Hi everyone

Just wanted to ask if anyone had ever had experience with http://www.firstpointdropshipping.com

I've just registered with them and i'm already feeling like it was a mistake. I've not even received an email from them yet, to verify my account and get my password etc and I've paid an annual membership fee (oh dear)

It's one of these sites where you don't get to see the products until you've registered.

Since registering, I've done a little more reading up on the whole dropshipping experience; Perhaps I should have done this prior to registering, I hear you all shout

anyway, any thoughts/advice would be most welcome.

Thanks

When you see statements like this in the terms and conditions its not a good sign:


"ALL membership payments are NON REFUNDABLE in all circumstances"



I wouldn't go near them.

But let people know how you get on

Well, it's not looking good...

I've emailed them three times and got no reply. I tried to ring them twice today. The phone was picked up twice, but nobody spoke.

Dodgy!!
(I think this confirms the worst. Stay away from these scammers, people)

You live and learn

Now I've discovered that these people are linked to CHYANNES; a dropshipping company that has got an awful reputation (do a search on these forums with chyannes as a search term and see why)

Ah well, farewell £19.99, it was nice knowing you

You probably should of posted here before registering with them. We could have saved you that money!!! Don't pay for information lists (full stop).

Hi There,

Just to add to it, I when I purchased my dropshipping account with Chyannes (Obviously before I realised they were not as good as I expected and no I am wiser!), I received a free username and password for first point dropshipping.

Never used them, and the products haven't changed on there for the past year or two.

I think they charge about £29.99 for a 128mb mp3 player or something!!! They are about £8.99 in sainsburys!

Well since sharing my thoughts about the company in this forum, my password has mysteriously appeared in my email inbox.

I can now access the price lists of their products and yes, the prices are pretty ridiculous.

If I can somehow make back my £19.99 by using them as a dropshipper, I will. Then, I will immediately close my account. I don't hold out much hope though. I'll probably have to sell around twenty or so items to get anywhere near £19.99 profit!

Do they not have non mainstream products that may provide teh returns better, at least to refund your members fee..

[kewleb]

Do you mean can I order wholesale from them, rather than use them as a dropshipper?

If so, I think I can, yeah.

The prices are so ridiculous and the range of products is extremely limited. I don't think I'll even bother. Will just have to put this one down to experience i think
