Zendrop ‑ Dropshipping & POD

Easy to use however;

This isnt a free supplier website, it is based of the amount of products listed onto your store.

Meaning depending on the amount of products you list, you will be charged starting at 1 product listed on your store.

This isnt good for starting dropshippers, as you will be charged after a month for the products listed without you knowing.

My issue with those drop-ship apps is that they make u you the monthly fees! plus they charge you the higher price for the product! so either take your profit from the product or the monthly subscription! so for that i have stopped using them! very expensive usage fees for low bar quality products!

I've found this company almost impossible to work with effectively. If there are too many variations I can't import them into Shopify, and the alternative is so time consuming. You would think Zendrop could create a simple download CSV file for easy manipulation and management of imports.

I've run into a ton of technical glitches where things don't work like they are supposed to. I added products that were supposedly fulfilled by Zendrop to my shop, but when it's time to fulfill the orders I'm told I have to link the product, but the link product button doesn't work.

I've tried several ways to get help, but it's all AI bots now and all I get are instructions given in the chatbot but there is no way to talk to a live person. Also, the instructions I was given with the "self help" article didn't work. But again, no way to actually talk to someone.

The only way I can talk to a real person and that is if there is really a person on the other end is through email, so even though I have orders I need fulfilled there is no way to fulfill them and there is no one I can talk to about fulfilling them.

If Zendrop is a real company, they need to keep real people available to answer questions when we need them answered.

I had such high hopes, but with so many issues, and no support, I'll have to find another dropshipper who actually feels the need to take care of their customers when help is needed.

Avoid them!!!

Our experience with Zendrop has been extremely disappointing and has negatively impacted our small business. While they do offer refunds when we need to refund our customers (which is appreciated), this policy doesn’t make up for the sheer volume of issues we’ve faced. Here are the key problems:

Unhappy Customers: We've had a significant number of orders returned to sender due to Zendrop's inability to meet proper delivery deadlines. This has resulted in us having to refund nearly a third of our orders.

Incompetent Support: Their customer service is incompetent most of the time and takes forever to respond to concerns. Instead of resolving issues efficiently, we’re often left waiting with no real answers.

Sudden Price Increases: We've experienced sudden and unexplained increases in product costs, making it difficult to maintain profit margins and serve our customers effectively.

Constant Refunds: While their refund policy is the one positive, it’s not a great feature when we have to rely on it constantly because they can’t fulfill orders properly.

Zendrop's selection, especially with U.S.-based suppliers, is extremely limited, which makes it difficult to find quality, competitive products for our customers. On top of this, their products are significantly overpriced, and the shipping costs are absurdly high in comparison with their competitors. The inflated prices and lack of variety make it nearly impossible to maintain profit margins or offer value to customers. For a platform that advertises convenience and quality, their offering falls far short of expectations.

Zendrop’s inability to handle fulfillment reliably has cost us not just money but also the trust of our customers. For small businesses like ours, every interaction matters, and unfortunately, Zendrop has failed to meet even the most basic expectations of a third-party fulfillment provider.

We cannot recommend Zendrop to other small business owners and are transitioning to a new supplier to avoid further damage to our brand.

I started using Zendrop in May 2024 when I set up my Shopify store, opting for the $79/month plan based on Shopify’s recommendation. As a newcomer to dropshipping, it took a few months to get my store running smoothly, but once I started making sales, I quickly encountered issues with Zendrop.

Unfortunately, Zendrop frequently dropped the ball on orders. They would process an order, only to notify me days later that the product was out of stock. On one occasion, they informed me—after several days—that an item couldn’t be shipped to a U.S. address. I also encountered products with incorrect descriptions or images, and even fake products that violated patent laws. The lack of proper size charts and unclear color variant labeling, such as "4456" or "style 1," added to the confusion.

One of the most frustrating experiences was when Zendrop charged me more than the listed price for a product. After confirming the original price on their site, I contacted customer service, only to be put on hold for 30 minutes. I was eventually told the price had changed, and they refused to honor the price that was currently listed.

These issues, while seemingly small, compounded over time and negatively impacted my business and my customers' experiences. I’m disappointed with Zendrop and their lack of reliability so for my business I will be looking for a different drop shipping vender.

If you want to lose money, go ahead and work with this company. They claim a max processing time of 5 days, but that’s a joke. After waiting 5 days for a product I was selling, I reached out to customer support and found out the product was still in production. This meant I had to cancel orders and take a loss. On top of that, they won’t refund your ad costs even though the delays are their fault. And guess what? This didn’t just happen once it happened twice.

The second time, I checked in with customer support after 3 days to make sure everything was on track. They told me it was all good, but two days later, I found out the supplier was still in production.

To make things worse, their product prices are about double what you’d find on other platforms. And to top it all off, you’re paying $79 just to cancel your orders. Ridiculous.

UPDATE 11/25

Third time this has happened. After 5 days, they only managed to fulfill about 5 out of 20 orders, and now, after all this time, they follow up to say the products are out of stock again! I wrote to Austin, and it’s been 4 days with no reply! Amazing management.

Avoid at all costs.

I only installed it, it saïd that they will only bring costs when using the app. I have never used the app once and now they have taken $30 for no reason do please watch out for this scam

Be careful. I installed this app to test it out. I never actually used it but was secretly charged $19 every month until I noticed.

my zendrop can't not be used. who shall I refer to? I tried many ways can't use the ai. storebuilder. I tried uninstall the app and try to restore and reconnect. But it says Your account XXXgmail.com doesn't have permission to view this page. Try using a different account or going back to the Stores List page.then I follow the step and start another account but now it says Zendrop allows only one active store connection. It is too hard to use.

I had the opportunity to try Zendrop, but as soon as I installed it, I was charged a fee directly before I even started using it. So I immediately deleted it and sent it back to CJ dropshipping. I think you should not use it at all. It is an application that has a small number of products and requires money for everything. Good thing we have CJ.
