“Don't order from DHGATE. Take your money and item doesn't ship. It's impossible to get your money back unless you dispute it on a credit card.”

“Takes over a month to receive items. When you have an issue DHgate says to contact seller. When doing so sellers NEVER respond or it says seller is not longer on this site. Dont ever expect to get a response from ANYONE on this site. I do not recommend.”

“The dispute resolution function is exceedingly poor. They ask for evidence which is difficult to provide and then they don't evaluate it well. Importantly they give you hardly any time to respond or reject their proposals (say 48 effective hours total when one allows differences in time zones). Regarding a poorly made Saxophone mouthpiece, which I asked to be replaced, they contacted me on 2 Feb asking for evidence by 5 Feb, which I supplied on the same day. On 3 February they came back, offered me half my money back but agreed only half of the evidence but I hadn't given proof that the mouthpiece wasn't playable - how could I do that? I tried to make a counter proposal but they timed me out on 5 Feb and closed the dispute (was going to send the item back but by then I had no postal address to send it to, so couldn't do it immediately and was automatically timed out). Don't buy from them unless you can afford to write off the purchase. I have bought three items from different vendors through DHGate - two good and one bad. However without a decent means of dispute resolution I would strongly recommend avoiding DHGate. Chinese goods can be excellent and excellent value but one needs an effective returns and dispute resolution system: they don't! They are allegedly sending me and inadequate US$20 in lieu of return which I did not agree. Maybe I'll get it and maybe not. Dreadful!”

“Attempted to buy guitars twice several months apart from two different sellers. Each time the seller closed the store and removed inventory. First time seller gave a invalid tracking number. Second time seller closed up and did not ship. Avoid the urge to buy on this site. Dishonest sellers everywhere. Beware.”

“The Chinese culture is one of dishonesty. That is a fact. There are very fer dealers/sellers on DHGate that are trustworthy. They do not understand the concepts of great customer care, ethics and responsiveness. Nearly all sellers will not respond to email inquires. Escalating to their customer care team is not worth the time. They will make up excuses and tell you to work with other dealers. Its a ridiculous culture and selling market. STAY AWAY FROM DHGATE AS THE SELLERS ARE DISHONEST, NON RESPONSIVE AND NOT WORTH THE TIME>”

“I'd give negative stars if possible. Getting a refund is extremely hard and you have to actually liaise with the sellers directly, and trust me, many of them are gonna play hard ball. It cost me USD65 for this mistake (seller name is niceshoestore). Seller was not cooperative at all because she wants me to state my reason as something else that's not my real reason because she didn't want to be investigated. I decided in the end to report this to my bank. I suggest all other buyers do the same instead of liaising with the useless admins and scammer sellers, and to never engage with dhgate again. Go aliexpress. I never once had a problem with their platform.”

“Customer service is all done with automation. Getting a human contact is impossible. My order never arrived and forget getting a refund. You are encouraged to deal directly with the seller which is not realistic in international transactions. I placed an order to try it. I am out that money but it was a cheap lesson. Stay away or at least know that the source of your order is reliable.”

“Made a purchase for 45 items. I received one item and it was the wrong thing. Contacted seller Huangwei345 several times through email and dm, no reply. Requested dispute. No response from anyone not even customer service. This is a rip off. All of the positive reviews are from Friends of the sellers out of China!!!! Everyone needs to post to BBB. I’m filing a police report!! It is illegal to take money without giving up the goods!!!!!! Also it took 30 days to receive the wrong item.”

“Awful experience buying from a company called Eunorau via DHgate. Seller makes a point of stating they will pay all import duty to UK & other countries but after my item was delivered to my home address in UK, I received a bill from FedEx for £83 import duty on my order and the seller wouldn't pay it. DHgate don't respond to my emails and very limited in choice when trying to raise a complaint. Absolute rip-off and will avoid in the future.”

“Sellers on this site are definitely scammers I ordered twice and I had problem with them for both items. I never received them and the main problem is they referred us directly to seller for an agreement for refund that is stupid there’s no agreement for that!!!!!! Definitely it is a SCAM”
