Originally, I thought SaleHoo.com was a site very similar to Liquidation.com where you could buy products directly on their site. However, my original review was based mostly on their sales pitch. I apologize for this, and hope to clear some things up with this post. (Here’s the first review of SaleHoo.com)
Q. Can you buy anything directly from the SaleHoo website?
A. No. They are basically a directory of wholesale suppliers. You search for a product and a list of suppliers that carries that product is displayed. If you click one of those listings, you’re taking to a “company detail” page that lists the supplier’s name and business information. They also have member reviews listed on this page.
Q. Are the member reviews useful?
A. Not so much. There are a few good reviews scattered around, but for the most part, each supplier has 1 comment stating that the company does what they say they do. I’m assuming these are either SaleHoo employees or the suppliers themselves.
Q. Is the member forum useful?
A. Yes. Very. This may be one of the best reasons for signing up for SaleHoo. They have topics covering everything from how to get started, to commenting on bad experiences. The forum has over 50,000 members and 30,000 articles.
They also have a Learning and Training Center with articles about setting up your business, watching out for scams, selling on Ebay, and how to import products internationally.
Overall, I’m a little less impressed with SaleHoo than I was when I wrote the last review. However, for the relatively small fee, you do get a good list of wholesale sources, and access to a member forum that’s actually useful.
