Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

They've got a 98.8% customer review score, with two of the reviews (on the dress I would like to order) being positive within the last two months. I would like to order one from this seller, however, I know that a lot of people have been warning me about scams and not to do so from this website. On the other hand, I do know that it is not dhgate specifically that is the scammer, but some of the shops/sellers on the site. So you have to be careful, it is a hit or miss basically. I've corresponded with the seller (at least I believe so) and was assured I'd get the before the end of the month - I don't need it until middle of November, but I would like to order it now in case something goes wrong, I can give myself time to prepare/get another dress/have it tailored/etc.

If I order from this seller, do you think I would have any problems?

Thank you...

Welcome to ScamWarners friendlycat, this is not the type of scam we deal with. I checked by searching I found this on wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHgate.com

I do wonder why you would take a chance on buying an item, especially as specific as a dress from a place you will certainly have a hard time returning it to if there is a problem. I can imagine that you could spend as much as you buy the dress for in alternations to try to get it to fit correctly.

We have a saying here: If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

Further research showed me that this site / company makes copies of real company's items, what are commonly called Knock Offs and those are a real gamble. If this is for a wedding, I don't think I would chance it. Best of luck.
