“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 love Alibaba. I wish I had started sooner with Alibaba, that would have saved me a lot of money. Now see if it is possible to sell something through Alibaba from Suriname.

Linhua is a very famous Chinese food packaging brand in Australia and the United States. We heard from my partners. We are very fortunate to have a cooperation with them. It is trustworthy.

Easy and fast to get your requirement of materials, parts, and machines. The payment process was much more convenient and secure, there are also many options of payment you can choose in between.

Alibaba is very effective and an amazing resource. I need to explore it more because it gets a little confusing at times, but it's an excellent and complete website so I can't complain.

I have been using Alibaba for a few of our company's product needs for several years now. I have only had positive outcomes. The sellers are very responsive and eager to please you. They have been easy to communicate with, and adaptable to our specific needs and requests. We are in the beauty industry, so we have used Alibaba for different custom packaging products, as well as ingredient sourcing.

As for quality -- It's usually pretty easy to see the quality of the products the sellers advertise; always good photos and videos (if not, then ask. If no response, move on to another seller). As with anything, you get what you pay for. If you are buying dirt-cheap products, expect lower quality. There are thousands of sellers on Alibaba though that make high quality goods, and you can find pretty much anything you are looking for. If not, someone will be willing to create it for you. I always pay for my orders with their Trade Assurance for security and protection, should an order not be as expected. Never send wire transfers, or pay outside of Alibaba, that is my recommendation. Reputable and professional sellers will always offer Trade Assurance payments.

Tip for consumers:
Most sellers have great communication. If you come across one who does not, just move on. Be safe, and use their Trade Assurance payment option. This comes with added security, should there be a problem with an order.

Products used:
raw ingredients, product packaging & labeling

Ordered material I was having trouble finding in stock. It arrived on time and intact. Even with the price of shipping the cost was equal to what I normally pay for the product.

Good experience to be the first to use the page
Please enter at least 100 characters.
I suggest you enable pages in Spanish, because I placed my order with a translator.

By ordering a item that has trade assurance is an amazing service and stress less. Once your shipment is confirmed you don't need to worry. I always use trade assurance service from Alibaba...
