Do drop shipping work?

[Deedo]

Hi Violettals,

I have e-mailed them and this is the reply that I recieved

We have been rather suprised by the amount of items that got sold out in

the first few days, but our agents have informed us that they estimate

most out of stock items to be released to us shortly. IF you send us a

list of the items you are waiting for, then we can arrange for an email to

be sent to you informing you of arrival.

So still no indication when stock will arrive (if any), keep me informed if you get any new information.

Keep us posted i'm still hopefully waiting to see if they will sell anyone anything!

it would be nice to hear from someone who registered before april 5th (date of the first post in this thread)

Face it, Its a scam

n even if its true they will say its fake coz they dont want any one else to sign up, or vice versa.

Hello all, I'm new here but I have long been on the trail of Drop Shipping.

The only things that seem clear to me in all the mud are;

1. Drop Shipping is going to be big if and when it starts in the UK for real, and

2. There are plenty of pitfalls for us all to fall down before we get there.

However, if those of us who are serious about this can stick together I'm sure we beat the scammers (of which it is sadly becoming apparent electricaldropship.co.uk is one) and make a bit of money for ourselves, not millions but enough to make all the hassle worthwile.

Good Luck and hope to talk soon.

[Ultraviolet]

You've got to be kidding me :o

Another N00bie singing the praise of drop shipping!

This is just getting silly! :laugh:

[Kerm]

Lol, sad but true 1984.

I've pretty much lost all hope for this now.

me to. :cry:

[turbomonkeycock]

At least he didn't try and promote the site in question

[Gingertom]

Im not trying to promote anything, just offering my input.

I've been ripped off 15 quid by a scammer and don't want it to happen to any of you guys.

My application has just been approved and now I find myself in the same situation as Deedo - getting errors when trying to buy the items with low prices :no:

I have sent them an email and tell them that I am aware the "unit 3 max 1" etc. means out of stock. I specified the exact item I am after (the ?44.99 ipod minis) ;)) and ask them tell me when exactly the stock for the ipod minis will arrive. And that if they are unable to provide me this information then I would like to take the opportunity and ask for a refund. I pointed out that because of the date I sent this refund request email, I am eligible for a refund according to the law's 7 days period.

Also, I sent this email through a legal email tracking program. Not only we'll know the exact date and time they opened it, we will also be shown on a map the approx. location that the email was opened and their ISP and IP of the computer they use to open this email.

I did some research and found that if we can prove this company/person operates within the UK, then we can take this case to the police because it fits in the category of "advance fee scam". So apart from Deedo and I, if there are anyone else here who have made any kind of contact e.g. email or phone to this company, please save the emails and keep all the possible evidences just in case we end up taking this case to the police.

Thanks.

Nice one mate, let see how they reply. I'm also interested to see if this is real.

[Ashl]

getting interesting this, wonder if they will even open the email...

[Shycho]

Just got this off another site

To those who are very excited of making a huge profit by buying stuff on electrical dropship and selling it on auctions like ebay.... I am very to disappoint you that it won't work!!! Please do trust me and I was in your position a week before and paid off a ?60 membership fee. But after a week wait, things turned out far from expected.....

They are not a scam, but they worked in a very clever way to get around it, I will explain.....

First, the attrative price you saw such as ?44 for an Mini Ipod, they are for real. But then, there is a catch, you can't buy as many as you want, only one at a time. If you think you can afford the time to wait just to get a Mini Ipod one at a time and make mini profits, think again. Because there is another catch.....

You can't just order one Mini Ipod, but also you have to mixed your purchase with other products. Well, it seems pretty easy in the beginning, cause everything look so cheap.... then you are WRONG. Most stuff you saw which is cheap and below the average internet price, they are all in the same position like a Mini Ipod. The only left choices you would have, is a a few televisons or home theatre products, or camcorders, they are all highly priced. Not to mention to compare the price with Ebay auctions, I can't even beat the price with Lycos search on the internet! You may be able to cover the loss you make by selling a mini ipod, but in the end of the day, you will find yourself not making any profit (only if you are lucky!!!)

So it is quite clever for them, they will still attain their profit target in the end without really letting you to make any profits out of it. But you will still continue to help them to sell stuff, why? Because they are still holding your ?60 membership fee!!!!

One more thing, I haven't been able to buy a mini ipod yet even I tried to mix with other highly priced items, and I also bear the risk of them not delivering the goods to me at all. I sincerely hope you reconsider before you join this Electrical Dropship, hope you will find this piece of information useful and don't end up like me!!!

Excellent Shycho...

Well that about wraps it up I reckon.

Maybe a mod should stickie this?

[Deedo]

Have sent them another e-mail asking them to prove they are a genuine company and taking membership under false pretences, this was their reply

"We must reject any claims of taking your membership fee under a false pretence. This is because we provide what we state, which is a business opportunity which allows you access to dropship items for us.

Please consider that we have many members who have purchased

items that you wish to order, and this is clearly shown on the website

under the best selling list.

We are a genuine dropshipping company as we fully intend to refund you

your membership fee when you have made your fifth sale, many other

companies do not even offer this option at all."

Imagine how stupid I feel now, of course they`re genuine, they have a best selling list on their web site, what more can you ask :)
