“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.

Beware of theCHANGZHOU RISTAR ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL
WILL SCAM AND LIE WHEN THEY SHIP TO YOU ANY LEFT OVER JUNK THAT THEY AVE AND NEVER ORDERED BY YOU
BEWARE DO NOT PATRONISE FROM
RISTAR CHANGZHOU CYCLES dishonest vendor.
After 3 months of your bike is in factory and then being painted.
When threatened to cancel they say only black color then send you compliment different bike.
L ordered a lady's walk through ebike. For my wife. See photo they send me some tall men's bike no use for my wife. And later said only have this one. I can sell it if I don't need!
Alibaba just side with vendor when I ask for return or refund.
Just beware... scammers on ALIBABA CHANGHOU RISTAR ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL CO. EBIKES.

It was easy to get multiple quotes, compare prices and select a verified supplier by reviewing Alibaba's data provided on each supplier.

Verified purchase

Alibaba Customer. Made several big transactions.
Only 1 Seller was professional and honest:
- Foshan Linhao Art Glass Co (Joy).
Highly recommend this company to everyone!

All other Sellers sent defective product with flaws and refuse to fix it.
Sellers:
- refuse to fix defects or return some amount of money.
- doors opens the wrong way (not as ordered), not like in USA
- Door glass inserted the wrong way
- missing parts
Etc...
Seller reply's: "Sorry for inconvenience"

Other Seller: (Shijiazhuang Yilin Arts Import - Ruthy)
We ordered 2 mantel fireplaces and window trims.
1 fireplace arrived marble. Another - not marble (limestone - cheaper material). But they assured me"don't believe your eyes - it's marble!"
Missing parts!
This company charged me FULL price + expensive shipping for their mistake (missing parts). They took our money and didn't sent the product for 1 year.
Seller, why did you sent as fake marble? Did we pay you with fake money?

Alibaba? Dispute? Yes. We filed dispute 5 times - Alibaba canceled it.
Conclusion: Alibaba don't care about their reputation.
I won't buy anything on Alibaba.
I strongly recommend to avoid Alibaba to my friends and family members.
Alibaba, if you want to keep your customers, you should make them happy, not commit a fraud.

If your supplier has the Trade Assurance Stample, you can buy with no fear, there are very professional companies on Alibaba. Really liked.

Believe me guy, don't trust verified logo, I bought a product ( aphrodisiac)from guangxi kaitai technology 5 years on App, I received a blister without expiry date, batch number and without name( no conform with customs) and without any documents ( invoice and certificates) Alibaba didn't want to wait until the supplier receive a goods. I contacted Thailand embassy( product made in Thailand), they told me that your product and company ( goodherbs) doesn't exist( I have all proofs). I found that they switched to new company ( guangxi taimeile technology) with verified logo plus 1 year. Unfortunately Alibaba is partner in crime( even sender is an other company, check in the picture)Guys if you want to do business with Chinese go to China find a product, stay there, check your product piece after piece, full your boxes or containers, don't trust them ( 0% confidence) us LC. Don't trust trade insurance on alibaba, it's fake ( they advantage their company) even help center on their app doesn't respond. Keep your money in your pocket better to lose them ( receive goods then pay) good luck. Amrex imp/export company
