Many sellers put up phoney ads , and after I purchase them, it begins a list of issues why they must refund my money. It is becoming obvious when they are listing a golf club for 50 percent its price, just to get my personal information, and a couple months later they re-list the product for 60 percent of the Real Price.
I will give you a report. I just bought some items. I do not believe that they will ever get delivered LOL

I ordered 4 bags (of which 2 from the same store) and a belt. Two bags have already arrived. The other two of the same store, only one came in. May I know where the other one is?

My cards were blocked because my bank flagged the account thinking it was fraud. DH Gate then flagged my account and would not take any cards. I appreciate this because of the card theft that is out there. When I reached out to show them proof of identity, they fixed it within a few days.
I ordered something and the picture showed a resin high gloss ornament. They sent me a crappy piece of rubber. I can't sell these. So far, not great. See if I actually get my money back.

The sellers are horrible, they delay shipment over than one week, after reminding them more than one time to ship the order. The tracking number always stuck in a date and a place, when you don't know where is your order for like a month.
Seller don't respond to my messages after dispatching the order to answer me for my questions about the expected day of the order.
I like the items, but the customer service and the sellers need to be more helpful.
My tracking number is LY456097757CN, it's 40 days now since I placed my order, and the information on the tracking number is the same for one month! Its still saying it's handed over the airline from 9/21 . Is that even make any sense to stay on the airplane for one month????????No updated news, the delivered date should be two days ago, but I am still waiting !!

They need to expand their payment options. We should be able to pay with prepaid cards. Another site similar to DHGate accepts prepaid with no problem, so I might as well take my business there instead.
Edit: Added one star since DH is working on it. I've looked over the other payment methods but once again, there is a huge lack in payment method options. If anything, at least put paypal as a payment method.

I got.... after waiting weekS....from China...a top. A"XL" was really at best a medium.
I give the company some credit ...if you stay with it ...you can get messages through and get minimal customer service.
I was to return the top to get my refund.
Return shipping to china was $28.00 on a $15.00 top. (So check where your item is coming from)
I could not get any resolution after that. So i lost my money...donate the top!?!
Lesson learned.

When I select random on 19 different colors, I expect to get some of all 19 colors. I get upset when they send 3-5 different colors. I select random because I want a variety of all colors available.
