CJdropshipping: Much Faster

I just started using CJ a month ago, and I have to say, it has not been going well. I listed and successfully sourced a handful of products. Got many orders from my customers and was notified by my agent that half of the products were out of stock AFTER MORE THAN A WEEK of placing the order, even after they "successfully" sourced the items. Now, I have to refund hundreds of dollars to my customers. This was a problem I was trying to avoid when switching to CJ, but unfortunetely, it turned into more of a problem for my business. I had a better experience with AliExpress and Oberlo. I do not recommend CJ for dropshipping. I will now have to switch to a real sourcing agent to handle all of my orders.

Since beginning 2023 I started my store. Now October I went to do a test purchase on 10/13 and after logging into CJ the order was no where to be found. The order was automatically marked fulfilled in Shopify only to be not available in CJ. After 2 hours of trying to find the order, the wrong order was synced to the account from another app. In 5 minutes after un-susccessful attempts to get product synced to store after being told after 'listing' item you have to still 'connect' it to the store the correct order still was in 'Invalid order' spite being a CJ drop ship item. I decided to delete the account because the order could not be fulfilled through there wacky & overly complicated system. It shouldn't not have taken 2 hours of screen shots of the product I was trying to do a Test order on. The agents were unhelpful and incapable of resolving the problem. They only send you to FAq's instead of communicating because of there limited English and reading skills. I wasted 6 months and 2 hours, no more.

Really nonsense, it took more than 2 weeks to process my order. During that time, PayPal, Stripe, and Shopify Payment will suspend payment gateways or hold payouts for up to three months because buyers open disputes.

Alternatives Dropast, Zindrop, Spocket or go back to Aliexpress.

Update:All the 5-star reviews are fake. CJ has levels and high-level customers are their Gods. CJ behaves so abusively with beginner level customers that you can only get to another level by luck. CJ will just make sure to shut down your business, not intentionally but that's how their system is, and those idiots in customer service don't understand anything. CJ offered me coupons to remove this review, which I denied.

I am selling a product for 2 weeks and I just randomly was informed that this product isn’t available! None of the orders was sent out to customers. The inventory on the CJ’s product site says 80.0002 pieces are available which is obviously not true. I took a screenshot and wish I could upload it for proof!!
Not only is communication beyond frustrating the worst part is that it damages my business. All the customers who ordered were excited to get their product but guess what … it is not even available. Customers will never come back to my store when their experience it as terrible as this. The whole process is very unprofessional. It should be possible to give 0 stars because 1 star is already too much!

CJ always doing a joke service. A very unprofessional company, If you are looking for a good company to help you scale your business, don’t use CJ. You will have a lot of issues with your customers. CJ is not gonna ship your orders on time, even if you buy inventory. All shit... This my second time using Cj still the same shit. I bought over $2000.00 in Inventory in bulk with CJ, I place my orders it's been 10 days since CJ never ship my orders. Very bad company, they are not organized.

Worst dropshopping supplier. U should refund items even if they don't have damage. I lost money to paypal because of you! The itwm is completely working and the customer wants a refund but they want to accept. Another dispute was customer asking to change item variant but they straight away said they can't. These 2 dispute are my first dispute i had with cj and so far they did not handle it well so i will not fulfill orders with them and would highly encourage other to not use them cause they will screw ur business during scaling. They're greedy, istead of building great connection with theirUsers, they want to jeopardize it by not accepting refund. A few dollar profit to u in exchange of users stopped working with u, a greedy move from the dispute team. Great website but worst dispute team. We are dropshippers but we are also your customer so u should accept refunds at all cost if you want us to keep working with u.

CJ Droppshipping SUCKS big time!
I have orders that have been in the "processing" stage since January 25th, today is February 12th!!!! I've been chatting with customer service every night for weeks, and each time I get a different reason as to why my orders haven't been mailed. My customers are starting to ask for refunds now. Every day I get at least two emails requesting refunds from customers. CJ Droppshipping SUCKS big time!

I'm not sure why CJDropshipping App received a star of 4.7. They are not able to comply with their order policy mentioned on their website (3-7 Days processing / 5-7 Shipping). When you checked with them, asked why the shipping is delayed, they will keep asking you to have a stock with them and explained their processing time (4-7 Days plus shipping) which is a clear cheating strategy. Shopify should check their partner policies and strictly implement those policy and even ban them to prevent using their App/services. We replaced our existing supplier due to this reason and they are worse than the first one.

Terrible platform. I've been using them since June 2021. The inventory listed on the site is not real. I sold over 30 units of a product that they ended up not having (even though the inventory stated they had over 9,000). It took them over a week to let me know they wouldn't be able to source a viable replacement product so I found another supplier. I've been trying to get refunded for over a month now and they are still withholding 15% of my money. It wasn't easy to get the other 85% either, I've had to contact my agent every single day for the last 30 days. Bad products, slow shipping, and no accountability. I promise you'll regret it in the long run.

I was very disappointed with the company’s communication and product search, and did not provide me with any help. I was quite disappointed with this.
