Bait and switch

"I wasted so much of my time responding to many product listings, namely small tractors and a towable excavators. And "all" of the suppliers quotes for the "actual listed product" was either 2 or 3 times higher than the Maximum posted price.

For example posted item cost: CAN1,500 to CAN2,500, I would get quotes back at CAN5,000 to CAN7,500

The classic "bait and switch" save your time.

Great for wholesale purchases

"I bought an engagement ring on Alibaba. I actually live locally in China so I guess that helped me trust them a bit more, but I was still a bit hesitant since I was spending thousands of dollars. I talked to quite a few stores until I found the right diamond. Not every store had great customer service and most of the store's representatives don't have perfect english, but they are all professional and will help you with what you need. Just be aware of the time difference.

Anyway, honestly it was totally worth it. Labor is much cheaper in China and, especially with diamonds, you can get some really great wholesale prices. Alibaba is by far the best platform for shopping in China if you don't know Chinese.

Excellent platform for global buyers

"Alibaba has tons of good suppliers. Alibaba's 'TradeAssurance' protects buyers in case of delivery or quality issues with orders placed via their platform. A very good place for new entrepreneurs to start off."

Very good business done here

"I bought some labels for my company on alibaba and the seller was very good. It was my first time using this company as I usually use aliexpress. But for bulk orders you do have to go here. I was pleasantly surprised about how easy the shopping experience was and they hold your money until you have received the products. If its not to standard they give you an option for a refund, which i did not require but it was good to know that the option was there.
Highly recommend as shopping here saved me over 3000 dollars which is the quote I was getting to print the labels with other companies.

Good way to meet suppliers but you need to be cautious about each company you work with

"I have recently started a business so I needed to find wholesalers to stock my store. It takes a lot of research and thorough investigating to begin new relationships with each of the vendors I deal with on here. The biggest complaint I have is that probably 1 out of 2 deals they suddenly change the terms weather it is changing the shipping method to a slower service without letting you know, or changing the quantity on you (due to alleged higher shipping costs). Also on 3 occassions I have received orders with damaged goods and they just say they will take care of it on the next order, so I find that very frustrating. It really takes patience to weed the good ones from the bad ones on here and honestly it just makes me cautious with every new supplier. It would be nice to be able to forge a relationship with one vendor and just go to them each time but I have not been able to find one that I fully trust. The other side of this is that I would have no idea how to reach out to the various vendors if not for the introduction on Alibaba. Also it makes it easy to communicate because everything is in your own language. Payment is easy enough to make. "

Alibaba Has Been A Great Resource

"When searching for vendors for a new business, Alibaba kept popping up. After spending a little time and figuring out the site, I've used it consistently for months. I feel safe communicating and ordering, and know my transactions are protected. There are always a few jerks here and there in life, though I've had multiple positive experiences with suppliers."
