Let's start with discussing what Avasam is and some of its main selling points!

Avasam Review: Is This Supplier Worth the Money?

What is Avasam?

Homepage of Avasam

Avasam is a London-based automated dropshipping platform that provides you with all the tools you need to sell dropshipping products within the UK and USA.

Using their automation software, retailers can start selling online without holding any inventory!

Avasam's popularity was originally attributed to its 100+ pre-vetted UK suppliers that were able to provide you with fast shipping times within the UK.

Verified UK suppliers via Avasam

What's great is that Avasam recently opened shipping to the US too.

This means that dropshippers using Avasam can now ship both to the UK and the US, all from one platform.

This is actually big news, as it opens new opportunities for dropshippers.

Avasam just made a dedicated page for this on their website:

US based suppliers of Avasam

They also updated their shipping info to include shipping to the US for many products:

Shipping countries of Avasam

While Avasam's UK product selection is still much larger, with 200,000 products to dropship, its US product selection is slowly catching up with 20,000 available products.

You can find over 200,000 products across 18 different categories from the available suppliers.

Avasam has quite a strict pre-approval process for new suppliers (which ensures good quality), but they still constantly add new suppliers and products to their platform.

The platform was founded in 2018 by Tejas Dave with the goal of solving common problems dropshippers face with manual processes and bad system integrations.

How does Avasam work?

As we mentioned, Avasam is a fully automated dropshipping platform, meaning it provides you with all the tools you need to find products, process customer orders, payments, and shipping.

To make this happen effortlessly, Avasam integrates with all the major ecommerce platforms, including platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Wix.

This is a screenshot of integration options on Avasam website

So basically, Avasam makes the basic dropshipping model more effortless by automating parts of product research and fulfillment.

Plus, most of Avasam's suppliers offer one to five-day shipping times within the UK and the US, which is much faster than you would get from AliExpress.

The fast shipping times are one of the main reasons dropshippers prefer Avasam.

The pros and cons of Avasam

Next, let's jump into the main section of our article, which is the pros and cons of Avasam.

Under this section, we will also list the main features of Avasam so you can have a clearer idea of what they have to offer.

The pros

Let's start with the benefits of using Avasam.

1. Intuitive admin dashboard

We started our review by looking into how easy it is to actually use Avasam.

Once you register for the platform, this is how the admin dashboard view looks like:

Admin dashboard of Avasam

The 'Home' page shows Avasam's categories and other notable information, such as 'This week's top ten products.'

Top ten products of Avasam

We like that the 'Home' page is kept simple, and from the left sidebar, you can actually access all Avasam's features, such as the available products and suppliers.

Left sidebar of Avasam

From the down-right corner, you can contact customer support with live chat.

Live chat feature of Avasam

Avasam also has a six-step 'Getting Started' process for new customers:

Getting started with Avasam

Overall, we feel like the admin dashboard is easy to navigate, and even beginners with no previous experience will have no troubles.

A new feature on the admin dashboard: As of recently, Avasam launched its new AI tool that helps dropshippers improve product titles and descriptions. This tool can also be accessed from Avasam's admin dashboard.

2. Free plan for browsing the platform

You can browse Avasam and its platform for free. You can register for the free plan from Avasam's website.

What was nice is that you don't have to add your credit card information when you opt for the free plan.

Register for Avasam

With the free plan, you can:

  • Browse the available products from all the different categories.
  • Browse the available suppliers.
  • See how the automation features, such as product fulfillment work.
  • Contact Avasam's support team with the live chat.

And more. You can do anything with the free plan but can't actually start selling the available products.

The free plan is made only for browsing, and for that purpose, it's excellent!

3. Pre-vetted UK and US-based suppliers

We're now getting to why people love Avasam so much. One of the big reasons is their pre-vetted and verified UK and US-based suppliers.

Verified suppliers of Avasam

What's great is that Avasam doesn't just let any supplier in. Suppliers have to go through a 10-step onboarding and verification process before they get accepted.

These are some of the things Avasam requires from its suppliers:

  • They have to have strong customer support
  • The product data has to be accurate and complete
  • The product margins have to be attractive for sellers

For you as a dropshipper, this is a great thing. You can be sure the suppliers aren't trying to scam your customers.

To have minimal refunds and returns, Avasam suppliers offer quite fast shipping times. The available shipping times are divided into three categories:

  • Expedited tracked (1-2 days)
  • Standard tracked (2-4 days)
  • Standard (3-5 days)

Depending on the supplier, one of these shipping methods is available.

