“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 received messages saying to me that my time to request for a refund was over when the product never reached my company yet. I think they dont pay attention to they are hiring as many of the sale representative dont want to try. Or if there is a problem with the product they no longer respond to you. I had set quite a big about to spent on here but i am close to change my mind,. Some things that they sales is so expensive that i would have to sale it here in Canada 4x the price to make a small catch up of my money after i am done paying for all the taxes... when they say 0.060- 0.070 that is a huge $%^%#&. I never received any really good price that makes me wanna come back but im gonna try one more time

Stay away from Alibaba they have sellers who are big scammers and. I bought two products from the same seller almost 9 months ago, one I never received and I sent Alibaba customer service the tracking number that shows that the product was never delivered to me and they asked me for more proof. If someone buys something through a platform, it is to have some security. The second product is a product with limitations to be resold because it has patent problems it cannot be resold so now I have almost 300 products in my possession that I will never be able to sell I was scammed by the seller and by Alibaba

Tip for consumers:

Alibaba is the first experience I have had the pleasure of trading with, outside my country( United States). They are very helpful explaining how to trade on their web site. I have found it to be a great experience. I feel like they are the go to, for any merchandise I need. Thank You, RJ

Alibaba needs to get more involved to gain customers trust chatting with company representatives is not a problem solver Alibaba has rules and policies they should be enforced free shipping means no cost to customer in shipping but when company makes customer pay shipping alibaba should inform seller to stop fake and bad advertising information

I have looked for a good reliable source to buy some materials for my business that were either hard to find or too expensive. Alibaba had all of the items I needed at an affordably price and they sales people were very knowledgeable about the products I ordered.

No Complaints. The manufacturer was very happy to have our business and was very helpful making little changes that we needed like converting over 100 units to 110V Ac from 220 also including the compliant power cord when asked.

As a first time user Alibaba I was unsure of what to expect but I am now very happy to say it was a pleasure and wish I had used the site a long time ago. Great communications and very quick turn around times I could not have asked for more. The quality of the product is far better than I expected

Alibaba is an amazing service and companies that want to eliminate bad business practices should really consider joining Alibaba. We are happy that we did. I reside in The U.S.A., but I enjoy doing business in China. My partners and I felt very safe doing business cross-country, knowing that Alibaba is there to see us through those unforeseen times or unexpected events.

Mrs. LI LY, at Guangzhou Dailusha Trading Co., Ltd, sold me a machine that never worked. I contacted them & they sent a video. I was able to get it to work only intermittently. It would work once, then not work the next time. They kept giving me different things to do and it was finally established that the handle on this machine was faulty. (There was a small screw that would drop out, causing it to malfunction) They promised to send a new one, but never did. They also stopped answering any of my emails/messages on Alibaba. I finally went to customer service with the complaint, but by then, my warranty had run out.

Save your money, I lost $1600 with Alibaba. I did have customer service contact me when I'd posted a negative review on another site, saying they'd look into it. That was 3 weeks ago and now, no response from them either. So besides the dishonest vendors, Alibaba's customer service doesn't do anything to rectify problems either.

Ordered hundreds of pkgs. Of seed, half were the wrong product, who knows what they were. I started filing disputes and that is when they decided to close my account with no warning at all. Beware of this company.

Went great, very easy communication, and goods came at a great price and good quality, Alibaba's site works well, albeit a bit clunky in places, but it does make the process of finding a manufacturer very straight-forward

The process is clear, straight forward and feels safe with Alibaba's assurance. One gets the feeling that no matter how complicated of frustrating the importing process can be that Alibaba is right there all along, very assuring.

We have been ordering through Alibaba for many years and highly recommend them. It's comforting to order from an unknown company when Alibaba is watching over everything. An easy and efficient way to purchase from other countries.

If any company is looking for plastic or rubber product in Alibaba.
Don't contact this company, they'll steal your product and package design and show them and sell them to other companies.
We're one of the victims.

I purchased a knock-of of loge technic. The product was grate for the price. Had fun building it. Although the gears could use some tweaking by the injection moulding group. Rougher and louder than Lego technic gears.

Very happy. Out of all Orders, which are in the 50 single transactions, we had only one issue with a supplier. Alibaba stepped in and helped to find a very good resolution. Products and People are awesome.

I was nervous to order from out of the country, but Bonnie with Haining Qiangyi Trading Co. Made the experience so wonderful. She was quick to respond, answered all my questions, and was super patient with me when I wanted to change things on my order or add more product last minute.

We needed some socks asap and Bonnie was able to make that happen. We also didn't need a huge quantity, and she was one of a very few that was willing to accommodate our needs. This for SURE will get her more business from us.

We received the socks, which had our logo embroidered at the top, and everyone was impressed! The quality of the socks and the embroidery was good... or logo lettering is very fine.

We will definitely be ordering from Haining Qiangyi Trading Co.! :)
