Extremely Slow Support & Unresponsive Suppliers — Not Reliable for New Businesses
I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Spocket deserves a clear and honest account for other small business owners.
I waited over a month for Spocket’s team to resolve an issue that prevented me from placing even a basic sample order. The supplier I selected never completed their Stripe setup, and while Spocket repeatedly said they were “following up,” there was no progress for weeks.
During this time, I couldn’t order products, test anything, or properly operate my store. I had already built my website around these items, only to discover the supplier was completely unresponsive and effectively unreachable.
When I eventually cancelled my subscription due to the platform being unusable, obtaining a refund became another prolonged process. I was initially offered partial compensation (20%) or a complimentary extension instead of a straightforward refund. After further escalation, Spocket agreed in writing to refund two months — however, only one month was refunded initially.
What followed was a series of generic, repetitive responses and shifting support agents, with no clear timeline or confirmation for the second refund. Despite multiple follow-ups, the issue remained unresolved until I ultimately had to involve my bank to recover the remaining amount.
While individual support agents were polite, the overall system feels fragmented and slow, particularly when supplier issues arise. For new businesses that rely on momentum, testing, and timely setup, this lack of responsiveness can be costly.
I appreciate that the full refund was eventually completed, but the process involved unnecessary delays, inconsistent communication, and pressure to adjust or remove my honest review.
For transparency and fairness to other merchants, I’m keeping this feedback public. If Spocket significantly improves supplier accountability and customer support consistency, I’d be open to revisiting this review. Until then, I recommend approaching with caution.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m truly sorry for the frustration this situation caused. What you described is not the level of reliability or responsiveness we aim to provide, and I understand how damaging long delays can be—especially when you’re trying to get a new store off the ground.
The delay with the supplier’s account verification and the lack of timely updates clearly created an unacceptable roadblock. While we did continue to follow up with the supplier, it’s clear that the process took far too long and left you without the ability to move forward. That’s on us, and we sincerely apologize for the impact this had on your launch timeline.
Regarding your refund request, I’m sorry that experience also added to your frustration. We never want a customer to feel they’ve paid for a service they couldn’t properly use. If you’re open to it, we’d like to review your case again to ensure it was handled correctly and to see what we can do to make this right.
Our team is actively working on improving supplier responsiveness, internal follow-up systems, and support resolution time so situations like this don’t happen again.
Please feel free to reach out to us directly at support@spocket.co with your ticket number so we can take another look and assist you further. We genuinely appreciate your feedback—it helps us improve.
Wishing you the best in your business journey, and thank you again for giving us the opportunity to listen and learn from your experience.- Eleanor
This company should screen their suppliers more with certain parameters that they need to get back with a Spocket about shipping and inventory within 24 hours. Small businesses rely on Spocket to upload inventory to their website. When inventories and suppliers are not vetted properly, it causes delays in product And lost customers and profit. More attention should be made toward having one customer service rep or two assigned to each client like me.

The customer service is unsatisfactory. Several suppliers fail to respond to inquiries or address issues adequately. Obtaining a direct response seems impossible, as interactions with the company often feel like an endless loop. Considering the amount I paid for the service, the experience has been very disappointing. It took more than 20 days for a supplier to dispatch an item to my customer, and even then, the wrong size was sent. Now, over 10 days have passed, and I am still awaiting a reply regarding the return of the item.

Posting this as a warning so others don’t make the same mistake I did.
I run a TikTok Shop (US-based). I chose Spocket specifically because of their marketing around US suppliers and content implying TikTok Shop usage. I relied on that when choosing them over alternatives like Trendsi.
I onboarded a Spocket supplier and fulfilled orders through them. What followed:
- Repeated late shipments despite “US supplier” labeling
- Poor product quality leading to refunds/returns
- TikTok Shop penalties due to fulfillment performance
- Removal from TikTok affiliate access
- Listing limits imposed by TikTok
- Significant revenue loss (I was previously grossing ~3k/month)
When I contacted support after the damage, I was told Spocket “isn’t set up for TikTok,” which directly contradicted the expectations set by their published content.
I’m not posting this to rant or bash — just to warn others:
If you are running or planning to run a TikTok Shop, be extremely careful relying on Spocket suppliers for fulfillment. TikTok is unforgiving with late shipping and quality issues, and supplier mistakes can permanently damage your account.
If you’re already on TikTok Shop, I strongly recommend using fulfillment partners that are explicitly TikTok-friendly with proven 2–5 day shipping and strict QC.
Hope this helps someone avoid the mess I’m cleaning up now.
Thank you for the amazing review! We're so happy to hear that you think we're the best. Your support means a lot to us, and we're always here to help you with anything you need. Happy dropshipping!- Eleanor 😊
business owners, I know you're excited about the potential and excitement of a new side hustle/ additional income etc. Do your self a favor and don't deal with this company. You've been warned. Your profit margins are none existent, the processing and delivery times are inconsistent. They will fight you to cancel a membership even if it's within the same month you were charged.
If you're wondering why so many 5 stars for a company that is so horrible? The customer reps are professional and friendly. The company's policy are self serving. Their response to my request on my refund is that "you won't be charge after November 2024" ... What? It's December 2023. How is this a company even in business?
Consumer protection ? Where?
12/23/2023-response to reply; a representative reached out and is requiring a phone conversation. I’ve already stated that email is my best contact method with this company. The email also stated that they wanted to explain the refund policy to me….. there’s no respect for my time or best contact method. Any company with the intention of doing the right thing for their clients would resolve the issue ASAP. These people are literally stealing money. I don’t feel comfortable deleting the app because they may turn around and say they can’t do anything about it. So disturbing! Over $300 for the annual fee and they don’t want to refund it. it hasn’t been months, it’s not unreasonable to process a full refund.
12/29- Still No Refund… They are still unwilling to communicate via email. I’m Different “managers” reach out asking to speak in the phone to explain the policy…. There isn’t a level of service where one person would own the issue until it’s resolved… you’re basically a hot potato no one knows hot to deal with. They’re just hoping I’ll go away.
Thank you for your feedback! We are very sorry to hear about your experience. Our sincerest apologies if we were not able to meet your expectations at this time.

Beware of this company and the sketchy terms and conditions they have. I signed up and paid for a year subscription in August of 2023. In August 2024 they never sent me any emails alerting me of the upcoming renewal date. They just sucked $288.00 out of my account and didn't notify me until hours later. I immediately sent them a email telling them I wanted to cancel the subscription because I just do not use the service enough to justify the cost. After days of back and forth emails with several different people, they finally said they can not and would not refund my money.
That is just bad business. I just dent do business with shady companies like Sproket.
I’m truly sorry to hear about your recent experience, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We take issues like this very seriously and strive to provide clear communication and support to all our customers.

Thank you for your feedback, and I hope we can find a way to make this right for you. - Eleanor
downloaded app 10/20/25 did not use app, items were hard to find and not easy to drop, charged 54.99 on 11/9/25, unaware, once i became aware of charges deleted app on 11.26.25, was charged again 11.28.25 another $54.99. attempted to reach out using 24/7 chat on spocket website, waited 45 mins for response, no agent ever attempted to assist
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, and we understand how frustrating unexpected charges and delays can be.
Spocket subscriptions begin after the trial period unless canceled beforehand, which is likely why the charges occurred. Simply deleting the app does not automatically cancel the subscription, as it needs to be canceled directly from the account settings.
That said, we’re concerned to hear about the difficulty you had reaching our support team. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
We’d really like the opportunity to look into this for you and make things right. Please reach out to us directly at support@spocket.co
with your account details so we can review the charges and assist you promptly. - Eleanor
