I ordered 2KG of Maslinic acid (an olive extract), through AliExpress a subsidiary of Alibaba.com.  I paid $288 but never received any product.  There are not humans to contact to resolve the issue and there is no way to open a dispute in spite of receipt of several e-mails from the company suggesting that I can open a disupte.  What you really get is a circle talking chatter bot but no possible way to correct or address a failure to deliver by the seller.

This site does not appear to be legitimate and I for one am out nearly 300 dollars for having use them.

Until I filed a dispute, I was unable to use the dispute resolution process at AliBaba.  As it turns out it was a technical issue in that I was using the wrong e-mail to sign in, however I was unable to find any way to get ahold of a live person to dig in to this and resolve it and furthermore the drop dead date for filing a dispute was fast approaching.

Since filing this report with Ripoff .com I have received an e-mail from a live person at Alibaba and also from the seller.  I still have not received a refund nor my product but at least it appears that things are moving in the right direction. On resolution of this issue I will provide an update on this case to ensure that the record is set straight.
