123 Deals: A dubious wholesaler
123 Deals purports to be an online wholesale dealer of overstock and branded goods and discounts. The wholesale provider is geared toward online merchants as well as individual retailers and people of the e-commerce seller business, or any resellers. Household items, pet supplies, consumable goods, baby products, hygiene, cleaning products, toys, OTC items, medical goods, tools and a ‘Deal of the day’ are some of their offered categories.
About 123 Deals and their assertions:
The claims by 123 Deals state that the company has been in business since 2015 and offers the following:
* Wholesale pricing on all products sold.
* Excel or CSV format inventory listing is e-mailed to you upon request.
* Shipping to your warehouse or fulfilling for Amazon FBA sellers. Prep for Amazon FBA sellers such as FNSKU labeling is offered at 30 cents per unit.
* There are several US-based warehouses in New Jersey, Florida, California and Illinois.
* Shipping fees are solely at the responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise indicated.
* There is a US e-mail, phone number, as well as a physical address (Lakewood, New Jersey), all of which were confirmed, although this doesn’t ensure that the site is not a scam.
Online appearance and signs of trust:
123 Deals received a medium trust score of around 65% from Scam Detector. It is recommended that you don’t entirely trust the site as precautions should be taken because of its relatively short domain age (registered in 2023), as well as its online appearance and general caution required when shopping on online sites.
Despite its claims, the independent online presence of 123 Deals on sites like Trustpilot or the BBB is almost zero. Customer reviews are scarce, so it’s difficult to verify the buyer’s experiences with 123 Deals.
Customer reviews and signals from communities:
There were no verified customer reviews available for 123 Deals. General warnings from wholesale online forums regarding “too good to be true” deals have urged customers to avoid those deals with prices that are seemingly not real, have vague inventory lists and sparse external reviews since they more than likely indicate either a scammer or an inefficiently run company. Considering that 123 Deals claims to be an Amazon FBA prep and fulfillment center, we strongly advise caution from our customers.
Our Conclusion:
At the end of the day, 123 Deals does sell several wholesale items and states that they can fulfill wholesale and Amazon FBA orders as well as prep and fulfill the orders.
However, since we cannot verify their authenticity, with the middle trust rating it is recommended to steer clear of this provider. Be extremely cautious, do plenty of research, make a small test order if possible, and acquire a written confirmation of the refund/return policy before making any wholesale orders with 123 Deals.
About Suppliers Central:
Suppliers Central is a global B2B network that assists buyers with finding and verifying legitimate suppliers before making any wholesale transactions. In terms of wholesalers, 123 Deals isn’t as widely acknowledged as common wholesalers and wholesale suppliers on the approved Amazon wholesale supplier lists.
Overall Judgment:
123 Deals has a variety of wholesale products available and will fulfill wholesale and Amazon FBA orders. Based on the medium trust rating, we cannot verify their authenticity and urge buyers to be extremely careful. Before buying any products from 123 Deals for wholesale, make sure to research the supplier fully.
