I purchased and received an invoice for an iPhone 17 Max Pro, which was US$214.48 (AU$372.59). It took close to a month to arrive. I could not get the phones to talk to one another, so I had the grandson try, and all he managed to do was set the… Read more

date and time. I then took it to the Apple shop, and they thought it odd as it was black and black is not sold in Australia. They then checked their computer and discovered that the serial number was the same as hundreds that had been sold around the world. I have many times written messages to DHGate, which I assume they send to the supplier, and if there is no reply within 12 hours, they delete the message. I have tried to add to the messages within the 12 hours and it will not allow me to add to the message. I have said that I would be happy to receive a real iPhone 17 Pro Max instead of a refund but still no reply. I have also had to cancel my debit card as my feeling is that if they deal with crooks, they could put more payments onto the card. I will never deal with another company, on the internet, that does not accept PayPal. I have never had a problem with the other operators that are similar to DHGate so you will understand that I would not recommend DHGate.

 Follow-up  · I will not deal with DHGate again as they deal with scammers. I was sent an order from DHGate for the phone I ordered and paid for which was an iPhone 17 Pro Max. What I received was a phone in an iPhone box and looked like an iPhone 17 Pro Max but it was Android phone. The packaging was good and came with a charging cable and the phone turned on… Read more

Dhgate isn't a good app for buying things from China. It's full of scammers and fraud sellers of China. I already have a bad experience of losing money by spending money on two mobile phones and the seller has taken full money and sent me mobile phone cases. I have raised the disputes but the clever scammer manipulated the dispute and the chinese… Read more

customer service of dhgate favored the seller and didn't give me my refund. I have lost $124 from this app. Please do not buy anything from this app.

DHGATE Seller: Redbud06 shipped me a product that didn't look like the picture. I paid $70.00 for a velvet tracksuit, and they gave me a $10.00 refund for shipping me a suit that didn't look like the advertised picture below. They are a ripoff, so do not buy from them. The seller laughed when they were told to pay me only $10.00, please see his… Read more

Stay away from seller-luxurywholesaler—SCAMMER – Stay away from seller- luxurywholesaler1. Takes payment and does not send goods. Refuses to send refund and cannot provide proof of delivery. When asked to refund money as item was not received, blames it on post office and asks you to buy item again.

Quick delivery – No problem with my seller cbssport. I ordered a kids soccer kit end of November 2022. I just picked one seller from the many on the site. It arrived December 20, in time for xmas and exactly as described. Quality good. As a first time user I must admit I was not at all used to the site and found for all correspondence I had to log in to check… Read more

Surprised to find so many negative reviews – Used the site on and off since 2014 without an issue. Easy to use site, easy ordering process, all items have been as described and orders have arrived promptly. One negative issue I had over the years(customs confiscation) was dealt with by the vendor in an exemplary manner(i paid shipping costs and they covered the goods for a reship) which I… Read more

was very satisfied with.

Surprised to see so many negative reviews. No problems in my experience. My suggestions are to communicate clearly with the vendor regarding all expectations of the purchase and don't expect to spend Toyota money and receive a Ferrari.

Lindaxu90 is a reliable seller! – DHGate gets a lot of bad reviews but they aren’t helpful. Like a Westfield shopping centre, DHGate is a website with a lot of shops ‘under its roof.’ If you have a bad experience with a shop in a Westfield shopping centre, you blame the shop don’t you? Not Westfield. Same with DHGate. If you have a bad experience with a seller, name the SELLER!… Read more

Everyone is then warned.

My first experience buying from Lindaxu90 was as good as it gets. I bought a grey herringbone three piece suit, custom made to my measurements. The order was placed on Feb 7, 2021. I received notice that it was shipped on March 11. It arrived just a few weeks later. All good!

I then placed an order on April 10 for a linen suit and two tweed suits, custom-made. I noticed my measurements from the previous order were still showing when I 'went into' to the sellers shop.

I received notice that the order was shipped on April 28. 40 working days later and the goods had not arrived. I contacted Lindaxu90 and advised the USPS tracking numbers were not supported in Australia and that the tracking number was showing that the goods had been delivered to three different addresses in the US.

This was clearly a freight issue – as has been the case since the global covid pandemic and interruption to normal flight services. (I've had a lot of orders from other suppliers go missing – even locally placed orders coming by post.) Rather than open a dispute I communicated the problem clearly and politely with the seller. Although a freight issue technically isn't their fault, Lindaxu90 went to amazing lengths to ensure delivery of my order – and it turned up on the doorstep on July 15th!

Excellent quality and value, and all according to order specifications and the pics on the sellers page!

For clothing, even if you have a bad experience with a DHGate seller in the past, I would say you could shop with tremendous confidence with Lindaxu90.

A very trustworthy and reliable seller!

(I'll score Shipping 'Bad' – but that is not the supplier's fault.)

THIS SITE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE IN AUSTRALIA! IT OFFERS LITTLE OR NO CONSUMER PROTECTION! I ordered two keypads for my front gate. I received 2 CHINESE TUYA digital gateway devices. After reporting the error to DHGATE and it's seller, I was instructed in a couple of chat sessions to "NEGOTIATE" with the seller. The seller's response… Read more

is not viewable but the DHGATE platform informs me that the seller has declined my request for the correct goods to be sent - A$79 COST INCLUDING SHIPPING.

I am now waiting 5 days for a "MEDIATION" process to commence.

This site is confusing and extremely difficult to navigate. Responses from the site are often in CHINESE.

