Good variation of products

Good variation of products. A lot of small brands, but sometimes also big business behind them.

For us sometimes the 100 euro order per brand is a problem at restock, since we are a small store in a village.

Dear S Tapp

We are deeply sorry to hear about this inconvenience caused by the emails sent to your address.

We can fully understand if this has been an annoyance to you and want to assure you that it was not done purposefully. It is plausible that users receive Newsletters because they have been prospected by a brand to register with us.

Do not hesitate to alert us if this unfortunate situation persists.

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback, we truly appreciate all comments shared and hope this problem won’t arise again.

Shall you have any further questions, queries or concerns, do not hesitate to raise them, our team will be delighted to assist.

Kindest regards,
The Ankorstore team

Bad customer service

Bad customer service, not holding up to previously made agreements, often times doesn't respond, claims commission on refunded orders, integration with Shopify is a mess on a lot of levels, automatically fulfills orders in Shopify that are not fulfilled and then gives us a penalty for late shipment.

I have bought several times through Ankorstore. Service is great, most sellers have sent the packages quickly and the few times I had a problem with a product that arrived damaged, it was solved very fast. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for new suppliers.

Reliable & professional

I've been sourcing products through Ankorstore for about 18 months now, and they never disappoint! 😊
They are reliable and professional.
I like that I can filter the products to find exactly what I want to stock in my shop. I recommend to everyone to give them a try.

AVOID! There are hidden costs and commissions

When I signed up I was promised that I would be charged 0% commission on any of my existing stockists that order via the platform. They have now changed this policy and charge 12% commission for my own existing customers I have found via tradeshows to buy from me on their platform! This change happened with no notification or consent on my part, and when I emailed them to dispute it they stated this was now their policy. I will of course be immediately closing my shop on Ankorstore as soon as my final orders have shipped out.

They also harassed me aggressively to join until I finally gave in and signed up. I was wary as I had a bad experience not getting paid by a similar platform and needing to take them to court. I recommend avoiding all these platforms, grow your business on your own website where you can be in control of it!

These 5* reviews are definitely fake!

Absolute scam merchants

Absolute scam merchants. I have been in business for 18 years, regularly use Faire and Creoate with excellent credit terms. I ordered twice from Ankorstore in the past and it was fine. However one day I went to order and I noticed there were no 30 or 60 day payment terms like in the past. I enquired about it and never received a satisfactory reply. At one point they did say that I would have to start paying up front again before they would consider giving payment terms again. Then however they sent me an invitation to Ankorstore Plus where if I paid £14.99 a month I would get between 30-90 payment terms and also free shipping. I am a member of a similar scheme with Faire so I signed up. However they did not apply any payment terms. So what was I paying £14.99 for? I have now been charged £14.99 a month and despite still (falsely) advertising that if you join you get these payment terms YOU DO NOT. I have now cancelled my direct debit and I will not be shopping with Ankorstore in the future. Faire is VASTLY superior.

We made 6000 referrals

We made 6000 referrals, out of those they claim only 7 joined Ankorstore. My dashboard says they never even bothered looking and now they've expired. They claim they contacted them (even though the dashboard says different). I've added for proof but they refuse to give it. Emails are usually just ignored or they get someone to call who doesn't have the ability to deal with the issues. Hands down the worst customer service I've ever endured. Don't bother making referrals, you are just wasting your time.

Best for service and choice of products

Being a small independent retailer, Ankorstore have given me great service and support from the start. They are my first choice when looking for products and their Ankorstore Plus scheme is very helpful when a small top up order from a supplier is very useful. Another wholesaler I made a couple of orders with gave such poor service, I contacted them last week and requested they cancel any outstanding orders and close my account!

The shipping costs per company are too high!!! 30€ per company? If we want to order for more than one the shopping adds up and goes too high! One of the reasons our orders on your website are fewer now.

Dear Nikolaos,

We want to express our gratitude for sharing your thoughts with us. Your feedback is extremely valuable as it allows us to enhance our services.

We completely understand your frustration regarding the shipping fees. However, please be assured that your business is highly valued by us, and we are fully committed to assisting you in any possible way.

At Ankorstore, we have implemented three different types of fees associated with shipping and handling for retailers like yourself. Here are some additional details for your reference:

- Shipping fee: To ensure the smooth and efficient delivery of your orders, we have a €30 fee that is applicable for any checkout below €300 (excl. VAT).

- Long distance fee: In certain situations, there is a €30 fee based on the brand's location and your location within Europe. You may have noticed this fee labeled as 'Shipping from {brand_country}' on our website and invoice. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

- Heavy/fragile fee: For products that are considered heavy or fragile to package and ship within Europe, we apply a €20 fee. These items include Beer & Ciders, Water, Juice & Sodas, Wine & Champagne, Olive Oil & Vinegar, and Spirits. This fee is necessary to ensure the careful handling and safe delivery of these delicate products.

Please note that all these fees are fixed rates that are applied during checkout. Additionally, there is a minimum order value per brand of €100 (excl. VAT).

We would also like to highlight that if you are an Ankorstore+ subscriber, we have great news for you. As a subscriber, the shipping fee and the heavy/fragile fee, if applicable to your order, will be waived. Ankorstore Plus is available to all independent retailers in France, Germany, Spain, and the UK.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused, and we genuinely appreciate your feedback. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us through our chat or contact form. We are here to provide you with full support.

Thank you for being a valued member of our community.

Stolen £250

I had around £250 in store credit with Ankorstore because of issues they had with my order last year. I only came around to using it this week, but when I went to my wallet it said expired.

I didn't receive any notifications or warnings about this and when I got in touch with customer service they said it's policy not to reimburse or anything.

Absolutely dreadful and I would steer clear.

Dear Alex,

Thank you for taking your time to leave us a review.

We understand that losing credits can be frustrating and we empathize with the situation you are facing. It's disheartening to experience such an unexpected setback, and we want to assure you that we are here to help resolve this issue.

At Ankorstore, we strive to provide our customers with a convenient and reliable credit system. As part of our service, most of our credit offered are valid up to a year, allowing ample time for our valued retailers to utilize them. We understand that keeping track of credits can sometimes be challenging, and we empathize with the difficulties you may have encountered in this process.

While we genuinely regret any inconvenience caused, we kindly remind our retailers that it is their responsibility to monitor the expiration dates of their credits. We provide this duration to ensure our customers have a reasonable period to utilize their credits effectively. However, we understand that oversights can occur, and we are committed to finding a solution that benefits both parties.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch with our customer support team so that we can review your specific situation and explore potential options for resolving this matter. We value your partnership and want to work together to find a mutually satisfactory solution.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding. We look forward to assisting you and continuing our positive collaboration.
