Shoptiques is a total rip off for small businesses - please do not fall for this. New York NY

I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience, as selling with Shoptiques was the best decision I've ever made for my business.  I had my own online store previously, but wasn't seeing hardly any traffic.  I actually reached out to Shoptiques myself to see if THEY would consider ME! My $1000 was earned back within about 2 months.  It took me a little bit of time to figure out how to add the correct photography, but it's now a breeze.  It does take extra effort on your end to make sure things are shipped out in a timely manner and your inventory if up-to-date, but what kind of business expansion doesn't?  Since I've started selling with Shoptiques, I've sold product in nearly every state in the US and have even had international orders.  It has been well worth my time and buy-in, and its unfortunate that you did not experience that.  

 My name is Elizabeth and I own a boutique in Littleton CO. About a year ago I signed the agreement to partner with Shoptiques to get my online store going. I did my own website previously an only had 2 online orders in 7 month period so I was unsure if this would work. Once I figured out how to post the items and photos the sales did start coming in like the Shoptiques rep said they would. On average I did about 6-8 orders a week. Sometimes a lot more. They deal with all the returns, customer issues, and shipping which takes a huge load off my plate. It took me a little time to figure out a system to make Shoptiques work for my store, but now that is in place it's been a pleasant surprise with additional on online orders. I was worried about paying the $1000 but I did make my money back quickly. I have had to pay a fee for shipping the wrong item out on accident but it only happened once and it helps me hold my team accountable and helps us really stay on top of our inventory. I was a septic but once I put in the time and actually used the tools they provided me with it started to really pay off.

We love Shoptiques. Shoptiques is not only growing our online presence, it also allowing us to ship globally through DHL. We have expanded our team of suppliers and social media marketers which in essence is Shoptiques assisting us in creating jobs not just within the US but internationally as well. Anytime we have to order new merchandise from the markets in Africa or Asia, we empower men and women in Small Business globally. As a first generation American, this makes me feel so proud. We love being a part of Shoptiques and we are proud to be one of their boutiques. 

I highly recommend that other stores work with Shoptiques—they've helped us set up our website, assisted with our photography, run our email marketing, and have been a true and valued partner.  They have helped increase our sales and revenue and enabled our boutique to sell to customers worldwide!  It's a minimal investment with a maximum return. We earned back the initial investment in the first month.   What else could a business ask for?  Join the Shoptique family! 

As fars as being fined for not shipping out within the allowed timeframe...This is explained from the begining before you sign up.  So if you find you can fullfil the order in the alotted timframe then hire more help.  It's not hard to pack up your item and drop it off at the post office.  I have hundreds of styles listed on Shoptiques and get orders everyday all of which go out that same day or the next morning.  I personally handle every aspect of our shoptiques account and I don't have one bad thing to say about them.  In the year and 1/2 ive been working with shoptiques we have sales of over 40 times the initial investment.  We LOVE shoptiques.
