Clothing Personality review for Auto DS: AI Dropshipping & POD

Dec. 21, 2024

1. Charged $390.16 for usage during FREE trial period 2. Possibly some FAKE 5-star Auto-DS reviews: after writing this review, we noticed lots of short, 5-star reviews, claiming complete satisfaction and ease of use. 3. MONTHLY plan billed annually so we were told that meant no refund for unused months or login capability if cancelled. That's unlawful unjust enrichment. 4. Only got 14 products to sell: claimed variations of the 14 products counted towards 500-product plan limit. Unlawful bait and switch. 5. Fake or inaccurate product supply numbers. Most products were out of stock right after being listed, requiring daily inventory management and daily new product searching. Time wasted. 6. Made $0.00 the entire time from 9/13/24 to 11/29/24. 7. High-priced shipping for even lightweight items the entire time we were using the platform so prices weren't impacted by recent strikes, new tariffs, etc. 8. Low inventory and miminal listing-worthy options from U.S. Suppliers in our niche. Mainly China-based suppliers so most had 14 to 21 day shipping times. Auto-DS ad said differently. 9. Lots of non-wholesale prices 10. 1,000 (and counting) emails re: out of stock/price changes. 11. Inability to unsubscribe from emails once canceled. 12. Had to agree to a new plan for same time frame to access app again once we canceled. 13. Repeated login issues before the cancelation. 14. Confusing pricing tools: Lots of pricing errors that would've sold trending products at a loss had we had a sale from allegedly trending products. 15. No unique or "scroll-stopping" products in niche. 16. Hidden fees (i.e.the need for additional "credits" on top of in-app charges and monthly subscription) to fulfill the orders. 17. App was hard to use. 18. Still required more apps to compete. 19. Shall I repeat: we made no sales from 9/13/24 through 11/29/24. 20. Pricing analysis and strategies for individual products were hard to find. 21. Limited, argumentative, and/or belligerent support re: a refund until their manager saw this app review. 22. Lots of known issues 23. There were OUTDATED help topics and tutorials. There are more issues that we encountered but we can't list them all. We tried to stick it out as long as we could to make our money back and to see if the advertised hype and ads by affiliates were accurate. We just couldn't take these issues anymore. Business to business, we tried to discuss some of these issues BEFORE writing this awfully negative review. Update: After declining a partial refund or months "free" (we had already paid for a whole year) and mentorship, they initially refused to refund us fully until this review. We have since received all of our money back. Previously, one support person had also threatened to charge more if we didn't uninstall the app. Rest assured, uninstalling the app was ONE thing that worked except for the emailing issues listing above. We decline their offer for free months and mentorship because this app isn't cost-effective, intuitive, limited-staff friendly, niche-rich in products, or customer-support friendly.
