Seven months ago we ordered over $200,000 worth of drones and parts from XCM CLASSIC LIMITED. A drone company advertising on ALIBABA. The company never shipped the parts and will not respond to emails or refund our money. IN FACT XCM CLASSIC LIMITED still advertises on ALIBABA We filed a compliant with ALIBABA with no response. We had to resort to International help contacting LAW ENFORCEMENT and US/CHINESE GOVERNMENT for assistance. We are in the process of notifying the NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE. [Where ALIBABA STOCK IS TRADED] Hopefully, ALIBABA will step up to the plate and help us resolve the issue. We will not stop until our drones are shipped or money refunded.
I have been with Alibaba for quite some years now. Always enjoy shopping here and have referred friends. Some products are better than others but that's an individual risk between suppliers.
Suppliers are always professional. I would suggest being patient as shipment can take some weeks or months depending on how it's shipped, but well worth the wait.
The only downside there's no easy process to contact Alibaba if in need of any assistance. Hoping they can provide a toll-free number or email for when issues arise between a supplier. So basically it's between you and the supplier to negotiate any conflicting issues.
Since 2004 I've only had one minor issue.
It needs some practice to get the hang of AliBaba but once you know your way a hole now world opens for your business. Do enough research to see if your quote is strong or on other side maybe cheaper.
Brilliant Service - done what was required, will be using this gentleman in future.
The only one who agreed to send me my personal design of the item,
Great at communication and understanding the requests that are asked of him.
Alibaba is by my experience are leaders in connecting world wide business entrepreneurs at all levels.
This platform allows sellers and purchasers to compete at a much greater level via the ability of the easiness of sourcing and or selling products direct from top performing companies throughout the world greatly recommended for anyone, Thank you.
Incredibly helpful team producing a great quality product! Resolved any potential issues with design and the sample printing service really helps ensure the finished product is what you want. Would recommend 100%
The communication page on the site between me and the suppliers is a bit confusing cause many things appear, but apart of that the whole process was fast, way faster than expected, I will use again for sure. Cheers
I have been using Alibaba to outsource several different promotional products. It has always been easy and secure. There was some fear early on being in Canada, but after my first seamless purchase to landed product I haven't looked back.
I received the items exactly as ordered and in perfect time! Rose who took care of the order communicated perfectly even advising on when the item was being shipped and my expected delivery which I can not fault. Will certainly use this company again. Thank you!
As a small business, it is difficult for us to research and make contact with many foreign manufacturers. More, we simply don't have the resources or time to properly vet them for quality or security. Alibaba has allowed us to directly source products from manufacturers, cutting out expensive middle-men, while also giving the piece of mind that we are protected through their Trade Assurance program and vendor reviews. This has allowed us to save tens of thousands on asset acquisition costs and helped fuel our expansion. We expect to utilize the platform even more in coming years.
Good experience. Easy communication, professional, problem solving, fast response, high quality.we sold well for those items in last order, so we reorder this time. Because of the good selling, our products become out of stock. It is lucky that the seller cooperated well and helped to make the production faster than normal for almost half a month.
No particular issues. Reliable process all along the chain. Thank you. Will continue this way for my orders. Easy payment and communication and delivery by express courier as expected, no bad surprise.
Samples for testing were received on time, however, the hardness was a bit lower than required and we have to decline.
We will look for another external supplier manufacturing O'Rings under our specifications.
Loved the experience of first time importing products.
It is hard to find good quality, fairly priced skateboards here in India. Got to choose from plenty of options on Alibaba and after speaking with many suppliers, found the perfect fit.
Smooth ordering, payment process. Many shipment options but I stick with FedEx for easy customs clearance.
This company is impossible to get ahold of anyone. They have numbers that automatically disconnect others which have a busy signal.
The company I supposedly purchased from was a 10 day shipment. However two months later in still waiting. No items, no refund and no legitimate phone number to dispute
Never will I use this service for any future business or personal needs.
The site Alibaba and the Organisation have been a pivotal means of purchasing out-sourced items, that are either hard to find or expensive within other markets.
They select businesses for others to trade through using customer reviews on their purchase history and item quality, not many businesses do that these days!
Everything we had ordered through Alibaba had arrived in good working order. Alibaba's trade assurance is a great feature. Just don't like the message interface it has. It's not as user-friendly as they make it out to be. We think there's room for improvement here.
I will do business with them again!
Great communication on the front end.
Quick shipment, and timely DHL delivery.
A very satisfying experience all around.
(and saved over $150 compared to buying from a USA provider of the same products.)
Thank you for connecting me with an excellent manufacturer of paper products. I have experienced only the best customer service and excellent product which was delivered exactly as expected and on time!
Their purchasing software and service are terrible. They don't return calls, send senseless form letters, and then when you finally succeed after using three banks, their next email tells you that the transaction failed. They never corrected this. They use DHL to ship (no choice), who did not notify me while the package was at U.S. Customs for 6 days! It almost got sent back. Meanwhile, AliBaba is telling you they released your funds to the merchant, with no place on the form to tell them to hold up.
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: 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 has a rating of 4.3 stars from 13,094 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Reviewers satisfied with Alibaba most frequently mention good quality, trade assurance and customer service. Alibaba ranks 1st among Sourcing sites.
