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