To actually browse the suppliers, you can head into Avasam's admin dashboard and click 'Our suppliers' from the left sidebar.

Suppliers of Avasam

If you scroll through the suppliers, you can see some interesting information, like if they offer free delivery and what product category they have.

Supplier information of Avasam

When you click on a supplier, Avasam automatically shows you all the products the supplier offers.

Cool, right?

4. 200,000+ products available to sell

As we mentioned previously, Avasam has over 200,000+ products that you can dropship to the UK, as well as over 20,000+ products that you can dropship to the US.

While some competitors may have more available products, Avasam surely has the most extensive UK-based product selection.

And they constantly update their US product selection too.

Avasam has its own dedicated page for the available products.

It's called 'Search products' in the Avasam admin dashboard.

Search products in Avasam

From this page, you can scroll through the available products. The products are divided into different categories, and some of the biggest categories are:

  • Garden
  • Home
  • DIY & Tools
  • Watches & Jewelry
  • Sport, Leisure & Hobbies
  • Computer & Electronics
  • Health & Beauty
  • Fashion & Lifestyle
  • Pet Supplies
  • Baby & Children
Categories of Avasam

When you click on a category, you can see all of the products available for it.

Garden products of Avasam

One of the standout features Avasam has for the products is the available filters.

Let's say you first select one of the product categories, such as 'Garden.' After that, you can select one of the available filters, such as 'WOW Deals,' 'Special Offers,' or 'New.'

Filters in Avasam

In our case, we had the 'Garden' category selected, and for the filter, we selected 'Special Offers,' and Avasam showed us related products.

Using filters in Avasam

This is definitely a great way to find unique products.

And if you want to take this step further, you can filter by the country you are planning to ship to.

Shipping countries of Avasam

For each product, you can see some important information even without accessing the product page.

5. Available details for each product

Every product has a dedicated product page where you can see and use additional information about the product.

To access the product page, simply click on any of the available products. For our example, we will use this 'Crystal Diamante Clutch Bag.'

Example products of Avasam product catalog

This is how the product page looks for our example product:

Product page example in Avasam

As we mentioned, each product page includes product data that you can take advantage of when actually selling the product on your online store.

For every product page, you can see:

  • The header of the product. When you sell the product, you can take inspiration from the available header for your own product pages.
Product header in Avasam
  • Supplier and product information. For each product, you can see more technical information like how many products there are available, the SKU code, and the brand name.
Supplier info on Avasam product page
  • Product importing and sample buttons. If you want to import a specific product to your online store, every product page has a button for it. You can also buy sample pieces if you want to see what the products actually look like.

  • Images. Avasam provides you with ready-to-use images for your own product pages and ads. For our example, there was only one image, but for most products, two to four images are available.
Available product images in Avasam
  • Available variants. Most of Avasam's products have different variants, which you can also see on the product page.

  • Shipping information. It's important to know how long the shipping time is for the products you sell and what countries the supplier ships to. You can see this on the product page.
Shipping information in Avasam
  • Product descriptions. For every product, you get a product description you can use and take inspiration from.
Product descriptions on Avasam product page
  • Related products. At the bottom of every product page, you can see related products.

These are the main things for every product page. While you can use these yourself with Avasam's permission, we don't recommend copying anything directly. Instead, use them as an inspiration and make your own changes.

6. Order processing page

Avasam advertises itself as an all-in-one product fulfillment solution for dropshippers.

That means you can also manage upcoming orders directly from Avasam.

Inside of Avasam admin dashboard, there is a dedicated page for this called 'Orders.' With the help of the available integrations, all the orders you get from your online store will appear here.

Once the orders start coming in, you can track the status of them from the same page.

7. Good returns and refund policy

We've done many reviews of different product fulfillment platforms, and one thing we appreciate about Avasam is its clear refund and return policies.

When you sell with Avasam, your customers can:

  • Return unused items for any reason within 30 days of delivery
  • Return faulty items up to 60 days from delivery
  • Get a full refund on the product once the return is approved

This is great for the customer but also for you as the seller.

Dropshippers often experience high refunds and returns when using platforms like AliExpress, mainly because of the long shipping times. With Avasam these problems are unlikely to arise, and if they do, their return and refund policy is awesome.

Managing the refunds and returns is relatively easy from Avasam's admin dashboard.

Just clicking 'Cancel order' next to the customer's order and going through the process enables you to do it.

