Wholesale-Order.com and Dress-Wholesale.com Customer Review

I do love a bargain. And when I discovered I could buy items from china at 20% or less of the price I paid in Australia, I decided I had to try it.

I made some purchases from dress-wholesale.com and wholesale-order.com and I definitely plan to buy through them again in future. However it was a learning experience, so I thought I'd write a short guide on what to expect and the best ways to order through these two sites.

You do get what you pay for, but you can also get some fantastic bargains, which are great whether you plan to resell them online or just use them yourself.

I've found that making a mass order with friends also helps to bring down the costs and increase discounts on items, too.

Although this site was sometimes difficult to navigate, I found their customer service fantastic. Although some items were not available, they were quick to offer me replacements or refunds. I received the items within 10 days of placing my order with no hassles.

• Most items only came in one size, which in western sizes is small or extra small.
• Some items were completely different to the item I ordered.
• Most clothing items ranged from $7 through to $25.

I absolutely loved the range at this site, and although I had some issues with my first order (it took 8 weeks to receive, after a paypal dispute), my second order had no issues.

• Huge range - everything from jewelry through to lingerie, male and female clothing and accessories.
• Quality ranged widely - Some items were high quality bargains for the price, others were quite poor.
• Any refunds go onto a store credit instead of back to you. You also receive store credits for a percentage of orders over a certain price.
• Most clothing and lingerie ranged from $7-$14 with heavier jackets ranging from $20-$30. Jewelry and accessories varied between 25c and $5.

Although you can get some amazing bargains, there are some tips and tricks to maximising the deals you get.

• You get what you pay for. Although some items are very high quality, others are not.
• Pay with Paypal. Paypal allows up to 45 days to dispute a transaction if there is a problem with your order.
• Use a Translator. On dress-wholesale some parts of the site were in Chinese. I had to use Google Translate to translate.
• Expect bad English. Although I found the customer service emails very polite and helpful, it was obvious that English was a second language. Some parts were a little hard to understand.
• Check the Sizes. Although many items are listed by size, it's important to check the measurements. Most sizes listed were a lot smaller than similar sizes in Australia. If you're tall, overweight or have big feet, chances are the clothes and shoes either won't fit or will be short - you've been warned!

It's a tie between wholesale-order and dress-wholesale. Although wholesale-order has high postage they also have a much wider range of items.

I'll probably stick to dress-wholesale for clothing items and use wholesale-order for accessories and jewelry.
