“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

Here's what they just replied after 9 months of chasing. I just put review on goggle and FB, see how quickly they react

Hi Shawn,

We would like to set proper expectations that this is already beyond our after-sale policy. For now, we can have our seller team contact the seller so they can be urged to respond but in the case that you are still not able to reach an agreement, we cannot handle this anymore.

I ordered 10.5 size shoes using their sizing chart. They sent me two pair of US size 9 shoes. Rather than chop my toes off to wear them I foolishly tried to ask for a replace or refund. Not happening. They want ME to pay to shp back the shoes THEY screwed the order up on. I already spent $100 and they want me to spend more? They actually suggested I buy a few extra pairs in case they get seized by customs -wow. This site is a scam run by people who know absolutely nothing about customer service

Scammers! I ordered a lithium ion battery for an electric bike. Cost me almost $400. I received it in about two weeks but it was defective. I contacted DHgate at least 100 times. They told me to work it out with the seller, but the seller ripped me off and refuses to ship a new battery or to refund my money. Then when I kept corresponding with them (for over four months) their answer was always just "thank you very much friend". You're better off to do business with an American company. Buying from DHgate is like throwing your money in a hole.

I placed an order in May. It's October, never arrived. They gave me bogus tracking #; s. Sent me messages to "see how I like my purchase" that never arrived. I've tried repeatedly to reach them by phone, email, thru their website, no response. Anyone know a secret way to reach them? It's not a lot of money, i just have this thing about being ripped off! I'm including my latest email from them telling me time has expired. And they still don't respond to me!?

Hey #DHgate, a very unsatisfied customer here. For those who are considering purchasing via DHgate. Please be careful, totally incompetent customer service, which is unable to help you if something goes wrong. My experience - once you receive a totally different product than what was ordered, all you gonna get is apology and empathy phrases. They will recommend you to dispute with the seller who will be blaming the post office for packing the wrong product and after you involve DHgate to mediate, that would reject due to insufficient evidence. I ordered one product (Xiaomi Mi TV stick), and I received a totally different kind of product (wifi wall switch) for half of the price of the product I ordered. Please do not hazard with your money and save yourself from disappointment, incompetence, and waste of time. Do not take just my word for it, I encourage you to check this company on review platforms.

DHgate vendors ship products directly from China and it takes weeks to receive their products. I contacted them 8 weeks after I placed an order, and was told that it's coming soon. About 3 weeks later I got an empty envelop (instead of a package) and my order was updated to Delivered. I've been trying to get a refund and the DHgate customer services reps do not want to deal with it. They are asking me to contact a seller on their site and ask them why they cheated. Very disappointing experience. Below is a picture of a package (still unopened) that was supposed to have a backpack.

Tip for consumers:
stay away

It's not about the money it's about getting something you paid for. Took them 6 months and their idea of a complaint was to show item as received and transaction complete. I now believe the product never existed and the whole site is a scam for a communist country why do they have so many billionaires their flag should be brown.

Don't waste your money. I ordered 1,000 mesh bags for my soap business and months later I get this huge bag of bags, they fell apart, were not sewn together, no strings, just garbage, I accused them of accidentally sending me the reject pile. NO refunds, no returns, no matter what they tell you upfront, do not believe them.

Ordered a camouflage NFL jersey. Came with right player, wrong team. I immediately and repeatedly tried to get a correction. Basically I was told they can't intervene with that completed sale. Well, I can intervene with their future sales. Don't expect a correction, refund, or even an apology. Bad customer service? No. NO customer service!

Tip for consumers:
Usually good products at great prices, but this was the first problem—and in no way was it corrected.

Haven’t worn item because I keep trying to get the proper item. Luxury, not necessity.

Dhgate store refuses to give me a full refund after waiting over two months for my oder to get shipped. My oder has been in "awaiting shipment" for the past two months! Almost three months has past that I posted my order. This company was no customer service line, you only can send messages to the seller, which they don't ever respond... This is a bad operation business- stay away from this!

I have bought 2 items on this site and would highly discourage anyone from wasting your time and money. I disputed the quality of the item and went to DH gate disputing. They decided that I could get a full refund if I returned the item. Here's the catch...in order to get by $85 refund it would cost me $66 to send the item back to China via the post office. Such a scam! Honestly, do not waste your efforts on the DHgate site. The quality of merchandise is horrible. Nothing like the pictures on the website. They really should be shut down.

Tip for consumers:
You can get a refund but you have to ship it back to China for $66. Insane!

We ordered 2 items that were flagged at customs leaving China, they were returned to sender but the shipper charged us for them anyway. After having no luck getting a refund from the shipper I filed a dispute with our credit card company. The shipper provided false tracking information and would not return our money. Luckily I had saved the shipping/tracking info clearly showing the package was returned to Wuhan China so after months of waiting we finally received a credit from our credit card company, we never received anything from the seller. In our experience they are a scam.

