Seeing all these frustrations just to make 2% cb... which will eventually be lost once a package doesn't get delivered...man...I'll offer my 2 cents.
BGs used to a good hustle...when this thread has less than 2 pages. Now it sucks for anyone new to try:
1. most merchants are difficult to order, especially to BG addresses
2. unfriendly return/refund policy. this is partially b/c of using resller address and also fraudulant "refund groups" were rampant in the past few years
3. BGs lowering payout price. below cost deals started probably 2022-2023, BGs are basially squeezing as much profit as they can. Amazon gives 5% cb? we'll take 3%!
4. If you think everyone uses BGs to earn points you are delusional...stolen goods/stolen cc/money laundrying...all part of the game now that BGs become more popular
Enjoy while it lasts!
I agree with this assessment. I gave it a try but after seeing how many packages BFMR and others lost, I had to stop. BFMR loses amazon packages SO OFTEN. Like 5-10% often. I literally lost money. And they offer no recourse with little to no customer support. They ghost you. So many datapoints of this. Same with other groups like EMB and maxout.
Whats even worse is that the retailers ban your accounts and can link them to your main account. Target did this for me. My partner was very upset that she couldn't shop online at target anymore. Best buy as well.
I would not recommend this to anyone. Dropshipping is way too risky and one order of 3x macbooks lost can cost you $4k+.
