“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.

Was great. Only recommendation is that interface could be easier to navigate. The system is really good though and in my limit experience the suppliers are solid.

Excellent purchase platform to date, used it many times with great results. Only small problem is the complicated messaging system, but that is a small niggle.

Using Alibaba as a middleman makes the transaction very safe. I had great communication with the supplier and was able to track my items the entire time.

All good. Apart from asking me to submit this review and insisting that I write 100 characters.
You did what you were supposed to - well done - but don't bug me for more information,.

A little slow with the shipper and their tracking but no fault of the Seller.

Extremely helpful staff ( Demi) and thoroughly recommend them. I will buy again.

Alibaba has opened new avenues to resource products that I never imagined possible for our company, this in turn will allow us to become more profitable and offer better value to our customers.

It has been very helpful to be able to buy the product directly from the factories, much cheaper for retailers like myself and definitely would continue shopping.

This review is not so generous to Alibaba or it's sellers as my first.
We have made many purchase.
Been lied to, deceived by sellers, out right cheated to the tune of more then a thousand dollars, which for a small business is no small amount.
Please note not all sellers are shady we have also been treated well by a number of them.
Their "Trade Assurance" program from my personal experience is at best of questionable value no matter how much proof you may have or what the seller shows as the description. We have drastically slowed down our purchases because of this.
Here is some advice;
1) Pay to have sample product shipped to you for examination.
2) Ask more questions then you feel is necessary.
3) Insist in these questions being answered specific to the question not answered in generalities which they do frequently, a big red flag.
These questions are a pain to deal with because they seem incapable of answering more the one question at a time.
4) Be specific on what you require
Obviously be polite though understanding they are not your friend, all they want is your money, period...

When you are buying from foreign countries you need to have a reliable customer service source available on the page. Obviously when I am dealing with a Chinese supplier and there is an issue with the order we are going to have problems. For example, I just ordered $411 AUD worth of SMS units 15 days ago and they have no shipped. There for having exceeded the alotted time on the contract. Well, who am I supposed to talk to about this to decide if I need to create a dispute? Alibaba NEEDS A MIDDLE MAN. Stop being cheap Alibaba we know you make millions.
