Global Sources

I lost a good amount of money to a scammer (MyCanna Inc) trying to order skincare products and it is how people claim that Global Source is 100% hand in hand with these scammers. Let alone expecting any refund but they won't even remove the account after your complaint and proof.

What´s the point to have a website where all suppliers are fraud...?

I request a quotation in some Chemical product and all these people just ask for "sample" fee... Not less than $200 USD for a sample that they don't even know where to be send...
You must be very naive to send money to any of these low level people...

Anyways, I'm sure this is the way they make their living...

I would not recommend this place at all. When u use them to send inquiries for a product, it doesn't just go to that vendor. They hv it set up to where other places see it also. So when u get ripped off they dont hv to cover it bcuz they will tell u everytime that the vendor is not apart of their network. I'm telling u rite now none of them r apart of their network. Its all a scam. Also what u see as a product minimum is also a lie. Bcuz every vendor want u to buy a whole shipping container when the post says one box etc. Customer service won't help u at all. Its all about tricking u out of ur money. I checked one star only bcuz it made me.

I already suspected they were a scam, but then they told me that I would only have to pay shipping and customs in advance then pay the remainder when the item was delivered. But the same day I get a message that my item is held up in Romania and now I have to pay almost the full price in order to get the item released! Just a few hours after making the deal with me,, I asked them to refund my 7000 rupees I had given as down-payment and they refused. Very bad business. Do not use this company.

I ordered this simple product only to realize it's not going to ship to never this $#*!ing sits outright $#*!ing scammed yeah first I payed for the pills but I had to pay extra for the $#*!ing Insurance and I haven't anything back from the shippers so I don't really recommend buying anything from this site

A few months ago, I purchased graphics cards from a seller on Global Sources. Unfortunately, I became a victim of a scam and lost $570. The seller's company was hacked due to their poor security measures, and the scammer was able to infiltrate their website and sell GPUs to unsuspecting customers on Global Sources.

I immediately reached out to Global Sources and requested their assistance in resolving the issue. Initially, I was disappointed by their response as they only shut down the seller's account without providing any further support. I felt that they could have done more to ensure that I received compensation from the seller before taking action.

Update:

I want to update my review as Global Sources eventually solved the issue. I received my lost funds and am grateful for their efforts in resolving the matter.

Although I was disappointed by the initial response, I must acknowledge that Global Sources provided the necessary support to resolve the issue. I would recommend the platform to others, but would also advise caution when dealing with sellers.

Orders test kits for our company, it never reached, they gave us a fake waybill number and ate our money, kindly refrain from using this website

Having recently participated in a trade show organized by Global Sources, I can confidently say that it is the ultimate B2B platform in the market. The event provided an incredible opportunity for me to connect with prominent buyers in the industry. What sets Global Sources apart from its competitors, including Alibaba, is the caliber of buyers it attracts. I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of larger buyers who showed genuine interest in my products. The platform's user-friendly interface and extensive network of buyers made it effortless for me to establish valuable connections. Without a doubt, Global Sources has proven to be an indispensable resource for businesses seeking impactful B2B interactions and access to bigger buyers.

A bunch of scammers who will steal your money and you'll never see any products! Don't be fooled by any good reviews, they're all scam reviews! Look at the bad reviews and you'll know for sure this is a SCAM company. I've reported them to the Canadian authorities!

I recently had an outstanding experience with Global Sources, and I can confidently say that it is the best B2B platform available. Unlike other platforms like Alibaba, Global Sources attracts a higher caliber of buyers, which significantly benefited my business. During a trade show organized by Global Sources, I had the opportunity to connect with a big buyer who showed genuine interest in my products. What impressed me even more was the seamless transition from online to offline through their O2O (online to offline) service. This allowed me to easily convert the initial online contact into a successful offline order. Global Sources' dedication to facilitating efficient and fruitful business interactions has truly set them apart. I highly recommend Global Sources to any business looking for a reliable B2B platform that connects them with bigger buyers and offers excellent O2O services.

Global sources is totally fraudulent company publishing lies about fraudulent companies as legitimate.
I have lost thousands of Dollars trusting Global sources review of vendors/suppliers.
DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE if you do not waist time and lose money. It is nightmare dealing with suppliers and vendors on Global Sources

They have no policy in place to protect customers. I still how scammers get verified accounts. Suppliers will contact you with intentions to defraud but the platform does nothing about if.

This is a very bad company to buy anything. One of the sellers scammed me and did not send the product, I wrote to the support service but they did nothing. Until now, this seller sells goods.

Chaoyang Hongsheng Machine-Building Co., Ltd The seller took the money and does not want to send the goods

Careful checking who you are talking to. Scammers are around here. They offer products which they dont really have then keep asking you for custom charges.

