Research before buying into this program.

They'll give a 30-day money-back guarantee only when you have completed their extremely long video tutorials and sold an item on Amazon. Their only approach to selling on Amazon is through wholesale. However, most brand-name wholesalers don't deal with new Amazon sellers like us. Secondly, it takes time to obtain a state's reseller permit to buy merchandise from a reputable wholesaler. The initial payment package does not provide you with any software to do research, which you would need if you're serious about selling on Amazon. Then they upsell their products once you've enrolled in their program, and they are quite pricy. Once you've paid nearly two thousand dollars, say "bye, bye" to your money, because it is like asking your year-old to reach the top kitchen cabinet shelve for your dishes. Everyone in ALGO are Americans, and they only know the American marketplace (which is 10 times more active and larger than the Canadian counterpart; therefore, there is a steep learning curve). If you're new to selling on Amazon, look into selling either by retail online arbitrage or both before launching into wholesale selling. There are many programs that are much more affordable than ALGO, which not only sell online and do retail arbitrage but will also help you to sell wholesale and private label. Take time to research before dumping your hard-earned money into this program.

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your feedback — though we’re sorry to hear about your negative experience. We always aim to provide clear, honest, and helpful training to our members, and we take every concern seriously.

We’d also like to note that we couldn’t find any record of a Canadian customer matching your review details, which makes it difficult to verify your experience or offer personalized support. If you did purchase our program, please reach out directly to team@algoonlineretail.com so we can investigate and make things right.

That said, we’d still like to clarify a few key points for others who may read your review:

Refund Policy:
Our 30-day refund policy is designed to be fair and flexible. We don’t require members to finish every second of every video or make a sale — just to make a good-faith effort. Watching a reasonable portion of the training is usually enough. If you’re genuinely trying and unhappy, we do our best to refund you quickly.

Suppliers:
While it’s true that some big brand-name suppliers are cautious with new sellers, our new and old members secure quality accounts every day by using the exact outreach strategies we teach. With the right approach, persistence, and professionalism, even new sellers can build strong supplier relationships.

Getting a Reseller Permit:
The time it takes to get a reseller certificate varies by state. Some states issue them the same day; others take a few days or up to two weeks. We help members navigate this process based on their location.

Included Software:
All new members receive two months free access to ProfitHunter, our proprietary research tool that includes historical sales data (similar to Keepa). This is the only required tool for getting started and is included with your enrollment at no extra cost.

Optional Offers:
We do offer 1-on-1 consulting and automation tools, but they are completely optional and clearly marked as such. Many successful members stick with just the core program and email support — no upsells required.

International Support:
While our training is based around the US market (because it’s the largest and most profitable), we actively support Canadian members, who make up roughly 1/3 of our community. We also have large contingents of members from Mexico, Latin America, Europe, and Australia in addition to the US and Canada. We help international sellers get set up in the US or sell locally — whichever they prefer.

Comparison to Arbitrage Models:
Retail and online arbitrage can work for some, but it’s increasingly high-risk and hard to scale. Our program is designed for people who want to build a real, long-term business — not just flip products for a few bucks. Yes, we may cost more than a basic online course, but we deliver real results, up-to-date training, ongoing support, and a community that grows with you.

We wish you the best in your Amazon journey, whether with us or another route. And again — if you are a sincere member, please contact us directly so we can address your concerns.

Sincerely,
The ALGO Team

They aren't being honest

Note they try to claim I said things I did not say. I merely stated their advertised "live" event was not live, but prerecorded. They now are trying pretend I "chose" to attend a prerecorded event. It was advertised as a live event. They said Amazon reimbursed for product lost in the webinar, then in their reply here, they say something else. Further evidence that the webinar was prerecorded. Their defense seems to be limited to name calling. "Disgruntled customer" is a name I used a long time ago, trustpilot just keeps it in their records for me.
Yes, it's true I usually only write reviews for bad service. That doesn't make me a lunatic as they claim.
Regardless, their reply is further evidence their advertised "live" event was prerecorded and contains outdated content.
There seems to be hundreds of gurus selling courses of dubious value for drone businesses, stock trading, ecommerce and other enterprises. If they know how to get rich doing these things, why are they selling training instead of doing these things

Customer Service and Support Team are…

Customer Service and Support Team are above and beyond expectations !!! Based in the USA speaking English is a PLUS and most appreciated is that Algo is a Seller on the platform so learning from a Veteran selling since 2016 is a BONUS. I have referred a few friends to the course and they all have thanked me for improving their financial bank balance and have echoed the praise for the Team @AlgoOnline Retail heading to Vegas for ASD again and looking forward to growing my business 10X.

I buy the training May 2024

I buy the training May 2024. That doesn’t work the way they said. They need to tell the public the true. Amazon sale 90 % of the product and didn’t share the buybox. Is almost imposible to find something to sale in Amazon. Do not waste your money

Hi Zulma, sorry to hear you are struggling to find products! It seems like this review is based on limited product and supplier research done on your end.

