Ruined Wedding
May 20, 2019

Bought flower stands for our wedding. They took 10 weeks to arrive, instead of the 3-4 advertised. The stands were dented, bent, and scratched beyond repair. They were also mustard colored instead of gold. After 3 weeks of arguing through 28 broken-English messages, 35 photos, and 3 videos we got half our money back. Stay far away. This site is a scam

There is serious false advertisement with their listings. Customer service gives you the run around when you want to receive a refund. They had me take photos, videos and send emails. They do this because they want you to miss the refund time frame. You are left with an unwanted purchase and they can care less because they are based in China.

I ordered a gallon through DHgate and got a confirmation number for my order after it was placed. I never received my order. Getting in touch with them was impossible and very stressful. I have never had an experience like this online with any purchase. I think this site should be investigated and at the very least people should be aware they will not get their merchandise.

WORST WIG EVER
May 15, 2019

I received 5/13/19 the WORST wig. I paid $138 which included an extra amount for increase density from 130d to 150d. It wasn't provided. TRACKS were down with hair attached, the cap size and color was incorrect. I contacted Dhgate and the seller An-amer IMMEDIATELY. Neither returned email or messages on the website. THIS WIG WAS FOR MY DAUGHTER'S GRADUATION - age 14. I am a first time customer of Dhgate and never have been cheated and deceived purchasing wigs online until now.

GENERIC PROM DRESS
May 13, 2019

ORDER#*******006. I ordered thus dress out faith not knowing when the dress arrived to my phone it would be the total opposite. I contacted the seller so many times and never reached a resolution. I had to go and purchase another dress this is a generic version of the dress I ordered. It looks like they took a picture from the Internet and tried to make the same dress and the dress was made the total opposite. The color of the dress is different, i sleeve is longer than the other. EtcThe seller has tried to get my debit card # to and my paypal that is very unprpfessional. Please assist me with getting all my money back before we be in small claims court.

Tried DHgate for the first time as I was just opening a Shopify store. Excited by their cheaper prices, I jumped right in. I spend 1200. 00 for a facial mister, paid with it with my credit card. The amount was taken from my credit card, only then to be asked to verify the payment. Fine, i did that. They requested, the front and back of my card (with numbers blurred out) a copy of my bank statement, proof of credit card payment... they asked for everything but the shirt off my back. I sent it anyway. Only to have my order sitting in "verification mode" for a week. Trying to reach head office is like pulling teeth. The online customer service reps are quite good, i must admit. Very helpful. Unfortunately, the folks they report to, are not. I'd get different stories all the time. I got emails telling me that my payment was approved, only for the rep to tell me it's not. Eventually, after about a month of back and forth, I requested a refund. Again, the same run around. Took over 20 online chats with a representative until i finally received my payment back today. Highly unprofessional. I will never use them again, and highly suggest you don't either.

Tried communicating thru their chat, their responses had nothing to do with my questions and read like a 7year old wrote them. They don't provide a secure payment method as well.

BUYER BEWARE!
May 10, 2019

I ordered a custom made outfit for an upcoming wedding. When I received the outfit the top and jacket were 5 inches too small! I opened a dispute and they told me to ship it back. When I checked into the shipping, it would have cost me over $50 just to ship it back! The shipping should have been paid by them! It was THEIR MISTAKE! NEVER BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!

THIEVES!
May 7, 2019

Merchant didn't ship what I ordered, what was plainly printed on the order. He then claimed I told him to ship something else. The "something else" was of pathetic quality, not a replica. I sent pictures of it to their "Dispute" service, was assured they thought it was exactly what I ordered. They paid him. Ever seen a watch with a round piece of metal sticking way-up?

THEY'RE THIEVES. TAKE MY ADVICE, DON'T EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM!

Be aware!
May 6, 2019

Bought a backpack for $66. Seller did not ship, i requested a refund, seller provide invalid tracking number. I opened a dispute, seller provide tracking number. After 2 months a received parcel, Suspicious parcel because weight less than on once. I opened little package and there was a blue paper inside only. Total scammed, stay away from sellers who have little reviews and transactions.

Its OK
April 29, 2019

I bought some pet toys on there, well, maybe I chose the wrong supplier, the quality is not so good... Delivery is quick, price is affordable. But there are many suppliers, need some time to find a good one. This site is OK, maybe will try again.

The item i ordered was not complete and when i claimed for the missing parts a long mailing started and DH did not do anything to help me.

I know the temptation of cheap name brand merchandise is a lot but trust me, it's not worth it. These people took me money and mailed my product to the wrong state! Getting customer service is impossible and now I am out of my money and no product! If you want to be scammed then send them your money but don't say you weren't warned!

For future buyers, Do not buy on this site. I am new to the site and one seller sent me garbage Customer support was trying to favor the DISHONEST seller by asking and requiring so many things. They will do just anything to protect the scammer.

DH Gate does protect scammers and promotes Fraudulent practices by their sellers.

Thanks God, my bank provides purchase protection because you can't expect DH Gate to do absolutely nothing to protect buyers.

DH Gate is a scammers heaven

SCAM!
April 19, 2019

SCAM! Do not waste your time. Sent to wrong state via DHL. Seller is not responsive. On-line dispute system just takes you in circles and wont open a claim for you and won't refund your money. Never received my money back. Complete FRAUD!
