We are brand new to creating websites, web hosting, and finding actual wholesale products. Working out of our home, drop shipping was most feasible. So we inquired about DOBA.
Soon I i receive a phone call from a nice young man telling me that "THEY" will design my website just as I want it AND then I would have access to tens of thousands of products; all I needed to do was click on the photo which would transfer the image and description to my webpage and I would establish the price I wished to charge. They shipped, billed and sent the "profit " to me! By signing with them ($39.95 today and $29.95 each month), I would get a three month membership to DOBA. Additionally, I would get my own "Marketing consultant" to help me after they built my website-in three days.
By then it was about 8PM ; I was tired but willing to give it a try. So... And this is so important! I gave him my major, well known credit card information for the $39.95 and asked that the web builder call me at 10AM the next day - Saturday Morning.
Saturday, 10 am, I was ready to start, by 11-no call so I called their #- spoke to voice mail. Rec'd a call about noon... They are on MOUNTAIN time! I'm in Florida with my Saturday morning wasted. But as soon as Daryl arrives, he'll call. I waited all day! It seems NO ONE is in the office on weekends! THEN I find that this DOBA would cost and additional $30. A month after the 3 month trial! THEN - I find the website they build could not be transferred to another host if I was unhappy with their "vendors" and customer service... And by now I was.
So I asked to cancel and return my money - emailed that request on two occassions. The second time Patrick emailed back to say they could not do that BUT when I filed my taxes I could deduct it as a business expense!!! When I stopped laughing, I called my credit card company and had no problem getting the charge removed... ALWAYS pay with a credit card, these are small time jackels and they do not return your money easily!
I was not ripped off for money BUT I lost precious hours of my time. This is a great site and I will use it. SOMEWHERE, I will successfully find the help and products I need to do this!
