Chinese online store DHgate
DHgate is a store in China, very old and very large. According to DHgate itself, the range of more than 50 million products with 300,000 sellers. The store's slogan is - buy without extra charges.
The Chinese DHgate store sells electronics, mobile phones, home and sports goods, auto moto accessories, wedding accessories, and more. It is fashionable to call this online store a hypermarket and compare it with the famous Aliexpress in terms of product volume.
A distinctive feature and main advantage over other stores in China is the powerful protection of buyers ESCROW, an analogue of the protection of Aliexpress. Its essence lies in the fact that the seller will not receive the money until you confirm receipt of the goods. And even after receiving, in case of any problems, you can claim compensation. So that's it. Only a few Chinese shops can boast of such buyer protection as DHgate has!
A wide range of payment methods for orders: credit cards, Webmoney, QIWI, Western Union and many others, but we are not interested in them. The store has recently been closed with PayPal. There are also a lot of delivery methods: HongKong Post, Singapore Post, DHL, EMS, UPS. The speed of delivery and processing of orders on DHgate is slightly faster than others, this is due to the quality control of the goods before sending to the customer.
Like all self-respecting Chinese stores, DHgate conducts sales such as: New Year's, Black Friday, World Shopping Day and others. Discount coupons are the only incentives for buyers.
An important advantage of the Chinese seller is always the presence of a full-fledged Russian-language version of the store! And here DHgate did not disappoint us. Help and purchase help sections are also Russified. There is a Russian-speaking group on VKontakte.
The only drawback of DHgate, judging by the numerous reviews, is those. support - they say it is not very accommodating to the Slavs :) Unfortunately, DHgate is unlikely to be of interest to a wholesale buyer - no special options are provided for them.
I personally made orders from this store many times - there were no problems. I just recommend, as in any Chinese store, to approach the choice of the seller responsibly and not rush to the lowest prices. Bottom line: DHgate is one of the best online stores in China.
