and bad experiences. I have bought items for decanting perfumes and those went great. I looked into purchasing some televisions and was robbed of my money. They asked to talk on whatsapp, then wanted to make the purchase through western union a few days later i was sent a message that my package was on hold and needed more money but no info to pay the courrier but they wanted the money themselves. I refused and am currently trying to see about having authorities involved. Be careful for these actions. The name of the guy was li kevin from Qinghai Kunlun River Wolfberry Industry Co. But I doubt they still have that account. Just be weary of these actions

Alibaba is a great platform, I ordered an electric Fatbike from China, I had great communication with the seller and I got the bike within 3 weeks. The Bike quality was excellent, couldn't fault anything.
