I was trying to get my eBay business off the ground, so I ran across a forum or two which said that eSources.co.uk and Wholesaledeals.co.uk were good companies to work with, that they had a good following, and that they treated the customers well, providing them with good customer service, so I decided to purchase a year long subscription for $134. According to the website, this subscription would not only give me access to all of the drop shippers that I needed, it would also give me wholesalers, access to my own website store, and a bunch of other lies (such as offering a 150% refund if I didn't make at least $10,000 within my first year.) The drop shippers were supposed to have drop shipped to the United States; however, after I got into their site, I clicked on the drop shipper link only to find that most of the drop shippers were in the UK and only shipped to the UK. I clicked on others to find that their links were broken, or were not working, and still others that according to eSources were part of the drop shipping program, but as you scrolled down the page, their were things like, we only ship if you buy this many, or we no longer participate in the drop shipping program. If they don't participate in the drop shipping program, then why are they placed under the drop shipper's link? Anyway, this site was very cumbersome. You have to go into and out of a company's page, and view their websites to see what they have to offer, and to see if they actually do drop ship, since some of them said they did, but actually didn't. Eventually I got a popup while I was exploring the site that said something to the effect of, "We noticed that you are interested in drop shipping. We deal mainly with wholesales; however, our sister company, "Wholesaledeals.co.uk" deals more with drop shipping, but it's another $40 to join. Since I was more interested in drop shipping, I joined. What a mistake! It was virtually the same thing as eSources! They say it's a drop shipping company, but right on the front page, it shows you how much you can make "if" you buy the items in bulk. The drop shipping? Yeah, that means you buying the products from them in bulk, supposedly wholeale, "I'll get to that in a minute," and then they ship the entire amount to you, in which you redistribute and hold the products at your own location. This is not drop shipping! This is wholesale. Now, what I meant by "supposedly wholesale" from above was that you aren't purchasing directly from the manufacturer, you are purchasing from just another store who "claims" to offer you wholesale prices. They might be maybe a few dollars off, but by the time you pay shipping charges to have these items shipped to you, you are paying over retail. How are you supposed to make a profit from that?

Hi Pedro,
The truth is that you have nothing to do with Esources.co.uk. You paid £20 to https://www.wholesaledeals.co.uk/subscribe.php for access to the Suppliers Database. You then demanded access to the Deals Database for free, and then proceeded to post fake comments like claiming links are broken (you are welcome to provide public proof of your claims, especially since all the links you have accessed are tracked and we have checked them, none of them are broken as you have claimed...).
You have labelled WholesaleDeals.co.uk a scam because they have fees to a very high quality service. If you want quality, you should pay for quality rather than blackmail services that are dedicated to helping customers. There is plenty of poor lists out there, they will ask you for little money and they will provide you with little in return.
If you want quality sources, both WholesaleDeals.co.uk and Esources.co.uk have been around for over 10 years and have literally hundreds of thousands of members. If you need help, you will receive the help that you require, IF you are willing to behave ethically on your way to building a profitable long term and scalable business.
In addition, WholesaleDeals.co.uk and Esources.co.uk offer the web’s largest databases of verified sources, plus unlimited custom sourcing reports, meaning that you are guaranteed to find the suppliers you need. They are services that have been designed to guarantee your success, provided you pay the fee and provided you are humble enough to follow the advice from over 10 years of experience helping resellers succeed.

I have exactly the same complaints: obsolete list of "wholesalers" with many non working links, others asks for dropshipping fee. I asked for a refund 1 day after purchase of the suppliers list and they refused. Instead, they wanted me to purchase an extra pack of 25£ to scam me more money!
Their client support is bad, they take ages to answer (when they answer, because most of the time they ignore you)
Don't believe in forums like "thedropshipforum.co.uk" or "thewholesaleforum" because they are part of the company that is scamming everyone. If you try to criticize them on these forums they dont aprove your posts so there is non negative posts in their websites.
Verdict: SCAM! Avoid them at all costs! I've lost 20£, don't lose your money too
PS. I am not a dropshipper, wholesaler or concurrent of wholesaledeals.co.uk, I'm just a disapointed and scammed customer

“it would also give me wholesalers, access to my own website store, and a bunch of other lies (such as offering a 150% refund if I didn't make at least $10,000 within my first year.)”
eSources offers the web’s largest collection of verified UK and US wholesalers. You also get unlimited free stores and you are covered by our guarantee as stated.
“The drop shippers were supposed to have drop shipped to the United States; however, after I got into their site, I clicked on the drop shipper link only to find that most of the drop shippers were in the UK and only shipped to the UK.”
Not true, just an example: esources.co.uk/international-suppliers/1082/United-States/
“"Wholesaledeals.co.uk" deals more with drop shipping, but it's another $40 to join. Since I was more interested in drop shipping, I joined. What a mistake! It was virtually the same thing as eSources! They say it's a drop shipping company, but right on the front page, it shows you how much you can make "if" you buy the items in bulk. The drop shipping? Yeah, that means you buying the products from them in bulk, supposedly wholeale”
Another fake statement. Dropship products on wholesaledeals.co.uk are marked as available for dropshipping in each deal page, for example:
Dropshipping available: wholesaledeals.co.uk/deal/wholesale-Christmas_Collection_Deluxe_Fur_Santa_Hat-3263.html
vs
Wholesale only: wholesaledeals.co.uk/deal/wholesale-Ball_N_Post_Up_Mid_Black_White_Basketball_Men_s_Trainers-82659.html
This report smells fishy : ) Who would want to distance customers from eSources and Wholesale Deals we wonder ; )
