“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.

I worked with this company because they were very responsive in the quoting process. This great communication continued during the production phase and resulted in all potential problems being avoided. I am happy with the price and quality standard of their artwork conversions, which were done quickly and expertly. As long as my copyright catalogue images are not used in their Alibaba account, I will happily work with again!

They are very professional and I am a little sad for the bad reviews, since if you have a bad experience on Alibaba that is most likely due to third party companies. You need to open your eyes and choose to work with most professional companies there (as everywhere), however Alibaba itself is an amazing experience.

Tip for consumers:
It would be very odd if you do not know for Alibaba in 2019.

Products used:
All which I bought there, using it since 2013.

A little bit daunting when first entering in to an deal, compared to the ease of ebay or Amazon, however that is where the comparison stops. We have found a great suppliers, who offer exactly what we want for a fraction of the price we were paying before and once you get used to the adjustment in the ordering process, I'm very happy overall and have full confidence Alibaba to securely handle the transaction to completion.

Products are quality and nice. However, the packing could have been more robust as a couple were bent in transit. I only lost a few of the candle tins, but thought that there could have been more bubble wrap instead of thin layers or plastic foam sheeting. The candle accessories were laser etched nice with my branded font. Some of the boxes had bends in them upon arrival though. I had no problems with communications with this company.

As a Mexican, it is difficult to find committed, responsible and patient providers and I found all that in Feitian.

My product arrived quickly, complete and smoothly, properly identified.

Without thinking, I would buy from them again since they solved the problem that arose immediately and my product arrived faster than expected.

As a first time user I found the Alibaba platform extremely useful and trustworthy. Alibaba has the respect of supply companies and their monitoring of transactions, dispatch and receipt of payments and goods gives confidence to purchasers like myself who are not in a position to visit the supplier personally. I am most pleased with your services. Thank you very much

I am extremely happy with the final product! Communication was excellent through the entire process. They did an excellent job rendering my image and the final aluminum sticker looks amazing! Shipping was also very quick! Highly recommend this manufacturer and will definitely do business again!

I've been nervous to do my first purchase, but the seller was very helpful and the quality and time results exceeded my expectations. The site is a little clunky at times with everything opening in new tabs, but you get used to how it works.

The seller was very professional and quick to respond to inquiries. The company as a whole seems very customer service oriented. My rubber tiles arrived exactly as I requested and looked even better in person than I expected. I would highly recommend doing business with this seller again in the future

The site allows for safe and sufficient one on one communication with supplier around the globe. With alibaba's high security policy and in-depth resources you can search with a peace of mind that they are here to help and aid in any problems as well.

I've found a lot of potential manufactures for product development that I'm looking forwards to trying out. So far, the products that I've ordered have been of good quality. I anticipate ordering more products as time goes on. I'm glad a site like this exists.

Good service, relatively easy experience for a first time customer of Alibaba. The only reason I give 4 stars not 5 is because the messaging platform on Alibaba could be updated. It is not very clear which messages have been read, opened, not read, ect.

I have ordered from a couple of different companies on Alibaba and both times have exceeded my expectations in regards to quality, communication, production turn-around, and speed of shipping. The most important thing to see in mind is to do your due diligence when looking for a new company to work with. It's important to look at reviews, how long they've been in business (and on Alibaba), how they are ranked, etc. My experiences have been very positive and I look forward to continuing doing so.

Going through Alibaba is like having a big brother looking out for you, resolving any issues between buyer and supplier. Alibaba gives all the guidelines and information you need to have good business deals. Thank you Alibaba making it so easy.

Supplier shows fake pictures as a proof and now asking for the rest of the payment before shipping.
Every time asking why you are sending different pictures, they ignore to answer and send another set of photos and say: here's your products and they are ready to ship.
Amount paid %30 by visa via Alibaba payment
Now, we can't trust what they are doing, how could we get our refund.
Thanks

I was able to find the products I looked for. The suppliers or sellers that I contacted where mostly professional about their business. Although some ignored my enquiries.
The purchase and shipment from the seller that I eventually transacted with was very smooth.
Payment and receipt of my goods where all very good. I made payment via the trade assurance process which gave me peace of mind.
I will definitely do business on this site again as long as it has the products I'm looking for.

I have ordered six different items from Alibaba. Of these, three never arrived. Only one was as advertised, a leather guitar strap that actually came from Switzerland.

One order of guitar strings was clearly fake. They were supposed to be Fender strings but were nowhere near the advertised size or quality. The supplier promised to replace them but they never arrived, either.

Instead of ordering from Alibaba, toss your money into the street. The chances of someone finding it that actually needs it is better than your chances of receiving anything satisfactory from Alibaba.

I just started my business a few weeks ago, and Alibaba has made if so easy for me to find the perfect suppliers to make my company successful. I have received 6 of my first 10 orders without a single problem.

This was the only jewelry vendor out of many I used on Alibaba who actually had my entire order 100% correct. There were no missing pieces and all the colors and sizes were true to my original order. I'm very pleased.

It was a great experience ordering through Alibaba. I ordered with confidence due to Alibaba's reputation and assistance if needed, which I did not need. I purchased large and small collapsible dog bowls for our retail store, which were good quality. Choose a manufacturer with an excellent rating. I will definitely order through Alibaba again.

Purchased refillable ink cartridge chips for the second time through Alibaba. The vendor was extremely communicative and helpful. The shipping was actually faster from China than some orders I have received from the US. Great experience!

Find vendors with good reviews.

It appears that Alibaba is trying to look good for investors under the guise of getting rid of scammers. It is a good thing I found all my suppliers before now. It looks like Alibaba just kicked out all the free members who were able to sell. I was one of them. It takes $10,000 per year for the members now in fees. They wanted to look good to investors but they dont realize that all the nickel and dimers like me added up. Their excuse was to get rid of the scammers. But some of them paid off officials and stayed in for half price just so they can keep stealing from buyers. Alibaba is on their magic carpet scanning the world for potential victims and those who are stupid enough to pay their outrageous fees. Whatever happened to the time when people just worked for a living?
