“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.

They said shipping was 9-12 days...
A month later I receive my package but they said I couldn't return it because receiving it means I'm accepting it?! The seller also shipped my product without informing me. He told me to wait a few days. 1 week later I reached out to him and he said he shipped them already. If he would've notified me first I would've told him to cancel. You cannot return an item that is in transit. You have to wait for it to be delivered which is what I did. Smh, never again.
Update: I deactivated my account. Wendy, Robert You and his entire team, along with customer service reps were all unhelpful. Not only did they deny every suggestion I offered to settle their mess up but they apparently have a list of "policies" that they throw in your face that tells you why the problem is yours and not theirs. 50 bottles ordered only 32 were usable. They wanted me to take pictures of all of the broken pieces before even considering A SMALL PORTION of a refund?! This was a week after I sent them pictures already. I'm not keeping shattered glass around for a "company" who has already decided that they weren't going to help.

I ordered Ferulic acid from Ali Baba. I paid 200 dollars to have it shipped within 10 to 12 business days. They sent it to Memphis Tennessee instead of Canada. I received no product but an email from Ali Baba saying now that I have had the product for a couple of months, the time to complain is over. The product arrived after 3 months and was labeled Wild Yam Extract. I contacted the company and they said that they always put their ferulic acid in Wild Yam Extract bags! So I paid 250 dollars to have the product assayed by a good lab and it came back NOT FERULIC ACID. CanLab China told me that the lab was wrong and that it was ferulic acid! Also they shorted me one kg. of product. They refused me a refund because they lied about the product. So I am out almost 800 dollars. DO NOT ORDER THROUGH ALI BABA unless you are a gambler and can pay to have the product assayed by a lab in under 30 days (the time you are allowed to complain).

Tip for consumers:
AVOID CN LAB NUTRITION ASIAN GROUP-YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFF

KN95, quality is good. As it is described.
It was easy to communicate with Helen, the sales agent. She took her time to make sure, we understand the process.

Without Alibaba I would not be able to do the business I have been doing. I never see the goods but I am assured that the quality I get is good thanks to their supplier vetting process.

Alibaba works hard to give their customers a good all round service by giving helpful information on how to contact suppliers through RFQ and an easy to use contact messaging system.

Placed an order with an Alibaba, china based supplier. When the supplier failed to meet our contracted requirements or the delivery schedule we canceled the order and requested a refund. The supplier was willing to provided the refund less the difference in the foreign exchange rate and related fees (about $280USD on a $8400 order.) It so happened that the Yuan/Dollar exchange rate dropped during the period of waiting on my order. Raised the dispute through Trade Assurance which is suppose to offer 100% buyer protection. After supplying clear evidence of the contractual gaps and obvious delivery delay the Trade Assurance rep. Seemed to totally disregard the evidence and favor the Chinese supplier. Seemingly no options for appeal. Trade Assurance is bogus protection as the Reps do not seem to spend the time to understand or review submitted details even if clearly defined in the contract with the supplier which is already part of the Alibaba transaction. In my opinion they are largely partial to protecting the China suppliers. Your even prevented from leaving negative feedback on the transaction.
