DHGATE - Aaaaaackkkkk! :) Good/Bad Seller List

[Chicken #420]

For small accessories (adapters for example) I always had (3 orders) good experiences with the seller "driptips". Extra fast shipping via RoyalMail, cheap price & ok for single pieces.
Good experience (but only one order for now) with "justdoit66", listed as bad seller though. Maybe I was lucky. (There are many sellers with similar or very similar names).

Seller "driptips" now edited into my list post, added to the good sellers list.

There are 2 or 3 "justdoit" sellers on DHGate, justdoit22, justdoit66, Etc.
I do not know if they are all the same seller or not... but I'd suspect they probably are. I had a 5 week long "bad ride" with justdoit66, which was refunded today after tons of BS and shipping drama. Not liking the interaction with this seller so far... but maybe I'll go again if they have something else I'd like to not get. At least I got my money back after the first go-around!

Next one on my list... next week most likely.

I reached out to SunshineStore, they should be back up next week.

KivisDream can be added to the list. 2 items in 2 weeks as described with the best packaging I've received from DHgate

Quick update: The pink T-Rex fab egg arrived. It's perfect and exceeds all my expectations! I highly recommend it. I'll update the list in the next day or two when the last pipes arrive!

Seller "cleanglasssmoke" shipped the pink fab egg Dino rig super fast... and it arrived well packaged and unbroken. I love it! I am so pleased with the pipe I can't contain it... I want to show everyone how great and detailed the glass artwork is!


Seller "golden2017" found this page somehow. They are the fine folks who shipped me an empty DHL envelope, with a 0.3KG weight listed on the customs paperwork (the weight of the bag). They are now begging me to remove the bad rating, and say they will now ship the right pipe to me without further delays or problems.

Too little, too late. They stay on the "Bad Seller" list.


Let's keep adding to this list, and help it grow! Please post about your DhGate experience, and I'll keep this list updated!


I now have an even 20 pipes ordered from DHGate. This is the score:

4 suspected and confirmed scams, 3 scams refunded (1 by DHGate, 2 by sellers)
1 pipe received broken, currently waiting for absentee seller to comunicate.
14 beautiful pipes received in perfect condition!

Still awaiting 1 pipe, it should be here within a week. Not too bad so far... DHGate and some of the sellers there have some issues, but overall I'm satisfied.

 

[Chicken #420]

Folks... I'm departing this forum over FlowerPot drama and personal attacks, I won't be returning. It really is true that no good deed goes unpunished!

No need for that in my life!

If any of you want to take this list over, just quote my latest list posting and remove the quote tags to continue this project. We've got a good start, let's keep it rolling!

P.S. Just checked my tracking, my final pipe was delivered this morning. It is from Stevenlmz79, so I'm sure it is fine. I now have data on all 20 pipes ordered: 3/4 of pipes I ordered are now here and perfect. Of the remaining 5, I've been refunded for 3 and the rest will eventually be dealt with in a few weeks by DHGate. Overall, I like the place and plan to continue glass purchases there.

Be well, everyone...

Peace out!

Chicken, my friend....quitting the FP thread is one thing and quite understandable, but why the entire forum. May I ask, please?

Personally, I have no interest anymore in NV or the guy who runs it. But I will NOT let Edwyn run me out of this community. This board is ours and you have a welcomed place in it.

P.S. - thank you to the mods for changing out a word in my post to keep it from being a personal insult and violating our rules and desires for comity.

 

[pxl_jockey]

Seriously @Chicken #420 Not good! Your rasta vibration is positive.
FC needs you doing what you do. Gotta be more going on than I know.
But you gotta reconsider mate, listen to the wisdom of @Baron23
You're a member of the board, how can we vote without you?!

 

[Chicken #420]

OK folks... I'll stick around...
but I'm going to just lurk for a good while and maybe update this thread occasionally. I hope you understand... this just isn't my favorite place to visit on the web any more after what's happened.

Thank you all for the kind words.

We support you brother just because some ambisexual walnut can't be CIVIL don't let it bother you. I love & value the list you created and hope you'll update as often as you can.

So I have been waiting for my DHGate to since Nov. 11

November 20 I read a message they are processing through Wuhan, China.

The shit just left China!

Aaaaaackkkkk!

The dhgate website tracking is sometimes very behind.


Try running the tracking number through the tracker for which ever company will deliver it. Generally more accurate if it's left china

 

[Chicken #420]

Play exciting games with Asian merchants of dubious integrity! Win fabulous glittering glass prizes! Or not!

I've decided to continue my DHGate good and bad seller list project, and also to continue buying glass there to review seller activities. I have a friend who is getting ready to open a smoke shop, and he'll need inventory... so I'll be ordering a few hundred $$$ more in glass over the next few weeks, as he hands me funds. Good times!

Looking forward to continuing this... next list update should be on Monday, after 2 more chinapipes I've ordered are due to arrive!

For small accessories (adapters for example) I always had (3 orders) good experiences with the seller "driptips". Extra fast shipping via RoyalMail, cheap price & ok for single pieces.
Good experience (but only one order for now) with "justdoit66", listed as bad seller though. Maybe I was lucky. (There are many sellers with similar or very similar names).

So every time I try to find driptips the seller, I just get sellers with drip tips. I'm using the app, I've tried using the store icon at the bottom of the page. Same result. Usually if I want a store, sunshine for example, I can just type in "sunshinestore" and it'll bring up the items they sell. Not with driptips.

Can you please give me a link, so I can add it to my favourites? Muchas gracias! I need adapters and sunshine and steven don't have the low profile reducer. Merci beaucoup Monsieur Monss!

Try driptip, not driptips: https://www.dhgate.com/store/20215520

Received 2 awesome thick glass drop downs and a quartz carb cab/dabber from Goodsstore.

2 weeks to Toronto, and it was held up at customs for a week, give or take.

My 2nd pipe from stevenlmz79 did indeed arrive OK, unbroken and an awesome deal as always! Love that store and CCG.

Ordered 10 more pipes yesterday, and I'll probably have another 10 on order by this weekend. I have a friend who is planning to open a smoke shop this summer and needs inventory, so I told him I could get some good glass for him from China with minimal loss and breakage. We all get to benefit by finding out more about who in China is being naughty and nice!

All 20 of my original ordered pipes have resolved at this point. This is the score:

3 suspected and confirmed scams, all refunded (1 by DHGate, 2 by sellers)
1 scam with manipulative seller (dkglobe) who keeps gaming it to avoid a refund.
1 pipe received broken, currently waiting for absentee seller to comunicate.
15 beautiful pipes received in perfect condition!

Since the last update, I've received a pair of 18" & 20" tall tubes, a pair of 10" bent necks, and I've put in orders for over 20 new pipes for my friend's headshop and for my own collection. Should be able to add quite a few new names to the seller list when this batch is finished!

Seller "alza" made things somewhat right for me after selling me a pipe they don't own or ever intended to have made. After complaining, I received a fucking BEEEEAUTIFULLLL fluorescent green sandblasted fab egg and some cash as the consolation prize... surprisingly, I'm super pleased!

Unfortunately, they stay on the "problem sellers" list... "bait and switch" sales tactics will NOT fly around here, even if the resulting "switch" ends up being great.

I don't see Yingmin5 on the list, but I've used them a few times and have been satisfied. Lamin is also Yingmin5 (or used to be) and sells much of the same stuff.

Stu,
Added. Thank you!
