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.

The website opens every single click in a new tab sometimes prompting the user to sign in again and that's unprofessional. The messages don't sync consistently with the mobile app. More action needs to be taken to remove scammers and badly rated sellers from the website.
Depending on what you are looking for, this site could be the best place to buy or the worst. There is almost no recourse if your order arrives and you are not satisfied with it, I have never successfully gotten a return or reimbursement. However, most suppliers are willing to ship you a small test order so that you can see and handle the product before ordering in bulk.
There are a lot of fake products on this site. If you are buying fakes to sell I would highly recommend asking the seller for a private catalogue of their good and bargain HARD. Never take the first price given.
If you are here for a custom product, this is probably the best place for you to look, but I would recommend consulting a professional, as the process of setting up a supply chain is not something that can be learned easily off of YouTube and absolutely should not be gotten into without information or advice. Too much is at stake when MOQ is in the thousands for a custom product.
Out of all the things I have bought from here, I was least satisfied with the electronics, and most satisfied with the toys and collectibles. These are by far the best bang for buck if you are selling on a small scale in the US or Western countries.
These knife blades are high quality and make great gifts. I have purchased these knives several times and my customers love them.
It was easier to buy through Alibaba than it is to buy from just about anywhere! Shipping was fast, customer service was excellent.
Beware of theCHANGZHOU RISTAR ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL
WILL SCAM AND LIE WHEN THEY SHIP TO YOU ANY LEFT OVER JUNK THAT THEY AVE AND NEVER ORDERED BY YOU
BEWARE DO NOT PATRONISE FROM
RISTAR CHANGZHOU CYCLES dishonest vendor.
After 3 months of your bike is in factory and then being painted.
When threatened to cancel they say only black color then send you compliment different bike.
L ordered a lady's walk through ebike. For my wife. See photo they send me some tall men's bike no use for my wife. And later said only have this one. I can sell it if I don't need!
Alibaba just side with vendor when I ask for return or refund.
Just beware... scammers on ALIBABA CHANGHOU RISTAR ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL CO. EBIKES.
The sellers are more often than not, the same seller with different contact names. The prices displayed do not match what you are presented when you get in touch, and most of the time, you cannot purchase directly (you have to send message to seller).
The quality of at least the item we purchased was far below the quality of our current product from Taiwan, and other listings on Alibaba were higher cost than we sell the product for.
Doesn't seem to be a good resource in general. Google search shows products, but quality and price are not what you expect.
Great communication, great product, as described, lots of features, great cameras, good sound, great reception
Buying from Alibaba is quick and easy, my only concern is shipping, I prefer to know shipping before committing myself to buy. Not to buy 1st and be told the shipping fee later. My other concern is shipping fee itself, which on some item shipping is higher than the item itself.
Easy to link up with appropriate vendors, I feel safe and protected. It is easy to do business and understand people so far away, after sales service is equally great!
Wonderful and easy site to communicate with international merchants and I recommend this wonderful site
Après 2 commandes de tissu sans problèmes, avec un suivi de commande excellent et une livraisons rapides, je suis satisfait et je vais passer d'autre commandes
I have had no issues ordering through Alibaba so far. I will keep ordering from them. Highly recommended!
Alibaba is a very convenient & Safe online platform to Trade. I will Trade with this platform more in the futer.
The product arrived according to the description, it arrived on time and without problems. I recommend the seller 100%
I like Alibaba, but they have a lot to go on when it comes to easy use of the webpage.
Alibaba should also make sure that companies who is offering their gods here, have an easy checkout for all the product displayed on the site, that will lift the total picture of Alibaba!
It shouldn't be necessary to use time on chat with the manufacturer to be able to order the simplest things, it doesn't regards all of course, but too many!
Alibaba is the best. Easy to use, great customer support. So so glad I used Alibaba to help make my Vision and reality.
I am buying on Alibaba for the first time and I am very satisfied with how everything was done. I'm sure I'll keep trading.
Very pleased with product and good business transaction. Item received promptly, well-packaged and as described.
Fast easy delivery with "Shenzhen Aiconnecting Electronic Co., Ltd." - Good Plattform with no problems
Ive used Alibaba many times over the years and have never had a problem. All the items have arrived as described and quickly. I have only ever interacted with sellers and I have never had to get Alibaba involved in a dispute apart from asking for a couple of refunds and there has been no problem and the refund has been issued promptly. I like the chat option as its so easy to get hold of the sellers who in my experiance have gone out of their way to help. I highly recommend!
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
