My first purchases with DHGate
December 12, 2016

I made 3 different purchases with 3 different sellers.
First seller (SHIDASTAR) was great. I received my order very quickly, product was as expected.
Second seller (PROWRUDDER) was good, product as expected but took a little longer, no problem.
Third seller (SAMLI2009) is still an extreme disappointment. They have yet to respond to my inquiry as to where my order is. Now they show that the order was delivered. NO! NOT TRUE, I am still waiting for a helpful response from Samli2009 or DHGate. I desperately need the product that I ordered from them and I am still getting jerked around.
I am at a loss, wondering how I can receive help from somebody/anybody with a slight bit of CUSTOMER SERVICE EMOTION. I feel like the proverbial Redheaded step child.
I do not want put a hold on my payment because I would like stay in good standing with DHGate. Please tell me what I should do.
Sincerely Tim C. - Cougar Defense Products
P.S. they ask if I have a photo I can add. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A PHOTO to add.

I am a dropshipper and I usually place many orders in one day on DHgate.
This past few days I am aloud to pay for 1 order, after this any order I pay for, the card is declined. Both my cards are declined! With message "The card shows a large amount of recent activity which may delay processing. Please try later". What you don't want my money?

I contacted my bank and the declines are not even showing on my bank records.

I contacted DHgate at *******@dhgate with no reply or help.

One of the orders I tried to pay for is *******

What I have to do now is use Skrill to pay for my orders. This is a HUGE inconvenience and Skrill fees are VERY EXPENSIVE. I have paid for 100's of orders with this card with absolutely no issues, so what is the problem?

Why am I only allowed one purchase a day?

I hope my issue will be resolved asap so I can remove this negative feedback

Hi Pamela!

We checked your order here and we can see that you have opened a dispute and requested for DHgate Mediation. However. The dispute was closed because you were not able to respond to the analyst's messages regarding your complaint. Your package shows delivered and the analyst offered you a partial refund but there were no replies so the payment has been released. We suggest that you send a message to the seller and negotiate on a resolution. If they agree on a refund, please ask him to leave a message for you saying 'I agree to refund you $***', and then you can contact us again and we will arrange the refund for you. If they dont agree to refund you we cannot operate for you too.

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 Or send email to: [email protected]

Hi Rashad,

Thanks for your feedback. You have an option to specify on your order how you like the item to be packed. The sellers can see your specification and are willing to cooperate with your requests. The delivery of the item will depend on the courier that you have selected when making a purchase. If you need the items sooner, we suggest that you use express couriers such as DHL, UPS or FedEx. Please provide the order number for the item that did not arrive yet so that we can check the order details and assist you further.

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].

There are only a handful of reviews here and who knows what percentage of those are fraudulent from DHgate employees. I purchased an item that never arrived and the seller advertised the product would be free if it didn't arrive in 23 days. DHgate did not enforce the guarantee of its seller and the dispute I filed didn't mean a thing. I never had an issue with Alibaba and their customer service has been excellent. I will never buy from from DHgate again after this experience.

Hi Dave,

Once an order is cancelled, you will not be able to leave a review since the merchant will be automatically submitted for punishment. DHgate is the platform for sellers to sell, if the merchant cannot supply the item that was ordered or the tracking number is invalid, these are few of the examples that we issue a refund to the customer. We have honored our Buyer Protection Program since a refund was applied on this transaction. We'll request for a $10 coupon for the inconvenience this has caused you.

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].

Beautiful hair extensions
May 5, 2021

I received my item much sooner then I expected. The hair is very soft and looks to be exactly what I imagined it would be. Remember as a Caucasian woman that gets a full weave done. We must have a invisible part! So be sure whatever color you choose has a part to go with it.