I paid invoice and did not received anything.
From Company: Jiangsu Kaihuida New Material Technology Co, Ltd
This total Scam. They using accounts of Paypal in Nigeria.

Many terrible Chinese companies are selling over Global Source platform like: Shenzhen TechGroup LIMITED, Shenzhen Muweite Technology Co.,Ltd, YICHUN XINRUI ELECTRIC VEHICLE LTD, Dongguan Bufengzhe Electric Bike Factory and so on.
The problems are:
1. Low quality
2. Guarantee without real guarantee.
3. For the replacement parts during the guarantee period you have to pay shipping and sometimes the parts also.
4. Goods are very often not according to the specifications.
5. Many times no answer to your questions especially if something goes wrong.

The bottom line is that customers always buy a cat in a bag.
Recommendations: DO NOT BUY DIRECTLY FROM THE CHINESE COMPANIES, SUPPLIERS OR PLATFORMS!
MAXIMUM IS TO BUY SOMETHING UNDER EBAY OR SIMILAR BUYER PROTECTIONS!

On September 2021,while surfing on Global Sources I came across an EV Car from a verified Company that is Yuanghzou Semotors electric Vehicles Co.ltd,i send an inquiry for the price,specifications etc...
Then after some days I received an email from Steven Wang Yuanghzou Semotors electric Vehicles CO.LTD telling me to do business with him and on his signature its I quote
STEVEN
YANGZHOU SEMOTOR ELECTRIC VEHCILES CO.,LTD
ADD: NO.16. BAFANGHUI ROAD, YANGZHOU CITY.CHINA
So i was convinced it's a verified company so i bought the EV Car worth USD ******* since October 2021 and till now Jan 2023 i never received the EV Car.
When contacting Global Sources they are telling me that it's out of their platform.BUT THE COMPANY IS A VERIFIED COMPANY ON GL9BAL SOURCES I SAW THE CAR ON THEIR PLATFORM.
It's clear that Global Sources is support these supplier to scamm people around the Globe.

Being a completely newbie to the world of Amazon wholesale FBA, I have been hunting for profitable products to buy in bulk and resell. So I narrowed down to selling energy drinks and thru my research of suppliers I cam across several ones listed on globalresources.com (at great price) so I sent out a lot of inquiries. Got back several responses and decided to work with this supplier named TFC Trading LTD and went thru their elaborate scamming process like a guinea pig... Lost $8K in this stupid process...

They started out responding pretty fast to me and answering all of my logistical questions really well about to buy products in their country (Turkey) and ship back to US. They showed business license like a VAT ID # which I did check with the European Union Commission website and their business name of TFC Trading LTD popped up. That made me believe that they are legit supplier.

The term was to pay them 50% first for payment of the 10 pallets of Monster energy drink (which costs total $2.3K USD with them). So I paid and gave them SKU labels, box labels from my Amazon seller account. Then they had their "shipping company" contacted me to provide tracking number/waybill for my product. I went onto the shipping company website called Fastloadcargo.com and punch in the tracking number to double check and my shipment data popped up. At this point, I pretty much believe everything was real so I proceeded with sending them the other half of the $2.3K product cost.

Feeling good and excited that I am about to sell my first product on Amazon soon. I woke up the next day to their email urgently informing me that my package has been stuck at custom due to missing paperwork and insurance, etc. They required $5.5K insurance money to be wired over (98% refundable) to help get my package to clear Turkish custom... I panic and actually wired the money over like a dumbass (as I was desperate to see my Amazon FBA journey take off). Next day, they messaged me again and asked for another $7.8K as additional paperwork is needed to clear custom still... At this point, I was certain I am getting scammed and reported to my bank fraud specialist team and get help with retrieving the money but probably hopeless to be honest.

I tried to contact another supplier on globalsources.com to see if it was just really my bad luck or there are actually lots of scammers on that site and indeed, another Chinese supplier that I found responded to me and asked for my email. Then some completely other company contacted me via email with company name not matching the name of the Chinese supplier that I found. This Chinese supplier is supposedly a "Verified" seller on globalsources.com for 2 years... How could this be possible that the site is giving "Verified" badge to scammer?

Unbelievable. Bunch of scammers on there so DO NOT use this site at all and somebody need to shut globalsources.com down as they are assisting scammers to create more victims like myself everyday...

Dear China suppliers please do better as business people you ripping the people off here in America and other countries the benefit your pockets. How would you like if Americans scam you out of your hard-earned money. As business people we're just trying to make money and if you're honest with us you will be rich because we will keep you blessed financially as we become blessed financially so please my beautiful Chinese people do better don't rip people off God is watching that and he's not happy
