Awesome.
July 11, 2017

Took a gamble a few months ago and it couldn't have been more perfect. I've purchased many items from DHGate ever since the first purchase. Currently a D3 member and couldn't be happier.

Best out there
July 11, 2017

Huge amount of products, competitive prices and (usually) free shipping. There are also offers and coupons if you buy in bulk.

Cheap Stuff
July 11, 2017

Found some good cheap things I wanted but didn't have the budget for from Amazon. Waited a while for some items to be received, but to be expected coming from another part of the world.

I used to buy stuff on AE etc. But then found out DHGate. DHGate was cheaper, is user friendly and I'm using it now as my default site to buy gadgets and other stuff from China, Korea etc. Good site to take a look at, the delivering time is worth it!

Asimmetric knife
July 10, 2017

Not the first time I order on DHgate and I was satisfied with all the orders. Sellers will ship very quickly, deliver goods also very quickly. This time I ordered the knife asymmetrical. Workmanship is good. The knife is on the bearings, so the knife blade opens and closes very easily. The knife is very sharp, the blade is long, it's a pleasure to use this knife.

Great seller and support team
July 10, 2017
Updated review

I had a very good experience using the dhgate website, the seller sent me another order since mine was misplaced by the post office.
The order arrived in perfect condition and did not take so long, the other order unfortunately was lost along the way, but the vendodor kept his word and sent another one the instant I informed him what had happened.
The site is very good in terms of guarantee and protection to the client, always solve my problems and take my doubts, I am very grateful the support team.

My favorite site
July 10, 2017
Previous review

DHgate is my favorite site in the entire world! I bought two american football jerseys in the site and they are fantastics!
Perfect size and description very well made, the seller sent super fast, it was my first purchase with the seller, I do not regret! The freight was free, the material is very resistant, one of my favorite purchases on the site!
The seller has a very good reputation on the site, and he deserves to have been an honest and fast seller! The product was on sale, I should have bought more. Dhgate continues to do incredible work by offering good products at a discount and with free shipping.

There is no reason to doubt that dhgate is a reliable website. Their payment works on the escrow system, meaning sellers will not be paid until you receive your item in working condition. Quality could be questionable on some products, so do your research and read other reviews because there is good stuff on there.

He comprado recientemente una camiseta, y todo perfecto. El envío a través de DHL y todo muy rápido. ¡Y sin aduanas! Aparte la calidad de la camiseta AAA+. Muy satisfecho con mi compra y volvería a comprar muchas más. El próximo será de una zapatillas. ¡Ya os comentaré como me ha ido!

It is July still waiting
July 9, 2017
Updated review

DHgate no longer talking to me with cc company getting involved. Also, you will notice they did not make any comment on my last review. Not so helpful now which should tell you something. They should do the right thing and give me my refund!

So here it is several months later and I have to say we won! We waited them out and received a refund from CitiBank.

Don't give up do not let the bastards win! And very important and why we won is at our Post Office every piece of mail gets photographed If you have an issue contact your local Postal Authority.

Well we filed the mediation waited the 7 days as required by DHgate and still get nowhere. We also filed right away from the beginning a dispute with the credit card company. The good news is that our overwhelming evidence especially the letter from the Post Master from our town where an actual photo of the envelope that was delivered was obtained was enough for our credit card company to step in. Now they will fight it out with DHgate. After this experience I would never order from this company again. There are other sources out there with good reputations for getting goods from China. DHgate needs to do the right thing and refund the money their seller is a crook who knew exactly what he was doing.

DHgate mediation here I go
July 3, 2017
Previous review

Well after day 5 I now have gone to mediation. Sent my evidence in. Oh by the way you can contact your local post office to get a picture of a package from China with the tracking info if it will help your case. I needed proof that seller sent envelope not box and the label he sent was a forgery. When I hit mediation button you have to pick reason for dispute but none of the choices fit my claim which makes me nervous. I had to pick item as not described but no choice for quantity missing so customer service tells me to pick damaged item. But first they played dumb asking what my choices are? Customer Service should know that already? I am truly hoping that I will receive a refund in this matter so I can go back and correct all my reviews to read totally satisfied.

I wish I had great news to add to this review but here is the current situation: After DH Gate refusing to cancel my order and allowing the seller to ship the order DH supplied me with the tracking number you can see in their reply. Well the package did show up today and I was extremely surprised the seller sent 1 piece not 250 as ordered. I have filed a refund request again and have to wait 5 more days so the seller has a chance to reply to them. I asked why when it is evident I am getting the royal screw job do I have to wait but the seller apparently has all the cards in his deck and know how to play the game.

Date of experience: June 12, 2017

Placed an order for toys to be shipped DHL or FEDEX, was informed by the supplier he cannot ship the items, then he offered different product, we refuse, ask to cancel order several times Supplier refuses refund and ships anyway this time by epacket giving us a tracking nr. That does not exsist. LW299159705CN Customer service was supposed to step in and stop this but they are no help we have contacted them 5 times by live chat it is always:" just be patient we will get refund". Now we have no idea if shipped or not and no idea what the supplier even sent because he refuses to send pictures or communicate with us.
