Why is MegaGoods allowed on SaleHoo?

Posted 29 Dec 08 8:50 pm.
Any company that offers wholesale prices which can be beat by any online retail company is in my opinion a complete rip-off.
Every single item i looked up on this cos website was beat by at least 25% on every search I did at pricegrabber and alike sites.

I don't know why this company is allowed to advertise here.

Don't even waste your time looking at their site. A complete waste of time and energy.

Why someone would give this company any kind of kudos is beyond me.

I can give you 10 online retail websites you would do better buying from and many with low to free shipping.

Here are a couple sites that are legit sites and far superior.

buy.com
mpire.com
tigerdirect.com
walmart.com

If you re determined to still visit this lame company then go ahead.
But then type the model number into google search and see how much cheaper
you can get the item for.

Oh and don't fall for the trick that your paying for the dropship service. You can ship the item to yourself and then repack to your customer for much much less.

Ugh I hate companies like this.

such a bad feeling when you compare other suppliers. they suck period. Just another scam online.

I agree they are not scammers. however they are not cheap nor economical. I guess that is what I was trying to convey.

Megagoods is not a online scam but they are not a true wholesaler. They are basically a retailer that dropships. I used them over the holidays to sell some of the new iPod Touch's.

Well they are a scam because they are listed here on Salehoo as a supplier which they shouldn't be.

None of their prices beat any online retailer. I'm sorry buts its just the truth.

I fall somewhere in between wholesalelist's and planes opinions on this one.

I don't believe they are a scam in the true sense of the word as even though they are expensive, they do supply stock as ordered. Having said that, I certainly don't consider them a wholesaler.

Perhaps I am misjudging them here, but do they sell in volume at a reduced price?

Seems to me that they are just a drop shipper, nothing more, nothing less, and with all drop shippers you need to shop around for the best price because 9 out of 10 times you are dealing with a broker.

Planes just because they are listed here on Salehoo as a supplier does not make them a scam. If you have a problem with Salehoo having them listed as a supplier then you need to contact Salehoo about this matter. Megagoods has nothing to do with that. Megagoods does not make you buy from them but if you choose to do so they ship the products out to your customers in a timely fashion and the products are exactly as described. They are not stealing customers money so please explain to me how you consider them a scam? If you go to two websites and one has cheaper prices than the other then do you consider the website with the higher prices to be a scam?????

I agree with you 101 Megagoods is far from being a scam they ship out in a timely fashion and they a a good company. (as a dropshipper)
Yes Fudjj you are correct you pay them a little more for bulk and they
give you a better price. They also let you see their pricing before you
sign up with them or spend anything.

The thing is and we have said this 1000s of times they are drop shippers nothing more and you don't get the best price from drop shippers does that mean they are a scam no way.

You do see that a lot in the listings here dropshipper/wholesale.

What a load of garbage, dropshippers are no more wholesalers than I am the pope. It just confuses the situation for inexperienced people, I don't even want to think how many times I see a question asking for a good dropshipper/wholesaler.

It's bad enough that we have brokers advertised as wholesalers, but seriously....wholesale/dropshipper, Who on earth invented that one?

Is it any wonder that some people get confused with where to source products from with all these insane titles these places are listed as.

Maybe it's just me, but I have never seen such a creature as a genuine wholesaler and dropshipper combined!

Does anyone actually know of such an animal, one that wholesales, and I mean genuine wholesale with volume discounts, as well as dropships?

Yes Fudjj you are right the thing is people believe that they can go to one of these magic drop shippers and be millionaires in a couple months no one actually wants to do any work or have to spend money to start an online business.

Why the thought of work and actually investing in your business is not even an option or consideration to half these people they want a quick cheap fix that they think they will find from a drop shipper, but then they want to complain when the drop shippers prices are not low enough.
A drop shipper is not a wholesaler people can not comprehend the difference. I don't know how many times we have to say it.

I call them a scam because they misrepresent what they do.
It would be like Walmart saying they were dropshippers. Heck they have better prices.

And I sure many here would call it a scam.