I suggest if the reader is wanting to purchase online - make the purchase from EBAY or AMAZON. These presumably CHINESE based sites are a scam.

PLEASE BE WARNED: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CHEAP PRODUCT OR VALUE BUYING IF YOU ARE FORCED TO ACCEPT AN ITEM THAT YOU DIDN'T PAY FOR, YOU DON'T WANT, OR YOU CAN'T USE.

DON'T BE A FOOLISH IDIOT LIKE I WAS - CLOSE THE WEBPAGE AND OPEN UP A REPUTABLE TRUSTWORTHY SITE!!

If I could give no stars I would. Complete scam. Some sellers may be okay but my first and consequently last purchase on this site was a nightmare. I spent $148 and the seller refused to ship the items. After 2 weeks I contacted the seller to enquire as to why the items had not been sent as it was well past the date stated that items would be… Read more

shipped. I sent messages daily to the seller but they did not bother to even read them. Trying to contact Dhgate directly is almost impossible. The online chat is useless and nowhere can you actually chat to a member of customer service. Their email bounces back. If the seller had simply messaged me and explained there was a hold up with manufacturer or whatever the case may be, I would have been happy to wait. But no reply from the seller. So I requested a refund as I doubted the items would ever be shipped as it was approaching a month. The seller agreed immediately!!! -after 2 weeks of ignoring my messages. The seller however agreed to a "partial" refund. I did NOT agree to this. I requested a full refund. After all, the seller still had not shipped the items. So the seller states I get a refund of $85.84. What the hell!! And Dhgate will do nothing. I cannot dispute because a refund has been issued. I emailed (which bounced back) them before the refund was received and advised that I did not agree to a partial refund- either seller sends the whole shipment immediately or refunds the whole amount. I usually pay with PayPal which would have helped in this case. Do not use afterpay or credit card with this company as you don't have a leg to stand on. Only use PayPal or better still don't use this platform at all. I wish I had seen all of the negative reviews before Dhgate ripped me off.

Do not use the website. I have lost £500 because the website doesn't work. You can't add tracking numbers and then they close the return. You have to confirm on your chat with the seller for a refund which doesn't work and you can't reply. No customer service only a robot. Total rubbish. This has been 6 weeks now

They Shut me Out of my Account – For no reason I was told I violated platform rules and am now shut out of my account. I cannot check on my orders. I contacted Dhgate through FB messenger. They needed to submit a "report" and wanted a photo of my credit card front and back...Si Im shut out of my account and they have all my credit card details.

Are They Scammers? – Just had someone claiming to be from Burwood, Sydney offering me a role with DHgate that pays $150-$300 per day. What I was to do was add some listed items to my DHgate cart and send a screenshot once a day. When I asked how that could be useful thing I was told it was a way of boosting sales. My suspicion is that some cheap junk purporting to… Read more

expensive products I ordered will be sent to me with a demand for payment. Whatever the case it is clearly dishonest and most probably a scam.

Never use this site – We bought off one of their sellers, the item we received was not what was advertised. The seller refused to refund. We opened a dispute with dhgate and they basically did nothing! We uploaded several photos to show what they were advertising and what we received. They were clearly different. Dhgate simply closed the dispute saying we didn't submit enough evidence! What a joke. Complete scammers!

poor quality product, customer service did not help at all – Very poor quality product, purchased a skirt , the length of the skirt was far too long, missing a button, contacted customer service, asked me to provide a long list of evidences, I done it once then asking me again, then provided second time of all evidences, and still said the evidence is insufficient, closed the dispute. do not buy anything from this platform.

Cheap rubbish – Purchased over USD $250 in items. Everything went straight into the bin. Cheap materials, products not as described and broken after one use. Deceptive scammers who go back and forth in loops resulting in you giving up. I wish I had read the reviews here before purchasing. Never again. Disgusting that they are permitted to operate.

Worst Online Shopping Experience Of My Life! – Horrible company. I purchased an item that was not at all what was pictured. When I tried to return it, they wanted me to pay the shipping. I couldn't find anybody to talk to because the website is massively confusing and loops you back to places you've already been. My disdain for DHGate is immense. I truly hate this company and will NEVER buy anything from them again. Avoid them like the plague. Temu is much better.

Steer clear of LemonLemon668 and dhgate – This supplier ships fake appalling quality goods. I raised a dispute with dhgate and have had zero success. I returned the item and the seller is claiming non receipt. I have proof of receipt. Do not buy from dhgate. Not worth it.

SCAM-TERRIBLE QUALITY PRODUCTS – I purchased three dresses from Dhgate for a family member that's oversees and when they arrived, the quality was terrible and nothing like it was shown online. The fabric of the dresses were extremely cheap and very poorly made. One of the dresses was a wedding dress, and it is not like the pictured showed. It is also hard to communicate with the… Read more

sellers and they all declined my request to refund me. The dresses come from China and it is hard to have to return all these dresses to them. One of the seller's name was "wangcai01" and they had the worst quality, and I paid $75 for the dress. Their dispute process is not user friendly. I don't recommend you buy dresses from them, it is very risky. Buyer beware! The pictures show one of the dresses I purchased.

raised a complaint with my bank, and DH Gate still claimed to have sent the item, even though no shipping number is logged with any courier company worldwide.A 2 second search proves this true.

Dishonest to the fullest – Beware absolutely full of scammers. You don’t have money protection either! The dispute team is an absolute joke. I have provided proof of items not as described but seller does not provide any evidence of what he was advertising and they will cancel your dispute without refunding you
