dhgate? anyone use this site? is it a scam?

Sorry for all the typos , posting from my cell

I wouldn't trust anything from China that's cheap. Wedding dresses are supposed to cost more than regular dresses because they are more detailed. Sounds like a scam.

Google their reviews and call the number on the website to see for yourself.

I wouldn't call it a "scam," however what you will be ordering will not be the real designer dress. It will be a knock off, with inferior fabric, embellishments and construction.

Here are all the links that Reenski usually posts that have warnings about chinese knock off gowns.

Need some warnings against knockoff sites? Okay, here ya go!

Erica. Feel free to PM me and I can tell you more about this site through 1st hand experience.

Almost all the China sites are scams. They show pictures of other dresses from other sites, then they replicate the dresses cheaply. You don't get the dress you saw in the picture, you get an imitation. It is often not a nice fabric, and lots of brides report being disappointed.

The very first link I posted was someone who bought a knock off of their dress from DH Gate to use for their trash the dress session and a comparison to the real designer dress.

ECM i cant for the life of me figure out how to PM through my cell! Lol can you PM me please? Ty

MrsO - thanks for sharing that ..its very scary..def makes.me want to avoid buying from China!

I have had customers share their poor experience of not being able to receive any correspondence once these companies from China had their money. The biggest concern is the lack of quality in the fabric, detail of embellishments and overall design (See video by Inside Edition below).

For anyone wondering whether a website is from China (which this site is from), we have put together a list of over 3000 sites (and counting) that you should stay away from.

Watch the videos as well to help educate yourself.

You can also share your experience if you ever ordered from one of these sites on our list and help others.
