Oak And Honey review for Spocket: USA & EU Dropshipping

July 29, 2022

Launched our Shopify store about 1 month ago and added Spocket to import items from Aliexpress to our Shopify store using the AliScraper add-on. We have had nothing but issues from the first order: 1. Unit cost imported by Spocket does not match the supplier cost from Aliexpress resulting in me being charged more than the customer paid for several items. Customer service has not resolved this issue even though there has been a tech support ticket open for over 2 weeks. When I asked for a refund of the difference Spocket paid to the supplier versus what Spocket charged me this is the exact quoted response from Manny in customer service "Clearly there is a problem from the very beginning, and it was reported and our tech team has been trying to fix it. but it doesn't mean price adjustments will be automatically be shouldered by Spocket. The products that have price mismatches never should have been uploaded to your store for purchase to begin with." MY CUSTOMERS HAD ALREADY PLACED ORDERS BEFORE THE DISCREPANCY WAS FOUND! Am I supposed to close my store and still pay for your unusable service while you fix your tech issues? 2. The supplier's return policy does not import to Spocket from Aliexpress. If you try to perform a return for your customer in accordance with the Aliexpress supplier return policy Spocket will tell you the item is not returnable. This is completely unacceptable. We have spent dozens of hours finding suppliers who have a return policy that allows our customers at least 7 days to return an item only for Spocket to deny the return. Because Spocket is the "buyer" there is no record of your store making a purchase from the supplier! 3. Product variants, prices, details, sizes, colors, photos, etc. do not import correctly. You will have to manually update EVERY product pushed to your store. Be sure to account for shipping costs as those are not imported correctly either. 4. The suppliers and inventory on Spocket are terrible. These are the same items found on Aliexpress with a huge markup making it impossible to sell at a competitive amount. I have not found 1 item to import to my store from the Spocket suppliers. This is our experience with about a month's usage of the app. It has literally been one issue after another! We are currently looking for an alternative and can not wait to migrate to a new platform as soon as possible.
