Is Salehoo a scam? You be the judge.

As is the case with any product or service garnering attention on the internet, there will always be a plethora of folks who love the product or service, and of course, many who hate it. Salehoo is no exception.

A simple online search on Salehoo will bring up all kinds of websites about this wholesale and drop ship directory website, but, how can you know which ones to believe? Some folks say Salehoo is a scam, others think it is the best thing to come along since the invention of the automobile. How do you know who to believe? Well, I have found over the course of many years of online research, you can almost never tell. Probably not the answer you wanted, but it is the truth. Let me give you an example.

Let’s say someone joins Salehoo. They research a company that offers products they want to sell. They buy some of the products, list them on ebay, and…they don’t sell. Now, this person has paid a fee to join Salehoo. They have also invested hundreds, if not thousands of dollars purchasing products to sell, and now, they are out all that money. Sure, they have a right to be upset, but in this case, no at Salehoo. Salehoo, is a directory site. Which means it lists companies. It does NOT sell products. That has to be brought out upfront. I am not saying Salehoo is good or bad, I am just saying you can’t get mad at them because your product didn’t sell. Product research is the only thing that will prevent this from happening. If you bought a product at too high a price to resell…well, that is your fault, plain and simple. IN addition, if you have a problem with a company that is listed on Salehoo, again, I think they are not the ones to yell at.

If you hire a plumber that doesn’t perform, do you then attack the yellow pages because that is where you found the plumber? No, of course not. Now, let’s look at the opposite scenario. Someone joins Salehoo, does research, finds a product, orders a shipment, and sells them at a profit. Now you have someone who is extremely happy with Salehoo. The result? Salehoo is not directly responsible for EITHER scenario. They provided information for members to use to obtain a result. The result, either positive or negative, has more to do with the individual and their business process than it does with Salehoo.

Now, having only researched Salehoo for a short time, I cannot attest to the overall quality of the business itself. It does seem that their website provides what it promises too though. The only way to know for sure is to spend time perusing all the features of the website. After a few hours of research, it all seems to be there.

Another claim I have seen made is that Salehoo will threaten to sue anyone who posts a negative review about the company. Again, I cannot refute this, as it is has not been my experience. What I WILL say is, the internet provides a voice to a lot of people. Just about anyone can say anything and get it out to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of ears. If Salehoo believes that a member is spreading false information or twisting the facts of an experience and then speaking negatively in a public forum, then Salehoo would have a right to defend itself.

So, is Salehoo a scam? They offer information for a fee. As far as I can tell, the info they offer is on the site. That has been my experience. As always, you must decide for yourself.

Pros and Cons of Salehoo, an internet wholesaler resource

Pros of Salehoo:

• Extensive lists of wholesalers and drop shippers
• Description and rating for each company listed is helpful in making a decision
• Educational content provided can help new members and experienced sales people increase their chances of success
• Interactive forum allows members to communicate with each other
• Membership fee is reasonable and is for lifetime, so no monthly membership dues

While the features above were ones I like, you would have to check it out for yourself. There are always differing opinions, and the format and content provided may or may not be what you are looking for.

Cons of Salehoo:

• Fee based membership (while the cost is reasonable, you can still find companies to deal with for free)
• Company ratings-some have stars next to their names rating the company, but many are not rated at all
• You can’t actually buy the products through Salehoo; it only provides info of companies you can buy from. Some of those companies charge a fee to allow you to see their product line

Overall, Salehoo provides a lot of information. The time you save in going here versus simply searching individually online can certainly be worth the investment if you lock into a relationship with a good company.  While a company may have gotten a decent rating on Salehoo, there is no guarantee that your experience will be the same. Finding profitable products to sell can certainly make you money, but you still must invest time and energy in the process, and Salehoo may be a helpful tool to help some in that process.
