“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.

Wonderful experience with these guys; Amy who was my contact had perfect English and made the experience very smooth. Customization was perfect, and shipping was fast and before the expected shipping date. Batteries were super high quality and fit/finish was great.

This was my first time using Alibaba and I have to admit that I was skeptical at first. However, I am happy to say that it was a great experience and I plan to continue to use the site and it's vendors. I even recommended the site to a family member and she can't wait to get her first order. The quality and selection of the items on Alibaba are incredible and the price can't be beat! I was also impressed with the security when making my payment and the return policy as well.

Tip for consumers:
Expect long shipping time. 4-6 weeks.

I am an ebay user and have made many successful purchases online. Recently I tried aliexpress. The first purchase was very successful. Then I tried to buy a 512gb (1) flash drive from Danny YU. It was a complete failure and obviously a counterfeit. I sent emails to Mr. YU to voice my complaint and request a refund. NO REPLY. Tried to lodge a dispute - might as well talk to a garbage can impossibly unfriendly site. Utter impossibility to contact aliexpress. I can only assume that the seller was one of the FORTY THIEVES that ali deals with. NEVER AGAIN!

Tip for consumers:
Please do yourself a favour and give Alibaba and the 40 thieves a big miss. Stick to the reliable sites who offer some sort of customer guarantees and service.

I was very impressed with Alibaba as they kept me informed all the way along from me placing my order, confirming that the supplier had received my order and that my order had been dispatched. This gives me confidence that this is good place to seek and order products.

I had dropped my flashlight and broke the LED globe. Spent over a month on the internet trying to find a DIY replacement or supplier in the US. Finally found an add from Alibaba that was exactly what I needed. Placed my order and received the exact replacement required in about a week as was stated in their advertising. Excellent price and professional service. Very satisfied with, price, fast shipping time and professional service.

Very straightforward
The correspondence with the seller also remains in the time series, and it is wonderful that the product, the delivery date, and the price are secured, which is easy to look over.

I nearly got scammed by Rose Tong from Alibaba. I ordered stainless steel products and paid for them. Then was prompted by a friend to question if definatly was stainless steel. No it's Alloy was the reply. But I paid for stainless steel? I do you good deal was the reply, Alloy is more colors effective and you don't know the difference.
So peed off. I canceled the order and lost 2.95% of my payment to a Alibaba transaction fee which as far as I'm concerned Rose Tong should have been made to pay. And that's another thing. There is no Help page, you can't make a complaint. You can only apply for a refund.
This seller would have gotten away with this if not for my friend.

Tip for consumers:
Make sure you ask the seller if what you are purchasing is exactly as described.

It is a pleasure to deal with Tina. Her communication skills are excellent, she is always willing to help and customise the order. She is flexible and understanding. It gives me peace of mind that she keeps me up to date and ensures that everything is working smoothly.
Looking forward to doing a lot more business with Tina and Zhangjiajie Fuyuan Simulation Flowers Co, Ltd.
I would highly recommend them, as they really take pride in their products and the quality is excellent.
