Shopify Collective

we pay the price for errors of other suppliers, not fair.

they are getting the job done. Wish shipping was a little faster to customers but everything else is a+.

The way to find suppliers is so difficult - sometimes I feel like I can find really good stuf, and then I go a while without being able to find anything. It makes it really hard.

The Collective program in my opinion is the best thing to happen to retail since the internet and it levels the playing field of e-commerce if done properly, happy selling! Peter STORE 7994

I’ve experienced several issues with different distributors that have resulted in being charged taxes twice. Because of this, I made no profit on some sales, and on one order I actually lost money. When I import products, Collective shows that I will make a certain profit. However, after the order is placed, I’m automatically charged taxes twice, along with additional shipping costs that were not disclosed beforehand. As a result, the final costs are higher than the expected profit shown during the import process. Collective should address this issue by providing accurate cost estimates upfront and ensuring that all taxes and additional charges are clearly displayed before products are imported or sold. Otherwise, sellers can end up losing money on orders they believed would be profitable.

Overall it is great and simplifies product research. Only issue is many products you have to ask for margins and permission to add to your store, though small price to pay for the ease.
