Hello!

My name is Gregorio. I'm new.

I receive a lot of offers from Chinese suppliers.

Can you tell me whether these suppliers are trustworthy or not?

I have used DHgate on several occassions and as long as youse find a good supplier they are ok. I will recommend that you stay away from movies and electronics on here because they are very poor bootleg copies, and will get you suspended from ebay (my wife learned the hard way). Also I will tell you to stay away from these sellers because they are crooks:

If anyone else has had problems with sellers off DHgate please list them so that we all know the ones to stay away from.

There are many good sellers on Dhgate but you have to do your research. Check out their feedback, not just look at the numbers but read the negative and see how they handled disputes it will save you lots of money time and aggrivation, trust me I know through experience

Any time I think that we all need to get together and tell the bad ones on DHgate. I still use them and think that they do have good suppliers. If we can pull our strengths we could hurt the bad ones bad enough where it would not benefit them to stay on DHgate, plus maybe it will open Dhgate's eyes and get them to conrol their site better so they would be more beneficial to us

Can anyone recommend a good, honest supplier from DH Gate? At first the site really caught my attention, due to the vast number of suppliers and the huge choice of goods/merchandise. The first 2 I bought from, were both trying to sell fakes, and I am in dispute with both. I am looking for a supplier of either toys or household/kitchenware/small appliances, that is reputable. Can anyone recommend?

Hi,

I've been buying from DH for awhile now, and it does seem that just about EVERYTHING is a fake lol. This doesn't mean that the quality is bad - they can be perfect replicas in a lot of cases where you couldn't pick the difference. One seller I would highly reccomend working with is Nick from myeshop on DH. I've been buying from him for 3 months and I've found him to be extremely helpful. He has excellent English and goes out of his way to make it an easy transaction.

One seller I wouldn't reccomend is 'honest1688 '. I bought from them, 2 days after I paid they sent me the shipping information. When it hadn't arrived I checked the shipping number with EMS and the number turned out to be invalid. When I contacted the seller they told me that the item had been seized by Chinese customs and that we would both now lose our money. I contacted another seller I buy from on DH and he checked it out for me...the item was actually never posted. He said that is often one of the tricks used - say it was seized by customs - which often means they ran out of stock so are using that excuse. At the moment I'm entered in a dispute with this seller. Upon first contact their English was fine...funnily enough it seems to have fallen apart lol.

Hi,

Does anyone know an honest, reputable supplier at DHgate that sells high quality fragrances and perfume. I have seen some that have pretty good feedback and some are powersellers, but I am not sure if the quality of the fragrance would be what I am looking for. If anyone has dealt with an honest supplier that sells perfume, please let me know. Thank you.

Perhaps you can try Link hidden: Login to view they accept payment via PayPal, so I think it's safe.

I visited the site you recommended, cnshow and they seem like a smaller DH Gate with various sellers for different products. I did notice 2 things though -

1. The site links like Sign Up, Join Free, Community and Help didn't work.

2. There were many categories that had no inventory at all.

They have been online since 2004 and by the looks of it, the site seems unmaintained. But in fairness to the site, I was not able to find any negative reviews online...

Accepting PayPal does not always make a supplier 100% safe. There are also other factors that you may want to consider like site age, level of customer service - contact info provided/accessibility, reviews and feedbacks.

I buy directly from the sources as in I have an a agent there to outsource products in China that finds what I want. Take a picture or webcam it to me and send it to me by mail.

This I find more better to do than to rely on the hope that they are legit. But then again I run an import / export business and I started out doing that when I started. So to give some advice. Do not use places like DHGATE or Others if you are looking for real items.

Having a local agent is often a big advantage, especially in China where not only the actual distance is a barrier but the language itself!

So to give some advice. Do not use places like DHGATE or Others if you are looking for real items.

Good advice, but remember that China overall is not a place for buying any brand name items - online or offline just simply isn't the place to go to.
