SMC ripoff Specialty Merchandise Corp CHATSWORTH California
DEAR PEOPLE OF THE SMC WORLD I JUST GOT SOME THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE WHOLE THING.
1 I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER FOR 5 YRS NOW AND IT IS BEEN KINDA GOOD AND KINDA BAD!
2 I STARTED WHEN I PULLED MY BACK AND IT PULLED MT OUT OF MY JOB FOR LIFE. I WORKED IN THE WAREHOUSEINGFIELD FOR ALL OF MY LIFE.
3 SO I SEEN THE LATE NIGHT INFOMERCIAL AND I JUMPED ON BOARD. GOT TO ADMIT THE OTHER THINGS. INVOLED WITH THE COMPANY CAN JUST GO DOWN THE SHITTER.
4 SO WHAT I DID IS STARTED FROM THE START WITH MY OWN COMPANY. GROUND FLOOR. DID MY HOMEWORK -MADE MY OWN PRICE LIST, CATALOGS AND DID THE FLEA-MARKET THING FOR 2 YRS DID VERY WELL KNOWING WHAT SELLS AND WHAT NOT SELLS.
5 AFTER 5 YRS DOWN THE LINE I GOT TO UNDOUBTEDLY ADMIT THAT WHEN I MOVE FROM ORDERING FROM THEM,AND HAVING THEM DOING THE BULLSHIT WORK. I AM MOVING INTO MY OWN WAREHOUSE ABOUT 500,000 SQ.FT AND KNOWING THAT THIS SEPT. I WILL HAVE ADDED 2 MORE DISTRIBITORS TO MY NETWORK OF BUYERS THAT I BUY FROM.
6 AND NOW I DO ALL THE SHIPPING AND HANDLING OF THE PRODUCTS AND I AM ALSO ABLE TO HOLD MY OWN INVENTORY OF STUFF. AND I ALSO FOUND OUT WHERE THEY GET THEIR STUFF FROM IN CHINA. WITH THE HELP OF MY FRIENDS. I CAN BYPASS SMC ALTOGETHER NOW.
YES THERE WEBSITES ARE USELESS AND COST YOU A ARM AND A LEG. AND TO GET THEM TO WORK RIGHT YOU GOT TO GIVE UP YOUR FIRST BORN TO THEM. SO MY ADVISE TO YOU ALL DO NOT USE THE SITES AT ALL?
SO WHAT IM TRING TO SAY IS YES YOU GOT TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK , COME UP WITH YOUR OWN WAYS TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU. THEY GUIDE YOU IN THE WAY TO MAKE MONEY, YOU JUST GOT TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN.
AND YES THE COACHES ARE JUST WORTHLESS MY COACH BACK STABED MY AND ALMOST FLAT OUT SCREWED MY OUT OF MY COMPANY NAME? HE TRIED TO GET DOMAINED BEFORE ME.BUT I DID THAT BEFORE I CONTACTED THEM . SO NOW HE DOES NOT WORK FOR THE COMPANY NOW.

I am a small business owner in southern Virginia and have been with SMC since August. Guess what, I haven't sold one single item. Why? Because I wanted a website. The company promises all this for X amount of dollars when you hear of them, on their website or TV...etc.; however, when I talked to the coach he wanted $2,000.00+ to get me started with 3,000 product website and credit card acceptance.
Not going to work. Notice I said a SMALL business owner. I don't have that kinda money just for set-up fees.
So, as a business individual....may I have the supplier's info in China mentioned in this report. My warehouse is becoming bare, and so is my bank account, thanks to these lying theives.

I totally agree with you. My cousin started with SMC about 5 years ago and hired me on 3 years ago. She is the owner and operator of Tie's Gifts and More.
We have been doing great ever since she open her own store and I set her up with a few new distributors.
It is good to see some good comments about SMC on this site, and I hope to see more in the future when people wake up and realize that SMC will not do everything for you, they just help you start your business.
