BrandsGateway‑Fashion Dropship

We had a disappointing experience with BrandsGateway's dropshipping service and are compelled to share concerns:
-Brand Authorization: We received communication from a legal team representing a major brand questioning the inclusion of their products that we listed from BrandsGateway. This raises serious questions about the legitimacy of their operation.
-Return Costs: We discovered discrepancies in the charges for returned items. The sum total was calculated to be thousands of dollars of overcharging. When we presented evidence of overcharging across multiple returns, the company's response was unsatisfactory.
-Inventory Issues: The available inventory often lacked popular sizes and seemed to consist mainly of less desirable items. With many sellers offering the same products, achieving profitability is extremely challenging. 
-Marketing Practices: A BrandsGateway representative informed us that a large majority (90%) of their dropshippers are not successful. This information contrasts sharply with their marketing materials.  Based on our experience, we have concerns about the accuracy of the success stories promoted by the company. There are already a lot of embellished and exaggerated marketing practices in the dropshipping industry, and we believe BrandsGateway is no exception.

We strongly advise potential users to thoroughly research and consider alternative suppliers before engaging with this service. Additionally, I recommend verifying the legality of selling specific brands through any dropshipping service to avoid potential legal issues. Our experience with BrandsGateway and its management was deeply unsatisfactory, and we cannot recommend their services based on our interactions and the issues we encountered.

Extreamly OVERPRICED FEES AND ITEMS. Just do a simple google search of any product title they have, you will find many retail websites selling the same products for lower or equal to the the price they give it to you to resale. And you don't even have to pay any expensive monthly fees they charge. How can we possible compete with all those retail website and make money? This company is a sham. Very disappointed. The worse waste of money I ever made. Never again, lesson learned.

I dont recommend the beginners choose this to do. First, their price per is too high 295$ per month is crazy. Secondly, I did some research about the price, the price of their products now is approximately equal to market, you can not make much profit with that price even you can get lost with their package. Third, they are full of products that are difficult to sell, outdated products. If they give 1$ trial month, I will consider

I do not recommend it. Of the 18,000+ products, many are outdated or 1 variant, which means they have 1 size (and I am not referring to handbags and accessories). This means countless hours trying to customize your store. Of the items that you choose to display, the Titles and descriptions are bad, which means manually updating. It will take months if not at least 1 year to customize or will require additional costs and resources. They also duplicate inventory under bad Titles. The Lemon.Dev template was a dinosaur. No Search and Discovery functionality and little to no support. Zero professionalism when trying to address these issues. You're better off installing a FREE THEME, where you'll at least get Shopify support. They don't support zip file theme installations. DO NOT spend $2k on web development! And spend the $2k subscription fee to grow your business at your own risk. It will require infinite time, whereas other drop shippers already have this process down. And I've scheduled Google Meet calls to address concerns where they won't even show up to the call. Meanwhile, we're talking about 6am EST - only for them to not show up to calls. SMH. I'm very suspect of the positive reviews and would do some deep research.

Extremely overpriced, I had the app at the beginning of November 2023 and had to pay 280 euros per month. As a beginner, it is very difficult to generate sales in the first few months. You need at least 3-4 months to gain experience and get into the Google rankings. I would understand if they made it cheaper to start with and then increased the price after a few months. but certainly not from the start. So this is one of the most expensive providers there is. Brandsgateway is all about the money, I understand that. but I can't understand it because most dropshippers who register here pay a fee of 280 euros and then delete the app because it's too expensive and haven't made any profits. Only Brandsgateway benefits here. There isn't even a test version

It was not what I expected. You cannot choose individual products to load. You have to import an entire category to then realize that the products may not be what you want, or there is not enough of the items. Then to top it off the cost of the product plus shipping charges may be a bit too much compared to other retailers in your area. Really review the page and DONT sign up for a yearly subscription unless you are absolutely sure because they will NOT refund the money on subscriptions. Make sure it is what you want and need.

Arnaque ! Les produits proposés sont en concurrence directe avec les marques elles-même à des prix plus élevés. Support client nul. Bref. A fuir absolument

Please do not deal with them. They are thieves. In the beginning, they are present and all answer your question then once you subscribe it becomes a problem. The inventory sucks and it is outdated. Ugly merchandise is not attractive to sell to customers. There are a few items per unit. They do support you as they should with all the money spent on subscriptions. Not worth it. Once I asked for a refund for everything they didn't want to. How was I supposed to know how bad their merchandise was if I didn't subscribe to see it? STAY AWAY!!!!! BEWARE!!!
