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.

So far I love it.
October 1, 2016

I am still new on DHgate compare to other shopping sites I purchased items from. Yet I have managed to get over 274+ USD items, successful deliveries. Within 5-25 days average delivery time. That's very fast if you are in Maldives.

October 2, 2016

I am only giving a 3 stars since I am having a major issue with one of the sellers and not getting any response back. Most of the time I have gotten my shipments very fast and they have turned out great however this one is making me think twice about purchasing anything else.

Hopefully this is something they can fix when it comes to their sellers.

Bought a few things from here so far and always recieved items very quickly and for about half if not a third the price I can get it here, always chose sellers with good feedback scores (just like other websites) and havent had one problem, would recommend to anyone just make sure you find good sellers to buy from.

The Future is with DHgate!
October 2, 2016

Have been using this e-market just for a year and have had no trouble so far. A promising service, reliable customer support, and what is more important, it serves for the entire world. Even for the countries like Tajikistan with pure postal services, deadend transport system, high tariffs and so on, deliveries are mostly prompt. Did not have a chance to use it from the West, but no doubt, this market will serve even better! Good job, folks!

VERY DISAPPOINTED!
September 30, 2016

This is my second time ordering from them. Both times I ordered a smartphone (Note3 and Note5). The first phone was GREAT! This time not so much. The speaker doesn't work and I have requested a REFUND or REPLACEMENT but I never recieved either. Thats $80 down the drain. NEVER AGAIN!

Hi Shay!

We checked order 242411787 and we can see that you have completed the order already even if you still have complaints with it. The payment has already been released to the seller.

If you wish to request for a refund or replacement, you need to open an after-sale dispute. Please use a computer for you to successfully submit the dispute and provide the necessary evidences.

Here's how to open the dispute:

1) Log-in to your DHgate account. Click "My DHgate" on the upper right corner.
2) Click "Completed".
3) Find the order number.
4) Click "Open an After Sale Dipsute".

Get what you need, cheaper!
September 29, 2016

I use this site for ordering all kinds of things, from make-up to art supplies, and clothing. Typically it takes less then 2 weeks to arrive through Epacket - cant beat DHGate, I use them over Alibaba every time!

One Stop Shop
September 29, 2016

DHGate is a great, easy to use website or app that lets you buy pretty much anything from suppliers in China. The site is well categorised and I have found some high quality products at prices far below those in UK shops. I have yet to be disappointed by a purchase.

Been Good For Me
September 28, 2016

I have been using DHGate for a couple of years now and it has been mostly a rewarding experience. The prices of vendors are generally lower than on Alixpress (at least for e-cigarette supplies) and I have found a few vendors that I have made many repeat orders from. Their payment system protects you from outright scams which is a plus.
