The Calm Boutique review for Syncee Collective Dropshipping
Aug. 10, 2024
Syncee provided horrible customer service. It's a small team if you look at their website. When I had my issue, I kept asking them to escalate. Basically, they passed me off to their friend 2 times (Sarah -> Peter -> Richard). When I asked to speak with the CEO AKOS Gulyas, they told me no. I reached out to Akos directly on Linkedin; no response. If you are selling baby or pet toys, or women's sports bras, maybe this company will work for you. I am creating a website using a niche market. The company advertised that they have distributors/ dropshippers that sell my products. I paid for a year in advance to take advantage of the discounted pricing, as I was looking forward to a long-term relationship with this company. As I started to build my website, and reach out to the various vendors, I discovered that the vendors are no longer in business or do not reply to my emails (bait and switch). I asked Syncee for a refund of the subscription as I was unable to get a vendor to work with. They said the policy is NO REFUNDS but they would look into my situation. Syncee blamed me for paying in advance and said that I should have canceled within the 14 day cancellation period. This is something that I discovered after building my website. So basically the company is promoting that they have vendors to sell your niche product, but the vendors are no longer in business. This is false advertising and a scam. Unfortunately, the company is NOT based in the US but based in Hungary so you can't pursue any legal action. They have good reviews (might be legit or a bot) but them refusing to refund me $288 because they don't properly vet their vendors is sad. Horrible experience and I would not use this company if you are selling a niche. They don't care that they are stealing your money. This should have been a no-brainer to refund me my money. Looking at other negative reviews, many of them are very similar to my situation. Sad experience for a new business owner.
Hi there, We’re sorry to hear about your experience, nevertheless please let us clarify a few points. 1. We offer a free plan where you can explore the platform, as well as a 14-day trial on our monthly plans to help you decide if Syncee is right for you. The yearly subscription comes with a significant discount but doesn’t include a trial, which is clearly stated upfront. 2. Our support team followed the proper escalation process, and your case was evaluated by a dedicated finance team. It wasn’t a matter of passing your issue between friends. 3. Since you subscribed and accepted our policies, your request for a refund was rejected. This decision was made because you actively used the app, and the products are still available in your store. 4. Our suppliers are vetted and monitored regularly, but we can’t control their communication. However, when issues are reported, we investigate and take necessary actions. In case of any further questions, please reach out to our support team via chat or email.
