STAY AWAY – worst supplier I’ve met in 10 years. Lured me with a prototype at USD 4.20, then tripled the price to USD 11 and still shipped junk. Batch 100 % defective: wrong fully‑threaded bolts, crooked welds, loose stop‑nuts, 1 cm lever play. Every spec and PI clause ignored. They had promised custom screws, then hid behind MOQ excuses and swapped in cheap parts without asking. When confronted they blamed “shipping” and dangled a small refund. Alibaba mediation scraped back only €493 on a €3 000 order: I’m left with VAT, duties, >€700 rework, one‑month sales freeze and staff I paid to sit idle. Supplier broke the 5 % defect refund clause, produced a different “demo” unit to mislead the dispute, and vanished once cash cleared. They ignored six improvement documents, gave zero accountability, only excuses and price hikes. Buyer protection? Forget it—Alibaba just mediates and pushes you to accept crumbs. Do not risk a cent with this factory – unrecoverable loss, zero professionalism.

Response from supplier:
Hello, the information you provided is a generalization and does not respect the facts. This part is part of the remarks in a previously completed order and does not match the situation of this order. We have applied for Alibaba's liability determination for this order and made a fair and impartial determination based on the actual situation. You agree to the solution, and the platform has also communicated and completed the compensation. For this product, we did not raise the price. We merely restored the normal market price of this product. This product itself will move along with the movement process. It would be unfair to attribute all transportation issues to our manufacturer. We are a physical factory that has been in operation for over a decade and cannot do without the support and trust of our customers.
