Yong S C.
An Unreliable Company
Paid $8,500 with 0 profit for a year. I enrolled in StarterX's Shopify Automation(July 27,2025) and Amazon Automation programs(Jan 23, 2026) after being presented with detailed sales representations describing a fully managed e-commerce business. The decision to purchase StarterX's services was based on representations that the company would professionally build, manage, optimize, and grow an online business on my behalf. During the sales process, StarterX represented that: • The business would be fully "done-for-you." • A dedicated project manager would manage the business. • Weekly reports would be provided. • An initial advertising ROI of 20–30% was guaranteed. • Sales would begin shortly thereafter. • Stores typically generate approximately $4,000–$5,000 in monthly profit within two to three months. • A one-time fee covered twelve months of complete management without hidden fees. These statements materially influenced my purchasing decision. However, looking at the current situation, • Lack of measurable business performance. • Limited operational transparency. • Failure to provide promised weekly reporting. • Failure to provide documentation supporting the represented ROI. • Limited visibility into operational decision-making. • Concerns regarding communications involving Amazon purchase history. StarterX did not provide the requested documentation. Subsequent communications requesting clarification also went unanswered. A significant additional concern relates to the inventory purchase arranged by StarterX. At StarterX's direction, I paid USD $3,305 for inventory that I was informed would be purchased and shipped to Amazon FBA fulfillment centers. Only after I formally requested a refund did StarterX state that the inventory had already been purchased and delivered to an Amazon fulfillment center. StarterX later claimed that the USD $3,305 inventory had been purchased and delivered to an Amazon FBA fulfillment center and stated that an invoice was attached. However, no invoice was actually attached. Despite repeated requests, I have not received the supplier invoice, Amazon shipment ID, FBA receiving confirmation, or proof of delivery. My Amazon Seller Central screenshots show the relevant products as FBM, Inventory 0, and Out of Stock, which is inconsistent with StarterX’s statement that the inventory is being held at an Amazon FBA fulfillment center. Whoever the consultant at this company is, proceed with caution.
