“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!

Top Critical Review

“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 ordered hair ffrom here and i was assured that it was the kind of pruduct that i had specefied to the seller that i wanted. It only lasted 2 months. Its a very questional site to make purchases from... spend your money locally, so that way you know what you're getting!

I have been looking for ways to expand into different things and Alibaba has been no joke. You have to do your research because not all vendors are equal but so far so good.

Alibaba has a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, the deals and services are great! I don't know how else I could buy international products as easily!

Alibaba was always interacting thru the whole process and I felt safe because of this. I hope they will be there if any problems arise between shipment time and the deadline for any claims.

Recently ordered a hat to show my boss to impress him and he was very impressed. The hat is great and the 3D letters really stand out. When people see it, they know its superior. I love it.!

Great platform to find the best suppliers. Alibaba made my supplier hunt so easy and there are plenty of competition. Hence, no one can take advantage of being the only one in the market.

FOR THE MOST PART, I HAVE HAD ONLY A FEW PROBLEMS WITH ALIBABA SUPPLIERS AND ALIBABA HAS STOOD BEHIND MY PURCHASES. I WISH THAT ALIBABA HAD A WAY TO SCREEN THOSE SUPPLIERS WHO MISREPRESENT WHAT THEY ARE SELLING OR SHOW PICTURE THAT DO NOT REPRESENT WHAT THEY ARE SELLING. THE PROBLEM IS A FEW MANUFACTURERS OF THE SAME FISHING PRODUCTS BEING SOLD BY MANY COMPANIES UNDER DIFFERENT NAMES. I HAVE FOUND A FEW SUPPLIERS THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH.

Products used:
FISHING LURES, FISHING LURE COMPONENTS: SKIRTS, SKIRT BUILDING MATERIALS, BLADES, SWIVELS, JIGS, SPINNER BAITS, BUZZ BAITS.

Too many Menu Bar. It doesn't easy to view the menu. Especially, Manage messenger center. You have to develop it.
And one more importance thing. The price is showing on screen. It's not OK.

THIS SITE IS FULL OF SCAMMERS, IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO RECEIVE YOUR GOODS THEY WILL BE UTTER CRAP ANYWAY. MOST OF THE COMPANIES ADVERTISING ON THIS SITE JUST KEEP YOUR MONEY AND NEVER SEND OUT THE GOODS. THEN THEY GIVE YOU LAME EXCUSES, TELLING YOU YOU HAVE TO PAY 90% IN EXPORT DUTIES. IF YOU DO DECIDE TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM ONLY PAY THROUGH PAYPAL.
