Good Luck to all of you.

Good Luck to all of you.

“Hi guys, let me tell you the other side of story. we are one of the original suppliers for doba. We have fill the orders doba send to us daily, before by email, now we got a website to log in. we receive orders from doba, we ship them out using our UPS or FEDEX accounts, then we may get paid or sometimes not. That’s why sometimes we got orders from other direct sellers. we rather ship for them before they paid higher prices.
doba is not a bad choice for starters, most factories won’t talk to you or supply you until you order in bulk, which you have to come up all the money for inventory, warehouse, insurance and labor cost. That’s why I think Doba is not a bad choice for starters, but if you want to do big, you need to talk to some one like us, you are ready to make big orders with us. We saw a company making $6 million sale a year from nothing. Bigger risk bigger returns always, I bet you all know. Good luck guys.”

Sam even if your company is selling tons of products does not mean the end user is making money. Most likely some of Dobas clients are stuck with products they cannot sell.

Also the if Doba orders tons of products they are not stuck with it. They can sell to liquidation houses and brick and mortal retailers. It’s all in the networking and regardless they are cranking in monthly profits from their clients if they sell or not.

Thanks if anyone has another sudjestion on this.

Doba, as well as most online dropshippers are middle-man suppliers…not true wholesalers.

In order to receive TRUE WHOLESALE PRICES…..you MUST have a BUSINESS LICENSE. TRUE WHOLESALERS will not sell products to you unless you have a TAX ID NUMBER…via BUSINESS LICENSE.

The people that have TRUE WHOLESALE CONNECTIONS dont usually give out their contact information…Why give out information to potential competition. Thats why they usually wont name their sources.

I cant tell you the names of TRUE WHOLESALERS…do some thorough research….but, if they dont ask for your TAX ID NUMBER or BUSINESS ID NUMBER….they aren’t TRUE WHOLESALERS…and are just middle-men…who have a direct connection to a TRUE WHOLESALER.

I hope this info helped someone.

I totally agree with Pat. DOBA is a total SCAM. Unfortunately, I didn’t read reviews before subscribing with them. Here is my story with them:

I subscribed for DOBA free trial. They advertise on their website that it is:
1) “100% risk free guarantee —if you aren’t satisfied with your free trial, simply notify us within your trial period, and you won’t pay a cent.”
2)”Lowest Wholesale Price Guarantee ”
THAT IS JUST BS!!!

After few days, I wasn’t interested in their subscription because:
1) I found their products overpriced. If you can sell them and make profit, you can also try selling ice cubes to Eskimos. The products they sell are often cheaper or they are the same price on e-bay. If you’re lucky, you can find some products on which you can try to make a 10% profit.
2) I saw many bad reviews concerning them on forums: people describe them as a scam and many people had problems with them.

I cancelled my subscription many days before the end of the free trial. I never logged in my doba account since then.

Today, I noticed that they CHARGED me $50 on my credit card and I am scared they charge me again.
I tried to talk to them but of course they don’t want to refund me.

I tried talking to my credit card company to cancel the charges but it wasn’t possible even if I had a copy of the support ticket I sent to cancel the subscription along with the confirmation that doba received it.
Their SCAM is very well studied:
1) It starts with the 7 day free trial.
2) A pushy sales representative who talks really well tries to sell you their amazing scam product at a very discounted price. He/she talks for a long time about how great their product is, he makes you feel like you are doing the deal of the year. They know you won’t use their product for a long time so they try to take as much as they can while you didn’t get the chance to really check their products. They offer you more than 70% off if you buy for 1 year.
3) Then, they charge your credit card. People who don’t check their bills often may get charged many times.

Now, I reported them to BBB and I’ll write about them in all the forums I find. I don’t know what BBB would do but I’ll let you guys know when I receive an answer. If you had a problem with doba, I think it is a really good idea to report them to BBB. If they receive many complaints concerning doba, they may do something.

In sum, STAY AWAY from DOBA if you don’t want to LOSE time and money.
