AliExpress Alibaba Temu Oberlo

Unfortunately, you can't view their products without a paid subscription.

I was stuck for two days trying to fix my store, then I found Alidrop. Literally saved me. It organized my products, helped me get things moving, and now my store looks like an actual shop and not a mess . Definitely keeping it. Alidrop has been solid for me!

I recently started using AliDrop and so far I’m really enjoying it. The app is easy to navigate, and I like how simple it is to browse products and explore different options for my store. The product importing process is also convenient and saves a lot of time compared to doing everything manually. I’m still exploring all the features, but my experience so far has been very positive. Looking forward to using it more as I continue building my store!

I was looking for apps with POD and also Dropshipping. Since the beginning of August, I wrote several emails asking whether they offered musical products and which ones had warehouses in Europe or faster delivery mechanisms. However, the only reply I received was that I should install the app myself, search for the products, and check them one by one.

So, I installed the app on August 14th. On that very same day, I verified that the product prices were the same—or even higher—than the prices these same merchants were selling directly to end customers in Europe. In other words, a producer was directly competing with the retailer. This is called unfair competition and should not be allowed on Shopify.

I come from a family of entrepreneurs, going back to my great-grandfather. People who traded internationally. My father planned and built one of the country’s largest chemical industries, and he always had different prices for end consumers and retailers—sometimes as low as 1% of the retail price. Everyone benefited. He sold to retailers almost at cost price. For example, he could sell a product at €0.01/liter, and then retailers (all of them) would sell to end consumers at €5/liter. Everyone had their role. Each person did what they knew best.

When someone wants to capture everything for themselves, besides being legally considered “unfair competition,” it is simply unethical. In my opinion, such an app should not be on a platform alongside other sellers. Shopify should evaluate what is best for the sellers, always aiming at the greater good, for society, for healthy balance.

I also learned this from my mother. Once, I asked her why she never shopped at the same place (supermarket or elsewhere), and she answered: “To distribute the money among everyone.” That is the role, above all, of people who are truly rich—in spirit.

Although I immediately uninstalled the app, I later saw in my bank statement that they still charged me. I also received an email with a “shady business offer,” giving me two options where they would not refund my money, but instead tried to push me into continuing business with them. I am not interested—neither now nor ever. People without honor do not deserve trust. I only lose €100 once.

Perhaps this is the very reason why TEMU cannot establish itself in the market: lack of trust.

My mistake was installing an app that claimed to represent the strongest Chinese companies. I believe they are as much retailers as I am on Shopify. Therefore, I also believe that their only goal is to profit from the app fees, not to actually do business.

Interestingly, I have just read that the app was developed in Dubai. That would explain a lot…

paid for it and it does not work

tried to charge me after I cancelled. It charged me 4x more than the actual plan. Scam app.

It seems like a scam - I opened this through shopify and it redirected me through a page where they offer this for $1/month. And they are asking for credit card information - shopify never asks for your credit card details when add a new app.

Charged me randomly. just sketchy in general.

IS only AliExpress not Alibaba or Temu

Easy to use. Lots of products to choose from. Easy integration with my store.
