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.

여러 판매자와 거래를 하고 있지만 좋은 판매자도 많이 있지만 나쁜 판매자도 많이 있습니다. 판매자의 실수가 명백히 확인이 되는데도 알리바바는 판매자의 편에 서서 클레임에서 이길수 없도록 합니다. 대화 내용만 봐도 명백한 판매자의 실수임이 확인이 되는 내용을 이해할수 없는 이유로 클레임을 강제 종료시킵니다.

Great experience
December 2, 2020

It is the first time I use Alibaba and I only has to say that the experience has been perfect. Easy to find what you are looking for, very good product details and very easy to communicate with the supplier. We manage to get waht we were looking for in no time.

Great website to get your product from. However, if you get a bad product by a supplier, you will never win a claim. They will turn you around

Poor claims service
December 1, 2020

Fine for finding companies selling different products but they are not good at managing issues between buyers and sellers. It's always shady and difficult to buy from a seller online from across the world and they don't do anything to make it easier. Additionally, they do not have an easy claim support. I received broken glass bottles and they asked my to fish through the broken glass to give them an accurate number of how many glass bottles were broken. Absolutely ridiculous. Once your money has been sent, you won't get it back no matter the condition of the product you recieve.

Not everyone is honest or can provide the correct information, prices are not what they always advertise, but in general i would say 80% are here for business and are professional.
My good experience that Alibaba refunded my purchase when i had a bad deal and supplier could not fulfill my order.
The bad experience is the communications, some they take too long to reply and sometimes they never do, or if they do they provide the wrong information, be careful and be clever how to close deals.
I made many purchases (more than 2 containers and 5 LCL shipments and few by air) for my company and 95% are completed in perfect conditions.
In my opinion this is the best option in the market for business purchases.
