They Support Scammers. *2025-07-08, version 9.2.2* This B2B platform is absolutely horrible. After being scammed by one of their suppliers and showing all evidence that was requested of me, they simply did not care and offered no support.

Turned out to not be the case. Do not use this app. Global sources verifies anybody even if they aren’t legit. I ended up getting scammed out of hundreds of dollars and although the supplier was a scammer global sources was the thing that made me trust them because of this false verification **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your feedback.

Fuyez fort !!!! ### 1/5 — Terrible Terrible App *2024-02-09, version 8.1.2* I’d like to be positive but the experience is not unfortunately. When you’re using the app and writing to a supplier- the app won’t let you continue while you are trying to make enquiries. It will NOT let you scroll through the next stages to complete the enquiry so you can order with a supplier. There is NO Customer Service Support at all inside the app either. This is why I’m writing a review. It’s 2024 and professional business is simply not done in such a low quality way. They must have lost loads of orders and don’t even know about. How’s that for a modern business mindset?!?!?! Don’t bother with it. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE! *2024-01-13* I’ve never wrote an complaint before so this will be my first ever. I deleted this app and emailed one supplier and got hit with so many spam emails from suppliers on their site! I’d emailed them to get my account deactivated and still receiving emails. I’ve reached out to their support multiple times and no one emailed me back to stop the issue. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We understand your feelings and apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact us at the service@globalsources.com, We'd love to help you with this. ### 1/5 — It’s a scam *2023-12-20* All people will contact you don’t wanna video call and they want to send the money first don’t deposit your money ask them do you have a Google listing.
