The Wholesale Forums

Hi. After some reading , i think there isn't any doubt that "Worldwide Brands" and "Salehoo" are the two best wholesale/dropship directories around the Internet.

What is your opinion on them? Which is the best and is it useful to buy a membership with either of them to start a good business . There are good suppliers for a person living in the European Union

Thanks

Worldwide Brands are certainly the more trusted, in terms of opinions of this community and based on past discussions. Salehoo does however offer more of a range of products/suppliers.

Worldwide Brands also pride themselves on having a comprehensive list verified supply sources. Salehoo in comparison relies on the opinions of their members and confessed experts to determine a suppliers authenticity.

A lot of discussions have taken place in the past involving both these and other wholesale sourcing directories, search the forums to find these.

Salehoo costs $67 and world wide brands cost $397 - salehoo isn't worth $67 so I don't see how world wide brands is worth anywhere near that. Their are members on salehoo who have both and think salehoo is better...

My advice would be to go with neither

Now for a Moment of Truth! Worldwide Brands is a very reputable organization, but I personally feel they may be too successful. Chris Malta, the owner, started an online Dropship Source Directory many years ago. It was not cheap, about $ 69.95 a year, if I remember correctly. But it was accurate and the suppliers listed were legitimate.

However, it got too popular and soon everyone was using the same relative handful of suppliers. So, you kept seeing the same exact products all over eBay and the rest of the net. Good guy, good company, just that everyone picked the same sources.

Well, that's changed now. They are now called OneSource and with a $ 299 lifetime membership you get not just dropshippers, but wholesalers. More for your money, but more money, too.

All along, on different forums, when Chris Malta, World Wide Brands (the company name), Dropship Sources Directory and now OneSource comes up there is a mixed reaction. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Some people resent paying for a list. (but do it, then bad-mouth it anyhow). Others simply expect too much. Buying the information is not going to put the money in your bank account, it's just telling where you can go for products.

So, there are both good and bad reports on this one. All along I've felt that there may have been too many sellers with their straws in the same milkshake, so to speak. But, I also believe I should make you aware that this resource is out there, that they have thousands of happy members. As the old saying goes - "You pays yer money and you takes yer chances."

It might be just what you are looking for. A one stop resource. And I have been told several times they do honor their money-back offer. You've got nothing to lose, and can possibly gt all of the information you'll ever need to be an online success.

There are threads here on them, including some from folks who did ask for a refund by email and had it in their PayPal account the next day. No hassle at all. Join, try, and if you don't like it, get a refund.

And from now until Midnight Nov 30 (Pacific time) you can save an extra $ 25 on all things from Worldwide Brands.

Neither may be suitable, it depends what you're hoping to source. Maybe you could give some details?

Does anyone know where I can source 100% genuine branded skincare - Elemis, Decleor, Clarins, Estee etc etc.
Have been looking for days but without signing up to endless expensive directories it appears I'm struggling.
Thank you - very new to this as you can tell and just lost my job so all help very appreciated.
