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.

Alibaba trade assurance is not real, its fake and they will never ever favor in the buyer. I have yet to hear a success story in the recent years. They no longer care about customers. They are the worst and you should avoid trusting alibaba trade assurance. I had a supplier who did not ship our goods unless we paid more money, the goods were detained after we paid in full unless we paid more money. Alibaba did not refund us for the goods that we ordered and paid for and told us that we needed to pay more money to this scam of a business. Alibaba gets paid by the suppliers so they only care about supplier and has no interest in protecting the buyer. There are other sites you can use so just use them and dont even bother paying the fees for alibaba trade assurance. Its not legit.

We've been doing business with them for over a year, and they were helpful when problems arose. For example, they replaced faulty parts, worked with us when we needed additional documents for customs, air transport and more. We're continuing business with them and are satisfied with the phones so far (we ordered 5 different models over the year).

Alibaba good!
June 8, 2021

I bought a security camera. This is the second time. When I bought it for the first time, I was disappointed with the unexpected camera, but I think I made a good purchase this time. I thought it was quite different for each supplier. As an Amazon sect, this purchase has increased my interest in Alibaba.
To tell the truth, if I was disappointed with this purchase, I was thinking of quitting from now on.
Also, I'm really curious about the box that packs the items that were sent to me. Why is the box fragile? Moreover, it is wrapped with tape (maybe it is waterproof?), And such packaging is unthinkable in Japan. Only there is disappointing.

Just received etrike & comes practically fully assembled with very little work required which is good since there was no manual or instructions provided but that wasn't a problem since there was good communication with supplier so probably would have download instructions available (as I did with the other 2 folding electric bikes purchased). Thought it would be big & bulky but easy enough to assemble in my living room! Lol. It was a long trip here from Asia but arrival time was very near what supplier estimated. Very professional to do business with & language differences did not present a barrier so the process was easy.

I used Alibaba to find my supplier because they provided me with everything I needed to know about the supplier, as well as assured my transaction. I felt secure knowing that by using Alibaba, I won't get scammed or lose money.

I had an idea I wanted to develop a new product. Peter helped me do that and contributed to my idea with his engineering knowledge, he went above and beyond to help me and deserves recognition via this review.
Thank you Peter.

The work was complicated and required a lot of patience. Andie, my liaison was amazing and patient to a fault. The work I received is excellent and I look forward to doing future business with this company. As my designs are protected by an NDA, I can not post any photos at this time, but certainly will in the future, once we are public. Excellent work for a difficult project! The "add proof of purchase" doesn't work.

There is no way to buy securely in Alibaba. If you think that if were scammed you can open a dispute and have a fair decision, forget. The decision of a dispute is taken from Alibaba.com and they never decide against their gold suppliers, because they pay a lot and are the first income of this business.
For a secure purchase, don't go to Alibaba.com.

While its a good platform to find suppliers, Alibaba won't help you when you encounter a scamming supplier, and doesn't not live up to their trade assurance promises at all.
