Where Do Great Deals Come From? It Starts With DealDash Suppliers

A cornerstone of DealDash has been helping our customers save money. If you’ve had the chance to bid in a DealDash auction, you probably noticed significant savings in comparison to what you would typically find in a big box store or at the mall. But have you ever wondered how we do it? It all starts with our trusted network of DealDash suppliers.

Great deals start with our trusted suppliers.

Keep reading to find out all about the DealDash suppliers, how we work with them to pass savings on to you, and a special weeklong liquidation event starting soon on DealDash.

Great suppliers create a win-win-win relationship

Since 2009, we have partnered with dozens of companies from around the world to fuel the auctions that you know and love. Want to take a guess at how many items we have brought to auction with the help of our suppliers? Over 2 million! Our efforts have not gone unnoticed either as we were awarded  the “Best Excess Inventory Liquidation Service – USA” award at the 9th annual award ceremony held by Global Brands Magazine.

Awards are nice, but our supplier partnerships serve a much more important purpose; obtaining a diverse product catalog that can be sold in our online auctions at far below retail prices, on average. In fact, we look at the partnerships with our suppliers as a true win-win-win scenario. Our suppliers win by being able to move large amounts of excess inventory without destroying the value of their brand. We win by having access to a variety of brands and their products from all around the world to fill our auctions win. And last but certainly not least, our customers win by being able to bid on and win these products that are often sold for a fraction of the suggested MSRP price.

A partnership that goes beyond savings

Perhaps the best part of our partnerships with the DealDash suppliers is that the benefit goes beyond a great deal. It is more important than that. For starters, we are motivated to help companies avoid having to discard and destroy unsold merchandise. The practice of destroying excess product is unfortunately all to common, and many brands have come under fire in recent years as videos showing luxury jackets being slashed or purses being burned go viral as they are shared online.

High fashion meets the landfill all too often.

The reason brands resort to destroy items is to maintain pricing power. Imagine if a luxury purse company discounted last year’s bags at 50% off the normal MSRP price. Savvy customers would take note. They would simply wait for an end of the season sale to get a great bag at a nice discount. So instead of discounting items, some brands destroy them instead. This way they don’t have to lower prices to move goods. We help them solve that problem by purchasing excess inventory from them and then auctioning it off. We never list products below the MSRP without the permission of the brand. Only the auction winner may purchase the item at the final auction price, everyone else has the option to purchase the item at the “Buy it Now” price, which is set at the MSRP unless otherwise agreed with the brand.

Don’t miss out on Inventory Liquidation Week on DealDash

June 6th to June 13th is the perfect time for you to get on DealDash. That week is Inventory Liquidation Week. Each day we run multiple auctions at the same time for featured liquidation items. We’ll also make the auctions more exciting than ever by offering big discounts on the final sales price of the auction. This means that the winner will be entitled to 50% or even 90% for select auctions. You can find Auction Leaderboards that reward bidders with free bids for collecting time as highest bidder during an auction. We will be offering our Runner-up discount to second place finishers in select auctions, too! And if all that excitement isn’t already enough, keep your eyes on the No Jumper Limit during Inventory Liquidation Week: sometimes it will be lower than the normal $5.

We hope to see you in the auctions, and thanks for being the best part of DealDash.

You know the saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, then run away as fast as you can.” If a Moroccan Prince emails you out of the blue and says he is holding millions of dollars in escrow for you, then you probably should click that “delete email” button as fast as you can. The same goes for grand promises made by money managers and fly-by-night investment companies. If they promise to double your money in just days, then you probably are dealing with a classic pyramid scheme. What about DealDash? Is DealDash legit?

One of the biggest shopping days of the year is almost here, are you ready? That’s right, an unexpected May holiday sale is right around the corner. Don’t bother picking up your calendar to try and refresh your memory about what day this could be—you won’t see it there. In fact, this special holiday is only for DealDash bidders.

On DealDash you don’t have to wait months for Cyber Monday -it’s coming this month!

Cyber Monday is normally the last Monday of November. It follows Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Shoppers celebrate Cyber Monday by waking up early and treating themselves to a day of online shopping. Cyber Monday is a big deal because it’s when online businesses offer their best promotions of the year. DealDashers know that Cyber Monday is a big day on DealDash, too—we always make sure to have a special promotion up our sleeve to help our bidders celebrate this important shopping day in style.

An unforgettable May holiday sale

So just how is DealDash celebrating Cyber Monday in May? By cranking our rewards up and moving the final sales prices of our auctions down.

DealDash’s Cyber Monday in May event gives you access to a world of deals from the comfort of your own home.

