Fraudulent vendor! Be aware!
November 26, 2018
Updated review

Don't buy from this site it is fraudulent! After my review they contacted me once with the request of my log-in email and that would be it. What a fraught! But trust me Dhgate- my credit card will get you! I have all your emails and your promises!

Don't get fooled it is China and you are here! Hello, I ordered a dress and a suite for my daughter's weeding in July. All came wrong size and colour. I was constantly nagged by DHgate to keep it for half price ( why would I, wrong size!), than I was told to send it back with tracking and promised to be reambarased for shipping and the items! It is November and I have not seen the money yet. My credit card took care of the amount for the dress and the suite, but I am waiting for the shipping money( for 2 items over $200 with tracking). They just delay the answers call you dear friend and count on you giving up. My credit card is looking into shipping and since I have all the emails and the prove they are not reliable company I hope I will get my money back. Thanks
Ewa

Don't Bother!
November 26, 2018

I ordered a designer style handbag which arrived after 4 weeks creased and really cheap looking. I can't get any advice from the site and it is confusing to say the least to try to even email them.
I could have bought it for 10 euros on a Spanish beach... never again. I have learnt my lesson.

Dyson airwrp
November 18, 2018

Something is not right with this site. I looked at Dyson Airwrap that a price of $296.00. I was leary of site and read how many things on this site were knockoffs, so I did not order, especially after reading other reviews. As I continue to search this item, DHgate has riaised the price from $296.00 to $519.00. So happy I did not order from this site.

Defective items
November 17, 2018

I ordered 300 sets of 4 of a silicone kitchen product. Every piece (1200 in all) are defective. There are black spots on several and silicone is hanging from the seams of all of the pieces. I was told to send photos which I did. I was offered 30.00 of my 741.00 and told by the manufacturer to sell at a discount. These are not sellable and I don't sell factory thirds. I filed a claim with DHgate and was told to send a video and had 2 days. They sent notice on Friday. Sent the video, they said they never received. Sent again via drop box, again they didn't receive. Got an e-mail this morning saying I would get 200.00 and arbitration is closed. Not happy with them and I would be very leery of placing an order, If you have a problem you are stuck with the product. We'll see what they reply next... order number *******. Some of the photos below.

Buyer Beware of DHGate
November 9, 2018

Seller mseven delivered a gold tone watch when I ordered a two tone watch. Seller then refused to take it back or refund my money. I requested DHGate to intercede and they sided with the seller and offered me a coupon to order something else even thought I don't want anything else! They agreed I got the wrong color but refused to issue a refund. I can only conclude they just want their commission and have no interest in protecting their customers when their sellers drop the ball. Shameful and cheap!

I had an issue with a seller called hongzhuang. I bought a shoes and came with no conditions to use. I tried so many times negotiate with the seller and according to him, was sending an other one. He gave me a tracking number for other address and I never received the product. I' in contact with DHgate for more than one week without a solution. The company does not look responsible for the seller

They sell fake products while claim the products are authentic! I ordered a pair of Air jordan 5 wings shoes, the pair has strong smell, it must use some kind of fake industrial glue. I didn't notice DHgate is a China wholesale marketplace, thought it's a US website. Don't buy anything so call "authentic" from this website!

Shipping I will admit for me is reasonable. I live in Canada and usually shipping is about 2-3 weeks, but the items I receive are terrible. I had ordered a wallet for $70 Canadian dollars because the description said it was genuine leather, and when I got the wallet I'm not too sure what it was made out of but it was not leather. When I contacted the seller about the issue he told me to send it back and was arguing with me, I went to the post office and they told me it would cost me $130 dollars just to ship this item back. Upon opening the package, there was a white powder on the inside that actually made me break out into a rash. Still not sure what it was but its very scary and extremely unsanitary. I did contact Dhgate and they did give me a full refund, but after that experience I will no longer be using this website.

Do Not Use This Company
November 5, 2018

Ordered an item on June 30 2018. As of today, November 5 2018 I still have not received the item. In communicating with the company, I was told the item was returned to them. I requested a refund and have heard nothing. This place is a rip off.

I purchased a G5 massage tool for my massage practice. I used it 2 times before it started malfunctioning. I contacted DHgate who put me in touch with he seller, who gave me a work around where I had to open the product and adjust the circuit board. That worked for a short time and then messed up again. I did this 3 or 4 times. Then I contacted the seller back and they sent me a new circuit board, on which the connectors didn't match. Their communication through all of this was very slow. Now they won't even respond. I have contacted DHgate many times through out this process and all they tell me is that my order is closed so its out of their hands, but they will contact the seller. Which has done nothing. It was a waste of money and a huge pain. I will never use DHgate again and will tell all of my fellow massage therapists and students the same. This has been an unprofessional experience. There is a lack of integrity and this feels like a huge scam.

I ordered a pink high low dress for my daughter. It was not the same shade of pinks as pictured-it was ugly peto-pink. It had a large hideous leaf pattern to the lace rather than the nice delicate floral lace that was pictured. And because I took longer than 7 days to complain, I was denied a refund. Vendor was listed as Click_Me. Will never order from there again.

This is a JOKE
November 1, 2018

DO NOT ORDER VANELYN COSMETICS! Completely unprofessional! I originally ordered 5- 35 eyeshadow palettes that were dupes for Morphe. I recieved only 3 in the mail where 2 of them were the same. Ontop of that they were not even close to what was advertised. I swatched them and they were not pigmented at all. So disappointed that DH Gate is supporting this seller. This is a scam!

Ripped off by an apprendice(student intern)
October 19, 2018
Previous review

370917308 I recently made an order for wedding dress in early sept. Not only did seller change deadline for shipping three times: 19. 09. 18,29. 09. 18 then 08. 10. 18; I complained abt these several times but specifically indicated the dress I wanted. Shipment was set to arrive on Monday 15th Oct, it was delivered Tuesday 16th via fedex... When I saw dress was broken and upset, I was ripped off, however, attempted to agree with seller attempted everything but sellers ultimate proposal is to refund me a $100.00 for a dress I paid 214.67, with excuse that he is intern and will loose job, how is it my fault they use an apprendice for job, thus whole procedure is long and uncalled for... Im so disappointed, I need my money to get another dress, I was to have pre wedding pictures on sunday 21, but this has to change... I ordered from other sellersg who were okey, but ture lover just made you loose a valuable customer. He also submited value claim of $40, now if he registers that dress cost 40, why should i have to pay more if i nva ordered, why should i pay shipping when he had an intern screw up order. Please help

Scammed / Money stolen
October 24, 2018

I ordered a replica designer purse and the seller told me it wasn't in stock then said they were sending me a brooch instead. Said they would refund me and laughed in the chat conversation. I have emailed DHGate customer service (*******@DHgate.com) and my emails bounce back and the live chat doesn't work either.

Great site
October 19, 2018

I have been a loyal customer of dhgate now for a year I admit that not every thing I have ordered ive been 100% happy about but an easy 85% every thing has turned up in 1 to 3 weeks i believe that some of these negative comments are made by people that have no patience and write a review just because it's been 2 weeks and there angry before the item turns up. This site is for people that can't afford the rich luxurys of life but want the replica to make them feel good. Just look at what you want to buy study it there's lots out there and message the seller any questions you have they will reply and give you honesty. I like this site and will continue to use it and trust in it. I see it as a way of giving back to the country the western life used to make there products at cheap prices them sell them for top prices. This country deserves the credit for making 90% of luxury items in the first place
