I signed up to brandsdistribution 6 months ago and I have years experience with building ecommerce businesses. I did find their brands interesting, after reading mixed reviews "mostly negatives" I decided to take the chance anyway. After the first 2 weeks, I noticed why Brandsdistribution recieved so many 1 star reviews.
They NEVER answer any emails and you can't call them for support. I started selling their inventory but 80% of all orders had some kind of issue. Wrong size shipped, or defected items received, etc, and they refuse to help you with it.
Another thing I noticed after I received 20+ emails about my prices being to high compared to other website. I did some research and found out that brandsdistribution is selling directly to end-consumer at the wholesale price I purchase for. I took the time to read their terms and conditions and guess what I found. Quote from their website:
"The User is not bound by any non-competition deal and, therefore, may directly or indirectly sell products that compete with IDT. The User does not possess any exclusive rights to the IDT product. It is understood that IDT Brandsdistribution is free to trade with the end customer, both online and offline, and directly or through agents, other collaborators, or intermediaries."
Meaning that they have the rights to undercut their dropshippers and sell directly to the end customer. My best guess is that they gather all the information from what their dropshippers are doing and targeting directly to end customers.
It's a shame that I wasted 6 months with them! There are many other suppliers that offer dropship service and alot more honest than brandsdistribution! Always do research before and follow your gut.
