"This site promotes numerous scam companies, and of course denies any responsibility for doing so. I lost $3500 from a company they referred as legitimate."
"I am writing this review as a cautionary tale for fellow businesses who may be considering Wholesale Central for their wholesale needs. Our company has had an unfortunate and deeply troubling experience that we feel compelled to share.
We engaged with Wholesale Central for transactions with PalletFly.com LLC, and it has been nothing short of a nightmare. Our dealings with PalletFly.com LLC have been marked by non-delivery of services, constant fraudulent excuses, and an utter failure to refund our payments despite assurances.
What is even more alarming is our growing suspicion that Wholesale Central may be inadvertently facilitating these fraudulent activities. Our attempts to resolve the matter amicably have been met with silence, and the situation remains unresolved after three months.
This review serves as a final warning to others in the business community. We have initiated the process of escalating this matter to law enforcement agencies due to the severity of the alleged fraudulent activities. We believe that the reputation of Wholesale Central is at stake, and businesses need to be aware of the potential risks associated with their platform.
Furthermore, we want to highlight that the associated case fees, legal costs, and any other court-related expenses arising from the investigation are, in our opinion, the responsibility of Wholesale Central and PalletFly.com LLC.
Our hope is that this review prompts Wholesale Central to take immediate action, both in investigating these allegations and in rectifying the situation for affected businesses. We urge caution to anyone considering Wholesale Central and strongly advise thorough due diligence before engaging in any transactions.
In conclusion, our experience has been nothing short of a cautionary tale, and we feel it is our duty to share it with the wider business community. We sincerely hope that others can learn from our unfortunate situation."
"wholesalecentral dot com advertises as a directory site for whole-sellers. I would suggest to completely stay away from this fraudsters. It seems they have a lot of complaints. We paid a yearly for a post on their site and our account was deactivated two days later and they claimed we did not comply with their terms of service. They called us and were not able to reach us over the phone according to them and deactivated our account and kept the entire money. We provided them a working phone number as well as email address. Their employees were extremely rude over the phone when we called to resolve the matter.
Their CEO called and was cursing and using not so proper words over the phone. He seemed very vulgar, and unprofessional. After calling them and confronting them about the issue of illigally keeping our money we received a phone call and it was one of their employees who called and hung up. When we called back the same person answered the phone with a laugh stating he was testing the phone number to see if it is working.
Please be careful with this company. Based on past reviews it seems they have done this similar type of scam to other people.
Advertise your business on other platforms for free and do not pay this crooked people.
Their legal entity name is Sumner Communcations Inc.
Stay far away from this crooks

""Wholesale Central USA" is a different company than "WholesaleCentral.com". WholesaleCentral.com is a reputable directory of wholesale suppliers. "
"This is a great way to lose your money! Stay Away!"
"I got scammed too. Is there any way for us to get the money back? He said he went on bankcrupcy and was not able to pay me back. If anyone has more info on this fool, please post them on. I made a claim with my credit card company few days ago and hopefully they will retract the money. "
"It sounds like a lot of people have been scammed by this guy (like me). I contacted the BBB on this and they have all of his contact info. Isn't there any way this guy can be sued? I'm hoping my credit card company can help me out on this one."
"Fraud...That describes it. If you are owed money from this company any have proof please leave a comment and see if we can all get a class action lawsuit against this company."
"Same story as the others..........ordered and paid for merchandise, was told the item was no longer available. 3 months later, no refund, a closed website, and claims of bankrupcy. Here is the owner's name and info. He works (if you can call it that) out of his house, and is not happy that he has been tracked down. You can still email him at ****@****, but I wouldn't expect much at this point.

"Ordered an XBOX360 in July, same deal as the other people listed on this website. I am taking legal action on Monday to recover my money. Lots of supplier excuses, no product, and it's now 4 months later for 1 XBOX360 system."
"This online store is a complete SCAM!!!! I placed order in July, never received my order, and requested for my refund since October, and the seller promised for a refund in 2 weeks, and then pushed for another 2 weeks, and now, it's almost 7 weeks, and I never get my refund back. Filing a dispute through the credit card is the only way now.
I noticed the excuses the seller gives to everyone is the same--back order, supplier problems, no matter what you buy--xbox, iPod, PSP, etc... Apparently it is a scam, no doubt.
This is the worst experience I have for shopping online!!!!!!!!!!! "
"I was lured in by the fact that they drop ship and that their prices were low (and even lower if you spend $69 for a "lifetime membership", getting an additional 20% off)
I decided to sign up with them and sold 22 ipods on ebay immediately, spending over $5600. I was aware that shipping would take up to three weeks and I reflected that in my auctions descriptions. They then changed it to where delivery would take up to six weeks. I was aware of that and again stated that in the auctions descriptions. Then, they decided to get sneaky and take off the delivery time all together until you've already entered your credit card info to purchase the ipod and submitted it - They've got your money now!
Ive only had excuse after excuse with this company as to when they will ship out. A month later, with MANY upset buyers (and I dont blame them), they said that they would all be shipped September 22nd. Well the 22nd came and went and I was notified that they had only just received a shipment of 250 ipods and will then be shipped out the following week. That week came and went and I was then told that they are behind and trying to fulful 1100 orders that were on back order and that they havent even gotten to the ipods yet.
I was already seriously peeved with these guys, but that just made me LIVID! I did some research and found his home address, which is the same address as the company's, meaning he works out of his house, along with his home phone number, not just the number for the voicemail he has on his site. His name is GLEN DOUGLAS.
I asked about getting a refund and he replied saying that it would take, on average, 2-3 weeks to get refunded because he has to get his money back from his supplier - which means, it could possibly take a lot longer than 3 weeks to finally get refunded! I had more than enough evidence to put him out of business and I told him that. After receiving that email, he (very quickly) replied and said that he will issue me a company check and have it in the mail that day... also making a point to say that the check is good and that refunding through my credit card would raise all kinds of red flags and would be held. Who knows if he was right about that. He may have just been trying to hide something. In any case, I received the check the following day, with delivery confirmation and deposited it right away. It turns out to actually be a "good check".
So, after over six weeks of waiting and hearing nothing but excuses, Im finally able to refund my customers and losing every bit of profit I made and even having to come out of pocket to cover the remaining.
This guy obviously didnt want to lose money by not stating that the ipods were out of stock. That just shows GREED, if you ask me!"
"Dealing with this company was a nightmare.
The item showed stock when ordered and they charged my credit card then told me it would not be shipped for 2-3 weeks. I canceled the order and it has taken me over 30 days to get my refund. First they wanted to send a refund check which never happened. I had to threaten a charge back on my credit to get a response from them and finally was able to get a PayPal refund out of them. I taked to my credit card company and was told that they are aware of this company and that they are being investigated for floating credit card payments.
LOOK OUT for this company!! Dont let the low price lure you in"