Tip for consumers:
They have poor communication.

A good inexpensive voice recorder in retail packaging and a full range of accessories. Records in mono with three levels of quality. Voice activation works fine. The noise level is low.

The Start and stop buttons for timer on the watch do not work. Seller continues to sell broken watches to consumers and DHgate platform is no help in getting a refund as it is a sellers favor platform. Seller offered a refund of.01, The seller and DHgate should be ashamed of bad business practices. The seller will still be able to con consumers in buying broken items and DHgate mediation will continue to be in the best interest of the seller. We are appalled that it does not matter what evidence we provide DHgate, as the seller will still make a profit selling broken items on the DHgate platform.

Tip for consumers:
*******STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE******** I should have never purchase from this site, as they will not help if you with damaged or items that are not as described. It is a sellers platform not a buyers platform, so the seller will always win and make a profit even after their so call mediation. *******STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE********

I ordered from DH Gate over a month ago. They took my money without setting up an account, but when they failed to ship my order also failed to make it easy to inquire what's going on. There is no number to call (suspicious) and in order to talk to their chat-bot to voice your complaint, they force you to set up an account. All I'm trying to do is get the product I ordered, or my money refunded... but it seems like this site is designed to take your money as quickly as possible, then force you to jump through hoops after they cheat you. Be warned.

***WARNING*** DHGate is a complete scam! I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with their terrible service. I ordered two pairs of shoes, and they sent me the wrong size and style (see photo). When I tried to return them, I discovered that the seller had closed their store. I escalated the issue to the DHGate Resolution Center, but they blatantly ignored my request for a full refund and instead gave me a measly $60, which is an insult to injury. I spent $208.58 US on two pairs of shoes that I despise and can't wear, and they won't even give me a full refund. This is completely unacceptable! DHGate is a disgraceful company that has no respect for their customers. They are a bunch of crooks who should be ashamed of themselves!

I ordered a t-shirt for my son, $17.50. Waited 3 weeks for a pair of ladies stocking from China. The website has "reviews" that are most likely fake. It is impossible to leave a review for the seller who ripped us off. It is also impossible to report this to DH Gate as their buttons to send feedback conveniently do not work. They are probably making a lot of money off of this scam.

Anyone who wants to order from this site, don't do it. Its a scam. They robbed me of my money. I bought merchandise from them since june of 2021 and its almost 2 months and i haven't yet to receive ANYTHING. The tracking numbers are wrong and provide the wrong information, and the suppliers do not explain in efficiency how long the package will take. They are thieves and they have yet to give me my money back. This was a VERY bad experienced that ruined my whole wedding. I was been promised my things would come WAY earlier.

This place is a complete rip off. The sellers do not turn on their emails. The website is a maze that no one can figure out. If you email with customer service they do nothing. I ordered a jacket in Large and they put a false tag on a small and sent it to me and I tried to open a dispute, which is impossible. Went on live chat and have never heard back. I just want to return jacket and apparently that is going to be impossible. Such a cheat. Pay the extra $ and go to eBay or Amazon.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. DH GATE is a scam. Never buy from "beverm". They really scammed me and I am a pretty savvy shopper. They stuck a Large size sticker over the real Small sized jacket. They would not help me to return or refund.

Hi Mary-Catherine!

We are sorry for the experience you had with your order. We looked into your order number and we noticed that the payment has already been released to the seller.

The best way for this to be sorted out is for you to continue to communicate with the seller. That way, you can reach an agreement with them.If you want your order to be refunded, you can contact your seller and if they agree on a refund, please ask them to leave a message for you saying "I agree in giving you a refund of $****." Once done, you can then send us a screenshot of the agreement you had so we can facilitate your refund. This is another way to have a refund without a dispute.

Moving forward, if you receive an item which was not as ordered, we would encourage you to contact us right away so that we can be able to assist you further in getting a refund or replacement of the item.

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.

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.

They refuse to ship unless you pay more, claiming an error in price. I have placed 9 orders in the last 5 weeks. 4 of these sellers asked for more money after I paid and refused to ship. Dhgate does nothing for you. I eventually got a refund on 3, still waiting for 4. The fact remains. These people get you in with the prices and then tell you it was incorrect and want more money or they won't ship. FRAUD!

DO NOT SHOP HERE. It really doesn't get any worse than this place. Ordered 10 spot lights for my store, received a fake tracking number, when i complained the seller sent me an empty envelope. 3 months later still no refund €200 down the drain. Contacted DHgate so many times and just been giving the Run around. If you want to get back at this company google "dhgate" and click on there yellow Add as they get charged every time you click on it.
