Alright s pocket s pocket dot coat a lot of youtubers have been talking about this software recently
Basically because of the coronavirus that you can't ship products easily from the united states US pocket is a good alternative
to ship from the US and from the EU
So if you're selling to people in in the European Union or people around Europe, then it's very easy to use products for them
That's what they were saying and also products from the US that you can easily source them
let's actually see a very honest review of the platform what it is and I've already signed up where you can do here is
Click sign up if you haven't there's no link in the description. So just go and look up ask pocket
I've already made my account
You can make an account for free you do have to get a free trial or at least an account
It's a free trial for 14 days
So you do have a few options here and what they do with the people that are in the higher tiers
I think there's four tiers. I'll show you them right now is you have access to premium products
So if you pay more you basically get more products or products that you can ship faster
But I think products that are based in the US so you do have to pay for
Access to those products one feature that I don't like too much but let's just keep going
So if you click premium products, you have all these that say premium premium premium premium premium premium
Like it says here. So let's click on one of them. And since I can't
Import them because I didn't get the Premium Membership yet. It's gonna show up like this, please upgrade to premium
So this is the one that I got right now. It's
$12 per month starter and you don't have access to premium products
Then you have the parole for 50 bucks a month
Then you have the Empire for hundred bucks a month and then the unicorn for 300 month
So basically the same thing this one gives you access to unlimited products 100 bucks a month a little bit steep, but still alright
so
Let's go through the process of something on a beginner might do and let's try to find the product on s pocket that I'm gonna
Sell on my dropshipping store. Let's say I go to e come hunt which is one of my favorite
dropshipping spy tools I
Know the owners they're pretty good. I can go and login and look for one of the products that is popping there
Let's say I want to sell it. How am I drop shipping source?
Especially doing this pandemic and let's look for a product that is very relevant to what we're going through right now
So we have a tape measure
You have neck pain relief we have that over there
massager
Windmill cat toy let's say you're selling cat toys. Let's look for that one and let's say we want to sell
UV sterilizer Pro that that one is a lot a lot of people are interested in that one automatic show cover
It's not that great and no touch zero contact old 3d printing pen that one that one's actually really good for kids
So let's look at those three, right? We have a 3d printing pen and then you can just look at the Aliexpress link
So we'll go through that. I don't recommend sourcing from Aliexpress
I've mentioned that before in the videos if you want to learn about Aliexpress alternatives
I do have a full video on the description about that. So we got this UV sterilizer pearl
Let's go to Aliexpress again. And we have this cat toy. Let's go to Aliexpress and pull them up here
So the 3d printing pen has about 5000 orders if you use this little application called pecks colette pecks. Kala PE x
GL e you can see about daily orders
So this one is actually selling twenty twenty-five thirty drop down to about twenty. Had a nice day here at fifty
So I like this one. Let's say we want to sell this one. For example now, let's go to s pocket over
You there we go. Okay. Let's go to ask pocket and let's do treaty printing pen or drawing pen
So let's look at drawing pen here
drawing pen
Let's look for that one
Let's try to find something similar so this one is definitely not this is just a pencil or a pen
Showing you some eggs here
a book
So, okay. So drawing pen is definitely out of the question. Let's try doing for example
Toys or kids toys or toys. So this is duke toys the great needs to sell in especially now
Okay, so we got some dresses
Stuff for winter dresses cat toy nice. Okay, so cats using toy it's premium
So you do have to pay a little bit more to get access to it and it gets shipped from the u.s
In about eight to fourteen times, so that's not that bad. That's that's a pretty good processing time now during the pandemic
After the pandemic I do I do would like to see a three to four days or at least a four to five days
Here on the shipping time if it's coming from the US
Dark collar kind of unrelated things and also the product selection. I think it's just a little bit a
Little bit off like when you look for a particular product, it just tells you random other products
So those are toys now let's try to find let's say a sterilizer or UV one
Sterilizer, let's see what happens when we put sterilizer up here
Look for sterilizer
Okay, we got this ultraviolet this this
Infection lamp we got this toothbrush cleaner toothbrush cleaner, which actually isn't that bad of a product
It just doesn't sell that much. So let's do this one. Let's look at that listing price thirty nine ninety
So that's the cost of getting the product for you and then you sell the product for about sixty here on Aliexpress
We get it for twenty one dollars. It's a pretty similar one or at least pretty similar to that one
So it's half of the price on Aliexpress as compared to on s pocket
Let's do
Something that I do like about s pocket even though I kind of I don't want to be too too aggressive in this review
But one thing that I do like is the order samples, so if you selective air in here
Let's say style a style be in style. See I don't really know what that means
but let's just do style a I guess and you do quantity 5
You can order a sample to your house. So order the shipping address
And for example, let's say you're based in the US you can ship this from the u.s
To the US and get a sample of the product
Which I think it's pretty useful not a lot of places have that or not
A lot of solutions have that shipping time USPS or United States free four to seven business days. I like it
The only problem is worldwide it does not ship
So if you want to ship within the US you would have to confine yourself only to the US
For this particular product and the product selection, isn't that big?
