“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 think alibaba offers a wide number of quality but also relatively cheap products. For large but also for small businesses. So far, I am satisfied with the site and with the company alibaba, in general.

I couldn't find the things I was looking for on other sites, even on Aliexpress there was a problem, as I couldn't choose the other shipping method but only DHL and EMS (they are too expensive). On Alibaba, I found the supplier and ordered car parts, he shipped them by air mail. I got them in nearly 2 weeks - it is very fast, as we usually get mail from China in 20-30 days.
I haven't installed them into my car yet, by they look nice, accurately and I hope they will work for a long time
So, everything is good.

Thank you!

I wish Alibaba had more companies like this one.
I have spent months looking for more to work with and can not find
I need tools
They want cash and won't work though Alibaba
They use you as adds and then drop you and still people money and don't send the product

Easy to communicate and resolve issues. This is my first time using the service and I didn't know what to expect. Alibaba was attentive to my questions and gave speedy response. I would recommend their service.

Company goes by name of Shenzhen Henghong Appliance co. My order was **************326 I was lucky only ordered 50 units and immediately the timers started to fail. Representative goes by name of Tina Yuan plays dead or dumb. I am replacing these units out of my own pocket yet they claim a 1 year warranty. I am fed up trying to get past their games. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY. Tina claims timer worked at the plant well so what it soon failed when in use. No relation to the time of manufacture at all. Alibaba is of no value only option is not to deal with Alibaba and or China.

Alibaba has not thought things through from a customer's standpoint.

The window where you can review a product is WAAAAAAAAY too short.

A buyer should have 3-6 months to review a product after it is received. What are they are traveling when it is delivered, and they dont even open the box until 60 days after delivery?

Also, the dispute process is run by an entry level person in China that has NO CLUE on how to problem solve. They need someone that is educated, sees the big picture, and can apply common sense to resolving disputes.

The sales person (Cassie) showed very good knowledge of their range of product ensuring that the part we exactly what we need from their extensive range, the product being well made and competitively priced. Highly recommended!

Tip for consumers:
Their website does not necessarily show all variants of a product, its worth speaking to the sales team to check what variants exist of a product.

Products used:

Alibaba is amazing to work with. Very easy system. They offer everything you can imagine at prices that cannot be beat. Alibaba Assurance is very easy to use as an ordering and payment system. I am very impressed and will continue to use Alibaba forever!

Alibaba is the only place to go for production and quality assurance for doing business with China. They are a full service company that knows the "ropes" for quality production and financial transactions with a foreign country. Their fees are fair and well worth the service provided.

Everything we have ordered to date has been as planned. There have been some communication issues to work through from time to time, but all vendors have got it right even as we worked through some intricate items. Our comfort grows with Alibaba vendors with every purchase.

I have attempted to contact sellers several times and not a one has responded. No reply whatsoever. I don't understand but it looks like I will have to go through a broker. What a waste of time and resources for me that will be passed onto my customer. Not sure what a broker will charge but I will do what I have to do.

The product is working 100% and delivery was very quick and good. We had some issues at custom clearance, but the supplier acted very quickly and solved it for us. Packaging, presentation and accessories are all 100% good. Very like the box of the product!

I bought 50 pairs of shoes from Coolcept for my business and I received 29 pairs of shoes that were all faulty. Burn marks, dirty, glue all over shoes, torn and jagged inner soles, heels faulty. Coolcept first response was to offer a 10% refund. For what I ask. For sending 50 pairs of shoes all squashed into one box & faulty. Pink pong emailing with offers of 10% refund, and now if I send shoes back will refund. I have to pay for shoes to be sent back, which doubles the cost of the shoes. No help from Aliexpress as they protect the seller. Their buyer protection is just bogus. In saying this, I have dealt with other sellers on this site and their shoes and service has been outstanding. Its just this one seller that people should be very wary of buying from as he knew the conditions of the shoes but sent them anyway. All he sees is the $ and not the impact it has on the people buying from him.

I have doubts at the beginning however the seller was very helpful with all the process, I received my product from China to México in 15 days and everything was perfect. Definitively 100% recommend the platform. From Alibaba everything was fine, but of course the whole experience also will depend on the seller.

It gives a lot of security to work through Alibaba where the orders and products are insured in case of disagreement.
The platform to stay connected with the provider also helps me a lot to have a record of messages, quotes and orders associated with each conversation.

This is not the first time I buy with Alibaba.com and as in previous years, I am very satisfied with the service and the trust that also gives "Trade Assurance". It is very useful the information that Alibaba.com provides for each company and that makes it easier to make the decision.

I ordered the product to Zhengzhou A**ha Machinery Co., Ltd. through Alibaba.com. And they sent me the different item from the one they show on the product description. We claimed to the supplier many times, but they did not give us satisfied answers. And also, I requested to send me the operation and handling manual for that product. But they didn't send me the right one. I raised the dispute request, because I, as the buyer should be protected by Alibaba.com that they described on their website. However, Alibaba.com was totally on the supplier's side. If you would like to use your money for the product that you would like to be satisfy, don't buy anything from Alibaba.com. It is waste of time and money. They do not know what the customer service is.