One major perk for this special one-day sale is an increased Time As Highest Bidder multiplier. Not just double or even triple the normal amount, but 5X! This means that you will fill your bidder bar five times faster than normal, and will be on the way to a reward of free bids quicker than ever.

Our Cyber Monday in May Sale also offers auction winners 90% off the final sales price of a won auction. Taking 90% off the DealDash deals you already know and love? What a way to celebrate Cyber Monday, in May no less!

Giving second place a reason to celebrate

During this May holiday sale, we want to share the winning experience with as many bidders as possible. So, we’re also offering our very popular Runner-Up Discount during the Cyber Monday in May event.

A purple icon and accompanying block of text explain how DealDash's Runner Up Discount works.

The Runner-Up Discount shows some love to bidders who almost won an auction and reminds folks that there is a reason to celebrate second place. We hope that you join us to celebrate Cyber Monday in May to claim your fair share of increased bidder rewards and discounted deals.

The DealDash Customer Experience

At DealDash, we believe there’s a better way to run online auctions, and that nothing beats the rush of a great deal. 

We never liked the experience of traditional penny auctions. In fact, our founder had a horrible experience with them as a customer. So we wanted to build something better. And we’ve done just that.

Two happy DealDash customers show off the electronics they won on DealDash.
From sign-up to the delivery of auction wins, every moment on DealDash is built with our customers in mind.

Since 2009, we’ve helped millions of Americans save money when buying products they know and love. Today, we are the longest running and most trusted pay-to-bid auction site on the internet. 

We understand that none of this would be possible without the trust and respect of our customers. And we do everything in our power to treat our customers with the same trust and respect.

Customer experience is in our DNA

Customer experience is at the center of everything we do.

From the very beginning, we knew that focusing on the experience of the customer was the key to creating an online auction experience better than anything else out there. That’s why we set out to create an auction site where every customer, not just the winning bidder, can enjoy the experience of our auctions.   Customers are the most valuable asset any company can have. To make sure every decision we make is driven by customer experience, we have built the customer into our company’s DNA:

Our Mission

We keep our customers’ wallets full and our partners’ warehouses empty.

Our Vision

To create a world where no customer, or inventory, gets left behind.

Our Values

CUSTOMER FIRST

  • Pride yourself on going above and beyond for our customers.
  • Treat our customers as you want to be treated yourself.
  • Talk with, listen to, and understand our customers.
  • Never take the customer for granted.
  • The customers vote with their wallets.

Traditional bidding sites create an awful customer experience

When pay-to-bid auctions first hit the internet, millions of people across North America signed up.

Unfortunately, most shoppers lost money and had a poor experience due to iniquitous auction models. And that’s exactly what happened to our founder, who spent $50 on a pay-to-participate auction site and ended up with nothing to show for it. 

The biggest issue we took with traditional bidding fee auctions is that they don’t favor all customers:

Only one person wins

In most auction models, the only person who gets to buy the product is the person with the highest bid. So if you don’t manage to win the auction, you go home empty handed.

Lots of sneaky fees

Many penny auction sites have additional bidding and shipping fees hiding in their small print. What’s the point of saving money on a product if you end up having to spend extra to get your product?

One auction per item

Traditional auction sites have limited inventory, so products are often only auctioned off once. Miss the auction, and miss your only chance to get what you wanted.

A better auction experience with DealDash

We do our best to make sure everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive with DealDash.

From our suppliers, to our customers, and even our staff, we make sure everyone feels they are treated fairly, honestly, and with appreciation.

Fair auctions

We designed our auctions so that every customer can have a great experience. We give everyone bidding an opportunity to purchase the product they want, regardless of whether or not they win. And we keep extra inventory of our products so that we can run several auctions of the same product.

Honest

It’s important to give our customers as much information about our auctions and products as possible. That’s why we have customer reviews about the product you’re bidding on directly in the auction’s page. We also feature a list of Recent Winners on our home page, and have compiled a list of Tips & Tricks to use in our auctions and even out the competition.

Security

We have a carefully crafted set of House Rules that are designed to ensure our auctions are as fair, safe, and as much fun as possible. We have integrated fail-safe features into our service to make our auctions fair and risk-free. And we offer a 90-Day Money Back Guarantee on your first purchase – no questions asked.

The DealDash customer experience

We’ve done everything in our power to make sure that we provide the best customer experience anywhere in the online auction world.

We’ve designed Our Auctions to be fair and honest, created policies to give back to our customers, and built the best Support Team anywhere on the internet. We’ll do whatever it takes to ensure our customers know how important they are to us.

