I didn't work with them because i didn't find cheap items , but i can tell you that i talked with some of representatives and they was really kind and tried to help !

Hey, so far I am so happy with Novatech Wholesale. Their website is always updated. A lot of suppliers just never update their website and that's not good because we wouldn't know if they still have the items or not. I hope I will make more and more sales with them..

admom2012

Yes them prices are so high you can't even mark up if they are buying wholesale they trying to sale you retail price. Beware shipping goes up with more in the cart on the same item instead of having if I buy 10 or a case I pay a flat shipping. Don't do it you can go to China and spend less with shipping over here. Then they selling on EBay themselves and not doing real good because the prices are to high to begin with. I don't I is how this got in Salehoo and who did the review but they need to do it over two thumbs Down people not stupid.

malva

Good Company. The problem is the cost of shipping is high.

admom2012

You guys would make more sales if you flat rate that shipping seriously it is over the top

and any buyer can see that who would pay $30 shipping $4 dropshipping fee for something that cost $21 that is one item don't add two the shipping goes up. I don't know how you all do business like that don't make no good sense. You will have lots of business if you do flat shipping drop the dropshipping fee period. I am already buying from you anyway and you are not a wholesaler you are a retailer with them crazy prices. I don't even know how you made it on Salehoo. That one thing would of cost me $55 to buy. Plus amazon fees probably another $5.34 so $60 and where do you suggest I mark it up too. $70 and nobody would pay that for that item. $21 was good. I know you all can't have that many customers you probably have a lot of inventory you can't push out being greedy. When you can make more by doing the right thing for the buyers drop all that shipping and dropshipping fees you probably do a lot better. I run an amazon group and I was going to mention this website after I seen the prices heck no. I will go to alibaba first even aliexpress it is cheaper.

malva

I am 100% with you. You know any other site that makes money selling on Ebay.

That group you run on amazon?

I agree that the prices on Novatech are more like retail than wholesale and then when you add in the shipping fee your losing money trying to sell on Amazon. I spoke to one of the customer service reps on the phone about this and after a few questions he said he had other customers he had to get to, and so I let him go. I won't be using Novatech for sure now.

Ive taken alot of time creating an inventory for my website 50% of it is from novatechs inventory list.... i havent purchased anything yet..my site launches in january... i should have researched the prices .comparing other sites...novatechs prices are not at the wholesale level..my fault completely..for not researching....such a rookie maneuver....first of all..novatech customer service is top notch...since ive communicated with them.. But My problem is like most people im hearing...im sorry but their prices are retail prices not wholesale... i understand nobody can compete with walmart or ebay or amazon...but in this case their supposed wholesale prices .cant compete with walmart, ebay or amazons so called retail prices...bottom line is we are paying for drop shipping service.... within every novatech items pricing.im back to square one finding more suppliers... I am so lame...i thought once my novatech sellers account was verified id see actual wholesale pricing....again my fault....i listed with their ebay product manager..all my auctions have no pictures (gallery) in the ebay search results..another waste of time

Hi Japheth and welcome to the forum,

You have clearly identified a few areas where you have gone wrong, but the positive is that you have the ability to identify. If you can do that, then you also have the ability to learn from your errors in moving forward.

One thing that stands out to me from your post is that you may not yet have a good grasp on different pricing structures between dropshipping and actual wholesale, which are completely different. So you may find this interesting.

I would also suggest having a read of this as well, it might help you understand how pricing works on sites such as eBay

They are a great company indeed but the prices on eBay won't fly. Perhaps you can try bundling some of the items together as a special holiday sale.

It is fine.

Hi Elizabeth and welcome to the forum,

That's quite story and a shocking experience I'm sure, but thanks for sharing it. If it can save someone else from making the same mistake, then at least some good can come of it.

The lines between ethics of a supplier and a retailer have been getting very blurred from quite some time now, ever since online sales really started to take a foot hold. Now you will find some suppliers treat marketplaces like eBay as just another retail customer, all they see is the opportunity to make sales and they draw no distinction between the two.

Of course that just adds to the difficulty of making a dropshipping business difficult on mass platforms like eBay, but it's the way it is unfortunately. Online sales have changed the rules for everyone.

I don't understand. Since I am paid member of SaleHoo, why do I have to pay for membership with Novatech?

fudjj

Hi Kalpesh and welcome to the forum,

Not all approved suppliers charge for access, but some do. Unfortunately, this is something we have no control over as the suppliers listed in our directory are all independent suppliers and set their own charges. Of course it's up to members if they choose to deal with suppliers who do have such charges or choose to deal with suppliers who don't

Cheers

acharya.kalpesh

Thank you Mark for your prompt response. I was expecting Novatech to respond to this. I don't mind paying membership fee for any supplier as long as they have substantial number of product and cheaper than ebay/amazon. I have noticed that Novatech doesn't have enough products and their price are higher than ebay/amazon.

fudjj

No problems, Novatech don't have much interaction on the forum, but hopefully I was able to assist somewhat with your question. Regarding your other question, I've moved that to our Supplier Wanted category, support will service that for you there.

Cheers

I was looking through the wholesale directory looking for a dropship supplier, when I came across Novatech. They are offering a turnkey website that can be linked with e-bay and salehoo stores. Just wanted to know if anyone that is running a Novatech website, and are you making money? Would love to get the skinny, before I jump in.

Thanks

prices look way to high to resell online

They are way out in left field. If you change your selling price say cost plus 15% they auto update

it automatically puts it where they want it. If you want to take care of that issue with support

you get an email saying it will cost $200.00. Are you kidding me. They want to price it for you and in todays

world fat chance of getting that price. You can get it cheaper at WalMart, ebay, Amazon. These people are not

very good with customer service. Check out their locations 3000 Kennedy Way and 1901 Mineral court Suite F

Bakersfield Ca. and see if you can find out where34,000 plus merchandise comes out of.
