Order #**************
Order date: 2024-07-30
Total: USD 103.00
I bought samples from Shenzhen Plery Network Tech Co., Ltd.
They sent samples which are not working. When I asked replacement, they asked me more money for additional shipping cost. So I went Alibaba for help.
I only got refund cost of the product. Not for air shipping. From 103.00, I only got refund 42.00.
Buyers, Be careful. ALIBABA IS FOR CHINA SUPPLIER.

Last Christmas I order approximately $120.00 of products from Alibaba. They never came. However, my credit card company has continued to bill me for those preoducts even though a wrote them a leeter telling them I never received the products they were asking me to pay for. They have billed me repeatidly, and have negitively infuenced my credit even though they were witten about why I would not pay. I will never pay for anything I didn't receive, and I am NOT legally required to. I don't know what to do to get this situation resolved.

Dear All,
I am writing to share my personal experience with Alibaba in hopes of raising awareness and encouraging others to be cautious before committing to any of their subscription services. I have been using Alibaba as a dropshipping supplier, primarily sourcing products to sell on eBay. Out of curiosity, I once visited the Alibaba subscription page. Shortly after, I was contacted by three senior business executives who persistently pressured me to sign up for the Alibaba Gold Membership—a service that I had no interest in and was clearly not suited for my needs. Due to the persistent follow-ups and pressure, I eventually agreed. On November 26,2024, I attempted to make a wire transfer to Alibaba's Citibank account. However, the payment was later canceled because my bank informed me that the transfer was missing Alibaba's full legal company name. I was assured by the bank that the funds would be returned within two business days. Trusting this, I proceeded to make a second payment of USD $1,999 through PayPal on November 27,2024, which was instantly received by Alibaba. Unfortunately, the initial wire transfer from November 26 was never refunded, and despite my continuous efforts since January 2025, I have not been able to recover that payment, nor have I received a refund for the one-year Gold Membership fee. It has become increasingly clear that Alibaba is prioritizing fee collection over genuine customer support. I now feel misled and unsupported, and I believe others should be aware of such practices. Alibaba's lack of transparency and refusal to resolve the issue is deeply disappointing. If anyone has experienced something similar or knows of a direct email address or contact number to reach someone at Alibaba who can actually help resolve this issue, I would be extremely grateful for your guidance. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. Please be careful before subscribing to Alibaba's services—ensure it truly fits your business needs and always verify refund policies in writing. Warm regards, Date of experience: November 26,2024

Lots of lies
September 21, 2024

I can not recommend using this platform...As many others have stated Alibabas Trade Assurance is a come on scam.We purched 6500.00 worth of tool cabnits from "Quindao Chrecary International Trade Co"
All during the Q and A process they told me how great their products and services are. How they stood behind there products with a 2 year warentee and how they had State Side service reps to handle any claims. Alibaba also claims to have your back. I have been dealing with a damaged Cabnit of over 2 months now and all I get are excuses.
The seller is communicating with me but tells me there is nothing they can personally do that Insurance won't cover the damage. Well then they should send me a replacement unit right? Nope they are unwilling to do that as well. If you buy anything from this platform it's like going to a Casino and placing that money on the Roulette table.
The quality of these cabnits from this vender is claimed to be Snapon quality...That's a lie...They are worse then Harbor Freights cheapest quality cabnits. Stay clear of this vender and Stay clear of Alibaba.

I've ordered twice from Alibaba and the products themselves were okay. The shipping and added fees caught me off guard. A $3 item quickly became $7 after shipping and customs were factored in! Its a great platform if you're buying in large quantities but for smaller orders, the costs can add up

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!

Professionalism and PREMIUM qualityb
June 26, 2024

It arrived in Romania much earlier than I expected - the quality is PREMIUM - Super - much more beautiful than in the pictures. Perfect professionalism of the seller - 5 stars are few both in terms of quality and service. 10 stars is normal

I'm Extremely happy with my experience with Alibaba up to now. It is one reliable platform and I believe 80% overseas purchasers know this platform. Massive product range are available with low cost for the bulk purchase.it is very helpful for the benefit of my business. The problem is how to select the trusted the suppliers?", you need to do investigation and supplier qualification then you decide to trust or not.

Excellent site. Wide range of products, sellers include manufacturers as well as retailers. There are enough options including RFQ for sourcing products / spares. If you find the right seller, it is great

ここの商品の価格は安いと思うが、家具などの搬送費用が製品価格以上で高くて購入できない。
海外への搬送ルートや方法などをよく計画して欲しい。

This titanium tube is slender and presents a great challenge in processing. After numerous trials and continuous improvement of the process, the final sample turned out to be extremely perfect, and I am very satisfied.The supplier is also very professional, patient, responsive and I think they are trustworthy.

If you are looking to step up your game on garment embellishment, this is the supplier to contact and make business with. Very Professional, above and beyond the customer service. Delivery was super fast and they give great suggestions of their products to fulfill the needs and requirements for the designs I am planning to make.

The mode of payment is secure and safer. The adverts that prompt the buy should have the correct price as opposed to asking the price from the supplier and find its high than what is being advertised.

Excellent 48V Pressure Washer
April 26, 2024

Nicely packaged in compact case, each part enclosed in bubble wrap (2 batteries) to prevent accidental damage. Kit comes with 1 battery, so I ordered an extra battery, since I planned on keeping this unit if it worked well. Tested and had just enough power to wash away dried off mud and bird droppings. Has enough pressure to wash vehicle from 4 ft away. Did not come with any hose clamp to lock the water filter within the water bucket. Used 2 buckets of water to wash my car and I considered this to be the best pressure washer I have used so far. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a good one.
