Spocket: US & EU Dropshipping

Extremely Slow Support & Unresponsive Suppliers — Not Reliable for New Businesses

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Spocket deserves a clear and honest account for other small business owners.

I waited over a month for Spocket’s team to resolve an issue that prevented me from placing even a basic sample order. The supplier I selected never completed their Stripe setup, and while Spocket repeatedly said they were “following up,” there was no progress for weeks.

During this time, I couldn’t order products, test anything, or properly operate my store. I had already built my website around these items, only to discover the supplier was completely unresponsive and effectively unreachable.

When I eventually cancelled my subscription due to the platform being unusable, obtaining a refund became another prolonged process. I was initially offered partial compensation (20%) or a complimentary extension instead of a straightforward refund. After further escalation, Spocket agreed in writing to refund two months — however, only one month was refunded initially.

What followed was a series of generic, repetitive responses and shifting support agents, with no clear timeline or confirmation for the second refund. Despite multiple follow-ups, the issue remained unresolved until I ultimately had to involve my bank to recover the remaining amount.

While individual support agents were polite, the overall system feels fragmented and slow, particularly when supplier issues arise. For new businesses that rely on momentum, testing, and timely setup, this lack of responsiveness can be costly.

I appreciate that the full refund was eventually completed, but the process involved unnecessary delays, inconsistent communication, and pressure to adjust or remove my honest review.

For transparency and fairness to other merchants, I’m keeping this feedback public. If Spocket significantly improves supplier accountability and customer support consistency, I’d be open to revisiting this review. Until then, I recommend approaching with caution.

I love using Spocket. They have made adding products to my shop a stress free process. I especially love Eleanor from customer service. She was such a delight. She not only helped me revolve an issue I was having but also offered valuable information and advice to help my business succeed.

UPDATED REVIEW 1/26/26:
We are lowering our review from 2 stars to 1. We will most likely be removing this application from out store effective immediately. Spocket has made it clear to us they have no idea what they are doing. Their founder is obviously not caring about the product anymore we even reached out to him multiple times on LinkedIn.

Customer service is awful. They can never correct issues in a timely fashion. Supplier inventory is NOT real time synced with their system. They take months (not the 5-7 business days they claim) to refund you for products and if you open a chargeback they pass that along to their suppliers taking literally no blame upon themselves. They conveniently "don't tell the truth" by sidestepping and providing fluff responses not attempting to solve issues raised. Our operations have become a nightmare and they have cost us thousands of dollars worth of issues from missed ROI in ad spend, customer frustration, overhead dealing with problems caused by them, and much more.

They are horrendous, incapable of solving problems. Inventory is fake, items are not represented effectively, and they never give your money back.

OLDER REVIEW 01/05/23:
We have been a long time Spocket user now for over two years. We have grown very disappointed with our experience with Spocket. There have been many behavioral problems that have started to drive us away from them as our business has been scaling upward. For starters a massive order for jackets, which initially was a large issue because (allegedly according to the supplier who also failed to supply full evidence of this) the full shipping charges were not applied to our checkout. Shipping charges that the supplier wanted to increase outside of the charges Spocket was applying. Which created a delay in shipping, and withholding of items we had already paid thousands of dollars for. Spocket did rectify this situation admittingly by offering us some clarity in our agreement to them... but after considerable amounts of stress, weeks and weeks of time, and an angry customer. Now the jackets came back small and we are being expected to hold the bag on a order that costed us thousands of dollars, when our customer has even agreed to pay all return costs and other overhead incurred while even offering to buy more in addition to larger sizes! Their customer service team continues to ask our customer to provide outlandish amounts of photo evidence which they have, and continue to ask for more on behalf of the supplier without copying us to their correspondence so we have no clue if our request to pay in full for any overhead costs of returns are being communicated. We have, time and time again, asked them to copy us and we are just met with being ignored frequently by their staff. Our client is old, so shame on them for not realizing how hard it is to take a photo not to mention how frustrated he is with this experience - and we have told them the truth. He was even in pictures sent to them! Further on another small order, they messed up the return address which we provided to our customer. They omitted a 1 from the number. The shipment got sent back to our customer, and reasonably so, they are looking for compensation to send it a second time. Spocket's staff refuted us when we called them out on their mistake and said it wasn't a mistake they just missed the 1!?!? Seriously, that is still a mistake? When we press them on paying for this return because of this mistake they talk around it and also go silent.... a common trend when they are clearly in the wrong they just stop talking. We used to love Spocket as it was a great alternative to AliExpress. But now their handling of a scaling business is not working out too well. The only thing keeping us here right now is the limited availability of other alternatives to Spocket on the marketplace. Their item selection is also becoming a bit unfeasible to scale properly as their costs are growing too high.

I tried to give Spocket another try, but it’s just not going to work out with us. I can’t afford to keep continuing to refund customers due to sellers not shipping orders in a timely fashion.

The platform is ok if you have no issues but once a supplier doesn’t ship, Spockets response time is outrageous. I will no longer be using this platform once we receive a resolution on this last order. It’s too inconsistent and hurting our business.

i paid 60/month for 3 months to test out during the development and the app had constant issues and failures, the support werent able to help ever and usually the solution is removing the app from your shop and readding. im tired of no actual support for the money you pay

2 jours d’utilisation et on me débite ma carte. J’ai contacté le service client, ils m’ont promis un remboursement que je n’ai jamais eu. Le mois d’après je reçois encore un débit alors que j’avais résilié et supprimé l’application. Très déçu de leurs part.

Will we seriously have to pay for access in 2026, even though other applications are free? No thanks .

After i have posted earlier today regarding my bad experience with spocket, the operation manager herself has contacted me to tackle the issue and appologize on the way the customer service had dealt with my complaint.

She was really professional and has resolved my issue, i have been offered 3 month free of charge and a full refund for the period where i couldn't use my account for more than a month and no body could address my problem.

I am looking forward to have to change the way i perceived the spocket team and i hope for a positive experience going now forward.

Thank you!

Just hope you never have an issue with them. I did not recall purchasing a year membership and as soon as it was deducted from my account I contacted Spocket to see if it were possible to receive a refund. One of the reps said they would get back to me in 48 hours. I never heard back. I contacted them again and over several conversations, not only was nothing resolved but they also stopped answering me, which I consider very disrespectful. I would not work with them again and would recommend Zendrop or Syncee for someone looking to dropship as they have better customer service.

As a beginner in dropshipping, Spocket made everything so simple. The interface is clean, products are high quality, and I don’t have to worry about long shipping times. Integration with Shopify is seamless. This app gave me confidence to start my store the right way..
