“Highly recommended for sports apparel”

Elmer H.
7/5/17

I recommend buying their replica soccer jerseys; they have AAA quality shirts (modern and retro). They also have an extensive shirt collection for baseball, basketball, rugby, etc. and best of all they can even print your name on the jersey. They prices are unbeatable; for instance some soccer websites selling AAA replicas charge double or more than DHgate. The shipping cost is usually very low or even free, but you would have to wait 1 month for it.

“Scam do not use dhgate”

Ken H.
6/29/24

Never use dhgate absolute scam Orders *******9380 and order *******1385 from a company kenh06 scam is they indicate it is sent by Yanwen tracking no supplied but the tracking detailed are false. I have had packages used by this company so know a property tracking steps. Do not use dhgate go to a company like Ebay which you can see clearly company history. Dhgate hold your money for a couple of months then refund you, they encourage crap companies it's in their interest

Note the dozens of 5 star positive short reviews... all posted on May 5th.

Very clearly DHgate is soliciting positive reviews to drown out all the legitimate negatives.

This is basically how DHgate operates - by misleading buyers and deceptive descriptions.

Tip for consumers:
Don't believe their buyer protection nor guarantees - DHgate will not back you up if there's a problem (and you will run into problems). Dispute with your credit card instead.

I bought a set of Damascus steel kitchen knives and they arrived within a week to UK. The quality is top notch and they are exactly as described. A fraction of the cost elsewhere. Will be using DHgate regularly. Recommended

I've had nothing but good shopping experiences with DHGate. Items take a while to arrive but that is expected when shipping goods from China to the US. Just be aware of the ratings and reviews of different sellers and items.

I am satisfied with my order as the item I ordered is of very good quality. There was a very slow delivery time. It took twenty-three days to arrive. I would have given 5 stars if the delivery was faster.

Hi Zoooowwwweeee,

Thanks for your feedback. Delivery time depends on the courier that you've selected upon making a purchase. We suggest that you use express couriers such as DHL, UPS or FedEx if you need the items fast.

Fraud! I never received the merchandise and my credit card was charged. It has now been 30 days and I want my money back. This is false advertising if you solicit potential customers and provide this type of service.

Please inform me how I can get my money back.

I ordered two dresses from this company. Both dresses had many pictures on the DH Gate website, so I could see how it was supposed to look like. But when I received the items, they looked completely different: neither color, nor style, nor fabric texture where identical with what was pictured. The fabric as well as the style were so bad that I cannot wear these dresses.

I contacted both of the sellers as well as DH Gate for a refund. Both sellers refused to issue a refund though. When this happens, DH Gate steps into what they call "arbitration". They decided to give me a partial refund on one of the dresses and turned down the refund for the second dress completely.

I paid more than $200 for dresses that I can never wear.

Hi K. T.! This is Honey from DHgate Customer Service. We do understand that you are not happy with the order you received because of the quality. I have checked your order in here and I can see that your case was already closed. If you are not satisfied with the partial refund, we can still make an appeal of the dispute for this order so that we can get this resolved or sorted out. We will be sending a report to our Resolutions Team about this so that they will be aware of your concern. Thank you for letting us know about it and Have a great day!

I was skeptical at first ordering from overseas. After receiving my first order I purchased my second item and was extremely happy both times. I would defiantly recommend for anyone looking to save a few bucks and get great products!

We purchase on DHgate for our business a few times per month in bulk. The website is easy to use with good sellers, we are never disappointed and if there are any problems DGhate staff sorts it out. Highly recommend DHgate for a good buying experience.

Good overall experience with all sellers. Goods and prices clearly stated. Goods arrived earlier than stated and where the goods were damaged in shipping, informed DHGate who helped to resolve the situation very quickly. Now just waiting for the replacement.

I order 2 swimsuits and after the purchase my confirmation stated it would take 7 to 12 days to get items. About 18 days later I received my product. I was okay with the items being later than usual but when they got her both 2x's fit like a medium. I put in a claim for both orders, one was denied and refused to be taking back. The second order, sent me an email stating that they had approved my claim and was sending me a new swim suit. They did not verify the size I needed, they shipped another swimsuit without speaking to me. I tried contacting customer service, they told me to leave message with seller, seller never responded and now product is on the way here. I still have the other item and I dont know whether to keep it or send back. Due to the lack of communication with me regarding my product and claim I will not be ordering anything else from this company.

I have ordered my wedding dress when ordering it said 5-15 days it has been close to 30 days with it still in processing left a message on the site with no response and no way to contact this company took my money but no dress as of yet

Thumbnail of user sopportc
DHgate C. – DHgate Rep

Hi Zjaron,

We checked here and the 15 business days is the processing time needed by the seller to prepare the item after your payment is confirmed and this is different from the shipping time. The shipping time refers to the time needed by the courier to deliver the item to your location. We found here and you chose DHL which takes 2-7 days according to the tracking site. The merchant will ship the item on or before 2017-10-24, once this order is shipped, we'll notify you for the tracking number immediately.

Please be sure to check the processing and shipping time for your future reference for you to be properly guided, these information can be found in the item page.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate in chatting with us by clicking on Online Chat from our Customer Service page: www.dhgate.com/contact/contactUs.do

I often place orders with DHgate, so when i get an enquiry with no order number, i can't tell what it's about. This message from DHgate says:
"For order $order_number$, we saw that you have clicked..."

Huh? That's the third time that's happened in a month!

Hi Grant,

Thanks for reaching out. The order number is also called the "PO#" which can be found on your DHgate account. We need the order numbers to check the specific status and details of each order and when our system sends you notifications about your orders, the order number is usually written as the subject.

If you have any other questions, 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 customer-support@dhgate.com.

These people have no shame in taking your money and giving you rubbish. They make their millions from well planned and executed rip-offs. If you buy from China expect to get cheated. If you don't get cheated you are one of the very lucky few. They do send some people what they ask for to get good reviews, but these are usually low value orders. If your order is of high value there is a good chance you will be very disappointed with what you receive.

Hi Peter,

We are sorry for the experience you had with your order. At the same time, we always encourage our buyers to check on the item reviews, seller reviews and rating. This is for your reference, and you will also be able to check on other buyer's reviews on the item you are purchasing, and the seller's transactions as well.

We've also checked on your order and we noticed that you have already opened a dispute for your order. It is good that you have already done so, since it is the best way to resolve this.

If the problem is not resolved through direct communication between you and seller, or if you don't get a response from the seller, you may request for DHgate Mediation after 5 days that you have clicked on "Return & Refund" link and then we will assign a person from Resolution Center to take care of your case.

I've ordered from over a dozen vendors represented by DHGate. As an escrow agent, DHGate insures that I have recourse if a vendor doesn't perform. I suppose this makes the vendors anxious to provide good service, as they always have for my orders. Through DHGate, I've been able to find items at very reasonable prices that otherwise were far too expensive, or simply not available.

I will not order from them again. Accessed live chat to find my order today. I waited at least an hour to get connected, then the agent could not even tell me when my package (that I ordered 2 weeks ago!) would arrive. Only thing they could say was that it had arrived in the US. I feel scammed.

Ordered camera lens, good price, but instead got a sleeping mask. The merchant sent me 4 different tracking numbers, one of which supposedly a gift item (the silly mask), it was a rather poor joke. I got my money back but what a waster of time, especially this was for my partner's birthday gift.