Auctions

We’ve spent years developing solutions to patch the holes in traditional auction models. Here’s what we’ve come up with:

Buy It Now

We want everyone to get the product they want – even if they don’t win the auction. That’s precisely why we created Buy It Now – so that even if you lose an auction, you can buy the item for the listed price and get the bids you spent back to your account.

Free shipping

You shouldn’t pay a penny more for an item that you’ve won. Every item sold on our site is delivered to your door for free – every time. You can also Track Your Order to see exactly when it is scheduled to arrive.

Auction Features

With DealDash, the more you participate, the more you get in return. Our auctions have gamified features such as Time As Highest Bidder, to reward you for being an active user.

Services

The DealDash Customer Experience goes beyond our auctions.
We won’t stop until we have optimized every corner of DealDash experience.

Promotions & Rewards

There is always something new on DealDash. We run Daily Promotions and special campaigns that provide discounts and reward active users for their participation. And our Royalty Program, which is open to everyone, is our way of thanking our customers for being with us.

Transparency

We are transparent about everything that happens in our auctions. In every auction we disclose information about past auctions for the same product. You can find out how much it has sold for, who purchased the product, and how many bids they used to win the auction.

Crowdsourced ideas

We believe that a great idea can come from anywhere – and we’d be fools to limit those ideas to our own team. We encourage our customers to share their thoughts about our services with us. Some of the most popular auction features and products have come from customer suggestions. 

Support

People are the foundation of support. 

Our 20 million active users need a lot of attention. So we’ve invested heavily in Customer Support to help us ensure our customers are happy and satisfied.

Customer Success Team

We have the ‘94 Bulls of Customer Success. Our top-notch Support Team is available around the clock to make sure everyone is seen, heard, and served.

Amazing Ratings

The proof is in the pudding. We have a 4.5-Star Rating on TrustPilot, a 4.28-Star Rating on BBB, and a 4.28-Star Rating on Sitejabber.  

Weekly customer chats

Every DealDash employee has a weekly feedback call with a customer. This company policy helps us stay connected with our customers and learn a lot about their experience with DealDash as a result. We put the knowledge we gain to good use.

Share your experience as our customer with us

There’s no limit to what we can learn when we stop and listen.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us – we love hearing from our customers. Hearing from our customers has become a huge part of our company culture, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve the experience of all of our customers. 

If you have any questions, comments, ideas, or concerns, contact our Customer Support team. You can Send Us an Email or Submit A Ticket

We’re beyond excited to hear from you.

Happy Birthday To Us: DealDash 13th Birthday is here!

This week marks an important milestone…a few of them, in fact. International Women’s Day took place on March, 8th, a day that celebrates women all around the world. On March 10th, some health-conscious Americans will celebrate National Pack Your Lunch Day—a day that encourages Americans to skip ordering pizza and instead bring something tasty and healthy from home. This is an important movement considering that the average American spends over $1,200 on fast food each year! But on DealDash, we are celebrating a different important milestone; the DealDash 13th Birthday celebration!

A happy shopper holds up a DealDash birthday gift!
Come open some birthday presents with us on DealDash this week!

Our birthday celebration is already in full swing, so don’t wait, come and enjoy the final days of our week-long birthday party with us!

We are multiplying the rewards and deals

This week we are offering bigger rewards to the most important people in our lives, our customers! You can count on an increased Time As Highest Bidder rewards until the final day of our 13th Birthday Sale, March 13th. For those bidders that may not know, TAHB (Time As Highest Bidder) is a big fan favorite with DealDash bidders. Simply put, TAHB is another way that DealDash gives you free bids for simply bidding. When you are the highest bidder in an auction, your TAHB bidding meter fills up. When it is full DealDash gives you 100% free bids.

Bidders are able to reach up and grab free bids when they complete a TAHB level!

The more you bid, the faster your TAHB meter fills up and rewards you with free bids.

And maybe you will be able to reach a Milestone Level during our special 13th DealDash Birthday celebration.

What’s 90% off of an already great deal?

One final special twist we want to share with our wonderful bidders to help celebrate our 13th DealDash Birthday is a special discount for our auction winners. How much of a discount, you ask? Great question! Since we are turning 13, 13% off the final sales price of the auction could make sense…but that is not quite good enough. Perhaps double that to 26%? A bit better, but not suitable for our 13th DealDash Birthday extravaganza. We decided on 90% off on Saturday and Sunday!

A promo banner advertises 90% off for a limited time.
If you win an auction this week, you can take 90% off the final sales price of the auction!

Our birthday promotion will last until the end of Sunday, March 13th, and we really hope to see you in the auctions. No need to bring us a gift. And while we cannot promise you any birthday cake, we can promise some auction excitement along with some great promotions. Happy birthday to us, and happy bidding to you!