So now that I did a little beginner serious there or looking for a product and then try to find an S pocket
We really couldn't find something that pairs up with the Aliexpress one, but let's say I want to sell something just random
Let's say I want to go to the product search here and I want to do
You can do select by location ships from United States. So let's do ships from us
Okay, so we got some lip balm triplets kits
cami top
We got okay a face cover a mask. I don't suggest you sell face covers though
Cooking products wouldn't tray
Pass case wallet a
Lot of clothing I see
so yeah, just a lot of clothing a lot of
Consumables which isn't that bad shipping times are 8 to 14 days on most of these I would like to see a little bit less
You also have ethically sourced so let's actually see what that ethically sword means
Okay, so mostly soaps
fragrances
Probably like this, so
Even though I've seen some videos of people saying oh you can use this as pocket as an upsell app
For example take products from your in an upsell to your customers to the products that you already have from
let's say Aliexpress or the type of
Processing facility or processing service. I do agree with that. The only thing I don't like is that a lot of these products?
Well, you have to access the premium feature in order to even have access to them and import them to your store
so if I click Add to import list it always text me to the $99 per month, so
And/or the $49 per month, which is 25 premium products
I don't like the fact that you have to pay just for accessing the products not even actually ordering the product
so that's a little bit weird and
The fact that you can get samples I do like that I don't like that if they're in the u.s
They don't ship outside of the US. So with the shipping town four to seven days plus processing time
That'll be around 10 to 12 days a little bit longer
I would expect it to be now during this pandemic. So and the listing price is also pretty high
Overall, I'm not super impressed by this by this app
I don't see why so many youtubers are trying to promote it right now wink wink cuz you know the answer
But let's try something else. So let's say we can sort by suppliers. So that's pretty cool and price filter we can sort that
Categories here we can sort if you want me to look for your category
Make sure to drop your niche below but let's say I don't want to sell sports and outdoors
Although that's not a great niche to sell in. Let's try pets here. Let's see what we can find for pets. So we have
Came
Just a lot of products that I see here wouldn't really sell in the wheel world. They are just their cool products, but I
wouldn't really sell any of these so
For example, if we go to Aliexpress and we look up pets although it's not a direct comparison. It's the actual platform
You find for example pet groomer
And you also have the orders per product pet Bowl, which is selling with a pet bed. But you're selling tracker
It's all selling. So let's say I want to do pet bull
and
Let's take the category out and then do search on pet bolt and see all we can find there
And we got pet bowl, okay, so just a lot of rec okay, we got this one
It's it's shipped from China unfortunately
So the only one that I would like to sell from there ships from China shipping time fifteen to thirty
But if you see shipping time
be careful with all these apps if it says shipping time click on it and
See if it says processing and then it's like processing time on top of that. So just be very careful with all that
Overall I'm not impressed. I like it if you are trying to build a brand off of one specific product
So let's say you find a product here that is shipping from the US and let's add ship from the US
If I want to do for example a clothing brand or want to sell some masks like this one right here
Resealable translucent snack bag for seven dollars. That's insane a
Snack pack for seven dollars, okay
Well, I want to solve for example bags like this then although the price is a little bit steep. I'm assuming this is ethically sourced
hand finish in our studio in La Jolla, California
So this is this is actually really nice right for products like this that for example, you're sourcing from a local ethically sourced supplier
Or ethical manufacturer that would actually be a nice twist to your brand
But I would always suggest as pocketing
If you're just trying to sell trendy products or products that are for example
Dropship or building a Shopify drop shipping store as your first business. I don't think this is the best alternative to use out there
I think it's more of a long term brand
Once you find a really nice product and you want to do it ethically sourced ship from the US
Although the shipping times are a bit higher than I would expect them to be then
It would be a nice platform to use for that sense import lists. You can click on it and have the import list here
so basically the same way as it does in older low and
You can then click push the store and I'll push it to your Shopify stores pretty easily just like it does with a very low
Apolo and all the different other apps out there
So overall I give s pocket a rating of let's say three and a half
stars out of five
Just because I don't want to batch on them too much because they do have some nice products and some night twists
To some products because you can source. Ethically you can search products that are that are based in the US and are really good
Performers or at least good products to build a brand out of you can't really find regular drop shipping products
So saying it's a good alternative to Aliexpress or saying you can find a lot of products for dropshipping
I don't think that's the case with something like this
And also the shipping times are a little bit weird and a lot of the products that you do want to sell they are mostly
Based in China. So for example one product that is selling really well right now is an oxygen meter or an oxy meter
Or that sells during the pandemic and has been selling for the past couple weeks
And if you look at both for the ones that they available ships from China chips from China
So there's not really anything different using s pockets anything else and also the price is pretty high. I pay about $20 per
Oximeter that I sell so overall not really impressed
Not sure why so many youtubers are promoting it again
But I do recommend you do your own research you check the different drop shipping
Alternatives that there are out there to Aliexpress and if you do find your product then awesome go for it
Use a sprocket and see if you can actually source from them. Thank you for watching. This s pocket review is actually legit
