I joined Doba’s paid plan to work with a specific supplier listed on their platform. At the time, the supplier listed on Doba stated that they ship orders using trusted carriers like FedEx. That was a key reason I moved forward with my business. But when orders were placed, they didn’t ship the way they said they would. The situation impacted me both financially and operationally. I contacted Doba support and explained the issue respectfully. They acknowledged the concern and told me they would escalate it to the supplier. They also said they would follow up with me as soon as they received a response. It’s been nearly 2 months. No update from the supplier. I never received any reply from Doba. Even more frustrating, I later checked the supplier page and found that the shipping policy had been quietly changed. It now states: “Shipments will be handled according to the supplier’s chosen method.” No heads-up. No answers. No ownership. If you're thinking about using Doba based on what they promise about their suppliers or shipping, just make sure to double-check everything before you commit. What’s written in the listing might not reflect how the process really works when it matters. Doba told me they'd follow up after contacting the supplier. But nearly two months have passed, and I haven’t received a single reply. Not even a one-line update. That silence alone speaks volumes.
Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about the frustration and disruption this situation has caused you. Your feedback highlights exactly the type of issue we aim to prevent, and we deeply regret falling short in this case. We completely understand how important it is for suppliers to deliver on what’s promised — especially when it comes to shipping methods and timelines. What you described is not the level of service we strive to uphold. Please know that behind the scenes, we are actively working to improve transparency and accountability on our platform. This includes: 1. Stricter vetting of supplier shipping policies to ensure they align with what’s listed on their pages. 2. Enhanced monitoring by our customer support and supplier management teams to track unresolved escalations like yours. 3. Ongoing review of listing content, including clear disclosures when supplier policies change, so merchants aren’t caught off guard. We genuinely appreciate your patience and feedback — it helps us do better. Doba customer service team

Doba makes it so complicated to use a prepay plan, so that I am not getting charged 2 times for using a credit card. I am getting charged through my stripe account when the customer uses their credit card and then a second time through Doba. When I asked for help setting this up, they would not help me.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we completely understand how frustrating this must have been, especially when it feels like no one is there to help — that’s understandably disappointing. Just to share, Doba’s credit card payments are supported by Stripe, a secure and widely used payment platform. If you ran into any setup issues, we’d love to help you sort them out. If you ever run into setup issues, our online chat support is here to help in real-time, or you can always email us at [email protected] — we’ll make sure you get the guidance you need. Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us do better. Doba customer service team

There is no option to put in an FPO address, with no FPO option there is no way for me to use the platform. Called Customer Services and was on the phone for 2 hours to try to fix the issue and was not able to add the address. I kept getting told that they would call me back in 24 hours with an answer. I had to ask for an hour to talk to a manager, then the manager told me that she would talk to the billing department and was going to call me in 24 hours. I told them that I have not been able to use the platform because of this and requested a refund and was told that the manager could not do it and had to ask the billing department to do it and was not sure if it was possible.

A couple of absolutely necessary features: 1. Auto-fulfillment option. Once an order is placed, I would like Shopify to automatically send the order to the Doba App and then autopay via my credit card on file. 2. The ability to have items from my own store in the cart along with Doba-provided items in the order. 3. Fix the issue with canceling orders that are placed via Shopify
Hello DoubleWave, Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the features you’d like to see! Currently, orders can indeed be automatically sent from Shopify to the Doba App. However, auto-payment is not yet available. After evaluating this internally, we found that automatic payments come with certain risks. For now, you can conveniently batch pay for orders in the "Pending Payments" section. As for combining your store’s items with Doba-sourced products, this can be done by linking the products in your Shopify backend to Doba items, enabling you to batch process orders. For items not linked to Doba, they unfortunately can't be sourced directly from Doba, and we appreciate your understanding. We sincerely appreciate your suggestions and will continue working to optimize the Doba experience. Thank you for being a valued user! Best regards, The Doba Team

Sellers are not serious at all I used to love using Doba but not recently I have been running into all types of issues from shipping orders with Walmart packaging to shipping fewer quantities than what I paid for which made me chase the seller for 2 weeks and ended up with requesting a refund. when it comes to cost most sellers have high prices than the market itself so not really a good fit for dropshipping. will be switching to better platforms soon

BEWARE!! YOU CANT MAKE MONEY! Almost every item on here is priced at or ABOVE retail price. I even found suppliers listing their prices on Doba higher than they sell it to consumers for. The only way you can make money is if your customers do not do any sort of product research before buying... Research shows, "90% of consumers research products before buying them online. The report also found that while 79% of customers consider price to be the most important factor to research before purchasing an item online".
Thank you for your review! My name is Whitney and I am the Head of the Customer relations department at Doba. While not every product has a large profit margin due to the suppliers listing the items on our site at their own prices, there are many products on Doba that you can make money off of. We have many retailers that make their sole income from selling Doba items on sites like eBay and Amazon. We have a team that does create curated lists of high profit items along with monthly, quarterly, and yearly sales where our suppliers offer 5%-10% off the original pricing. And if you go to our site there is a tab titled High Profit that offers products with 20% margins. Finding items that sell the best are different for every person, and can sometimes take time to find the items to profit off of. I do see that you just signed up for our site yesterday. We encourage all users who sign up for our 30 day free trial to explore our extensive catalog of 300,000 products. Many users spend the duration of their free trial carefully researching and selecting products to find profitable products to list on their selling sites. My support team's main goal is to help our free trial users connect their store, find products to sell, listing those items and getting at least one sale before the 30 day free trial ends. We are happy to help you learn how to sell our Doba items. Feel free to contact us via email: [email protected]
