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.

So far, so good.

In the beginning I was very sceptical about using Alibaba. I ran some smaller, "test orders" through the process, and did not encounter any negative hitches with regards to quality or shipping. Recently I have increased my product variety, and order volume to see if there would be issues. As it stands right now, there have not been any. Well done, Alibaba.

No es la 1a transacción que realizo en Alibaba, pero la atencion recibida por la agente Sherry Shu ha sido por demás amable, puntual y responsable. Hubo algunos problemas en la aduana local y siempre estuvo muy pendiente, estoy muy satisfecho, Mi mejor recomendación. Sherry Shu fue la diferencia

I've used Alibaba multiple times. While I have used the services of quite a bit of companies, most of which provided decent service and some I am a repeat buyer from, sometimes there will be a few that try to pull a fast one on you despite appearing to be genuine. The materials I order have to be within a general range of a specific size. It is unusable if it doesn't match. A small tolerance is usually ok but the range doesn't leave room for much error. I like Alibaba since most companies specialize with custom made. However some companies go for that quick money stating they can match your parameters yet do nothing of the sort under the cover of false feedback to make them look genuine. There have been two instances where they were anything but geniune, showing me images that matched what I've wanted, but what I have received was quite different. Hence, unusable. The seller denies all despite picture and video evidence. Basically they got paid to send you un-matching garbage. Alibaba has a trade assurance that is supposed to protect you from this. Trade assurance is basically a scam. Should you open a dispute case with your trade assurance, they tell you that it will cost you an extra $500 for them to send an inspector to the seller's factory to inspect a product. The factory can then simply make a piece within the exact specifications you stated to appease the inspector, now you're out of your money + $500 more on top of that. So overall, it is a hit or miss if you get a good, honest company but if you do get a good one, it's a great experience overall.

Make sure you are with the right suppliers because everyone is not like Sunny Feng, Amanda Zhou, and Nina Lin, They have great customer service, quick responses and they will work with no matter what their time it is in China.Don't allow people reviews to stop you from shopping with alibaba.

I ordered 50 deadpool masks from the site. I previously bought the same style masks from another site, but this time I wanted to cut my cost and stock up. It worked out great.

Just going to find the VTOL fix wing drone to suit my latest project of surveillance mission with limited budget. Come across to find the Eagle Hero and looks suit for my requirement. Searching more info from Youtube and found lot of video related to this bird. Made oder and paid for 3 days and the parcel arrival. Airframe looks excellent quality of workmanship and light weight. Going to install the Pixhawk-2 fright controller and make the maiden flight soon.

Mi primera compra
July 10, 2020

Para la realización de mi primera compra que es una Latop, tuve que pensar mucho en que podría ser un fraude, pero sabia también que alibaba era una plataforma de confianza. Por lo tanto tuve que tome la desistencia de realizar la compra.
Una vez realizada la transacción, espere los días indicados según programado hasta la llegada del producto y haber recibido el mismo. Y ya teniendo el producto en mis manos llegue a tener la confianza total de que es real, y ahora puedo realizar compras con toda seguridad a través de esta plataforma, pero siempre teniendo el cuidado necesario.

We ordered an air track during COVID. We were skeptical (afraid of a scam) but, our transaction was smooth. We happened upon a very reliable seller and walked us through the transaction. The air track did take 6 - 7 weeks to arrive however, we were expecting that time frame. We were able to customize our product to the dimension and colors of our choice. We are happy customers.
