Getestore.com Is A Scam.

GETESTORE.COM IS A SCAM.

I know, I know, it was stupid of me. I was off in dreamland or la-la land, some place else, not reality when I signed up with them believing their line of garb that they would 100% stand behind their members and do everything possible to help me succeed.
From day one I had problems with them.
1.) I tried contacting them concerning the store set up - never heard from them.
2.) I tried contacting them because a page in their items selection wasn't working - never heard from them.
3.) I tried contacting them because I had some shipping questions - never heard from them.
4.) I tried contacting them because my web never worked, read in their FAQ's this could take 48 hours, this went on over a 2 week period or longer - never heard from them.
5.) I tried contacting them about a refund the 1st time - never heard from them.
I filed a complaint with paypal - unfortunately they was unable to help me because it wasn't a shipped good but they did send my complaint to them - still never heard anything from them.
I contacted the Better Business Bureau and I will regret not doing this first for a long, long time. At the time I did not know you could look up the URL to a website. Anyways they have a "F" with the BBB. I filed a complaint with them - still never heard anything but my website magically appeared.
The BBB had some email addresses and phone numbers and names that I did not have, so I contacted ALL of them and guess what - I FINALLY HEARD SOMETHING - but it wasn't what I was hoping for - apparently they did their part by supplying me with a store (and I am still trying to figure that one out seeing as how mine never showed up online untill after I contacted the BBB) and no refund.

Please check out any company you are thinking of signing up with here: http://www.bbb.org and remember you can check url and remember if it sounds to good to be true, it is.

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully this makes others do their due dilligence before giving money to anybody on the web.

Buying into those "All-in-Wonder" stories that already have products for you to sell is a waste of money and time. Think about it, everyone else will be selling the same stupid lawn ornaments at ridiculosly low prices to just "make that sale". Honestly, I've seen wannabe dropshippers selling things for maybe a 1% profit margin b/c that's the only way they ever sell anything.
They don't realize it's a waste of time until months down the road.

-Sell things online right, stock things yourself or dropship from a reliable supplier, however you should have a real business as well to do this.
