It has recently risen in the Chinese equipment market DHgate Internet Portalwhich works on the same principle as the well-known Aliexpress. Various sellers can sell any goods there, either to end or wholesale customers.
This platform, hitherto unknown to many, wants to come to the forefront and attract customers to its side with very low prices, which completely overwhelm the competition.
We ordered a more expensive smartphone
If you are a regular reader of our website, you have probably heard about DHgate and maybe you have already bought something there. So far we are tested the delivery of the package from a European warehouse, specifically the product Xiaomi Mi Portable Air Pump. Then the package arrived relatively quickly, in 8 days.
However, we have now decided to order a much more expensive product. DHgate has lured us with its price of the latest smartphone POCO F2 Pro, which we at the dealer Mi Flagship Store came out for about € 440.
Coupons for POCO F2 Pro without customs fees
In addition, the seller stated that he would deliver the smartphone via DHL completely free of charge and would even handle all customs matters, including fees, on behalf of the customer. Nothing could be better, so we dusted off our "credit card".
We've been waiting longer to ship
We paid out the order on May 15.5.2020, 21 and waited for what would happen next. We waited for sending until May 6, ie some XNUMX days, when we also received an e-mail with a tracking number from the DHL courier.
The longer wait for shipping could be due to the fact that it was ordered POCO F2 Pro was brand new at the time and pre-sales were just starting.
After entering the tracking number into the tracking system (17track.net) nothing happened for a long time. Specifically, for 14 days, only one information was displayed, namely that the package was waiting to be processed somewhere in the English warehouse.
However, the package was not really in the warehouse yet, as he traveled from China to England for these 14 days. It is not possible to follow the path of the package between China and Europe, so we have no choice but to wait.
Delivery: No customs duties?
On June 3.6.2020, 17, we received a notification via the XNUMXtrack application that the package is already in England and has been picked up by a DHL courier. After that, we only had to wait one day and the shipment was delivered to our hands.
On the day of delivery, the courier informed us by SMS and also called just before delivery that he had a package for us.
The delivery thus lasted a total of 15 calendar days, which is really a very decent delivery time, especially if we take into account the current situation in the world and the delayed packages.
And what about customs duties? To our surprise, we did not receive any customs clearance notice during the shipment and no additional fees were charged by the courier upon delivery.
The seller really arranged everything for us. We only paid the amount for the goods, i.e. the original 440 € and waited 15 days for delivery. This is how we envision a reliable, cost-effective and, within the possibilities, fast purchase from China.

DHgate is preparing great news
Thanks to direct contact with the portal, we know what they are preparing for us. We are waiting for two important innovations that will surely please many potential buyers.
It will be added to the platform soon EU Priority Line transport methodwhich we already know from vendors like Banggood or Gearbest. This method has been working for several years and is the best way to get expensive and larger goods from China to Europe.
When transporting the EU Priority Line, the customer does not care about customs procedures or customs fees (VAT and customs duties) at all, everything is handled directly by the seller.
As with the DHL delivery mentioned in this article, this only works for select smartphones so far. EU Priority Line transport will work globally for all products.
In addition, we should see this summer PayPal payment method, which is currently not available. Payments are currently only possible with a credit or debit card, which may discourage someone.
Be sure to keep an eye on Xiaomi Planet and you will find out all the news in time. We also have other packages from DHgate on the way through other transport methods and we will definitely let you know how it will turn out.

I ordered from DH gate for the first time in about 2010. I have to say that the goods arrived once, but once they were detained by the customs police in Bratislava, and after a conversation with the head of the customs administration, I preferred to renounce them, as I was not sure " branded" goods (a fine of €3300 was threatened for fakes).
Note: the seller stated in the description: a case for a Nokia mobile phone…, etc.
Otherwise, I then went to Ali mainly for his frequent frilling and description of the goods as a Gift.
Thank you for this post, I was very encouraged just 3.6. I ordered it :).
Experience of evil, I ordered the goods with your coupon, which I paid with the card, no account is created on the account of dh gate, I just write that the order was canceled and the order detail contains the amount without reading the coupon for which the reduced amount of money I paid I don't have money, the goods probably won't be where I made a mistake, I don't know, I contacted you by e-mail willingness on the part of you, so for future purchases from China I choose a different form than through your nice day
Hello, I'm sure we'll take a look at your email and work it out together. We receive dozens of emails a day, and it takes longer to get to all the messages. We will contact you by e-mail.
I waited 3 months for a pair of sneakers 3months no one answered my email at all it's very hard and difficult to speak to anybody you and see if someone read your message they would read it but no response I ask for my refund no response at all before they would take 2 to 3 weeks known to long they need to fix their system of responding