8. Unique integrations

Out of the competition, Avasam has one of the best available integrations.

Integrations of Avasam

What's even better is that they constantly update new integrations to the platform, making it more robust.

Regarding ecommerce platforms, Avasam integrates with:

  • Shopify
  • BigCommerce
  • WooCommerce
  • Click 2 Launch
  • Wix
Shopify integration of Avasam

The ecommerce integrations make adding products from Avasam to your dropshipping store easy.

Once orders start coming in, the shipping information will automatically update to Avasam, and once you add balance to your Avasam account, your products will be sent out.

The ecommerce platform integrations fall a bit short regarding how many available there are, but all the major ones, including Shopify, are still available.

Regarding marketplaces, Avasam integrates with:

  • OnBuy
  • eBay
  • EKM
  • Amazon
  • Wish

With Avasam's marketplace integrations, you can sell your products directly on platforms like Amazon and eBay.

If you want to learn more about how these business models work, check out our articles on Amazon and eBay dropshipping:

And for social media platforms, Avasam integrates with:

  • TikTok

This is actually the most recent integration Avasam made to their platform, and in our opinion, one of the most impressive ones.

TikTok integration of Avasam

If you create your dropshipping store with TikTok Shop, you can integrate your TikTok account with Avasam and source products from Avasam's suppliers.

It also helps you automate product fulfillment, payments, and shipping.

The TikTok integration is definitely something not many platforms offer.

That's it for Avasam's integrations.

We will soon go through the process of integrating Avasam with an ecommerce platform, so keep reading!

9. Helpful customer service

Avasam is known for having good customer service, and it's something we can agree to.

You have three different options for contacting the Avasam team:

  • Contacting with live chat. For most people, this is the best way to connect with Avasam's customer support. If you go to Avasam's website, you can access the live chat from the down-right corner.
Customer support of Avasam

To contact Avasam via live chat, you must create an account with them (the free plan works).

  • Contacting with email. Avasam also has a public email address that you can contact (support@avasam.com). It's a viable option if you're okay with waiting for a moment. On business days, Avasam promises to respond to emails within 24 hours.
  • Contacting with phone. Public phone support is also available for Avasam's customers (+44 (0) 330 113 7788).

As part of our testing, we wanted to see how their customer service performed, so we sent them a message asking a simple question: If they ship their products worldwide or not.

Customer support message on Avasam

We got a response to our question within five minutes, and they helped us with any additional questions we had.

A small downside to Avasam's customer support is that it's not available 24/7, which is something a competitor CJDropshipping offers.

This is what Avasam states about their customer service availability: Customer support is available Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm (excluding Bank Holidays), and Saturdays 10 am-4 pm.

The lack of 24/7 customer support is still not a huge downside, as customer service is available six days a week.

Also, don't forget to check out the Avasam Knowledge Base; they answer many frequently asked questions there as well.

10. Active social media presence

We loved this part of Avasam. Looking at their YouTube channel, they're publishing new videos weekly on different trending products.

YouTube channel of Avasam

While this is not directly related to the features of Avasam, it's an excellent sign that the founders actually care about the platform and its products.

Even if you wouldn't select Avasam as a dropshipping supplier solution, we recommend checking out their YouTube channel, as you can find good insights into product research from there.

YouTube video of Avasam

On their YouTube channel, they also share tips on how actually to use Avasam and what it is.

Tutorial of how to use Avasam on YouTube

Great, right?

The cons

Every tool has something to improve on, and Avasam is no different from that.

During our review, we found a few shortcomings to it, so let's go through those.

1. Shipping is limited to the UK and the US

If you aim to sell your products in countries other than the UK or the US, Avasam may not be the right choice for you since they are the only available options.

If you ship to countries outside the UK and the US, we recommend using one of Avasam's alternatives. We will go through the three alternatives for Avasam soon in one of the following sections.

2. You can't use PayPal to pay for suppliers

You can use PayPal to accept payments on your chosen sales channel, but Avasam does not accept PayPal to pay suppliers, so you will need to register a payment card.

This is not a major downside but something you should be aware of, as PayPal is one of the main payment platforms that dropshippers use.

Avasam pricing

So, what does the pricing for Avasam look like?

There are four available plans: Free, Starter, Advanced, Business, and Guru.

Pricing of Avasam

As mentioned earlier, the free plan is only made for browsing the platform and its features.

If you want to actually start selling products, you have to opt for the Starter plan or one above it.