Statistically, Amazon controls the sales of about 2,201,246 of the products sold on Amazon while 3rd party sellers sell 21,452,025 of the products on Amazon. Of those, nearly 1 million 3rd party controlled products sell over $50k per year while less than 400,000 of Amazon controlled listings sell over $50k per year.* This shows there are plenty of opportunities for 3rd party sellers to find profitable product opportunities without competing with Amazon for the Buy Box.

If you need help finding products that Amazon is not selling, please reach out to our support team and we'd be happy to assist you :)

Since the dawn of Humanity

Since the dawn of Humanity, US and Canada have shared a bond that is irrevocable and strong like none others. United States and Canada have a longstanding trade relationship, particularly in agricultural products, governed by a series of agreements and policies. Key aspects include:

USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement): Replaced NAFTA in 2020, covering various agricultural products and ensuring market access for both countries. Key provisions include:

Tariff Elimination: Most agricultural tariffs between the US and Canada are eliminated, fostering easier trade.
Dairy Products: Increased US access to Canadian dairy markets, allowing the US to export more dairy products to Canada.Overall, US-Canada agricultural trade policies aim to enhance market access, eliminate trade barriers, and ensure fair competition while maintaining high standards for food safety and quality.

Canada- ALGO Rocks! My Journey So Far

I am a longtime reseller in Canada. I joined ALGO a few months ago. So far it has been a great experience. I wanted to try something more. I haven't touched base with everyone yet as I've been on the go, but so far everyone has been awesome I have spoken with. There are a lot of old and new training programs that are somewhat similar to ALGO or mimic them but are not as thorough and supportive as they are. I recently needed questions answered for the next steps that weren't clear and Andrew from ALGO support team was polite and got back to me quickly, he was clear and answered everything I needed to know. This is great for new or seasoned sellers wanting to step things up. For all the information that I already know there is a lot I am still learning and getting from all of this and it's just the beginning. Thanks, ALGO Team:)

Great company, great folks!

Algo has a TON of information and they train you step by step with videos and live, online groups. Everyone is seasoned, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful to take each new client to the finish line at their own pace. You cannot miss if you do the work. Very highly recommended. Great folks, great company. 👍

Ugh...I joined ALGO in late November 2023

I joined ALGO in late November 2023. I am a seasoned Amazon retailer that does over $5 million in annual sales. In speaking with Tim, I decided to take the course because I believed him that some of his students were doing $1MILLION PER MONTH in sales following his teachings. Once I started thru the program (including a 4-hour accelerator) I determined that the program was strictly for newbies. I kindly asked for a refund and was turned down because I had not gone thru all the videos. So am I supposed to waste more time going thru information that I already know! I posted on their Facebook group a reach out to anyone who was doing $100k in monthly sales and the post was never even approved...which was a big red flag to me. Then I learned from a support member that in order to generate $20k in profit I would need to invest over $100k in inventory. This was not what I was sold. Very bait-and-switch. Overpromising and under-delivering.

Hi Stephen, Sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the program. In reading this review and your communications with our support team there seems to be a lot of conflicting information which makes it more difficult for us to resolve issues.

We pride our selves on exceeding expectation and always delivering what we promise. In your case, it seems like you barely went through any of your program (basically you just watched some introductory course lessons) and then asked for a refund well past our 30-day refund window because you felt the training was not for you.

1. To start, you purchased our program in December and didn't ask for a refund until March which is well past our 30 day refund policy window (this is primarily why you were not approved for a refund).
2. You say that the program is strictly for "newbies" but our records show you completed less than 10% of the videos course (the beginning of which is all about showing new sellers how to get set up) and you attended our 4-hour live accelerate seminar that is designed to help new sellers accelerate from $0 to their first sale. So, if you are only are going to watch parts of our program designed for new sellers, then yes, it will feel like it is all for new sellers!
3. If you are doing $5M per year, we know there are topics in the course than can help you as they have helped many other 7-figure sellers (topics on suppliers, brands, business growth, and multi-channel) scale. Some of those lessons (and membership in our Sellers Club Facebook group- our Facebook group for advanced sellers) are only available to members of our Seller's Club. To access that material, you must verify your sales but you never verified your $5M sales numbers with us or joined the Sellers Club.
4. Your purchase also included access to support, double-checks, tradeshows, and more which based on our records you never used.
5. As a $5M Amazon seller, you would have to already have over $100k invested in inventory and with dozens of financing options out there for experienced Amazon Sellers (including half a dozen funders that specialize in Amazon Sellers specifically), we're not sure why the fact that you need to invest in inventory is a concern for you or is in any way a "bait and switch".

So, in short, it seems like you just watched a few introductory lessons a few months after purchasing the program and then asked for a refund well beyond our 30 day refund window. While we always appreciate and respect feedback, we find this review to be pretty disingenuous and contrived.
