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.

Everything as ordered. Delivery time very good. The pricing on shipping will likely go up in the future. Good luck

Purchased a mini excavator with a 3 cylinder EPA tier4 compliant Yanmar engine. Received an excavator with a single cylinder Chinese built Koop non compliant ( as far as I can tell) engine. The Manufacturer Shandong Jieseng Heavy Machinery Co. Is uncooperative actually deceptive, they sent me a compliance certificate for the Yanmar and told me the Koop engine is EPA compliant. No offer to negotiate a settlement.
Alibaba is no better. I have tried app. 15 times to start a dispute every time the ask for something different by the time you find it you time out and have to start the process from the beginning again. I am becoming convinced the Trade Assurance is a scam.

Beware
July 4, 2021

Trade assurance is a lie. Alibaba helps China suppliers rip off buyers overseas. Seller stated they had documents needed to sell to USA but failed to deliver. Product was seized and Alibaba sided with lying seller and failed to make good on the trade assurance promises.

So Impressed
July 8, 2021

I am so impressed by the magnificent work Alibaba is doing around the globe. The system is well structured and continues to meet the demands and satisfaction of people around the world. Like I stated in my previous review, at first I was afraid to diff in but when I made a trial, it was successful and my eyes couldn't believe what I ordered has arrived at the known destination. I believe in the system, but just caution that they should always ensure the monitoring or tracking system when the goods have been shipped is updated to alert the customer on the progress.

I had an account to contact with suppliers and out of the blue I couldn't login anymore. I keep receiving a message saying "this account cannot login at this time" it's not related to security reasons as many ppl have their accounts banned. I tried contacting though Facebook or wherever I could locate a way to communicate. They don't have a customer support only a bot that don't give options to talk to a human, call a number or solve your problems. I've lost all the suppliers I had contact with. Considering to find another platform to source my business in Australia, this is not a reliable website.

Customer service Alibaba
June 29, 2021

For my money, I received garbage in the literal sense of the word Despite my complaints about Alibaba support services, Alibaba refused to return my money. And 2 case seller send to another country, I complained that the product was sent to another country, I wanted to get my money back because I didn't receive my item, or let him correct his mistake. Alibaba customer service did not help me. I paid 2 times more to bring my country from another country. Never do business with this Shipping Company this is a Ukrainian company they cheat customers. They give a very cheaper price for transportation Well then they charge you 10 times more money.to return the goods
