Economic Choice Goods review for Auto DS: #1 Dropshipping & POD

July 18, 2024

My experience with AutoDS has been overwhelmingly negative due to a variety of issues related to cost, hidden fees, and poor customer support. Cost Issues: High Subscription Costs: The platform requires users to pay substantial monthly or yearly subscription fees. Even with these payments, many essential features remain locked behind additional paywalls. Additional Charges: Key features like AI rewrites of product descriptions and automatic order fulfillment require purchasing additional tokens. This makes the overall cost of using AutoDS significantly higher than initially expected. Managed Balance Requirements: Users must maintain a managed balance to cover each order. In my case, I was charged over ten times the cost of a product due to various hidden fees. These fees are mentioned in the agreement but are buried deep, making them easy to overlook until it’s too late. Customer Support: Automated and Unhelpful: The customer support chat is primarily AI-driven, directing users to submit tickets without providing meaningful assistance. When I sought clarification about the overcharge, the response was dismissive, citing "taxes and fees" without providing a detailed breakdown. Non-Refundable Balances: None of the balances on the platform are refundable, turning it into a money pit with so many hidden costs and fees that maintaining competitive pricing is nearly impossible unless you sell at a loss. Conclusion: Due to the combination of high costs, hidden fees, and inadequate customer support, I cannot recommend AutoDS to anyone. It has proven to be an unsustainable and frustrating experience.
