DHgate Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company appears to be significantly tarnished by customer experiences, with numerous reports of unreliable product delivery and poor quality. Many customers express frustration over inadequate customer service, citing difficulties in obtaining refunds, unresponsive sellers, and complicated dispute processes. While some customers initially found value in the low prices, the overwhelming sentiment is one of disappointment, particularly regarding product discrepancies and shipping issues. Trust in the platform is low, as many users recommend avoiding it altogether in favor of more reputable alternatives.

Never got my package from them, and customer support has never gotten back to me. Won't let me log onto my account, tells me it's an invalid email, yet I get emails from them every other day, won't let me create a new account with my email. Very unhappy with their service. It's been two months since I ordered from them, and nothing. Don't waste your money

As the title says, they took my money but never shipped my order. DHGate has an internal messaging system, so you have to log in to their system in order to read message from sellers. My seller said that he wanted more money before he would ship the insoles that I ordered, after he had already received payment. That definitely sounds illegal to me. I tried DHGate's dispute resolution process, but they never responded.

DHGate hasn't missed a beat in sending marketing emails though.

I've added some photos of what I ordered vs. what I received.

My order took 3 weeks to be processed. When it arrived the sizes were not at all what I ordered. I ordered a 44reg suit and the suit that was delivered was essentially a boys size. I've been trying to return for a refund and I'm getting no replies at all.

Ripping customers off is there daily grind at DH gate they use every dirty trick you can ever think of the worst service I have ever received from anyone any site anywhere they sell ONLY factory seconds, let me repeat that they sell only factory seconds even the fancied up items that they touch up where a factory second to begin with. I've been a knife maker for 30+ years and I've been in the business and selling knives for as long a company that allows sellers to blatantly steal from customers give out fake tracking numbers send items that are clearly defective or not working and then do everything possible to make it nearly impossible for you to get any thing to go in your favor Customer Service told me I want to dispute then sent me an email the next day saying their seller refused to resend me a new item even though I had paid for it so apparently the inmates are running the asylum over there as well

Hi Chris!

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. For your concern, opening a dispute is the best way for concerns like orders that has not been received or items that are not described, to be refunded, reshipped, or replaced.

For the email you have received, it is a system generated notification to inform you that the seller has responded to the proposal you sent for the dispute. That way, you can respond to the seller's new proposal; whether to agree to it or not.

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us through the following link: http://www.dhgate.com/contact/contactUs.do?from=nav_menu&ntalker=1 or send an email to [email protected].

I ordered a shirt from DHgate Jan. 3,2017. All email information about my order was written in code and unreadable. I tried several times to communicate with them replying to those emails - no direct response. Their website only offers prefab answers to questions. I do not want to accept their web-chat policy. I received an email stating the Chinese New Year was taking place and all business stops for this event. Sad that is the only email in the English language.

Hi Cynthia!

We checked and tracked your order but there are no information from the tracking number provided by the seller. In this case, you can proceed in opening a dispute to request for a full refund or reshipment.

Here's how you can open a dispute for your order:
1) Click "My DHgate " on the upper right corner of the page.
2) Click Awaiting Confirm".
3) Find the Order number and click the link "Return&Refund" at the right side of the order.

If the problem is not resolved through direct communication between you and seller, or if you don't get a response from the seller, you may request for DHgate Mediation after 5 days that you have clicked on "Return & Refund" link and then we will assign a person from Resolution Center to take care of your case.

If you have any other question, please do not hesitate to contact us through the following link: http://www.dhgate.com/contact/contactUs.do?from=nav_menu&ntalker=1

Hi Rose,

We understand the importance in getting the postage refund. We checked this order and the shipping cost refund was applied in your DHpay account on 2017-01-24 for the amount of $51.95. The money was applied in your DHpay account since you did not make the direct payment on our website for the postage. Since you have already activated your DHpay account, please proceed in submitting a request to withdraw it and transfer it to your bank account. You just need to visit this page and fill out the needed information: http://dg.dhgate.com/myaccount/ewallet/tran.do?act=withdrawinfo#mydh-ewal-ewa-3

Once a withdrawal request is submitted, our Payment Team will process it within 3-7 working days. Once the money is sent out to your bank account, we will notify you for the update in your DHgate account.

Please do not hesitate to contact us through the following link if you have any questions: http://www.dhgate.com/contact/contactUs.do?from=nav_menu&ntalker=1 or send an email to [email protected].
