Buying stuff from Ali Express or DH Gate

I've got a contact from China that I use via WhatsApp if anyone is interested.

Had a load of kits over the last couple of years from him. All bang on**.

He sends you a link to his photo albums, just screenshot what you want and send to him on a WhatsApp message. You pay him via PayPal and the kits arrive around 2 weeks later depending on Royal Mail. Usually costs me £17 for a full kids kit with name/number & socks. Adults around £15 shirt only.

**TIP - with any of the Chinese sellers your always best to wait until AFTER the kits are officially released. The first editions based on leaks are often slightly out with colours/shades etc. (This year's for example all initially came with red collars not burgundy)
 
I always get the City kits from DH Gate for me & my girls.
I even order them before they come out over here.
Even got the red England shirt off there.
Perfect.
Matched my England (£16.00) shirt to my friends (£70.00) shirt no difference whatsoever - even had the 3 lions written under the collar which i didnt know was even there.
All come with tags, badges etc….the kids tops even come with shorts & socks.
I wouldn’t be shocked if they were nicked out of the factories

On DHgate, they don't release payment to the vendor until you've physically received the goods so it's well protected. I was refunded for something that went missing in transit during Covid.

Might have a look later today and get a couple of NBA vests for my hols.

So it's designer/copy but you don't know which brand you get ? I've just looked on DH at some coats, please any advice ?
 
Never had any issues. Delivery time varies. Ordered daughter a Cardigan and it tuned up in under a week. Ordered the odd thing thats taken a lot longer. Kits have always been top notch.

I've never bought anything designer related on there pal so I can't comment. I've only ever bought NBA vests or retro football shirts to wear around the pool / garden.

If you are buying football shirts or basketball vests the photos never show the shirt manufacturer on the site but they are printed on to the garment. I.e. if you bought an England shirt, there's no nike logo in the photos on the site but the shirt you receive will have the nike logo printed on.

Cheers mate
 
Has anybody bought a rugby shirt from DHgate? Do you size up?

Don't mind England rugby world cup shirts as they don't have a sponsor but £80 for the official top is ridiculous.
 
Is it safe to use dh gate ?
I'm a bit worried using my debit card on there,Its mainly to buy
football tops for my son , I don't have paypal,so I'd be using my debit card.
TIA
 
Just as I was reading, AliExpress advertised on telly. Suggests they're accepted as genuine then? Endorsed by a complete prick though so I'm out.

I used mine twice. No issues after that. Once i had some issues when a website didn't accept my credit card, bur after chatting with the purolator customer service problem was solved very quickly. Again, after that no problems. I am sure that big e commerce businesses value their customer's safety and use secure payment systems.

Yeah I have used them mate, also Temu & AliExpress.

Had zero problems and the stuff has been good. I always use credit card for payment.

So I guess I answered my own fred. :)
