I was nervous about trading with china at first however once I discovered DHgate I thought I would give it a try. I found the process to be easy and straightforward and the guarantee made me feel secure in the transaction. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent service and quick delivery
October 7, 2016

Information on the website, search possibilities, communication with the seller - it was all a very good experience. Also, the shipping itself was very quick, received the goods from China in Holland within a week. I like the setup of DHgate very much: accessible, easy to use, really powerful. Keep up the good job!

Fair enough
October 7, 2016

It quite good to buy direct from China through DHgate though sometimes little bit confusing with the seller and the customer service.
I mean, if someone disputes items and report seller for gave false tracking number, you guys should try to track before make statement that the seller already give tracking number. We aren't blind that much so can't read that false tracking number.

Hi Tanuki!

Thank you for your feedback. Regarding your concern, we are not able to track your order beforehand because it is the seller who uploads the tracking number and they are required to for your order not to be canceled. And there is a timeframe for the tracking numbers to be updated online. You are also given a notification for this on where to track your order. You may communicate with the seller first if you have problems with the tracking so they can check this with the courier.

If the tracking number does not work and is already beyond the timeframe, that would be the time you can open a dispute to request for a refund or reshipment. And within this period, your payment is safe and is still handled by DHgate until this is resolved.

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]

Great products and Customer Service
October 7, 2016

DHgate Customer Service has been very responsive when I have had issues, though I still recommend people first contact the vendors. Most are very responsive. Still, DHgate has procedures through which buyers can present the issues to be resolved and the people are very friendly.

One suggestion for communications is that you do not use nuanced language, as the computer translation may be confusing. I simply state the issue and offer a resolution, which the system offers.

LOVE IT!
October 5, 2016

Have been very pleased with every order from DH Gate! The shipping is usually remarkably fast and the follow up from each vendor has been great. I will be doing a lot of holiday shopping from DHgate, getting excellent gifts at even better prices.

Just plan for the shipping dates, and you will have a great experience. The orders will usually come will ahead of schedule, but if you do not count on that happening, you will not be disappointed.

If I could give them a zero I would, but I can't so they get a 1. I ordered a dress from them in august of 2015, I have never recieved my dress. I needed it for my brothers wedding I was the maid of honor, in the end I had to wear a black dress from my closet. I even put a note on my order I need this dress asap it is for a wedding in october. I ordered the dress 2 months ahead of time knowing shipping would take a while. I never recieved the dress before the wedding, I wore what I had and the bride was not happy. I got over that and thought I will use the dress for christmas pictures when it arrives. It has now been over a year and I still have not received my product. I have attempted to dispute the matter, in a kind way by emails, but I have not received my product or my money back. They sent me several emails asking me to reveiw the product in which I replied I can not reveiw a product I have never received. They have not attempted to fix the problem, and this is not the only item I have not received, there were two more items which never arrived. I have ask for a refund, and I have ask for my items. I have been beyond patient and polite. Do not order from this website, some orders may be fantastic but others you may never see.

Hi Miranda,

We are sorry to hear about your experience. We checked your order and this was already closed since 2016-02-28 08:17 and no disputes were filed formally on our system. The tracking number does not generate any shipping information in the tracking site. For your future reference, please always make sure to file a dispute for orders which you do not receive so that we can immediately assist you in resolving the issue. To set proper expectations, we can no longer handle this issue since this is already out of the Scopes of our Aftersale Service. Please send a new message to your seller and ask them to leave you a message stating "I agree to give you a refund of $***". Once your seller have indicated this, please contact us back and we will have this arranged for you.

We appreciate your trust in DHgate.com, and we will do our best to give you the utmost service you deserve. 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 an email to [email protected].

Regards,
Sil
