Listen. If you're serious about ecom, find a private supplier. These people over charge on everything. They cant bundle orders so you'll be charged 2x shipping for 1 customer that ordered 2 items. They're constantly changing their prices and shipping takes forever. I was using them for testing so I don't waste my suppliers time but I cannot with this company. FIND A GOOD SUPPLIER! YOUR MARGINS WILL THANK YOU EDIT:: I had the pleasure of speaking with Dorina, a wonderful quality control manager. Dorina helped with with all my problems. Dorina refunded me on shipping and even gave me a month free. AutoDS is working on their platform to make it better and reviews like mine help them see what needs to be fixed. I may have been a little harsh but Dorina has helped me! NEWEST EDIT: This company is charging their customers for order fulfilment but is not actually shipping out their orders. You have to load a balance in their website which is a loophole so the banks can't actually dispute these transactions when the company doesn't fulfil on their obligations. They also increase their prices on products without notice. I have multiple orders where I paid for product and shipping yet these orders were never shipped. They included a tracking number and thats it. After tracking was provided, the products never actually got shipped. I asked for a refund on my remaining balance and they fully refuse to even return the money I loaded into their platform. I have customers contacting me daily asking why there is no movement on their tracking, this is the only way I was able to find out most of these orders were never actually shipped. I had help from a nice service rep previously but this overall experience is horrible. Stay far away.

Very simple to start using this app. Thought it would be difficult waiting for like 5 days, was a little intimidated. Scared to take a chance seems like every time I start something it doesn't work out. This is really easy, and they have help to assist. Haven't used the help button, but it's always visible. I am ready to make money. It' like you have so much to sell, so many options. Auto DS is a life saver, and time saver as well. This AI Drop shipping makes life so much better. AI is the future, it ties right in to Amazon, Facebook, and TIKTOK, very simple. Love that all you have to do i imagine, and everything comes together.

This app is predatory. THE BELOW PLANS ARE FAKE! They charged me $368.70 for the month based on usage. At the bottom of the description to download the app it says the pricing plans of $26.90, $39.90, and $66.90 a month. THE APP DOES NOT HAVE THE POSTED PLANS. Instead it charges based on usage for the month. I do not even have a live website yet. All I have done is browse products, see how the app works, and find things I want to eventually sell. They charged me $368.70 for the month.

I like how Auto DS makes it easy to search for products to sell, study product data compiled by Auto DS to see which products would be a good fit for your store and finally, upload the products to your online store. All of this is done in place.

1. Charged $390.16 for usage during FREE trial period 2. Possibly some FAKE 5-star Auto-DS reviews: after writing this review, we noticed lots of short, 5-star reviews, claiming complete satisfaction and ease of use. 3. MONTHLY plan billed annually means no refund for unused months or login capability if cancelled. That's unlawful unjust enrichment. 4. Only got 14 products to sell: claimed variations of the 14 products counted towards 500-product limit. Unlawful bait and switch. 5. Fake or inaccurate product supply numbers. Most products were out of stock right after being listed, requiring daily inventory management and daily new product searching. 6. Made $0.00 the entire time from 9/13/24 to 11/29/24. 7. High-priced shipping for even lightweight items the entire time we were using the platform so prices weren't impacted by recent strikes, new tariffs, etc. 8. Low inventory and miminal options from U.S. Suppliers in our niche. Mainly China-based suppliers so most had 14 to 21 day shipping times. Auto-DS ad said differently. 9. Lots of non-wholesale prices 10. 1,000 (and counting) emails re: out of stock/price changes. 11. Inability to unsubscribe from emails once canceled. 12. Had to agree to a new plan for same time frame to access app again once we canceled 13. Repeated login issues before the cancelation 14. Confusing pricing tools: Lots of pricing errors that would've sold trending products at a loss. 15. No unique or "scroll-stopping" products in niche. 16. Hidden fees (i.e.the need for additional "credits" on top of in-app charges and monthly subscription) to fulfill the orders. 17. App was hard to use. 18. Still required more apps to compete. 19. Shall I repeat: we made no sales from 9/13/24 through 11/29/24. 20. Pricing analysis and strategies for individual products were hard to find. 21. Limited, argumentative, and/or belligerent support. 22. Lots of known issues 23. There were OUTDATED help topics and tutorials. 24. There are more issues that we encountered but we can't list them all. We tried to stick it out as long as we could to make our money back and to see if the advertised hype and ads by affiliates were accurate. We just couldn't take these issues anymore. Business to business, we tried to discuss some of these issues BEFORE writing this awfully negative review. After declining a partial refund or months "free" or mentorship, they refused to refund us fully. They also threatened to charge more if we didn't uninstall the app. Rest assured, uninstalling the app was ONE thing that worked!
