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.

I import goods from all over the world, and it is nice that there is one place to find manufacturing partners to work with. I do have to say I am getting a little aggravated at some of the sellers on the site which is not Alibaba's fault. Most of the sellers tried to do business off the site and through Whatsapp or Email. Alibaba has all the tools to communicate on there so I am not sure why anyone needs to use an app like Whatsapp. (Especially now that they have the video phoning available. I realize that to a point in some cases there has to be some other kind of contact to get the services and products as being requested. I also understand that they are paying to sell to me on Alibaba and they can save themselves and possibly reflect those savings to me by not using the site. As a buyer, I am willing to pay a little more to get the trade Assurance and having a step by step process for both sides. This almost always results in much smoother and pleasant transactions. Another complaint on sellers, not Alibaba, is nobody is reading inquiries at all they just responded with, "Hi can I help you or do have any questions?" It like well, I don't know I just wrote you a semi book that explains everything I am looking for. Which you seem to have not read at all, and now I have to write it sentence by sentence and sit here for several hours waiting to get across what I have already explained beforehand. I have had really great experiences with Alibaba as a company and appreciate their backing when working with new people that are in different parts of the world. I feel like the platform is so large that no matter what browser I use and how great of a system I am on the site platform crashes and freezes all the time. I have a surface book 16G & 512GB and I still have this problem with it, so I am thinking it isn't just me having problems. If they could get this issue tweaked out I would love that. I deal with it, but there are times it gets really bad.
A little pricey but the hoodies were very good quality and there was good communication and great response time with the seller. I would order from them again.
I always find what I need and more. The variety of suppliers and variations is great. I also like how the site is organized and search engine is great.
The site is very well organized and all information is available for future reference. Great place to meet suppliers and oversee all the trading transactions
Brilliant online service (especially when communication ing in a second language), fast delivery and great product. Very happy
A professional and highly efficient supplier. Amended prototypes were completed and dispatched very quickly.
No big comment! Just want to say nice packing, fast delivery and good quality of beauty machine. Thanks Alibaba
These guys were excellent right from our first contact. They were very cooperative, delivered on time and helpful
Highly recommend them to deal with

Recently joined and so far I have had a pleasant experience. The site can sometimes be somewhat confusing and the app sometimes doesn't show all notifications and because the majority of the time I am using the app I sometime miss communications, thats the only reason I am not giving it a 5 stars.
Overall has been good experience so far and they looks dedicated to their work and we wish to work with them in future
Great service, people are very professional and helpful very happy with the service and will keep ordering from Ali Baba
I have used Alibaba for finding products I need for about 5 years. I have found at least 8 or more vendors that I buy from on a regular basis. All of these vendors take full responsibility for what they sell and make sure I am completely satisfied. I know that is because Alibaba holds them to a highs standard. I am careful with who I do business with but you have to do that no matter where you go. I am very satisfied with Alibaba. I have saved a lot of money on items that I simply cannot get where I live.
Tried to return items but they offered 30US as refund. UNACCEPTABLE. Horrible material for item purchased and how they handled the return process.
Increible la rapidez y la calidad de los productos que recibi estoy muy satisfecha y seguire confiando a esta pagina mi belleza
The product was high quality, easy to do reliable trade. Everything was packed neatly. I ordered different colors, well-made products.
You bring the world together and make this planet get tiny and accessible.
Hope that all the people understand that we are ONE humanity.
Most of sellers reposed quickly to your requests and nice products. Some don't even care to response.
Overall, recommended.
I just LOVE the politeness of the staff and she was also so very helpful... The quality of work is AMAZING... I Love it so much I am in the process of another order as I type this! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Its nice that alibaba has buyer protection (trade assurance). The orders I place are very large so its a nice benefit.
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
