Luscious Skin Care review for Auto DS: #1 Dropshipping & POD

March 19, 2024

Adding an extra star for Dorina, who has been extremely attentive and helpful. Still, heed my warning, no matter who you signup with: 1- Nothing is "automatic." 2- Expect problems. & there are exceptions to everything. 3- Don't believe a word of marketing, esp. Shopify's drivel (trust me, I worked in Marketing for a few companies and wrote this stuff). 4- ChatGPT 4 is excellent at generating apology emails to customers. 5- Thank the heavens I haven't started marketing my site yet. I guess, deep down, I knew to expect issues. And wow... was I right. I'll continue to adjust star ratings as things progress. ----- Pure, buggy garbage. Can I give it 0 stars? Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Half my orders end up in "error" state, and when I ask why, I get the standard ".... the order was cancelled by the supplier or customer (whatever that means)," and/or "we have no control over anything" (that much is clear). If (and this is rare) an order actually ships, the shipping times are pretty abysmal. There is literally no useful support. In summary, a lot of big promises, and massive under delivery. I'm actively trying to find a competent replacement, but my fear is that this is as good as it gets (which leads to bigger questions about "the side hustle." Who is this really benefitting anyway?... hmmm..."). Shopify and AutoDS have turned my initial excitement and exuberance into a daily, dread-filled check of my email and Shopify balance, followed by a slew of apology emails to customers and discount codes they'll probably never user, because their initial experience was so poor (and so out of my control). I would do anything to start over again with a completely different infrastructure. I can't believe I'm going to have to start PAYING these people money soon, unless I just pull the plug, of course.