Their watches I found to be about 25$ more than online retailers.

Their Zune about 10$ more

The only thing that they had from the 50 items I looked at which was lower than online retailers by about 12 $ was the PS3.

But I wonder what they charge for shipping?

Here is what they say on their landing page.

'Start Online Business! Sell on Ebay! Sell on Amazon! Stock your Internet Store!

We provide you with a large selection of brand name items at real wholesale prices. Our prices are so low you can start making money today!

MegaGoods.com is your direct online dropshipper with a very large selection of brand name items at TRUE wholesale prices.

We carry large selection of home electronics and household items that you can sell and start making real money without ever investing a single dollar in the inventory. '

Now I am sorry. If that is not a scam statement, I don't know what is.
They sell at real wholesale prices? You got to be kidding me. You can also tell
by their writing it is an Asian company so there goes any chance of a profit on PS3s when you have to pay for Asian shipping to the states.

maybe not because I might dropship Walmart items. Well not anymore since they added Paypal to thier payment process.

Asian writers always forget about the a's and the's.

I don't know what they charge for shipping but the USPS charges 110.00 bucks to send the item to Hong Kong.

Here is another one for newbies, Africans will usually start a sentance with Am, not I am.

Example, hello, am such and such from Wisconsin

That one might save you from a few Nigerian style scams

OK. Since I have some time right now and I am a little bored, I decided to do some research on Megagoods.com. I will be posting a main topic in suppliers of the same.

Megagood lists their address at 2741 S. Alameda ST LOS ANGELES CA.

Google earth has a neat little thing that lets you zoom into street level view.
You actually can see the street and all the buildings very very clearly. As if you are right there. The app. is free so anyone can do this. Believe me when I say you can read the parking signs.

After 20 minutes of roaming the street of S. Alameda, there IS NOT a 2741 S. Alameda. There is USI Floral Inc at 2910 S Alameda. And some sort of Solar company across the street on the odd side. Their sign is poorly made and I can't make it out. But I am pretty sure their address is 2579.

Now when I punch in 2741 it takes me to a 2759. There is NO 2741! And guess whats there???
An empty field. A completely barren grassy field taking up a whole block.

Now you can look yourself. Start at the solar company and see if theres anything in between them and the inport export business at 4109 called Cosstar. Nothing but grass.

Next, Megagood is also known as Universal Banner Network and getestore.com

Ok. Now I look up Getestores address. oh. And guess what? Another phantom
address. 1600 Naomi Ave. No such thing. hmm. Shows the middle of the street. So I say OK let me scan up and down the street. Nope nothing!

OK. Maybe this is just some kind of weird incident. I'll try Universal Banner Network. Maybe thats where they store the millions of dollars of incredible wholesale product. Oh yea I forgot at TRUE wholesale prices. Can't forget that.

Well looks like its a shared address with getestores address. 1600 Naomi.

I guess they have a super duper secret address where they store all their incredibly priced stuff.

OK. Now we have a company that has falsified its info to hosting sites.

Not real impressive for a supposed top tier Dropshipper Huh. A company with millions of dollars worth a true wholesale product.

They are supposed to drop ship for us and they don't even have a facility.

I will bet it is out of a storage unit or its actually an Asian company.
OR ONE GUY THATS GETTING RICH OF THIS SCAM!!

See, charge higher than retail prices,walk over to Newegg or Evertek. Both have a pickup window. Pick the stuff up and ship it.

Unless someone can give me legitimate data about this company and explain real good all the falsification of information I think its fair to call this company
one of the biggest scammers on the internet!

I think this is a fair statement. Don't you?

See what happens when I get bored? I really should keep myself more busy.

yes Google Earth is great. And really, I didn't think this was going to happen!

I thought OK. So maybe they are legit, just a terrible dropshipper.

Have to admit that I never doubted them because so many people use them, like you I just thought they were an expensive drop shipper....nothing unusual there of course, but that information you have turned up has really made me curious now.

I'm going to take a closer look myself when I get a moment.

It's also given me a new use for Google view, not just amusing myself by looking up my own driveway ; )
