“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

“Horrible company, horrible service responses, stay away do not buy from this company”

Steven D.
10/23/24

Would give a zero but not an option so a rating of one is generous. Bought a product, and product not delivered and company took my dad's money. I immediately stepped in to help and no responses to our e-mails and chats. You cannot call them on the phone to explain., worst experience and company I have ever dealt with. It's like you are talking to someone in space, and nobody is there to answer. We called the better business bureau (look at those reviews and see the true story) and the FBI to report this company.

Alibaba promises Trade Assurance Protection but that is a total lie. I bought male and female Jackets on one supply on Alibaba. As usual, we are encouraged to pay via Alibaba so we can get Trade protection. The items i received did not match the standards I was promised. The measurements were totally wrong, some were 8-11 cm short. And that is too much, because it can move a medium Jacket into very small. Alibaba promised me that when the measurements are missing between 2-3 cm, they will not be able to refund me, but after i showed them that it misses around 8-11 cm, they start to tell me stories. They say I used my own measurements, this did not matter even if I took a video and sent it to them. These people are scammers. NEVER BUY FROM THEM if you don't want to lose your money.

We did business and it worked fine. Communication was easy and direct. Always again. We are fairly new to this site and we love it from the beginning on. We feel very good by using this service. We also like the protection of Alibaba and help if needed. Therefore we recommend the service and will for sure use it many times. Alexander

I've ordered several things from the sellers on Alibaba, and I've only had one small hiccup. Every other order has been exactly to my expectations and, in some cases, completely exceeded my expectations.

The only downside is the cost of shipping from China to the US. And of course, this isn't their fault.

My business potential has grown exponentially since using Alibaba.

It would have been a wonderful service if the mobile charge could fix properly to charge the battery and also battery itself could hold the charged at least for a couple hours.

But it didn't so I have to send the good back.

Fantastic experience, took all my concerns about working with a Chinese company away. I would certainly recommend using the Alibaba guarantee service, it removed all worries about buying from a new company.

This was my first time using Alibaba. I just have one complaint. The email interface is horrible. It is hard to see conversation history, I came across having to try multiple time to attach files. I think you can do a lot better in enhancing the email interface.

Never having done this before one was a bit afraid things would go wrong. It was a bit difficult understanding the system but once you just carried out their step by step instructions everything was great. I am just an individual not a company so it was personal.

Based on the two experiences with Alibaba.com, it is really a trusted source for acquiring products. It is safe, easy to use, with many available alternatives and provide good protection for shoppers.

When choosing the Russian language to work with Alibaba, English is often displayed in messages and menus. This happens very unpredictable, and without a system. Just suddenly Russian is replaced by English.

If I place an order true Alibaba the supplier has a hard time with my shipping address, because my city "Steinbach" is not in the system.
Could you please enter Steinbach Manitoba Canada into the system?
Other than that I love using Alibaba to find products.

Thank you

Great quality hair, always meet my expectations. Thanks to Amanda Hair. The experience has been great. All agents from the factory are very professional, always send the right orders on time accordingly to the request of a customer. Do not struggle anymore to source your manufacturer, Amanda hair only produces only hair upon your demand and the prices are affordable to distributors or retailers.

Seller Echo from Kamada electric bike sent us 50 BMS. They were very poor and did not work. Seller did not accept return after we supplied all kinds of evidences. We had to file a dispute. Alibaba asked all sorts of evidences, and we sent them! But they continued asking us to hire "their third party" for $500 to confirm dysfunction (we cannot trust to pay that $500 anymore!), and at the end, they denied our return. It was just a return! We did multiple tests, and took all kinds of evidences, which wasted us a lot of time. At the end, no return! Be careful how they got their over 4 rating!

I found a good supplier who did an amazing job so did not need to turn to Alibaba's 'Trade Assurance'. I had read the reviews about the trade assurance dependant on supplier's willingness to refund. I was careful in selection of the supplier and everything went well but will continue to be cautious.

I have enjoyed working with the Alibaba group, but in recent days I am distressed to discover that all my previous messages with some of my suppliers have been lost as a result of the new updates made to the message center. Please help! What can I do to recover them!
Distressed customer.

The key is to find the right supplier, and once you find a company you trust and like working with, this is the best way to source products for your business. Love Alibaba and their suppliers. We have found a great company and continue to work with them for our business needs.

Ordered nutrition powder from Shaanxi Pioneer Biotech. They shipped quickly, and it arrived quickly. We used Ali Baba trade assurance which makes it safe for me as a buyer because if the seller doesn't ship the product or it is not as described, I can lodge a dispute, and get a refund. There was no problem with the transaction though- I got my product, and the seller got their money.

I had no idea how to do anything but the woman I was dealing with sorted out shipping, delivered to my door duty paid, and everything went extremely smoothly. I had confidence to pay due to the Alibaba guarantee, and I was able to transfer to a UK bank account that then sent the money to China, making transaction costs low. Very pleased and would use Alibaba again.

I decided to make an order. A company representative helped with ordering, and also answered all my silly questions. We also waited without any problems and questions while our company moved to new areas and while financing allowed us to place an order. Representatives of the company communicated politely and professionally. I recommend to talk with representatives if you have questions, respond quickly enough considering the time difference with Ukraine.

In my opinion, when I decide to negotiate with a supplier, I am sure that behind both of them there is one that works to ensure that everything develops to the fullest. Alibaba is a system that helps preserve good relationships and dealings for a long time with a minimum of problems.
When a problem arises, they are there so that these are solved in the best way.
Thank you
