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. 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. "
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 $#*!ant fabric mesh suitable for clothing would result in hits on metal and fibreglass insect mesh.
Ordered 13 hand crank radio flashlights to give as gifts. All came in large, sturdy undamaged box. Inside each were in individual boxes, great for gift giving. Each had its own instructions. Shipping was fast considering came from China to USA. Would order from this supplier again.
The trade assurance policy was indeed very helpful and assuring. Very fast transaction from all suppliers I've dealt with. By far, haven't got any problems (I wish i won't have in the future transactions) thank you
There are no problems with the process from order creation to production and shipment.
Regarding quality testing, QC personnel are more professional than the cargo inspectors we have appointed.
Very friendly reception service and itinerary, during the inspection, I experienced delicious Chinese food and convenient social transportation.
I am using Alibaba since 2018, no problem at all, excellent providers, rapid response and effective delivery. The product is great quality, the best light and battery life until now. Provider response fast, needed a part replacement and it was treated in few days. We adapted te light to a face mask and it runs PERFECT as a tool to examination of patients lowering coronavirus spread
Unless you get problem you never know paid for good to arrived within 10 days مکس been a month alibaba refuse to help as they said transportation is not in suppliers hand my order is under 1000$ it's gone never trust them don't order from this plot form
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.
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
