DHgate

[spike74656]

Now DHgate van be very very cheap but it is difficult to know which sellers are any good.

I recently orderd some stuff from there and when it arrived 10 clearomisers were missing, 6 of the ones i did get were defective. 1 of the five batteries were defective and i havent had time to check all the chargers but i know at least one doesnt work properly.

I wanted to see if many other people have used DHgate and maybe if we could build a list of Trusted sellers?

Hello & welcome Spike

I've never ordered from DHgate, so can't help.

Welcome Spike . . . I've never ordered from them either, but I'm always suspicious of a deal that sounds too good to be true.

Plus I generally buy from Vendors, overseas ones included, whose sole business is vaping related paraphernalia, they have more to lose if they sell duff products.

Appreciate that's not a hard and fast thing, but it's worked for me in almost 2 1/2 years of vaping.

Welcome Spike,

There is a guy called Scaffman or Scaffaman (you'll need to ckeck the member's list) who uses DHGate. You could PM him to confer.

Thank you for the feedback and the welcome messages.

I have placed a much smaller order with another seller on there I think I may have seen the sellers name on one of Scaffmans posts. Will let you know how it goes. Have also placed an order on priceangels, looking forward to seeing what the quality of stuff is like from them as its also very cheap.

I firmly belive that with enough reasearch you can find both quality and price, Just hope it will be good enough to offset the price of all the sample orders from different places

Definatly learnt my lesson though my sample orders will all be much smaller than my first

Having said that the one thing i wont compromise on is my mixing liquids, I always go for well known reputable sellers and preferably from the UK.

Just done a quick bit of research and it sounds a bit hit and miss. A 'trusted sellers' from those who've used it would be very helpful.

Is there not a ratings system on there?

There is a rating system on there but im not sure its very usefull. The seller i Bought off had about 98% positive feedback from over 2000 transactions. Though when i looked at the negative feedback it was all basically the same thing. Really bad quality and things turning up broke or not working. It made me wonder if some of the sellers use sneaky methods like buying off themselvs to artificially raise their feedback levels.

Not to mention if i had just checked a sample of the stuff i bought rather than the whole lot i may have thought they were all good and left posative feedback. All the faults are the type you dont actually notice till you use the stuff! Except for the chargers which i could see were visually different from each other, I dont know how in one lot of 10 they managed to get about 5 different types of chargers.

There are a couple with 100% posative feedback but they tend to have low transaction amounts.

I see what you mean.

I think I'll be avoiding it, it sounds worse than eBay UK.
