    Disadvantages Disadvantages I received poor products at high prices

    If you are a retailer, you must be aware of the fact that the most troublesome thing for a retail buyer is to source reliable suppliers. In the past, whenever I dealt with any supplier, I always had the fear of getting scammed, but to do business I had to take risks. Well, what to say, my worst fear came true within a few days of joining Wholesale Pages, one of their suppliers scammed me badly. I received poor products at high prices which I managed to sell anyway but later received n number of complaints from customers, I had to take back the products and pay back the money to some of my ... more

    Advantages Advantages It's free

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's worthless

    This is a notoriously bad wholesale directory based in Pakistan that pretends to be UK based. My experience with this site has not been good at all, from their fake reviews here on Ciao they claim to list verified sellers which I know is untrue. Most of the listings are not wholesale but more retail sellers. Some of the retailers claim to offer wholesale prices but their prices are much higher than online retail prices and there is no room for profit. Also most of the prices exclude VAT which makes any hope for profit even less. It appears they are hiring someone to post fake reviews about ... more

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages disappointing information

    I am a pet supplies retailer dealing in pet leashes, mats and ID tags. Starting out new in the pet segment with just the capital inputs, I was anxious to find a trading platform where I could find products and learn business strategies. I got to know about Wholesalepages through Google and applied for membership. Little did I know that this is where the trouble would begin. Somehow my email was immediately passed to at least two spam lists, one of which I managed to get out of with some hard work. I continue to receive one newsletter over and over but have found a way to filter it out. The ... more

    Advantages Advantages only numbers.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages worst customer support

    I first visited this site back in July 2011. I was very excited because the products, prices and numbers looked good. I was still suspicious and I sent them an email to verify my doubts. They replied back saying they were being prosecuted and would refund me my money if I wasn’t satisfied with the results. Needless to say I only found retail intermediaries and wholesalers that can be found instantly with yellow pages and google. Virtually all prices quoted on the site are either for other products, no longer in stock, and most do not include value added tax or cost of delivery, making the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fake prices and statements on site

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes money for fake information

    My experiences with this site has been horrible! I've just recently been scammed by one of the suppliers on this list which resulted in a loss of at least 2 months of net profits as it stands. To learn that they are based in Pakistan and paying to post positive reviews has been a real blow, I have been in touch with others and there has been very little recourse so far. The information is also very outdated, many of the suppliers I came across no longer trade, were liquidated or have defrauded at least one trader. They will not refund under any circumstance despite the numerous pleas and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Appears good

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No verification on suppliers

    I lost money to two of their suppliers! one a dropshipper. I read somewhere that is was a reliable directory but upon inspecting listings myself now that I know I found I should have known better. My hopes were high but short lived won't be using again, my fault but still if they don't check suppliers they should say so themselves. Can't blame them cause it's free I should have known better. Anyway still looking for the elusive supplier that can sell to me at a good price, if anyone knows some please list here. I am looking for designer clothes or anything to do with accessories for mp3 ... more

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no refunds, wrong prices

    Major Internet fraud. I personally witnessed one of their fake reviews from what appeared to be a German seller. There are no German advertisers on the site, it’s just a big rip off. I figured it out too late when I started to get suspicious of the dreadful service I was receiving. When I contacted suppliers most of them didn’t reply, and the few that replied had no idea what I was talking about or where I got the prices from. It turns out the prices are not correct or are understated on purpose to give a misleading impression of earnings. They have refused to give me any refund, and Paypal ... more

    Advantages Advantages appearance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages poor services, poor premium membership, poor response from support and suppliers

    Operating an online store for retail customers is perhaps easier but doing the same for trade clients is definitely not. Most of the wholesale traders operate conventionally and the few who operate online are rightly scared of being scammed and are thus very careful. All these limitations contained the features offered by internet. Although online directories solved this issue to quite an extent but the fact remains that these directories couldn't maintain expected standards in terms of providing lists of valid online suppliers. I have taken free trail of many B2B directories. Honestly, when ... more

    Advantages Advantages Clean design

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too many scam suppliers are listed, outdated products, insufficient profit margins

    I wonder why some of these reviews sound like they were written by an Indian search engine optimisation company. Do not I repeat NOT go near this wholesale site. Wholesale pages airs this impression of legitimacy, but the suppliers are everything but. Got scammed twice, most suppliers are useless, and takes endless time to check on each. There are other wholesale directories that are 1000 times better. As I digged deeper looking for wholesale pages reviews in Google it appears they own a network of duplicated directories, so be very careful not to give your money away. What I also don't ... more

    Advantages Advantages Worthless membership, inexistent customer support, outdated information

    Disadvantages Disadvantages There is better information available free

    Do NOT, I repeat do NOT trust this site. I should start by saying that this website is the sole reason my business has failed, and more specifically my assumption that the suppliers in their database had been checked. I started my business using savings I had put aside for emergencies, not a lot of money anyway hoping to at least double it within a couple of months. I found this website through one of my searches, and thought the money they asked was reasonable. I began searching their listings and could only find 6 suppliers that related to my niche, two of them offered prices that suited me ... more
