“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!

“Alibaba Trade assurance is a scam”

Leif Erik G.
9/20/24

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.

The communication with the suppliers is great, the only think that might have some opportunity area is the time that takes to the website to inform that the money has been send and received when you choose the TT paymentb method.

I made order of full glass screen protectors 3d curved for iphone 6,6+, 7,7+ and I agree with them to provide this type not the normal one and also we agreed to be with its packages. First, they said the order will reach to my country within the week and I contact them after week and I discovered that the order was not shipped yet and they try to give an excuse because of holiday. I received the order after 3 weeks!. And the order was not the requested one. It was the normal one which is half price of the requested one and they said they sent me the right order and I did not request for different one. They did not confess about their mistake and did not accept to return the order as well as the try to ignore the costumers when i contact them.

I bought metal candelabras which turn to be not metal but aluminium. They are shaking, look horribly bad and are totally unusable due to this fact.
I asked for my money back, but the Trade Assurance responded that I have to pay them more money to make an expertise which will prove the poor quality of the service.
I have deeply regretted that I have spent so much money.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FORM ALIBABA.

There is no such a thing as Trade Assurance. They do protect only the Chinese manufacturer.

Doggie site!

Hi Mariella, for post-shippment dispute, if your order enters a dispute, you need to arrange for one of the third-party inspection companies designated by Alibaba.com (SGS, TUV Rheinland & Bureau Veritas) to inspect the products. You will need to pay the inspection fee upfront – if the supplier is found to be at fault, you will be refunded for the inspection fee. Alibaba. Com’s determination will be based on the third-party inspection company’s report. If the supplier is found to be responsible, Alibaba. Com will refund you for the covered amount of your order. Please hire an inspection company in order to protect your right as suggested, so that we can do our best to assist further!

A professional trade place, with added ease of use and ease of communication. I was sceptic at the begining, but found rapidly that alibaba is a friendly companion that seconds you from the product and provider selection up the receipt of ordered goods. I certainly will remembre that in the future!

Alibaba is great for what it's meant for - finding wholesalers in foreign countries. The problem is there is usually a language barrier, and the unit price/ MOQ is usually inaccurate in the summary box for a seller.

Received a wrong tracking number from allibaba which made it appear that the item had been delivered to the wrong address.
Ordered item received on time, just a pity that the price of the ordered item including the shipping costs was noted on the package so that the import costs were rather high

The beautiful mat was as advertised but I want to convey the quality was better than expected! Highly recommended. I am a Physician and I am using the mat as an adjunct treatment in my professional clinic. In the past I have been robbed and cheated by Alibab Vendors with no recourse such as from the Marche-Hout Medic Co,. Ltd Company, Indonesia. However, this order from the Liaoyang company for therapy mats went without a hitch.

I ordered three Michael Korss bags, they only send me two of the bags. And I try to get in touch with them to let them know about it. I send letters to them, they return my letters, they can't deliver my letters to their address. So they took my money, but they didn't send me one of my bags. They only send me two. So they just rip people off. Don't order ANYTHING from them. Your order anything, you're not going to get all what you order for, they'll just send you a few of it. Watch out people! They rip people off.

I eventually found what I was looking for and found a good supplier at a good price. Happy ending, yes. But the alibaba.com website is very confusing to use. It is hard to search for your product. It is hard to know if you have reached a source. The messaging portion of the website is especially klunky. Not great. Not great at all.

Shipment was late, some of that due to the covid slowdown. But when I raised a concern with Jennifer HU, she was very quick to find out the information that I needed. I would work with Jennifer HU again. Things rarely work out as planned, but she is completely professional, and I would give her 5 stars. The double sided tape is a great product shouldn't have any trouble selling it. Thanks Jennifer and Shenzhen Jinchenda Technology Co., Ltd

I am a business owner of many stores in New York-USA. I ordered samples before placing a large order.
Order number: **************966. Seller never sent my order, it's been 4 months and the order still not received. I contacted the seller 2 months into the order, but it turns out the order was never shipped, she said would ship. 2 more months later, but still no delivery. Seller grossly mishandled my orders. I am very unhappy. I am having trouble getting my money back. Refusing to refund. I don't want anything from this seller., but my $319 dollar refunded. Save yourself the trouble, do not buy from this seller. Very irresponsible and dishonest. I have bought from Alibaba for almost 20 years, I will stop buying if I am not refunded, and will stop recommending Alibaba. If this matter is not resolved. Seller info: Guangzhou Kalanta Leather Goods Co., Ltd.Contact name: Alise Xu. Order number **************966 no email received to click. My email is *******@aol.com

Greetings from Europe. I have not worked with any Chinese company before and I also did not trade with China. I have contacted with many manufacturers and finally found the one that I would like to work with. Mrs. Anny and her team took great responsibility and hard work. I would like to thank you to her and her colleagues. I would like to re-work with you soon.
Sincerely, I

Through Alibaba I was able to import the first Wuling Macaron into the U.S. Alibaba's trade assurance was very important to me, and I was able to find a trustworthy and caring supplier who is very responsive to my needs as a purchaser. I am a critical care Nurse and Certified Quality Process Analyst in the U.S., with no experience importing anything. Xian Mangia New Energy assisted me in every step of the process, ensuring all logistical challenges were overcome. I found Mangia to be a great partner in this new adventure. I highly recommend Alibaba services! Many thanks!

Tip for consumers:
Evaluate supplier on recommendations, if their business license is posted with their physical address, and if they participate in Alibaba trade assurance policy.

I have been dealing with suppliers through Alibaba and I am satisfied. The only supplier I dealt with directly is zhenghou Great Great Machinery Equipment Co. Ltd. 100 Science avenue, High tech Development Zone,, zhenghou city, Henan province. This supplier did not respect the details of the order like not send me the agreed spare part or other customized parts like the Logo cylinders to be embossed on the masks nor did they respect the time line for delivery. The promised 20 days for delivery for a 1+2 masks making machine and head bands welding machine has become 2 months and the ordered fabrics arrived 4 months later. I request Alibaba to help otherwise I am going to report the matter to the chinese Trade office at the Chinese embassy in Dubai and the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Dubai Customs. Please help us..

Best for doing all shopping and sourcing for suppliers.
I have been using Alibaba for major orders and aliexpress for small orders since 2007 and for all verified suppliers the reliability is acceptable and payments via alipay is good security for all orders