So, the true price of Avasam, if you want to use it to start selling products, is £19.99 to £149.99 a month (+ VAT). If you pay yearly, you can make some significant savings.

The main difference between the paid plans is the amount of orders you can manage every month. The bigger your store gets, the more expensive the plan you have to select.

When comparing Avasam's pricing to its competitors, the cheapest paid plan is more affordable than most competitors have.

For most people, the right integration will be Shopify, as it's one of the most used ecommerce platforms out there and loved by our blog readers.

If Shopify is not for you, all the other integrations can be found here too, whether it's with TikTok, Wix, or BigCommerce.

Click the 'Add' button next to your preferred platform to start the integration. For our example, it will be Shopify.

Shopify integration of Avasam

If you still have a free plan, this is where your luck ends, as you need to have a paid subscription with Avasam to do the integration.

After you've listed the products, you're ready to start selling the products!

FAQs about Avasam

Next, let's go through a couple of frequently asked questions about Avasam.

If some things are still unclear, these may help you.

Is Avasam free to use?

Avasam does have a free plan that allows you to browse the platform, but you can't actually use the features, such as selling products with the free plan.

Is Avasam good for dropshipping?

Yes! For those doing dropshipping within the UK and the US, Avasam has a large selection of suppliers and products to choose from. For those dropshipping internationally, look for an alternative.

Who is the founder of Avasam?

Avasam is a London-based dropshipping automation platform that was founded by Tejas Dave in 2018. They aim to solve some of the biggest problems dropshippers face, the main one being manual processes.

What do other users say about Avasam?

We all love reading honest reviews before making a decision, right?

Avasam has quite a good rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot. It's a bit less than on competitors like Spocket and Syncee, but it's still up there.

Customers especially praise their customer service. This is the feedback that we found on Trustpilot:

World-class customer service and support. Neel dealt with a complex issue quickly enabling a new Sales Channel. He was patient and explained the whole process step-by-step, even taking over and completing the complicated web settings for me. So glad I am with Avasam! Highly recommended.

Excellent company to work with to grow tour business as a seller. We now sell on multiple marketplaces, and the customer service works seamlessly with any issues we have with delivery or product relates issues.

The customers also pointed out the large selection of integrations. Here are a few reviews we found:

Super easy to upload products directly to marketplace platforms. Avasam makes the process of selling via dropshipping 10x smoother. They also have an awesome customer support team who helped me with the TikTok integration.

I have a Shopify store and the integration has been pretty seamless. I was looking for a dropshipping company that can help with sole supply to UK / has UK warehouses. The range of products available are vast and look good with decent pictures to advertise.

3 Avasam alternatives

Avasam is great for selling products within the UK and the US, but what if you want to sell in other countries?

That's where some of the alternatives are better.

Let's go through the alternatives we recommend.

1. Spocket

Home page of Spocket

Let's start the alternative list with Spocket. We've made a detailed review of it here, but let's go through it shortly.

Spocket is an ecommerce product fulfillment platform that allows you to ship products within the US, Canada, and Europe.

It's known for its high-quality suppliers that offer fast shipping times.

Just like Avasam, Spocket has a free plan that is made for browsing the platform. If you're thinking between the two platforms, why not make a free account for both and see?

2. Syncee

Home page of Syncee

Second on our alternative list is Syncee, which is a dropshipping product platform with over 6+ million products in the category.

While Avasam ships products within the UK and the US, Syncee has suppliers all over the world, making it a good option for those who want to sell internationally.

Syncee also has an advantage on the pricing, as they have a 14-day free trial for the paid plans (Avasam doesn't offer that). After that, Syncee's pricing plans vary from $29 to $99 a month.

If you want to learn more about Syncee, we've made a review of the platform here.

Exclusive Syncee Offer for Shopify and Wix users: Use DoDropshipping10 during checkout to enjoy a 10% off on the Pro, Business, Plus Marketplace plans. This offer is valid with your first subscription plan and for a limited time. Don't miss out!

3. CJDropshipping

CJdropshipping homepage

Third is CJDropshipping, which is a free Avasam alternative with one of the largest product catalogs out there.

Most of the products on CJDropshipping can be shipped internationally from China with fast worldwide shipping. If those are priorities for you, we recommend checking it out.

They also have 24/7 customer service available. It's something Avasam doesn't have so for those prioritizing it, CJDropshipping could be a good option.

We've also made a review of CJDropshipping, which you can check here.
