Many thanks for your swift reply to my previous message. Can only say I was impressed and gives you a big thumbs up!!

 

Would you now please provide me with a random list of current Site Sellers (let say 7) so I can look at their websites and make contact with them so as to ask them of their experiences.

 

Also how many Site Sellers do you have?

 

Your ability to be able to do this will show me transparency which will be a determining factor on whether I sign up with you guys.

 

I look forward to your quick reply.

Hello Everyone,

Well after much deliberation I finally decided to bite the bullet and go ahead and get involved with iNetdropship.

From my e-mail experiences up to now iNetdropship can be either very good and on other occassions not so good.

To come to my decision I weighed up what they were offering against doing it all from scratch. Thought it was better to spend USD $199 than maybe a couple of thousand dollars should I get it wrong.

So now I have my website: www.bigblueroo.com and I would appreciate any feedback about it`s potential. The site is 99% for American & Canadian consumers. Feedback e-mails can be posted here or sent to sales@bigblueroo.com.

Only took iNetdropship a few days before I had the website which I found their response impressive as they said it could take longer, however I also decided to get involved with their U.Kwebsite  (will be www.bigblueroo.co.uk)  which up to now I am still waiting to receive. Has been over a week now (this is what I mean by how they can be good and then not so good) and I am getting a bit frustrated.

Also is there anybody out there who can let me know how you get recognised on search engines without costing an arm and a leg.

One of the hidden costs with iNetdropship is you have top pay for search engine exposure. Cost is for one month with two submissions - USD $49.00, 3 months with six submissions is USD $99.00 and 6 months with 12 submissions is USD $149.00. This gives you access to 500 search engines with each submission.

Sadly I would have thought if they wanted products to sell this would have all been part of the package, even if they increased the price of joining. I hate having to keep on paying, just would have been happy to pay USD $248.00 up front ($199 + $49) and would also feel more honest.

Well for now that is about it and I look forward to anyone`s ideas or comments about www.bigblueroo.com and search engines.

Cheers,

Dvaid J. Buck

1. The website they give you is impossibly slow and ugly.  It looks "canned", and customers know it.  The "bounce rate" is 90% .. 9 out of 10 people leave off of the title page quickly, no matter how you try to customize it or whatever your price is.
2. The product search is ridiculously slow and inept and often results in more than 100 pages of irrelevant products, or no products at all.  Less than 1% actually bother to search.
3. The prices for products, while they look low, are inflated on the back-end with exorbitant shipping and handling -- typical eBay ploy -- which completely infuriates customers and they will never come back again.
4. Customers can attempt to order products which are actually out of stock but the out-of-stock report is too late.  Say goodbye again.
5. The database contains many products with no images, minimal descriptions, and out-of-stock products -- terrible.
6. Their image server is underpowered and actually crashes when you need it most, not showing any product images if they have any traffic.
7. Your website is limited to 500 page views per hour, and then they turn your site off (even the control panel) for a considerable period, so don`t try for many visitors.  They must have thousands of sucker-sites on the same server.
8. You can`t do proper Google Analytics on your own website, because their ecommerce page is on another website.
9. Their quick response is part of the deception of a functioning company.  slick.
10. You are opening yourself to a lawsuit if customers are dissatisfied.  inetdropship won`t tell you who the suppliers are, so customers will come after you.  You`ll have a hard time finding where they are also:  they proxied their domain so their corporate address won`t show.
11. There are probably many other nightmares from other subscribers -- please reply to this thread so that we can take collective action.

Conclusion:  They need a class-action lawsuit to refund all the subscription monies.  For now, I`m proceeding with the state attorney`s office, BBB and the FTC.

Good day Mr Wizard!

G`day Scamreporter,

Many thanks for your e-mail. It has taken a while but finally somebody has opened the door for the information I have been looking for.

Your comments are what I was looking for when I started all this. Sadly I could not find them until today. (meaning similar comments from others)

Yes I did see the "very big red flag", but as the risk taker I am I did not choose to ignore it but decided to see where things would lead me to and use this forum to report my experiences, be they good or bad.

Either way this would provide valuable information, such as yours, to others who might be pondering using iNetdropship.

As time goes by I will see what happens and hopefully I may be able to make some profit.

Again I am so pleased to have your comments and I think now so will many others.

All the best for a prosperous 2009.

Cheers,

David J. Buck
