Dropshipland does everything possible to extract money from buyers, except offer its services honestly. Buyers pay monstrously inflated fees on the promise of convenient dropshipping, but like all false promises, this too, is never fulfilled. This site actually does everything except drop ship products. Reviews prove that Dropshipland has never managed to send any product across to customers till date.
How, then, does this site manage to stay in business? The answer - it tries every scam in the book to make money and keep retailers in the dark about the actual nature of its business. The site has two techniques for extracting fees from retailers — fee for acquiring wholesale merchandise, and fee for website hosting. Since it is Dropshipland we are talking about, buyers receive none of the promised service and yet end up paying more money than they ever imagined when they came across this site.
Products that Do Not Exist in Their Stock
The site lists products purportedly offered through their service, but note that none of these products are ever available for actual purchase. The buyers pay a lot as fees to buy the product, but the product is never in stock.
Experienced retailers are well aware of this scam, because Dropshipland offers some telltale indications that should get the alarm bells ringing. For example, even the inventory it lists — although much of it is made up — does not offer much. A few measly product lines, and even then, there is no indication that the products have a market.
The buyer, who does manage to find a product that is not out of stock, never receives it. They might wait endlessly for the product to be delivered, make their apologies to irate customers, probably even find a profitable wholesale bargain elsewhere — but the product never arrives at the customer’s doorstep.
What is more, the buyer is more likely than not to be saddled with monthly fees deducted from their credit card, without their permission. Even if you request cancellation of membership they will keep deducting money as long as they have access to your card.
Website Setup that Never Works
Buyers are offered a membership plan where they are provided their own site to promote products. Reviews recommend staying away from this plan, because Dropshipland is only looking for ways to earn money through site hosting. In addition to paying higher fees, you will be saddled with website hosting costs for at least one year.
As the primary goal of the site is to earn through hosting, and not by offering retailer support, the website you get is not ecommerce friendly. It is an obsolete product that will not help the retailer get access to new customers. Integrating the site with eBay is problematic, and tech support is non existent.
Fraud has come to be closely associated with Dropshipland and it has started maligning reliable, well known wholesale directories in order to detract the attention of buyers. The method isn’t working, and buyers are now leaving the site and cancelling their cards in order to make a fresh start, away from this den of scams.
