Just to make clear, I have no proof dhgate is the culprit!
Just saying it seems more then a coincidence that this started to happen 3 days after making the dhgate purchase.
That is also why I mentioned things were ordered from Amsterdam and Berlin, I do not think some Chinese guy is behind it hihi...
Now the question would be if a 'third' party has been able to intercept my payment and data along with it.
I have always used prepaid cards before on dhgate. And I do remember other members getting strange bills on their credit card after using dhgate.
Would I buy from dhgate again, if I can find prepaid cards again I will. With my regular credit card, no way.

So I caught up on this latest drama late. But I ordered a couple pieces this weekend from DHgate. Can't remember the seller off the top of my head. Anyway I put the order in everything was ok payment is listed as accepted on dhgate, the funds in my account went unavailable as if the payment was fine, but this morning the money is back in my account and available. DHGATE still lists it as payed though. Anyone have any similar issues? Payment was accepted by dhgate on the 30th. Should I just wait a few days and see what happens or do I contact the seller asap?
My bong from Steven arrived yesterday. It ended up being a 18mm female gong rather than the 14mm that I thought it was going to be. There's also some scratches on the main tube from poor material storage but that's really a minor issue. I'm super happy with the thickness and quality of production as it is flawless otherwise. I'll post some pics later today once I'm done making a custom 18mm Vapcap vong.

I have a real mobius matrix perc. As I've learned more, I do appreciate the Matrix perc from Mobius more now. I may get another real mobius again, but Steven LMZ Matrix percs aren't too bad. They need to squeeze in 50% more Vertical slits at least to make it like the Matrix perc IMO from pic judgements, but otherwise, it's still good.
I really think the main problem is that these chinese glass blowers haven't seen real pieces or smoked. If I could actually buy a Chinese glass blowing shop, I could definitely improve the quality to beyond American blowers IMO. My main hurdle is finding a shop, and being Chinese to own Chinese assets, but I think I can get around number 2 with some friends, so just need to hire some quality Chinese glass blowers!
On another note, I can't stress enough guys, get lots of pieces =D.
I always find I have a different mood/desire for the day. Today, my allergies are acting up, and I'm quite stuffy. I can't inhale for long. No problem, use the matrix perc on a low temp. Easy pull.
Another day, I just want to take massive rips before a long car ride. No problem, 12 inch Taurus clone + matrix perc ash catcher. Quickly take massive vape rips that I can hold in my lungs before I head out.
Tons of fun finding the pieces you like for whatever situations. Chinese glass is cheap, accumulate and enjoy! Don't just accept the generic choices of getting a d020 or fc 187 or something. Try some stuff out.
Mostly FC/GB stuff though.... Some of the other random pieces I've gotten have been super low quality.
Edit:
I only need $400 more of glass. Wnat? Huh? I don't know
.... Soon!

Whilst things are quiet around here I thought I'd share a joint with you.
Remember that fab egg I ordered as a reward for heroically hosting the family for another fun festive holiday? Well, it came with a failed joint.
The joint in question is the upper downpipe support where it connects to the body of the egg. The downpipe is still attached at the base of the inner 'shell'.
Trouble is that the fail is quite hard to see but it's definitely not attached to the egg body. Touching it gently makes that horrible sound of glass grating against glass
.
I sent photos similar to those below to the vendor within 24 hours of receiving the piece which was 24th of Jan. They should be back at their desks by Tuesday and I should get a response then.
Do you think that these photos are adequate proof of a break? Note too the bubbling in that area. There's a picture of the whole piece here: #23354
Some arrows on this one to point the vendor in the right direction
I'll let you know what the vendor intends to do to put this right as soon as I hear from them.

I'll resell you marked up dhgate glass. Not sure why you'd want that but I'll do it
Any reason why you wouldn't just order straight from them?
Otherwise can't go wrong with the matrix perc. I feel Stevens are the best matrix percs, but they still aren't the real thing. I wonder if we can get Steven to add more slits on his current matrix.

Has anyone had any success using a prepaid gift card (visa or MC) on dhgate shipping to USA? I purchased a card and it won't allow me to order internationally online...

Well written!

Maybe check the settings of your profile of the card.
Ortherwise the point of these cards seems unclear to me, I recently gotten myself one too.
Thanks for the heads up. Do you know if they have any discount codes or free shipping codes?

DHgate accepts PayPal according to their FAQ page:
edit:
Payment Option
What forms of payment does DHgate.com accept?
DHgate.com accepts PayPal, Credit Card, Wire Transfer and Western Union.
and this looks like a good option. You can park up some money with them and use it for, say, Chinese glass. Also, even if you use a credit/debit card via Paypal at least it's another layer of protection
.@skaav re-edit Yea, just had a closer look and for retail buyers PayPal is not on the list.
Pity.

Thats weird, couldnt use paypal on my order, I just used one of the direct banking options, the seller, or dhgate in fact, never even see your card/account info with that.

No, I don't. I don't buy from there - nor do many. I buy direct from China for much lower prices. A search on this secret thing called "Google" may find some results, though. Do you need a link?
Despite nearly everyone on this thread buying from DHGate, we gave you the site, and I even went and found a few pieces for you. Your reply is to ask for discount codes?
