1. [R1] Alibaba.com 1/5 · US Platform siding with STEALING Suppliers: I have been dealing with an return/refund issue since APRIL, where the seller was at fault. Mind you the return has been done and refund is nowhere in sight, they want to do a fraction of agreed refund! Seller refused to make it right, I went through the platform and they have been ZERO help even after all evidence has been sent to them!
2. [R3] Alibaba.com 3/5 · US Notifications are out of control and occasional scams: WAYYY too many bs notifications and be careful what you buy because you’ll receive a something else
3. [R4] Alibaba.com 1/5 · US Báo cáo: Toàn bán hàng giả
4. [R13] Alibaba.com 1/5 · US Buyer: Too many scams. Seems to just be a waste of time.
5. [R19] Alibaba.com 1/5 · US Scam seller and Alibaba automatically closed my dispute: Scam seller never sent my package. After four months of not receiving items I opened a case and Alibaba automatically closed it after providing the tracking evidence they asked for. Terrible customer service that does not stand behind their platform.
6. [R22] Alibaba.com 1/5 · US Horrible customer service: Horrible customer service and very greedy about money. Even if the product says “Easy Return” and “Money back protection” you will not get your money back and the return process isn’t easy. Don’t expect to get your money back if something is wrong with the product.
7. [R25] Alibaba.com 1/5 · US Refund: I placed an order for $129.90 the company initiated a refund because they did not charge me enough for shipping. Their refund was for $121.40. When I asked wth with the difference in amount. I was told it was the transaction fee. So I am paying for this mistake of yours? Way to make money off of people. Wow so if I do the math right….. $8.50 x how ever many people you do this to = a good p

10. [R33] Alibaba.com 1/5 · US Misleading Delivery Times and Poor Buyer Protection: I used the Alibaba.com app for purchases and my experience has been very disappointing. I placed an order on May 31 and paid for express shipping, with a promised delivery time of 7, 13 business days. Despite this, I still have not received my item. The seller did not provide a clear tracking number before purchase, and communication about shippi
11. [R10] Alibaba.com 1/5 · US El App no abre: La aplicación no quiere abrir
12. [R12] Alibaba.com 3/5 · GB Keeps updating all the time now and forcing app updates: I have had this app for 3 years and it’s generally pretty good but I am starting to get really annoyed that it keeps updating every week. Every time I go to use it (everyday) you have to update it and several times there hasn’t been an update available but yet on the app it forces the update. I have 16 factories I work with and it’s just ver

20. [R53] Amazon Shopping 3/5 · US Terrible Payment System: While it offers many options and stores, getting it to process payment is terrible. I have to submit payment several different ways and there is never a notice which delays my orders. Deliver sucks too. Never a one day or fast delivery.
21. [R54] Amazon Shopping 1/5 · US this is a great app but they got the wrong bed frame for me.: I am writing a bad review because when I ordered the bed it was white and had LED lights but when it came it was all yellow brown color and it looked way more different compared to the bed I bought and it costed $130 just for it to come like this? Cmon Amazon I know you guys can do better.

36. [R109] AliExpress 3/5 · US Not very user friendly: App works well and has never crashed. The interface is not very user friendly. You have to go back and forth to find what you need. The product review link is buried on a different screen, for example.

[R110] AliExpress 1/5 · US Awful: I am asked to review the app regularly… and is awful.. cheep… awful app… offer a way to track sellers, which many of them are scammers or dishonest … make this app for users/customers… turn off the gamification and “supper” offers … awful app… awful This is an awful application for 2025, 2026….do something about it.
