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!
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 bought a touch screen in November and still haven't received it. In January they said I would get a refund. Mid February and still no product or money. Caution, don't buy from here. Allibabba.com are the same people as Alliexpress
The Alibaba website is pretty good. Searching algorithms could be updated to provide more relevant results with less duplicate results. RFQ could be better with suppliers submitting offers that are actually similar to the RFQ and not just some random products they offer within the same category. The mobile application has a bit of issues: messaging always has to log back in to update chat messages (logs in in the background while you look at the chat; creates a very slow conversation update experience).
Otherwise, the basis of alibaba is fine. There are ample suppliers, products and options to choose from.
It would be great if shipping was significantly cheaper and if suppliers would actually send DDP instead of saying they are sending DDP but actually only using DAT/DAP...
Enjoyed working with Alibaba, and the supplier Sunn... Hangzhou Ocean Pearl Industrial Co., Ltd. Everything was well understood and from start to finish. Very pleased. Thank you and looking forward to doing more business with you.
The site is very easy to use and the merchants are professional and keen to do business. Communication with the merchants is easy and helpful emails let us know when a further communication or change in the circumstances has occurred. We will certainly be using this site again.
Alibaba as a whole is awesome however they need to make it so people can buy from sellers without being bombarded with messages from sellers they did not contact. The sellers need to put the actual price the items they are selling the item for. The customer should be able to add an item to the cart and pay for it when ready. This will prevent the sellers from ripping buyers off by offering one person a higher price than another. If they would do this I would buy allot more because one thing I hate is being spammed by sellers I did not contact.
Easy to find what im looking for and to contact sellers for more details. I have orders couple of times every time was a good experience. Contact sellers is very important for more details about products or custom orders
So far so good! Product is working as expected.
The sales person was very helpful. The product was delivered very quickly.
Alibaba has a bad reputation but this vendor was very good. I recommend them highly! Hector from USA
The quality of the product was good as advertised and the experience with the salesperson(Wendy) was not only very helpful but also she had all the knowledge to drive me through the system to complete the transaction. Thanks Wendy.
The service is great! I enjoy the smooth, secured transactions along with the communication. The timely fashion that I received all items. I also like the fact that I am able to purchase goods as needed from far.
Thanks
I was very pleased with my first purchase with Alibaba! I dealt with an amazing supplier that was so professional and incredibly knowledgeable. Everything arrived on time, properly packed and the quality of the merchandise was outstanding! Amazing experience!
If you are interested in getting into international trade, this is the site for you. Most of the suppliers are great to work with, there prices are much better then what you can source anything for in the USA.
Fast and professional company very helpful and quick to answer your questions. The product that I order had a good quality and I ask for different types of the same product and I got all I asked. Highly recommended!
Alibaba has a vast number of great suppliers. The messaging system needs a little work, but overall is okay to communicate with suppliers. I have not had to have Alibaba to step in and resolve an issue (yet) so I cannot speak to that feature or how they perform. To me, Alibaba is trusted more than GlobalSources BY FAR!
It is user friendly and easy to do the transaction. The overall experience is positive. Perhaps it would be even better if I don't need to wait for the seller to confirm and just buy the products on line.
An excellent way for businesses and suppliers to connect! Easy to use platform with friendly suppliers on hand waiting to provide you with quality product. Very profession website, and an A+ overall for Alibaba and all of their affiliates.
Alibaba provided me a fast and simple way to communicate with other businesses in other countries. I love the service Alibaba provides! Most of all I love the product I received! Thank you Alibaba for a job well done!
Very fast and exactly the product that I was looking for. The suppliers were easy to work with, and the translations put on by the website were incredible. When price matters, I always check international suppliers. Alibaba is the best and easiest way to get in touch with the exact suppliers with the exact products that I need. Thanks alibaba
I was needing to buy a very hard to find part for my Toyota truck and Alibaba had it on their web site. I decided to take a chance and buy it. When the part came in, i I found that they send me a counterfeit part. It looked similar and you could tell that the part number was stamped into the part by someone after it was manufactured. They gave me my money back minus the shipping. I think they even knew they part was counterfeit because they told me I did not have to bother returning it.
Hi Mark, next time you may consider using Trade Assurance, so that we can protect your payment and product quality. You can learn more about payment protections and methods at https://tradeassurance.alibaba.com/
Great site if you are planning to start your own business. However, there are many safety issues with buying from alibaba. I wouldn't recommend buying from any seller that is not a Gold seller. To become a Gold seller it costs around $3000USD in China, so only the big boys can afford to get it. Otherwise, any scam artist can open a business account and ask you for money without sending you anything.
Excellent Customer Service. This is a serious company, very professional. They take care of the client having guarantee factories that comply fully with sending the product to the client according to the order and in the promised time.
Was looking to source parts internationally and Alibaba was exactly what I was looking for! The supplier supplied a trade assurance draft that I was able to pay a number of ways and even took care of shipping and handling! Items were delivered extremely fast through DHL Express.
It was my very first purchase on Alibaba and I spent lots of time to find the best ratio of price and quality.
I'm fully satisfied with the service and quality of the products.
Definitely going to buy it again here.
Always a pleasure doing business on Alibaba! Some suppliers are faster than others, I tend to do business with suppliers who are great with communication. I appreciate Alibaba giving me such a wide variety of suppliers to choose from. Thank You!
Hello, i bought an animal product. Suppossedly 99% pure animal grade (veterinary) grade. 10 out of 11 dogs dead within 30 minutes! And let me tell you it was a hard and painful death! All seized out. I was running around trying to help each one. Dead, dead, dead, i held as many in my arms as they died as i could, so yes, the death was brutal for them! I have not just let loose and cried, and frankly i am terrified of what i will be like when i do! I tried to save money and my dogs are dead. The 11 th one not dead, but will end up with organ damage. All this to try and save a buck! Do not buy from them, AND do not buy from sellers on sites we all buy from. It is all from china! And they can kill your animals! They killed mine!
