Does anyone have any experience of ordering furniture from Alibaba?

I thought this was going to be about the kebab van that’s in the lay-by down the ring road. I was going to recommend a large mixed doner.

As you were…

Yes, I have had a pretty good experience but still treat with caution.

A relative has ordered a very big, luxury, expensive item and had a good experience too - however, an acquaintance of theirs took the plunge with this item first and was able to confirm that all was fine prior to my relative splashing the cash and arranging the shipment.

Anything interesting that you’re looking at buying?

A friend of mine uses this site regularly. He says it’s either really, really good or really, really bad. He only buys small stuff though.

I haven't ordered furniture but I have had no issues from the other bits and pieces I have picked up from there! Just be sure to check reviews and smallprint

Thanks, I’m looking at garden furniture.
