First of all, to clarify my situation, I am disabled and am on a very fixed income that I receive from Social Security. I have to save all year in order to give my family a nice Christmas, which is always celebrated at my home with my children and their families, parents, sisters and brothers along with their families. It takes me all year in order to save up $1200.
In September of I spent months putting together my own website, selling products that I love. I registered my company and got a reseller's license. My problem was that most of the products that I wanted to sell, the wholesalers had a minimum of $2,000 that I had to spend on product and I would have to order quantity and do all the shipping myself. I was frustrated because I do not have a warehouse or the financing to order such quantities. I wanted a wholesaler who also provided dropshipping.
In November of I went online to research out wholesalers who also did dropshipping. I found Simplx! I had numerous conversations with Kade Opfar, fully explaining my situation, and that I was looking for specific wholesale items that I wanted to put on my website. Kade assured me that their were 72 wholesalers that had the product that I was looking for. He expained how Simplx worked and that by investing $1,100. I would have access to 60 million products, that I would be given an ebay powerseller as a coach, and that there were 4 different ways to make money using their system.By accessing the ebay powerseller, Kade told me that most of their clients were making a minimum of $200. Per day and that was just one of their methods. He also told me that I could receive a 0 refund if I was not satisfied. I was excited to get started and was assured that help was just a phone call away.
I quickly made arrangements through paypal to get the money to Simplx. It was every last dime that I had. I wanted to get started immediately. It took about a week to fill out paperwork, fax it over, and wait on their response. I finally received all my info, password, and so on. I sat down at my computer and started going through all the materials. I was getting more and more livid by the minute. I called back Kade to complain about the program, and he told me to just wait and speak with the ebay coach first. It then took another week before I was finally able to talk with a coach. What a joke!
They did not have One Single Wholesaler. What they did have was a list of established companies like Target, Walmart, Sears, Macy's and so on that their sister site digitaldropship.com had affiliate connections with so that they could make the commissions through commission junction, linkshare, performa, etc. They would kick back a small percentage of money to me if I sold any of their products (Way 3 of making money with their company). But all of the products were already at full price.
The eBay powerseller tried to walk me through how to find products online and then auction them off on ebay. All the products were already at full price.
I finally decided that I wanted my money back. This was not at all what they told me it was. After a run around with the company... They put me in contact with Jake (801-806-0021) who was in charge of refunds and cancellations. He told me that I had to cancel within 3 days of signing up in order to get a refund. It took a week to get my materials. How was I supposed to call back within 3 days. I was now even more livid.
I contacted PayPal and filled out a dispute with them, and they basically told me that they back the seller and would not help me.
In the meantime, Christmas was a week away, I had no gifts, no food to feed all these people, and ended up with the most humiliating Christmas that I have ever had. Everyone had to bring food, and I did not have a gift for anyone, which has not happened to me ever, and I am 50 years old.
I still have not received my money back, which I believe that I am entitled to. Plus, I would like to sue them for the $200 a day that they said that I would be making. I am so discouraged over these dropshipping companies that are rated so high on the internet and are nothing more than a scam. People need to be aware of what is out there and do thorough research on any company that they are sending money to. No one will even help me.
