Zendrop ‑ Dropshipping & POD

Zendrop has some great aspects and some really frustrating issues.

Frustrating issues:
- Their website is pretty buggy - I constantly get Error 404 Bad Gateway pages (Using Chrome / incognito / Explorer) and if I want to try and edit a linked product, there is a popup that flashes with the edit and delete options, but it literally flashes and I can never make a selection.
- Building a bundle is possible which I originally LOVED, but once built you cannot edit it, and if a variant becomes unavailable, you have to redo the whole bundle, including linking it again.
- They say there is 24/7 customer support, but its an AI chatbot and has pre-loaded options ONLY. No ability to request an actual agent for anything outside of those pre-loaded options.
- Variants that need to be edited in the order show the option for the action but always have an error on selection, and it asks you to contact support. which is the AI chatbot with pre-loaded selections...none of them being raising a support ticket.
- When you try to select a ticket to raise a new support ticket...you have no option to do so, its all very one sided.
- Email support takes several days for a response if you get one.

Good aspects
- I love the auto fulfillment when it works
- pretty good product selection
- easy to use interface most of the time
- easy to sync products and pretty instantaneous
- Easy to find product prices and SKU's etc
- Order issues are clear, not enough funds to pay / items out of stock etc. Just not easy to rectify them

If the issues could be rectified I would sing their praises but at the moment Im looking elsewhere because its so hindering for me.

I going to write very honest review no BS and will keep it very simple.

pros.
They have some good quality products but you have to do your own research to find one with proper good reviews. you'll be wasting lot of time though
customer service is great very helpful people mostly try to help.

Cons
Horrible shipping selection, very bad packaging. even the product is great their package make things worse.
again even if you find a good quality product shipping and delivery will ultimately ruin customer experience.

Suggestions.

Get rid of fake AI generated descriptions and fake pictures of the product. add a review section for sellers so they can review the product they are selling.
Improve the selection of shipping provider set some quality control which you guys always say in place but seems like not working without all of this any business is going to fail.

Final note for who are reading my review- guys dont rely entirely on any drop shipping, you can use them to fill some gaps in your product line and find some good source other than that big NO.

The customer service is very quick and responsive.

I am having a lot of problems with product delivery currently, but with the customer service help, I might be able to solve it soon.

This is the downside, I am very disappointed with the miscommunication the shipping process. I've had some products sent back to the warehouses and they didn't say anything. Hopefully it's not a recurring issue.

SHIZA, the customer service girl is being very helpful.

Agent Krisnalyn was helpful with my product inventory inquiry. She assured me that once the product was linked correctly to my store that fulfillment would be a breeze. She was very efficient and expedient with assisting me.

Too early. They are still working out details. Support is very confusing to work with. They will give your 3 answers to one question. I'm going to try to work with them, but very close to leaving. UGH!

Zendrop are a quandary - they have superb customer service (people), but they are let down by a system that really isn't set up for 'supply'.
The sheer number of 'variations' on a single supply item, from different supply points, means that the store owner is left wondering if they connected the right item, or if the (occasionally nice) pictures actually show the items they are offering. BTW Zendrop - check the pics, most people are struggling with Google and it's archane policies on images, MINIMISE THE TEXT AND MAKE IT LANGUAGE RELEVANT.

The number of times that an item gets 'pulled' is odd, when in reality there are multiple other suppliers, which means that you cannot be certain that the 'listing' you have won't give you dozens of rejected orders, as Zendrop don't connect one listing to multiple suppliers, that's up to the store owner to manage.

Zendrop's Plus listing subscription is also dubious - there are no tangible benefits to this other than more items (why would you restrict the listings that someone can have?) and some really quite boring 'tech talks' that are hosted by very 'cool' guys telling you how they are coming to you from their new apartment, and taking 5 times more than required to 'introduce' you to Zendrop's listing systems, or how you basically need to learn every AI package out there if you're going to succeed.

CJ don't charge you to list their items, they just want you to sell them.

It is clear to me that Zendrop is not ready to handle massive orders they are very slow I just did the test I received a couple of orders for the same product and I split it between zendrop and Dsers My Dsers order already arrived to my customer but the Zendrop order hasn’t arrived yet, I also believe in the monopoly going on and the game of affiliate Zendrop is clearly spending lots of money on that because almost everyone out there keep mentioning Zendrop but in reality Zendrop makes lots of mistakes and they take their sweet time to fulfill orders. So think about before you spend money here oh by the way they are a lot expensive than any other platform.

respond without delay and work with good suppliers

Good day, I just joined.
Looking for the fulfillment location. Glad to be here.

I love zendrop, great product and the best support! But the new billing feature is ass! You get charged 19$ for linking one product!
