“Save on the deals.”

Plastar P.
4/2/24

I often visit this website to look for some deals on the products. They frequently give out juicy deals in the flash deals section. And by the way I don't know if it's true that the majority of their deliveries happen in less than 72 hours, but my experience was exactly like that.

Top Critical Review

“Website should not exist”

Sam R.
4/5/24

I bought an product there that was so different from the basic description itself. I tried to open a ticket to return and get a refund and the site basically refused, saying it needs to be marked received and 10 days have to pass before I can initiate a complaint. I ALREADY MARKED IT RECEIVED! I reported the transaction to my cc company so they're investigating. I sent them the pictures and the product description as proof. The idiot seller was non-communicative. I'll never utilize these kind of sites ever again.

BEWARE OF DHGATE MEDITATION PROCESS and sellers scamming you. If you purchased an item and received the wrong item, the seller will tell you in order to get a refund you have to ship the item back and once the item is received then your money would be returned. When you ship the item back to China and it makes it to China Customs Department, the seller will not pay the tax for the item to be released to them. So in-turn, you will be out of the shipment cost and the item you shipped. DHGATE DOES NOT HONOR THEIR GURANTEE OF HAVING THE SELLER PAY FOR SHIPPING AFTER BOTH THE SELLER AND BUYER HAVE AGREED TO THE MEDIATION STAGE. BEWARE. In addition, if your item states that it was delivered, but you haven't recieved your package due to it possibly being scanned as deliverered prematurely by the courier or delivered to the wrong address, DHGATE will always side with the seller and disregard your request. Your money would still be released to the seller and you are without an item. Dont waste your time with DHGATE meditation. If I were you, take precaution and play the games that DHGATE does with your time and money. Read between the lines.

I've placed an order with DHgate, and paid for it, but have not received any confirmation of the order. When I try to to check my orders, messages and try the chat option I am constantly being asked to login and this gets me back to "square one" its driving me crazy so frustrating. If this is the way the company works I don't think I will be ordering any more from them

Tip for consumers:
Once you have found what you want to buy check the reviews and any other information relevant to the purchase before placing the order. Once the order has been placed take a photograph of the confirmation of order page because DGgate do not send out an email confirmation of order. I made the mistake of not taking details of my order and am now having difficulty in accessing my orders on their website.

I can't write a review because after reading this page off comments I didn't order, I do have a suggestion for Solution everyone on this page should contact their State Attorney General and explain the situation. That's what The AG office is for, protecting citizens from scams. They take the necessary steps to investigate companies in and outside of this country. Don't hesitate to tell of this sites numbers of customers that had a bad experience.

Dghate has some really honest sellers on there they can't monitor all of them so i didn't blame them when I got scammed out of a less then 50 dollar order i blame that crooked seller FEIZHU I waited 5 months for a pair of shoes that never came they sent them shoes everywhere but to me how many different cities but kept stringing me along. Don't worry friend I'll take care of it for you friend this friend that because you can chat with the sellers after they was done doing whatever No communication They crooks scammers and should be banned off Dghate They have some really nice things on there but it's kinda like gambling. You can't trust the reviews or the store ratings that's how I got played and I'm just going to stick with the sellers I've been shopping with My advice don't buy anything from the seller FEIZHU CROOKS SCAMMERS

It’s not Dghate it’s some of the smelly research them as best you can

Well it took a little while but I did get a refund. The other reviews I read had me scared and thought my money was gone for good. I don't think I would order from them again because both orders were not received. The site showed that both had shipped and both made it to LA, one stopped there and one was sent to Chula Vista, I live a hundred miles away from there. I don't trust the individual sellers and do think there is a scam going on. I thank DHGate for the refund.
