DHgate

If Wish wasn't enough for you, now there's a new platform for cheap shopping via mobile. It's called DHgate, and it focuses on wholesale purchases, although you can also get all kinds of products at ridiculous prices if you buy individually. In this way you can find lots at a much better price than if you did it on other platforms. Of course, the product also arrives from China, so you better check all your doubts before buying and wait patiently for your order.

Actually, the approach is the same as that seen on Wish. The DHgate app is portrayed as an intermediary between over one million Chinese wholesalers and the ordinary users of this app. Whether you are a retailer or a mere customer does not seem to change things on this platform. Of course, the idea is to buy lots, but there is everything.

As soon as we start the application for the first time we find ourselves with a couple of screens that seem to filter our needs depending on whether we are the owners of an establishment looking for lotto products or individual users who want to buy a product. We also choose the category we are looking for. Although in the end we find ourselves before a tidal wave of products of all kinds. Clothing, footwear, electronics, cell phones, jewelry… There is everything, and at really low prices. Although perhaps not as much as seen on Wish.

Nor have they forgotten to introduce all kinds of express offers, discount coupons and other capitalist paraphernalia. The truth is that the differences with Wish can only be appreciated by a text in the description of most products, with a different typography from the description (it makes us think that it is specific to the application and not the seller), to talk aboutwholesale

Special batch sales

What's interesting is that many wholesalers on DHgate claim to offer special prices for bulk purchases Make sure you check the description of the products they sell to inform you of how to get in touch and request offers. In addition, you have to look at the information under the name of the product, where the stock of the product is usually specified (ironically quite low in general), the minimum order quantity that can be placed (which, curiously, is always one unit) and also the maximum request (which is not too high either).

That is, the system is practically the same as in Wish but seems to be masked behind the idea of ​​selling wholesale. Of course, according to the descriptions of some products, can be a good idea to establish contact with the seller and get good prices if several units are purchased.

Is it safe to buy on DHgate?

At the moment the platform is reaching the top of the Google Play Store, so it seems that more and more users are using it. Applying our own security and control measures (using a lot of common sense), we have been able to see that most of the comments on the DHgate description page are negative Something similar to what happens in Wish about the waiting times of the products.A known problem with Chinese sellers.

What thorns us the most about DHgate are the evaluations themselves within the application. And it is that on the opinion page of different products we have noticed the repetition of comments. No matter the country from which they are sent (marked by the flag next to each comment), most reviews say “very satisfied” (very satisfied in Spanish), which leads us to to think that they are not real, but generated by bots or robots programmed to give good ratings to a product. Something makes us think that it could be a scam, but also a technique to position the product within the DHgate store itself.

However, we have also found real comments with photos of the product.So, as with Wish, it all depends on each seller, so be aware of real and positive ratings, reviews with actual photos, and concordance between price and product quality.
