AutoDS: AI Dropshipping & POD

Its alright. So far I have had issues with sourcing request and creating a smooth system flow.

Easy to use, great concept, however very poor customer service and issue resolution. Only 2 orders, and not one processed properly through their autoservice. Customer service took days to resolve and was barely ever available to solve real issues I had. If I had a high volume of orders I don't know what I would do! They are killed my shipping times with all the delays and I've already refunded one customer, thankfully they got the second order out but barely in enough time. I was given a free month however I didn't have a chance to place an order within that time so only time can tell.

SO FAR SO BETTER AND WILL UPDATE AS I USE IT MORE...THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOLLOWED UP BUT I SOLVED IT PRIOR. I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE HELPED ME THEN BUT I WILL USE IT THEN UPDATE BUT I LIKE IT SO FAR!

Adding another star, almost entirely for Dorina, who has helped me so much. Without her, I'd never be able to process a basic order. Thank you Dorina!

Adding an extra star for Dorina, who has been extremely attentive and helpful.

Still, heed my warning, no matter who you signup with:

1- Nothing is "automatic."
(!New!) 1a- Orders cancelled by suppliers with no notice or reason given.
2- Expect problems. & there are exceptions to everything.
3- Don't believe a word of marketing, esp. Shopify's drivel (trust me, I worked in Marketing for a few companies and wrote this stuff).
4- ChatGPT 4 is excellent at generating apology emails to customers.
5- Thank the heavens I haven't started marketing my site yet. I guess, deep down, I knew to expect issues. And wow... was I right.

I'll continue to adjust star ratings as things progress.

Pure, buggy garbage. Can I give it 0 stars?

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Half my orders end up in "error" state, and when I ask why, I get the standard ".... the order was cancelled by the supplier or customer (whatever that means)," and/or "we have no control over anything" (that much is clear). If (and this is rare) an order actually ships, the shipping times are pretty abysmal. There is literally no useful support.

In summary, a lot of big promises, and massive under delivery. I'm actively trying to find a competent replacement, but my fear is that this is as good as it gets (which leads to bigger questions about "the side hustle." Who is this really benefitting anyway?... hmmm...").

Shopify and AutoDS have turned my initial excitement and exuberance into a daily, dread-filled check of my email and Shopify balance, followed by a slew of apology emails to customers and discount codes they'll probably never user, because their initial experience was so poor (and so out of my control).

I would do anything to start over again with a completely different infrastructure. I can't believe I'm going to have to start PAYING these people money soon, unless I just pull the plug, of course.

The app seems to have everything, but I don't have any true directions on how to automate everything, and being my first time, it is really difficult to navigate. There is no one available for the live chat to help, I need help with this process.

Auto order needs to be faster, other then that all perfect

Update #3 (17th Nov)
Uninstalled this horrid piece of software, it could not work out if things were in stock or not on Banggood UK. After spending far too long proving to support that it was their issue and not mine, I gave up and spent more time looking for an alternative, I've found it, moved to it and it just works. AutoDS might work for more basic stores but for me it was a waste of time, money and sales. Also, that $266 price increase rubbish, thanks for all the strikes I got every time your app could not work out stuff was in stock and the price on my platforms shot through the roof, appreciate that.

Update #2 (27th April)
I've been testing out the app and by and large it seems to be working out, a couple of minor issues that are being looked into, but the most important part for me was that I could re-link my existing products back to their supplier (no one wants to recreate hundreds of listings again) this is working pretty much as it should so I'm happy :)

Update:
I've just has a long chat with Lior from AutoDS who called me later the same day after my review, starting Tue 20th / Wed 21st April '21 they will be adding support for EU/UK warehouses on AliExpress and Banggood. For me personally this will be a big deal as AutoDS is the closest replacement to ShopMaster, I look forward to giving it a try and all I shall update my review after some testing to let you all know how it goes.

Original Review:
Looks good and feature packed, lack of interest in supporting non US/China warehouses meant it was not suitable for my business model. Would reconsider in the future if support was added.

Good but it’s a littet bit complicadet. I i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i. I i i

system is ok .. not the best but it works.. i need tech support and Kristine via chat help me really fast and efficiently. thank you Kristine will give 5 stars .. i gave 3 stars because the system need lots of improvement..

I haven't had much opportunity to use it in actually dropshipping because the steps you have to take to get to that point forces you to write a review. I was trying to move products from a store I had made before downloading and the beginner guide buttons were getting in the way. It's very in your face, not that I think that was on purpose it's just you can't move it out of the way. You can still upload other products without dealing with the widget.
