CJDropshipping AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!
On a 'certain platform' I sell only two items of theirs (due to prices, competition etc). Item #1: Sold seven of these until a customer returned theirs - to me at my expense as per platform's auto-acceptance of return request. Reason = specs were not what CJ's merchant stated in the description. My application for a refund was knee-jerk refused with 'Correct item sent'. FOUR weeks on and I'm still awaiting an escalated resolution. Item #2: Three of these. The first of these was completely wrong item and took two weeks before they received the correct one - I had to re-order that one. The second unit sold has not even been despatched after TWELVE days yet CJ order page states 'Completed'. All in the space of four months. Conclusion: Two items listed for ten orders total with a 3/10 failure rate. Too much hassle and apologising to my customers AND I'm out of pocket though using 'Chronic Jerky Dropshipping'. Those for whom it works: Good for you. For the rest of us however, I wonder how many horror stories are out there though from people who've just given up and abandoned them and in my case, LOST money! Update: 20th Sept: Tried to synchronise an order only to find that the very same item had conveniently disappeared from availability (previously 100 in stock) - with paying for two over as many weeks and NOT ONE has been despatched. My ID? Certainly = CJ3297045 Orders: Aug 28th Dispute Order Number: SH1828814352934244352 The order itself of course was much earlier! UK voltage 220-240v wattage is 1.5-1.8 Kw and NOT 1Kw as in description (That would be 110v for N. America). Therefore 'Not as described' and my customer filed a dispute. 22nd Sept still no refund. Next customer - DP24090708291409635001 CJ shows completed but tracking JJD0002210674900945 was checked - Yodel never received it. CJ agent: 'Sorry sir, scan issues' - 14 days and still no delivery! Next customer - DP24091311521309792001 with very same item still 'pending' since 13th Sept. Now this evening I try to synchronise an order - yes same item. Guess what, it has conveniently disappeared from CJ despite previous stock level of 100. EXACTLY the same issues as illustrated in those YouTube videos Yet more apologies to my customers and my reputation on the platform (it's ebay by the way) is shattered. FOUR orders out of eleven in total is worse than abysmal. I amend my 'Trade at your own risk' to: AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! Five star reviews are clearly fake (I won't even trust FOUR stars either). After tonight, changed my two stars to minimum. A pity that ZERO stars is not possible. Don't take my word for it though, plenty of evidence here too - youtube.com /watch?v=gWO9kobS4hE and innumerable other videos.
