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.

I filed a complaint for an unloyal company that has been a gold supplier from 6 years here.
The platform did not review our documents but relied on the seller's claim that the money had not been received. We were brazenly deceived with a large amount, not without the participation of the platform, which protects only its paying members

Just type what product you would like to buy, and Alibaba has it. Shipping costs to the USA by DHL, FedEx, UPS, is a little expensive, and will increase the cost of products, but, you passed this cost to the sale price and customers pick up the tab. Beware of the shipping cost supplier quotes. Some supplier will quote the wrong shipping cost causing and additional fee, beware, happens to me recently.

Despite minor grammatical errors (Chinese company, understandable), the site flowed well from start to finish for my first time importing. I liked that communication with the supplier was done through the website to keep everyone honest. They have a "messenger" built into the site which helped me do everything from the free government phone I'm writing this review with. Perfect for my vows of Simplicity.
It all seemed great... until I made the seemingly harmless comment "at least we have the freedom to talk about our lack of freedom... for now." Alibaba Messenger replied: "Your message was not sent. It is a possible security threat." (Chinese company, understandable)
I was feeling pride in American free speech as Google's Gmail didn't censor my explanation of the incident to the supplier (though I know we prefer surveillance to censorship). Then the product was held at U.S. customs by the Anti Terrorism Contraband Enforcement Team costing me about $460 instead of the original $200 in port charges. It was almost $900, all told, to get a $700 item to my door.
Only $130 covered trucking from deep inside China and shipping all the way across the Pacific. Most of the rest incurred sitting for half a month at the port terminal while bungling idiots rudely tore open the crate (ignoring the screws) trying to put a feather in their intensive examination caps.
I'm not anti-government, just anti-waste, and it's too bad they wasted so much time and money to see a silly rickshaw! That's when I saw first hand just how communist America's capitalism is (and how capitalist China's communism is).
Some would say this is just the cost of importing. I just thought anyone should know that for a small, one-time, personal shipment from Alibaba, shipping to your door could far exceed cost of item.
My item was large and heavy, but I eliminated the usual customs broker fees and tried to find cheap or free ways to file documents (again, online with the free phone I'm using now), clear customs, even driving to Long Beach myself and tying the crate to a modified-pallet-as-roofrack with rope on the top of an old station wagon National Lampoon's style!
Ultimately, this experience makes me wish I could have found a rickshaw in America, but they are decidedly unAmerican. Jane Goodall pointed out the importance of feeding ourselves with local produce. To "think globally, but act locally." I see how I'm still suckling at the China factory teat like most Americans.
In the spirit of DIY, I could have found the plans and built one, though not as fast or cheap as them. I've heard that, though Danish shortbread cookies are popular here around the holidays, American shortbread cookies are popular in Denmark! Why don't we just trade recipes instead.
Only Love, Neil :)
