DropShipping AI ‑ AppScenic

This is John, a dropshipper from Sydney, Australia. I would like to share my honest review of Appscenic, based on my experience as a seller on eBay.

First, the customer support at Appscenic is friendly but lacks professionalism. Even for simple inquiries, a ticket needs to be submitted, and sometimes it takes 1-3 days to get a response. There were instances where it took 2-3 days, especially if the issue arose during the weekend. This was very inconvenient, especially in urgent situations that require immediate assistance.

Another significant issue I encountered is that some of Appscenic’s suppliers do not allow returns. I was unaware of this, and none of my peers knew about it either. You need to carefully check the return policies for each supplier.

From my perspective as a dropshipper, it’s crucial to get quick and professional support in urgent situations. However, Appscenic's customer support seems to lack the necessary expertise. Simple questions require a ticket to be issued, and responses can take up to 24 hours or even 3 days, depending on the situation. This leads to a lot of frustration, and ultimately, it can affect profitability.

By comparison, other platforms like CJdropshipping offer responses in 2–5 minutes with detailed guidance and chat support, which is a stark contrast to the delays I experienced with Appscenic.

Regarding the biggest issue I encountered: I recently listed Christmas decorations from Vida XL (a supplier on Appscenic) on eBay. After my buyer received the product, they noticed a significant difference between the photos on Appscenic and the actual item. They filed a return claim on eBay, which was accepted. I requested pictures from the buyer, and the situation seemed valid, especially since these were decorations, and the quality difference was apparent.

I decided to offer a free return to the buyer and contacted Appscenic to initiate the return process. As always, Appscenic required me to submit a ticket. After 2-3 days, I received an email from Vida XL, stating that they no longer accept returns in the U.S. I was shocked. In today’s world, it’s hard to believe that some suppliers don’t allow returns.

Despite this, I honored my promise to the buyer and offered a free return. The buyer was surprised by Vida XL’s refusal to accept returns and thanked me for handling the return on my own.

However, here’s where it gets even more confusing: I later found that on Syncee, Vida XL allows returns within 14 days. I had just received an email from Appscenic stating that Vida XL US does not accept returns, so this left me feeling very confused.

Why does Vida XL have different return policies depending on the platform? This is a major concern. If we can’t even rely on consistent return policies, which platform should we trust?

I’m sharing this review along with the emails I received from Appscenic about Vida XL’s no-return policy, as well as the information from Syncee about the 14-day return policy.

This is my honest feedback.

* sorry. I can't attach the images here.

This app seemed great at first. It was simple to use. However, I soon found thatl all of the items that I added to my store had zero available inventory (basically within hours of adding) causing me to lose many hours of work. I then found none of the quality products that I was searching for were available. They will not refund my money, even though I only accessed the app for a brief period and I have none of their products on my store. Also, you cannot view the products until after you pay for a plan.
