Good Online Store
December 29, 2019

All suppliers are not created equal if other reviews are taken into account. But, so far I've got a fair degree of dealing with some suppliers and gotten a good quality materials for my business needs.

Please DO NOT SHOP HERE
September 14, 2014

Please DO NOT SHOP HERE. The "Protection Plan" is BS they side with the company. I ordered from Good Goods store my wedding shoes which should of been real leather. The delivery time took forever, when I finally got it, they sent me a size 7 not 8.5 like I asked. The seller "Jason" had the nerve to say it needs to stretch to try using it. After a rip off $110.00 the dispute lasted 2 more months and of course the company sided with them. They also "Guaranteed" satisfaction, The shoe was the cheapest thing I have ever seen, also it looked used. Maybe I would of payed $10. After all I only got $20.00 back... What a rip off... I guess I have to go elsewhere for wedding stuff. "

All Good
April 24, 2019

Supplier did what she said, product received on time and as expected. I had no issues with communication, she did her job perfectly. Alibaba has a good system to track shipment and assure payment is secure.

My first purchase
October 31, 2020

Website is easy to navigate. I have another order under investigation because of the supplier not responding. Hopefully it will be resolved quickly. If it wasn't for this dispute, I would have given a 5 star.

Quality of service by Alibaba depends on what you are buying. Advertisements for large and expensive items are almost 100% misleading and confusing. Trying to get honest answers is difficult. They want customers to look at pictures and buy. Detailed info - impossible.

Always happy to source products on Alibaba.
May 15, 2019

Amazing product finding service from all the sellers I've dealt with. Very honest and decent people who often go to great lengths to find you the exact products you need even if they don't currently stock them.
Money is held by Alibaba until the products arrive and some sellers accept Paypal, both of which are secure ways to pay.
I will always come here first to find items I need in bulk.

I have the world at my fingertips when I order from Alibaba. Although things do take a long time to arrive, China is far away. There are millions of products to buy and source. Such a great platform for buyers and resellers.

We ordered some product through a company on Alibaba. They flat out lied to us about how long it would take to receive our products. Keep in mind stuff comes to the USA on a slow boat from China. Make sure you have some type of guarantee in place if possible in regards to date of arrival. We literally had to threaten to get PayPal involved and cancel the order unless they could provide some solid proof in the form of a legitimate tracking number for our shipment. We still do not have what we ordered and going on twice as long as promised. Was told 30-40 days and now well over twice that now. Beware!

Some supplier sales are tricky such as, (1) sent other model that is is not on the deal, (2) send other brand and do not responsible when the machine is not working said "The product is no longer in production, since we've just purchase it for 3 months only". Alibaba should solve this problem seriously.

Fast
June 2, 2019

I love Alibaba, has a lot of merchants. Great service and a good price! Several merchants replied right away, some more available than others, yet it was all coming nicely in my inbox. Also, Alibaba makes it very secure to have an account. I like that too.

Recently I ordered dry control assembly parts for a dry box. Thank you for your best effort and quick shipment.

Professional service and approaches are quite impressive.

China is overtaking Japan in every aspect, and no longer cheap and shonky product's manufacturers.

Today we rely on them definitely.

Kind regards

Thanks a lot from Japan.

Alibaba is great
August 20, 2020

I've sourced many different products to resell/retail from Alibaba over the past few years. Much like Ebay you must do some homework on the suppliers you want to use. I think most people that leave bad reviews about the site obviously don't have a clue about product procurement and have probably never imported products before.

I recommend self-managing your requests for particular supplies and not allowing the request to be "broadcast" to all suppliers otherwise you are likely to be drowned in responses. I loved the neat responses of the supplier l used and this review does not apply to them at all! I just ended up with a deluge of messages from other suppliers. I'm also wary that some sites (not the one from which I purchased) include in their search words items that do not match the product in the photo. There's too much "catch-all" phrasing so my search for flame $#*!ant fabric mesh suitable for clothing would result in hits on metal and fibreglass insect mesh.

Hand crank radio flashlight
October 8, 2019

Ordered 13 hand crank radio flashlights to give as gifts. All came in large, sturdy undamaged box. Inside each were in individual boxes, great for gift giving. Each had its own instructions. Shipping was fast considering came from China to USA. Would order from this supplier again.

Safe money trading, good cargo inspection
September 2, 2019

There are no problems with the process from order creation to production and shipment.
Regarding quality testing, QC personnel are more professional than the cargo inspectors we have appointed.
Very friendly reception service and itinerary, during the inspection, I experienced delicious Chinese food and convenient social transportation.

Great online selling
August 22, 2020

I am using Alibaba since 2018, no problem at all, excellent providers, rapid response and effective delivery. The product is great quality, the best light and battery life until now. Provider response fast, needed a part replacement and it was treated in few days. We adapted te light to a face mask and it runs PERFECT as a tool to examination of patients lowering coronavirus spread

Good but still need improvement.
March 10, 2019

I've used Alibaba long time ago (10 years ago), since then it became more professional, but still need some improvement. Specially Messenger system is very hard to work with.
First, it doesn't group the conversation, and for single supplier you see 100 contacts. Second, it's better to split messaging system and ordering system. Combining these two are so confusing. Most of the time, i get notification that I have order from supplier, and when i check it, it's just short reply from supplier!

I was able to find a very reliable and helpful supplier through Alibaba. There may be some less-than-helpful suppliers out there, but through proper research and communication this site can give an endless array of opportunities to find excellent manufacturers to do business with! I don't typically write reviews online, but I think it's worth it given that this is something that has made a big impact on my life and does a great service to the world by getting buyers in touch with suppliers in such an efficient manner.
