“Trust and peace of mind”

Dorothy H.
7/14/24

Trading through alibaba provides peace of mind that your transactions are secured and you are trading with professionals. I will always buy from this platform and I recommend it to others. We also buy a lot of things for my work. Everything I have ordered in Australia always arrives on time and buying the products and selecting them has been made so easy through Alibaba. Very happy with the service!

Top Critical Review

“Horrible company, horrible service responses, stay away do not buy from this company”

Steven D.
10/23/24

Would give a zero but not an option so a rating of one is generous. Bought a product, and product not delivered and company took my dad's money. I immediately stepped in to help and no responses to our e-mails and chats. You cannot call them on the phone to explain., worst experience and company I have ever dealt with. It's like you are talking to someone in space, and nobody is there to answer. We called the better business bureau (look at those reviews and see the true story) and the FBI to report this company.

Tip for consumers:
Have somebody answer our chats, emails, California phone number we called *******580 in 525 Almanor Ave. in Sunnyvale, CA

Leave message and nobody returns calls. Was hard enough to find the number to even call.

I have some lovely people to deal with,
But do not trade with "Michael Wang" at Colorpro Technology co. Ltd, Sold me Ink cartridges knowing they were obsolete before sending them. He waited till the 30 days warranty was up untill he stopped communicating with me. 2 months later will not refund or contact. And I am easy going. He is a crooked shark. So do not trade with them at all. These people need jail time

Tip for consumers:
If I could have asked for a refund but this was deleted somehow. The order was very blank and not not like other traders. Very none ways of getting contact from Alibaba

Products used:
buying from a trusted Alibaba company not Colorpro Technologyco.ltd

Even when you provide Trade Assurance with clear evidence a supplier has commited fraud, they will still side with the supplier.

Please do not trust that Trade Assurance will help you or protect you as a customer in any way. You just pay extra when paying to Alibaba. That's it.

And it's impossible to get help from customer service.

I have a significant amount of money locked in my account without a clear explanation. The company keeps delaying the resolution, asking me to call back repeatedly. Fortunately, I found creekmonat.tech, who has been incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process and assisting me in recovering my funds.

Order #**************
Order date: 2024-07-30
Total: USD 103.00
I bought samples from Shenzhen Plery Network Tech Co., Ltd.
They sent samples which are not working. When I asked replacement, they asked me more money for additional shipping cost. So I went Alibaba for help.
I only got refund cost of the product. Not for air shipping. From 103.00, I only got refund 42.00.
Buyers, Be careful. ALIBABA IS FOR CHINA SUPPLIER.

Be careful when you buy from ALIBABA

Verified purchase

I ordered an UTV from Alibaba, through a company called Silveira Michele SC, and their salesman, Carver Randall. My total purchase was made in the amount of $1249 on July 23. Upon shipping the UTV, the product traveled to many countries before being off loaded in Nicaragua, instead of Costa Rica. It is now being held there, and various fees have been extorted by Carver Randall totalling $5890 and $4770. After paying a total of $11,909, Carver informed me the I owed another $9200 in order for my UTV to be released from Nicaragua! I refused and my delivery has not been made. After each payment, Carver promised that there would be no more fees. He lied throughout the transaction. I am unable, and unwilling to pay any additional money. I doubt the shipper is legitimate, having an identical website as another shipper that is easy to research. However, Wavers Shipping Company does not come up at all when searched. It appears they have hi-jacked the website. To date, September 7,2024, I have not received the UTV. I am being extorted for more money and the shipment, which was supposed to arrive within 2 weeks, has not been delivered. It's been 6 weeks. Don't risk your money! It is difficult to report any issue with Alibaba. I have filled out a review on their site, and we contacted to be told I had to file a formal complaint. I have spent hours on their website trying to do so. It's frustrating and I have been unsuccessful in doing so.

Tip for consumers:
Alibaba does not vet their suppliers properly.

The mode of payment is secure and safer. The adverts that prompt the buy should have the correct price as opposed to asking the price from the supplier and find its high than what is being advertised.

I'm Extremely happy with my experience with Alibaba up to now. It is one reliable platform and I believe 80% overseas purchasers know this platform. Massive product range are available with low cost for the bulk purchase.it is very helpful for the benefit of my business. The problem is how to select the trusted the suppliers?", you need to do investigation and supplier qualification then you decide to trust or not.

This titanium tube is slender and presents a great challenge in processing. After numerous trials and continuous improvement of the process, the final sample turned out to be extremely perfect, and I am very satisfied.The supplier is also very professional, patient, responsive and I think they are trustworthy.

Aliababa no le da la razón al cliente si no a sus proveedores cuando se trata de garantía, en mi caso perdí un pedido de más de mil dólares porque le creyeron al proveedor y no a mi como cliente, no importa pero mis comentarios igualmente estou seguro que muchos clientes se frenaran a usar esta plataforma e igualmente así a como me hicieron perder a mi ellos también perderan.

Purchased one of the top grade bags payed almost $300.00 for it to have a crooked logo on the front. I am not happy at all, as I've tried to get this revolved. My emails have not been responded back to since I sent the pictures of the bag.
If the issue get resolved I would be satisfied. I love the bag itself, but not with a crooked logo
