“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.

Such china market sites are still remaining a lottery with sometimes wrong descriptions or the goods that simply dont come. But lately they really improved the service - all the parts of it, such as delivery and refunds especially.

If you're in the US, don't even THINK of using this company. They will screw up every way they can. We were with them for 2 years and each and every order had serious issues. Items were made wrong, arrived damaged, took forever, shipping was astronomical; we had 3 representatives, each worse than the next, pricing was schizophrenic and customer service? Dispute resolution? Any type of helpfulness? Not a chance. One batch of items that were unusable because they not only lacked hardware but lacked the countersunk holes to put the hardware in was dealt with like this: "go buy a drill and fix them yourself". After the last shipment arrived 5 months after it was ordered, to the wrong address and broken, they simply stopped answering our emails. Don't think Alibaba will assist either- they demand to be paid via Paypal and direct wire transfer. Of course!

As my first attempt buying from a China supplier I must confess that I am pretty impress, in a good way of course! For sure I will keep on doing business with my friend Mrs. Nora Hu, whom was really patience, kind and professional

I've never been ripped off on Alibaba yet, paying through Alibaba. It's been much more professional and safer than ebay in my opinion. Dealing with the time difference adds a little bit of time when making decisions.

Third product ordered from them, good quality and Echo is a pleasure to work with. My only suggestions would be to consult with your local shipping office for complete Customs requirements. Packing on less fragile products should also be considered. This is a good company and I am sure we will place another order in the future.

Our boutique hotel ordered a large quantity of napkins, slippers & tablecloths from Eliya, a company advertising on Alibaba as a custom branded hotel supplier. They sent two different colors on the napkins vs the slippers (one was correct gold, the other were yellow!), and the embroidery was low quality. When we told the owner, Ben, he said that's not my department'. Didn't care even a tiny bit, no offer of correction, nothing. They took real money from us, thousands of dollars, and delivered fake quality, very low standard. They offer towels, hotel equipment, hotel furniture, hotel porter trolleys, all you might look for - dont be fooled! Avoid Eliya company if you're looking for hotel supplier China, or custom hotel supplies from china.

I liked the concept of having multiple vendors at my fingertips. However, one CAN be overwhelmed with too many choices. It was a little difficult to find exactly what I was seeking on their platform but perseverance paid off. After some time I did find exactly what I was seeking. The charms for my jewelry making business were well crafted, as advertised, and arrived in a very timely manner. I particularly liked the trade assurance agreement that accompanied my order, protecting both the price and delivery. I have used Alibaba twice now, and I will definitely use them again.

Tip for consumers:
Don't let yourself be overwhelmed by the number of vendors and their various offerings. It pays to compare prices and shipping policies of potential vendors.

I don't often write reviews... But this time I must. I was totally impressed with my entire first experience with Alibaba.

The ordering process was easy... And I was overwhelmed with pleasure that I received my product delivered by DHL to my front door within four days of ordering. WOW.

The product which I thought might be second rate as to quality and functionality because of it's low price; is (so far), Excellent. In fact I am about to reorder another one, just to have as a backup.

I will now look to Alibaba for my future online purchases while living here in Thailand. Thank YOU.

Best,

Steve Miller

Very exciting... I was skeptical to start with with all the rumours that one can cheated easily and would get only Lemons after making the payments... proved very wrong...
Pl improve your products presentation for easy selection...!

Have recently purchased an oxygen concentrator for my elderly friend who suffers lung problems. He finds this product as good as he expected, quiet, easy to operate and convenient to carry around with him even when he drives in his caravan. Your service is nice too, friendly, easy to communicate, hassle free delivery.
Thanks for this purchasing experience with Alibaba.
Best Regards
Colin Chang

Trade assurance on Alibaba ensures that the buyer`s payment is protected and they can receive a a full refund of any goods purchased if they do not meet the required standards, they are damaged, late etc, or if there are other issues in dealing with a supplier after purchase.

As a buyer that offers great peace of mind and security. Also it`s a really great market place where buyers can source high quality products at competitive rates. I definitely recommend.

Very easy to use and takes away any hassle or worries about the manufacturer being unsafe to deal with. A great way to do business around the world. I will always recommend Alibaba to anyone who is thinking of trading in other countries.

There are many good suppliers and factories and much more. Highly recommended and will definitely buy again.

Just make sure you check the seller profile thoroughly and if they support Alibaba Insurance protection then you are good to go. Also check their rating and time they have been on Alibaba.

Alibaba Buyers protection saves you from any several risks including product quality, on time delivery etc. You get your amount refunded for selected reasons. I think it really put my mind at ease when i knew my order payment is protected.
