I was not aware of
Salehoo, until a friend of mine joined with them and told me about some of the brilliant suppliers she found, especially far eastern sources of exceptional quality and latest brand names in the market.
I went to the sales letter and was really blown away. The founder of
Salehoo, Simon Slade promises so many things and honestly, there are so many so called "wholesale directories" online that are an absolute waste of time and money. All wholesale directories I came across in the past never lived up to their initial "hype" & hellip; and I'm sure you would agree if you've been doing your own research for longer than 10 minutes. You only need to search Google for "wholesale directory" and you'll be returned with tons of wholesale ebooks and directories; some of them even free. All of them state that they are the best, whilst many of them have not been updated for years and are full of dead links or companies that no longer exist. (I am not kidding!)
One of the "claims" that Simon makes about his product, I quote: "If you don't like SaleHoo for ANY reason, you can return it for an immediate 100% refund of your purchase price. And remember, this is a 60 day guarantee. You're free to return it next week, or up to 60 days from now".
I think he can afford to make such a promise due to
what he believes to be a genuine, quality wholesale
and dropshipping directory.
So, the challenge was to see if
Salehoo was full of hot air or solid substance worth the purchase. I went along and signed up with them. I was quite pleased with the small membership fee of
$67, one-off, lifetime membership with no recurring charges whatsoever. When I joined Salehoo, the company had already established an international presence, offering Live Support chat centers in Auckland, Sydney, Beijing, Cape Town, Paris, London, New York, Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles. That international presence has increased and there have been a great many improvements in the Members Area.
We all know that Chinese products are available at cheap prices. But what we don't know is how to do business with them and how to handle money transactions etc.
Salehoo steps in with a guarantee that will identify two cheap sources from China who sell at rock bottom price just because they want to do business with the Western world. The Chinese suppliers listed in their 'secret source' offer secure methods of payment thus putting to rest any worries you may have about financial transactions.
The concept of
Salehoo is based on a solid business principle. It is no great rocket science but just shrewd business sense. The cheaper you are able to source your product the greater profit you'll be able to make. Testimonials on the webpage vouch for the fact that these products are a real steal at that price. Since joining Salehoo, I can safely say they are worth
recognition and acknowledgement upon my honest reviews and are a safe bet to sourcing very profitable items.

The
worthwhile deal with a one-off $67 for the quality of service and supplier sources. There are no monthly membership charges or any hidden costs. Some suppliers sell rock-bottom priced merchandise, but only a handful of people are aware. Excellent value

Directory
Volume |
9 |
Currently comprise a comprehensive list of over 1000+ wholesalers, dropshippers and liquidators and growing fast. Also, a wide variety of product range, although I've noticed the presence of some middle-men for the more popular electronics merchandise. Nonetheless, tried-and-tested by Salehoo and confirmed to be legitimate suppliers. There are other suppliers of less common goods that do sell at bargain wholesale prices

Resources |
9 |
Exclusive access to some of the leading far-eastern Chinese suppliers. These guys offer authentic hot consumer in-demand brands and you can't go wrong with them. Some products are relatively cheap, but others could be a little more competitive like I've noticed with WorldWide Brands. As a member you get free live online chat, email and phone support. Members get full access to a private forum. Also available are some free useful eBooks, SEO resources and softwares such as AuctionSieve and eBayCheck. |
Layout |
8 |
Fairly well organized and easy to explore. Loads of pictures in advertised products section which can take a while to load. Nevertheless, easy to navigate.
|
Updates |
10 |
Very frequent updates to the Salehoo list of products and suppliers. They really give you your money's worth here as they genuinely update, add, assess and evaluate their suppliers. Expect updates on daily and weekly basis. Keep on the look-out on the main pages for new suppliers with cheaper prices.

Before joining, you'd think there's no way to contact Salehoo, but you're wrong. After joining you'll notice Salehoo customer service information is easy to find and they are in fact very helpful and responsive. I have tested their live chat at a peak period of the day and works well. I only waited less than a minute before a representative was available for one-on-one interaction.

User-Friendliness |

Search function displays some irrelevant suppliers at times, but locating products/suppliers by category seems to work better.
|
Accessibility |
8 |
Salehoo are more of a conventional directory as opposed to an online eCommerce marketplace where you can directly communicate with suppliers and purchase products on their website. Instead, they'll give you all supplier details and thorough information about them, and then it's upto you to take it from there
|
Overview |
8.9 |
A cheaper alternative to WorldWide Brands, but offers very good service as they do assess their suppliers to maintain trust and safety requirements. However, the system is not quite as well structured as
TrueDropshippers and there are some middle-men. On the bright side, Salehoo will save you hours of endless manual searching through search engines which is very risky as they genuinely review and monitor their suppliers prior to being enlisted. Salehoo charge a very modest price compared to other rivals and is a worth while directory that offers full money-back guarantee to back it up. Nothing much to lose, everything to gain!
