Zendrop ‑ Dropshipping & POD

Extremely Disappointed with Zendrop's Decline in Service

I’ve been using Zendrop for a while and used to be satisfied with their customer service—but this recent experience has been beyond frustrating.

My client received a damaged item, so I contacted Zendrop on April 10th requesting a replacement and included clear photos of the damage. Brenda Sorongclo responded and asked for the photos again on the 11th, which I resent. Then… silence.

On April 14th, Brenda messaged me asking if I needed anything else—as if I hadn’t already requested a replacement. I replied that I was waiting for her to confirm the replacement. Finally, six days after the original request, I get a message saying they can only replace part of the product. And if I wanted the full item replaced, I’d need to ask my client for a video.

What? A video, six days later? It’s my brand on the line, not Zendrop’s. This delay and confusion made me look completely unprofessional to my customer. I ended up refunding my client out of my own pocket just to resolve it.

And then—only after I told Zendrop not to bother with a replacement—they suddenly offered me a refund. Why couldn’t that have been done in the first place?

Unfortunately, I’ll be moving away from Zendrop. They used to offer reliable service, but this experience has shown a huge drop in quality and accountability. I can't risk my business reputation on inconsistent support

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.

it integrates with the shopify really easy. I can't complain about that. however, I installed this app into my store and added products. then i went to purchase something from my store to make sure everything worked and to see how long it would take to get the products. well, the purchase went through smoothly... but, I never recieved the products and I haven't been able to contact anyone to fix the issues. the supplier is a scam. they sent a tracking number for my order.... it has been 3 weeks since the order and the tracking number is continually updating with a non-existent route. (there is no shipment)... this happens a lot when you order products off facebook. it is just a scam.

I've had a consistently disappointing experience with Zendrop to date. The customer service is poor, and the fulfilment standards are well below expectations. Multiple customer orders have needed to be refunded due to inconsistencies in product quality and colour. What’s not made clear upfront is that a single order may be fulfilled by multiple suppliers, leading to mismatched items arriving with the customer.

In cases where only part of the order is incorrect, Zendrop will only refund the item that is wrong—even though the entire order has to be refunded to the customer, as it no longer meets their expectations. This leaves the seller to absorb the full cost of refunds, lost ad spend, and a damaged customer relationship.

The support team is extremely limited—I’ve spoken to the same few agents repeatedly—and unfortunately, they’ve offered little resolution or accountability. They do not have a complaints process so you are stuck in a loop of tickets and chats. Even worse, some customers received items made from materials that didn’t match the product listing, suggesting there’s no quality assurance process in place. (was supposed to be memory foam as listed, item arrived with cotton filling and I was told thats ok as it was "memory cotton" wtf)

Overall, the platform lacks transparency, reliability, and proper support. I would strongly recommend working directly with vetted AliExpress suppliers instead to avoid the added fees, poor communication, and lack of quality control that has come to define my experience with Zendrop. AVOID

Terrible service
Terrible platform with constant delays, awful support, and very limited growth potential. I don’t recommend it. My package went missing and they said they can only issue a refund after 60 days… unbelievable.

I installed this app and did not use it. In their description, they say that they will charge you for usage but they went on to take money from my account. It seems like they use the word usage to blind people to subscribe to their services so that you think that you will only be charged when you have sold sold their products. I want my money back! How can i pay 60 dollars for nothing?

It is the WORST Dropshipping experience with products and logistic. Very limited products to choose and logistic takes forever to ship and arrive. It is not an automatic system, meaning that you have to be checking everyday availability of the product because they have not an automatic system to mark a product as sold out when they have no more available. The option to add products that they don't have is really bad, because they are not going to have it never, that means that when you sell the product, they are not sure to find the same exact product to be ship to the customer. You have to be sure to check every day your app because when you sell a product you have to press fulfill, something else that is not automatic. Don't waste your money with this app. The only positive thing that they have is that when you are "lucky" to reach an agent, they answer fast and work proactively to try to solve your problem as they can, because procedures and logistic are not part of their roles, they are just there as customer service representatives and their work is trying to help you. The system to reach a representative is not easy because they have an IA with answers that never have the answer that you need.

Can't give 0 stars so giving 1. This app is not what it used to be before. I respected Jared Goetz for his vision and his mission. He writes that one of the rules he lives by is to work on a problem every day on linkedin, and someday you will see the result. But one fine day, he woke up and changed the whole policy for startups that would stangle the startups. Please do not choose them as your dropshipping partner or work over there. I don't think it is now a company that is drophipping partner-centric.

I was charged for two months without any prior notification, even though my store was never published or used. Zendrop refused to refund the April charge, citing a strict 5-day refund policy, despite the fact that I never utilized their services. This approach feels unfair and lacks transparency. I would caution others to be wary of such billing practices.

I was barely outside of the refund window without even realizing I would be charged. It's been 8 days since I was billed with no sales or usage and I had no idea. They made no exception for me, seems like they don't care too much about their customers. I was planning on coming back to the service at another time as a paying customer, but that ship has sailed.
