CJdropshipping: Much Faster

I can't even sign into the CJdropshipping site with my shopify account

Not worth the problems and support is terrible. Ended up getting Shopify involved after a POD order came through my store. Customer submitted multiple images for 5 different customizable items (large order for me). CJ contacted me to request that I combine the jpg images into one file for each item. I was fully willing to do so. Tried clicking on images in my order dashboard but their app blocks that ability. CJ later instructed me to use their own order dashboard to download images. Their images were only 40x40 pixels so I had no control at that point. First they said they didn't have images at all, then they said they have them and won't combine files for me, now they are telling Shopify that they are waiting for the images from me altogether. After getting Shopify involved, no one from CJ is communicating with me anymore. Games.

First of all, I want to clarify that my last agent Jessie is great, knowledgeable, and very helpful; she helped me to resolve most of the issues other agents created and the terrible service CJ provide. The problem and the reason of this review is because CJ start shipping your orders within the timeframe; then after you have a little bit of time with them, they start switching your 8-15 shipping method slowly (''which is the fastest they supposedly have'')to a 20 to 35 days in transit (several times longer or because of the long time, items get lost in transit often so you have to refund your customer but CJ will not refund you) They keep changing the shipping method and speed you paid for and you will not be able to do anything because they are still using '''''''''the supposed shipping method you paid for''''''' Then you start getting a ton of messages from your customers asking why their orders has not been delivered which yields to a bad review that you cannot hide or fix on your Facebook shop, etc. They WILL try to do anything and everything they can to avoid giving you a refund for orders placed and cancelled immediately, items damaged, etc. They start good so you can start using their app, but then later you will have all these issues and you will regret it.

I had to change my review to 1 star due to no support on lost package on order 2101231951738808301
Customer service does not have any idea where the package is.

I am very disappointed with the service of this app in 2022, none of the orders I have placed have been sent. I contacted customer service and they only give you excuses that they are going to send the order, but nothing ever happens and I have upset customers who I have to refund them because this app does not do its job.

We used to use CJ for a good while. Was counting on them being responsible and reliable. but ended up very disappointed. When they had quite a few mess-up in our order delivery, which caused us quite a grief and loss with customers, they often try to excuse themselves from taking responsilities or it would take long time to process a dispute/refund.

Their dispute team is the MOST DISGRACEFUL part of their business. Mistakes made, ok, just fix it. But they don't. They TRY TO DENY EVERYTHING.

All problems are routed by this AWESOME DISPUTE TEAM to the innocent agents and warehouse. They are just like a shameful team hiding at the back and doing a lot of bad things.

On 9/12/2021, I reached out to them because my Google Merchant account was suspended because of their API. I sent them the files through the in app messages. I was told by Box Chen within 2 days they should have an answer as to what happened. So fast forward Wednesday, September 15, 2021: Tried to reach out repeatedly within the app but no one responded last night. Not only did they not respond... I tried to submit a complaint and they blocked it. I took screenshots of everything I wrote for proof... and I will recored this complaint as well. My question to Shopify is why are Merchants allowed to take advantage of consumers like this and they do nothing to repair the damages they've caused to a shops Google account. I have spent months getting items and placing them in my store. That means I have spent more than 40 hours a week listing their items into my store.

Initially, I was extremely satisfied with their service. Items were shipped within 3 business days and tracking information reflected products that were on their way to the customer. In just this week alone, CJ has shipped products to the wrong customers (twice). An order has been processing since Jan. 22, and they are unsure if it has processed, or will process. Not to mention tracking information is a joke. My customer's guess is as good as mine when of if anything will ship. I am holding out hope that things will change, but looks like I will start my journey to find a better supplier.

The CJ drop ship service itself is maybe very good. But I don't think I'll ever know. The complexity of using the app to simply add products to your store is terrible. It is not easy as with Eprolo or Oberlo. There are no clear explanations of what needs to be done & there are various, seemingly unnecessary options as well, which makes it even more confusing. For eg there are 3 different screens that show my products, and 1 of them has conflicting information to the others regarding availability & shipping! But worst of all is their command of English. It is absolutely terrible. From their on site headings and descriptions, to their site/Youtube tutorials, to their Chat service, it is very confusing. CJ needs to invest in a few customer service people who can convey & understand information in English correctly. I have spent over an hour this evening trying to explain an issue to a customer service agent who simply could not get what I was trying to say, and I ended up giving up, with the issue unresolved.
The site navigation is also below par. If you DO open chat, the text box cannot be moved around, so it goes right on the middle of your screen so you cannot see the CJ page at all. You have to close the box to look at the page, and then reopen it. There is also no way to END the chat. You can only minimize the chat screen which is very strange. Here's an example of the ambiguity of the site instructions. In the side menu Authorisation / Shopify, you'll see a summary of your store and its settings. Regarding the Inventory Sync setting, if it says "Enable" it actually means this setting is disabled. If it says Disable it actually means your connection is enabled. Such confusing titles and descriptions abound on this site. I am not confident that it is even set up to work with my Shopify site, and as explained, the Chat support are less than capable of putting one's mind at ease. This site makes me nervous about selling, in contrast to Oberlo & Eprolo whom I have been confident with right from the start.
