Has anyone had any experience of buying in bulk direct from China using Alibaba? Was your experience positive or negative? Anything to beware? |

I made an order about a month ago. Hasn't shown up yet but they're pretty clear up front that it might take up to 45 days to deliver. |

Is it the first order you have made from them? |

I've ordered a few things, arrived well inside the expected time, seems like OK service |

That is good to hear. Makes me feel more confident about ordering. |

Friend of mine has used Alibaba for a variety of goods. Only issue he had was on one order where customs seized his goods for being 'counterfeit'. |

My company almost bought a bulk amount of computer screen covers (Touch Screens in a stainless steel manufacturing business… welding, grinding, etc…) Anyways, I was doing the research and almost bought until I saw the size of the package they would be shipped in. They would have been folded in half to fit in the package. Do not need a crease down the middle of the 11x23 screen protector, thank you anyways. So -- the lesson is, READ EVERYTHING so you know what you are getting into first, I would not have even suspected they would fold these 80 screen covers in half until I saw they give the shipping box size. |

Alibaba did a good job for me finding and supplying some horse-medicine which I take for my worn-out knees. Not yet approved for humans in the USA. The only annoyance is that they then spammed me mercilessly about other stuff for months, and there was NO WAY to unsubscribe from the Alibaba spam. |
