DHgate Order LI003817915CN Stuck at Istanbul PKIM

December 30, 2025 10:33 AM27

I am experiencing a serious issue regarding my customs shipment ordered from China through DHgate, with PTT tracking number LI003817915CN.

In previous orders from the same site involving customs fees, the package was delivered to my home, and I was able to pay the customs fee at the door and receive my item. However, this time the same process was not followed. My package was held at Kocaeli PKIM and then returned to Istanbul Arnavutköy PKIM.

On the 29th, I submitted a written petition stating that I would personally pick up the item from Kocaeli, yet the package was not delivered to me, and I have not received any clear information about the process. When I contacted Istanbul PKIM, I was told that the package was held by customs and that there was nothing I could do. No assistance was provided.

As with my previous shipments, I am requesting either that the package be delivered to my address so I can pay the customs fee upon delivery, or that I be allowed to pick it up in person from Istanbul PKIM. I want this issue resolved before the item is returned and before my inconvenience increases further.

DHgate Released Payment to Seller for Undelivered Order

January 17 1:36 PM35

"Friends, I'm sharing this for those who experience the same situation: my money was refunded months later. I had filed a spending dispute with Ziraat Bank. Meanwhile, the shipment was waiting at customs. When I called customs, I was told that China had not accepted the shipment and that it would be destroyed after a certain period. Still, I trusted that the bank would defend me because the PTT records clearly showed that I had not received it. After two months without any response, I called the bank to ask. I was told that because China did not accept it, the matter could go beyond the bank and I would need to file a lawsuit. However, if I hadn't been informed about the PTT issue, I wouldn't have known the outcome could be negative. I applied to the Consumer Arbitration Board. I shared the necessary receipt and PDF information. I stated that Ziraat Bank had not defended me properly. As a result, within just a few days, DHgate refunded my money. I learned that a spending dispute can be resolved within 3 to 6 months, but I don't know whether it was the bank or the Consumer Arbitration Board that made it happen. I am very pleased and happy that my country has the right to file complaints, petitions, and appeals and that they are protected. I thank my country's legal system very, very much. I thank the Consumer Arbitration Board a lot. I also extend my thanks to Ziraat Bank despite everything."
