247 Wholesale - feedback of my experience

Hello Everyone,

I have contacted that company and made a purchase recently. Below is my experience with the process:

I am yet to find out if 247 Wholesale is a scam for sure, but I do know that so far their customer service is sub-par to say the least:

* E-mail - once the order is place they do not respond
* Phone - 877-247 wholesale number works 1 in 7 days, you will be lucky to get through to an answering machine, more often then not you only hear static
* Website - is out-of-date, you can almost never get the items you see listed
* Invoices - the number on the invoice was different from the number I was actually charged
* Disclaimer - they mail you a disclaimer that basically states that everything they told you over the phone, wrote to you in an e-mail, sent to you as an invoice is not legally binding and does not matter. It also asks you to sign that you will not file any complaints or claims against them in any way, shape, or form. You can view that form here: dubdubdub dot 247wholesale dot com/purchase_agree dot pdf
* Location: address listed on their site does not match up with the business listed in that building.
* UPS tracking number - I was told I will receive the number the next day after my order - to day I have not received a single e-mail, including the e-mail with my tracking number.

Basically they go dark on you after they have your money, I would be very cautious when considering doing business with this so-called "verified" supplier.

That company should not be listed on this site, they are less-then-credible.

Quick update:

After I blocked my phone number, I was able to get through to the "Customer Service" representative ( it's the same person every time). I asked her why I have not received my tracking # yet, I was told again that I will get it as soon as UPS provides one. Per our original phone conversation, my order was supposed to be shipped on the 12th and I was supposed to get my tracking # on the 13th. Now, I am being told that the order just shipped today (10/14) and I SHOULD get my tracking # tomorrow.

Still shady, I will see if I actually get my order / tracking # and update this post.

Hi bpotux,

What you are going through is so unfortunate. We had a completely different experience when we dealt with them. But I guess over time things do change :(

That company should not be listed on this site, they are less-then-credible.

As inept as they may seem, we keep suppliers with negative reviews in our directory to basically serve as a warning so people will know and will avoid them. Often it's helpful to know what suppliers to avoid wasting time with, as well as what supplier are great to use.

We do hope you receive your orders :) Also, we would really appreciate it if you could add your review on the supplier's profile page, Link hidden: Login to view

By the way, I have contacted them on your behalf to follow up on your concerns. I will let you know once I receive any feedback from them.

Do keep us posted! All the best...

Hi bpotux,

I sent an email to 24/7 Wholesale earlier today inviting them to comment on your post. I received a reply from Christine of 24/7 Wholesale. For your reference please see her reply below:

Sorry,

I have no idea who that is or why they would complain.
We are not currently experiencing problems with anyone so I am left clueless and
feel no need to post.

Thanks and have a great weekend.

Update on the matter,

It has now been a week after the order. I still have not received my UPS tracking number nor did the shipment come yet. It's very strange that she has no knowledge of any issues as I have sent them numerous e-mails and left at least 3 voicemails.

You can forward them my e-mail - bpotux@comcast.net - and let them know that unless I get either the shipment or the tracking number or an explanation of what's going on I will be filing a fraud claim to my bank and a complaint to BBB of Trenton, NJ.

Thanks for all your help in the matter.

Hi bpotux,

I'll be sure to forward your contact details to Christine and I will try to ask her again to post on the forum to address your concerns.

I will update you soon!

Cheers :)

Hi bpotux,

I have sent them an email regarding your concerns. I have also invited them to the forum so they can openly address your concerns. I do hope Christine or someone from their company will address your concerns.

If you want, here is her email address christine@247wholesale.com - try sending an email directly to her.

Hope this helps. Please let us know how this progresses.

I am sure this group will deliver. Let them the get job done with out trashing them in the forums. If its a 3 week old order then I would worry but a week old? Some people need to relax.

Final disposition:

Package never came.
Customer service never answered.
Filed a dispute with my bank and got a refund.
Filed a BBB complaint.
These guys are a scam and a ripoff.

Shop there at your own risk, or better yet - don't.

Too bad they didn't. It does not take 3 weeks to ship 2 day UPS from and to the U.S.

They are an example of a bad business and a scam. They get your money and disappear.

Order is 3 weeks old, never got a single email or phone call. Scam.

Well if you filed a chargeback and got a refund then that is awesome.
thanks for keeping us up to date

This is so unfortunate, bpotux. The only good thing is you were able to get a refund.

I have tried inviting them to comment or help resolve the issue, giving them the chance to air out their side of the story but they thought the whole thing was a joke. I have not received any further emails after I told them that we were not joking and that what was happening was no joke at all.

If its okay with you, I would suggest that you add your review on their profile page to warn others about their service. Looking forward to you review.

All the best!
