About 6 months ago, I requested information on dropshipping from Doba’s website. I thought the concept of dropshipping was interesting, so I figured why not find out more. 1 month ago, I received a call from Doba asking if I’d still be interested in dropshipping. Just as I remained respectful for that phone call, I remained respectful for the other 4 calls they gave me throughout the month (approximately). I continually asked to be put on their do not call list, and yet I continued to receive phone calls.

On my way back from the city today, (surprise, surprise) I received my 9th call from Doba this month. When I asked to be taken off their calling list, the representative laughed and refused my request. He then proceeded to insult me multiple times. I immediately asked to speak with his superviser. I wasn’t going to sit on the phone and listen to this jerk, nor was I going to continue getting calls from Doba. I explained my story to his supervisor, who told me that I was out-of-line and his employee did nothing wrong. The employee fought me about being put on the do not call list (which may or may not exist for Doba), and ended the phone call by hanging up on me mid-sentance.

This experience makes me question 2 things about Doba. First, it makes me question their employment procedures and practices. How exactly do they find these employees? I can promise you that because both the employee and his supervisor I spoke to disrespected me to the extent they did, Doba clearly isn’t too worried about their employees maintaining respect to clients and potential clients. Seeing as that is the first thing most companies look for in positions where employees deal with people, I think calling to question Doba’s employment procedures is reasonable.

Secondly, it makes me question Doba’s business practices. You’d think after asking a total of 5 representatives to be put on a do not call list, you’d be on that list. And yet everytime I ask, the calls continue coming in (and in today’s case, my privacy gets disrespected). Thus making it more than appropriate for me to question their business practices.

Anyways, what’s the moral of the story? Don’t sign up for Doba’s trials or for more information unless you’re ready to be harassed by numerous phone calls until you sign up.
