DHGate.com The website 100% lies about where items are located. It can't be legal.

Hi All:

More than one report on this scam website.  I suppose not sending items at all or at least people not receiving them might be tough to prosecute.  And I know this site hosts sellers, so they likely blame the sellers individually for their woes.

However it is not individual sellers, but rather the site itself, which blatently and outright lies to customers to take their money.

The site displays the location an item is in as part of the listing.  They list the items as being local on purpose.  They aren't.  In the case of my individual order, they just give me the run around but refuse to address the misrepresentation as they seemingly not just allow these customer manipulations, but rather encourage them.  The seller won't refund my money of course, customer service for the site itself ignores that the lies are what make people make the purchases in the first place.

My money along with so many others' is gone, but that's not my goal at this point.  Hopefully this report will reach someone who puts all the multiple reports against this organization together and actually does something about it. 

Again, might be tough when it comes to long shipping times or merchandise not received (though on that latter part it shouldn't be) however surely -absolute lies in print on the website- used to take people's money are easily provable, and hopefully illegal.

Willing to cooperate further in any conceivable way.  Thanks!
