Online Supplier Description

Online Supplier.Com is an online company that focuses on creating commercial web store and providing products that will be drop-shipped to customers. This company offers a home based business opportunity but you have to become a paid member so you can purchase its products. You can sell these products on eBay which is the principal target market of Online Suppliers.com.

Online Suppliers.com offers a 14-day free membership trial for 1.95. From this amount you will get a free instructional manual on how to start your business with the company. After 14 days, your basic membership will automatically start which costs $49.95.
Online Supplier Detailed Overview

Online Suppliers.com promises to provide electronics and hot selling products. It has more than 5,200 products in its catalog so you will have greater selection of items to resell. However, their catalog is no different from other drop-shipping companies. It gets its products from Ingram Micro which is the largest wholesale distributor of consumer consumables and small items.

Part of the promise of Online Suppliers.com is that its products are cheaper than the retail prices in auction sites. The premise is you can buy the items at Online Suppliers.com and sell them with a mark up so you can profit from the resell.Online Suppliers.com also promises to provide e-commerce web shops. This is your dedicated web shop and you can customize it. The company also promises to provide support and training materials so you can effectively auction your products on eBay. Online Suppliers.com takes care of product storage, handling and shipping. It will directly ship the products to your customers.

The products of Online Suppliers.com are common consumer items that you can find in any web shop or local retail store. So you will face stiff competition from other traders and merchants in this kind of business. The products of Online Suppliers.com are also not cheaper as promised. Some items in its catalog are more expensive by as much as 50 percent if you compare them on similar items listed on Amazon.

The usability of the site is also problematic. Because of large number of product categories, you may find it difficult to browse its pages. Up-sells and forced promotions will also constantly pop up after you sign up with the site. Even if you declined the offer, the pop ups will continue to bother you.

Note:  If you're on IM Report Card because you're looking for a way to make money online, then you should check out our top recommendation.  It's the best method we've found that anyone can use to earn income online.  Click here to learn more!

Online Supplier Reputation

Online Suppliers.com doesn't have an excellent reputation. Well, you wouldn't call Online Suppliers a scammer but the services really are not up to par when compared to other dropshippers out there. This company is also not listed and not a member of the Better Business Bureau. But it got a D rating from the Los Angeles BBB for engaging in misleading promotions. It is also not a certified eBay merchant.

The company however has good customer support. You can speak with a real person when you call its hotline numbers. If you have questions, complaints or technical issues that you want to be addressed, the customer support service of Online Suppliers.com is always available to answer your support queries. If you are going to try the business opportunity model of Online Supplier.com, then you have to approach this company with caution.

Not Bad but too expensive

I recently got laid off of my job and have been looking for something to sell online when I was referred to Online supplier. I started with the trial and then decided this might be a good outlet for me to get started. While looking for a few products I noticed the prices were a little on the expensive side, but I figured I still might be able to sell them. This website has a big variety of products to choose from. Well to make a long story short, it's been about 3 weeks and I have not sold anything. I just canceled my subscription and now I'm looking for another outlet to try and get products. This is not a bad website, their prices are just a little high for me!

Decent Wholesale/Dropshipper... Never Really Wholesale

--The Good--

It's a legit “dropshipper”. You can avoid storage products in your basement and taking up space you don't have, and if you can get around ebay's current policy, you may be able to find a way to work this outdated system.

It may not be ebay certified, but I think it's a good thing because there aren't as many promoting their products (or it's a little cheaper) than dropshippers like Doba.

--The Bad--

I've tried many websites similar to this promising low wholesale prices and cheap shipping, but it just doesn't exist especially when your paying close to 30% over “normal sold auctions” for the same product you THINK your getting wholesale.

It's like a bad dream, but no matter how many of these “wholesale” or “dropship” websites you go to, it's all the same.

If it's being advertised, the money has to be made “somewhere”, and it's typically in the prices you pay for wholesale.

Not The Best, But It's Ok

For this method to work you need to put lots and lots of effort and sometimes you don't get what your effort is worth so be prepared if you're gonna try this method. It's more of a matter of luck than skills/time. You have to have a very good reputation as a seller on the website you're going to sell your things on. Right now I am not very pleased with this method, barely made $3 profit off it, but I'm gonna keep trying just to see how it goes on the long run.

This method may even make it unprofitable and you may lose some money. The subscription fee isn't the cheapest around and the earnings aren't the greatest around, so you do the math. Very hard method to earn, but you may want to try it if you like taking risks or are lucky. Can't recommend it to anyone though.

Not really very good for earning

My cousin and I joined Online Supplier in hopes of making money by selling products through Ebay since we have already built a good reputation and thought that we won't have much problems trying to sell things online. Boy were we wrong! The items that are available aren't really cheaper, so we had a hard time selling the stuff. We also had some issues and asked for some support, and we did get our questions answered but it didn't really quite solve the issue at hand. We only stayed as members for 2 months, and we didn't earn enough to even cover for the first month's membership fee. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, because even if you put in a lot of time and effort, it still wouldn't pay off since the items aren't easy to sell with the prices that are quite high.
