Grade Simplx ...

Simplx is a company that offers drop shipping services to business owners. This company makes it easy for Internet marketers that sell on eBay or have their own eCommerce sites. The company is home to many of the biggest suppliers such as Gap, Target, Sears, Sony, and focuses on consumer related products.
It’s no question that eCommerce is a proven business model. Amazon.com is one of the biggest success stories but now many niche eCommerce stores are emerging and are becoming very successful. Simplx aims to be a solution for the entrepreneur that wants to sell on eBay or create his own store.
The site grants you the ability to dropship more than 60 million products. The categories include movies, music, shoes, furniture, posters, sports equipment, clothing, accessories, electronics, toys, art, décor, books, and more. There are so many products in this to choose from and so many niche markets you can enter.
The interface allows you to browse through many brand names and categories. You can quickly go ahead and find everything you want to sell. You’re sure to go ahead and find many markets you can potentially profit from. One can quickly go to eBay and compare the products in Simplx and see if they can be sold for a profit.
While this sounds great, Simplx is not without some huge faults. The company will pay you a consulting fee if you want to learn how to use their system. This is a little off putting since you are the customer and they are trying to sell you on their services yet they want you to pay for information.
Another problem that this company has is that they are not dropshippers. You will not find liquidation and bulk discounts with them. They are simply middlemen that have partnerships with some of the biggest brands and companies. All they do is let you resell their products and get a percentage of the sale. It most resembles being an affiliate for the company.
Many people have said that the margins are much lower when compared to other dropshipping companies and directories. This means lower profits for eBay sellers and online store owners. If you’ve tried selling on eBay then you know it can be extremely competitive and the margins are very important to your success.
Another issue that many people are bringing up is the price of the membership. It costs $3500 to access their whole database. Simplx does offer a cheaper alternative, at as low as $599, but there are much less benefits of this membership and there is a monthly fee attached to it. When compared to directories, the cost of Simplx is extremely expensive.
In final, Simplx is a legitimate company but they can be misleading. This is not a dropshipping company and a real wholesale site. They are the middlemen and the margins are lower than other sites that offer real dropshipping services. The price to access their products is also very expensive and is not affordable to many marketers. Although their database is huge there are better and cheaper alternatives to Simplx that will marketers achieve the same results.

Business type undefined  Simplx describes itself as a drop shipping service. It offers millions of products that you can sell online and earn some extra money. I tried this out for some months hoping that I will be making lots of money out of what I will sell online. I did earn some money but after taking sometime to compute how much did I make than what it cost me, I just realized that it was not worth it. The membership fee is really expensive and they are even asking me to pay them to teach me how to use their program. I was really pissed off with this. I think that they should just call themselves middlemen. They help us connect to the suppliers and that means that they really are not doing drop shipping services. I did earn $160 from simplx but it's not enough for me to continue doing it since there are other opportunities there and that there are others offering same services for such a cheaper price. I do not recommend this but I should say that you can make money out of it, but it's not much. |

It's ok, as long as you're lucky enough I didn’t like Simplx too much. It’s a drop shipping service, but what it mostly does is to give you (the reseller) the connection with the company sellers. And they take a fee for that. It was pretty costly to use their services, which was pretty annoying, because then I had to make enough profits to cover the expenses. Fortunately, I have chosen the right products to resell. I made over $240 profit in the first month, and then around $190 in the next two months (each) on eBay. Although it was mostly luck and I prefer to make an income that doesn’t rely on luck. So I’d say this site is a gamble. You might make some money in the long run, but be careful when choosing what to resell.

Good for a drop shipping company  Drop shipping businesses online can either be a hit or miss in terms of having a successful business. Some may find that drop shipping allows them to make a great second income, while others feel that it is a totally useless online money making method. From my experience with Simplx, I can say that drop shipping can be used to make a decent amount of money if done right. I used Simplx when drop shipping seemed like a good method of earning a second income for myself. I soon found out that the drop shipping company, in this case Simplx, is only a fraction of what it takes to be successful. I went through a lot of work with advertising and other things that led to me losing a bit of money. I stopped using Simplx simply because I was not making enough profit. I made a bit of money each month, maybe around $200 on average. However, the price for maintaining my online business cost me more than I was making. So for me, drop shipping businesses became a thing of the past. However, I must say that Simplx was a pretty good service that was relatively easy to use. My major downfall using this service was not it's quality, but rather my ability to draw attention to the products I was selling. I rate this service a B because it was pretty good, but simply did not work out for me personally. |

I wasn’t able to earn a lot of money I heard a lot of good things about Simplx. I joined 5 months ago but I am not very pleased. This company offers drop shipping services. I like that I have a lot of products and good brands to choose from. One of the things I dislike is that they are not actually a drop shipping company. They are just the intermediary between me and the companies. I find it more affordable to sell products as an affiliate directly for the companies. They also ask a consulting fee to learn more about their services. I really don’t understand why they do this. Also I couldn’t find any bulk discounts. I wasn’t able to earn a lot of money because the competition is very big. |

Wonderful product but costly I have a review site which has affiliate marketing from many sites including my own products for selling. I was in look for a service provider like Simplx. I enrolled with them a few months back and found their service to be satisfactory. The rates are higher as compared to normal couriers in my area. Lately I came to know that they were middle men and therefore their rates increased. I did not get any discounts even for a membership and good relations with the company. I expect them to be a bit more customer oriented when they quote their prices. Their prices are compensated by the quality handling of my products. I have not received a single complaint from my customers regarding product handling or damages during transportation.
