On January the 10th 2022 I paid $1,997 for a Premium DropShipLifeStyle (DSL) membership for life with one bank credit card via Paypal, and I also paid $2,000 with a different card of a different bank for a done-for-you website package, that is DSL builds a business dropship website for you.
After watching modules 1 and 2 of the training I realized that It was not for me, as I had thought that It would be much simpler and straight forward to implement the whole system. Moreover the DSL training is missing information for non-USA citizens or people living outside of the USA about what type of company to open, may it be sole proprietor, LLC, C Corp, etc. In a few words, we only realize that some things are not for us when we start doing them and not before. In addition the DSL keyword research tool does not work for my country, Spain, in case I wanted to do any keyword research or any market research in my own country.
On the other hand I started asking for a refund within the first 10 days after I paid them, then I did all what they ask for in order to get a refund: I chose a niche, found 20 business suppliers, brainstormed 50 niche ideas and built a website to prove them that I have done my work. In this way on January the 24th 2022 they accepted my refund and canceled my membership right away, so I don't have access to the training videos and premium content anymore.
Almost right away they refunded me the $2,000 for the done-for-you website package but It took them till February the 10th 2022 to refund the 1,997 for the Premium DropShipLifeStyle membership, that is It took them 15 business days to refund me, just because the support team as they themselves said to me, receive thousands of e-mails a day and had not read or paid attention to the e-mail in which I explained the very first day in which they issued me the other refund, on January the 24th 2022, that the missing refund was a transaction paid by Paypal.
Unfortunately I was refunded $111.29 less than what I paid for the DropShipLifeStyle Premium Membership, allegedly because the Euro-US exchange rate was different at the time of the refund. Anyway, every time I pay something through Paypal in a currency other than the euro, which is the currency of my home country in Spain, I always end up receiving a refund that is less than the amount that I paid.
Alll in all DropShipLifeStyle seems to be a serious company, that cares about its members, therefore making a profitable dropship business following Anton Kraly's system won't be that straight forward as it may seem, and will add many other expenses to its already expensive membership price: Shopify web hosting, specific business phone service, business e-mail service, paid website add-ons, etc.
Moreover the support team needs to improve a little bit as it seems that they miss reading important e-mails which may end up undermining the trust of its members or of potential ones in the company.
