The third important point to note is always choose suppliers who accept trade assurance. Trade Assurance is a type of insurance that Alibaba provides for your order and I highly recommend that you take advantage of this feature. So whenever you want to place orders through alibaba.com, use trade assurance which will give you peace of mind and hassle free delivery experience. This sort of assures that you will receive what you have ordered.
How Alibaba trade assurance works?
Whenever you buys any good with trade assurance, you will be sending money to Alibaba and Alibaba will be holding that money until you receive the products from the supplier or until the supplier dispatch the product and update the tracking information.
It’s kind of like ‘Escrow‘ which refers to an agreement where a third party holds money or an asset on behalf of the other two parties in a transaction.
