Photo reviews
Photos and experiences shared by contributors. Read below how we check submissions.
How reviews and confirmations work
We ask contributors to share a photo they took and their own experience. Reviews go through automated checks. Flagged reviews can be assessed manually. Approval is not a guarantee that a photo is unedited or free of AI generation.
- Email address confirmed means the link sent to that address was used. It does not prove a purchase or the identity of a person.
- Company management confirmed relates to access to this company page. A paid plan does not verify individual reviews.
- A review invitation does not independently prove a purchase. An order reference supplied by a company is not independent purchase verification either.
- Publishing a photo with a review does not automatically permit reuse in marketing. A subscription does not grant that permission either.

Customer service
24/7 online support
DHgate positions itself primarily in the budget to mid-range wholesale segment, targeting small and medium-sized retailers, dropshippers, and resellers looking to source products directly from Chinese suppliers at low minimum order quantities. The platform operates as a marketplace rather than a retailer, meaning product quality and reliability can vary by seller. Buyer protection mechanisms, dispute resolution tools, and partnerships with major logistics providers such as DHL, UPS, and FedEx are in place to support international transactions. The name DHgate is inspired by Dunhuang, a historic city on the ancient Silk Road, reflecting the company's stated mission to serve as an online gateway for global trade.
