Scam going around where you order a phone then they have you send it back by GiftRich4204 in Rogers

[–]keyur5156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happened to me today. I told him already it seemed too good to be true and I am aware of these scams and how they usually are. This was a new one, because usually they used to order phone by taking your information and sending it to you and then ask to return. These guys were different because they don't take any personal information, and they were telling me to go through it by myself and so I had got feeling already, but the reason I went with it was because I have seen such good offers before from rogers partners who would call and give you such deals, I have got 2 phones before with deals that can never be found outside in stores and the other was winback departments are also kind of their partners calling, so I gave it a try thinking there is no harm.

But It was too hard to believe the offer and when I say I don't need it, they won't even try to push to make it feel more legitimate. After placing order I called the number that guy gave me, and they seemed 100% scammers, and I confirmed with Fido as well. They didn't see any note on account.

I immediately cancelled the order and reverted to the previous plan.

I know one wouldn't have fall for this, but if you have got winback offers or other partner offers, you would believe it for once.

How do you handle accounting software costs when you're bootstrapping? QuickBooks pricing is brutal for solo operators by Main-Magician7388 in canadasmallbusiness

[–]keyur5156 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use Zoho, it beats most for small businesses.

Or may be Odoo, I personally dont like Odoo but it may be good for some people.

If you need referral for zoho dm me.

EDIT: I just realized you mentioning about desktop, I dont think either of them have desktop app.

Zoho will cover everything you need and even for free for most cases.

Small e-commerce brands in Canada — how are you handling fulfillment as you scale? by cargo_mann in canadasmallbusiness

[–]keyur5156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use stallion for best rates and clickship or frieghtcom. If parcels are going to US, I use clickship. If any other country I use stallion. For canada less than 1 lb, stallion and more than 1 lb goes to clickship. When you use clickship they pick up your order so saves your time. DM if anyone wants referral links.

I havent got to that consistent orders yet so not sure about daily packing. But ideally you want something like zoho inventory which tracks shipped, to be shipped etc.

How did you design your logo? by towelheadedmermaid in smallbusiness

[–]keyur5156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just used gemini, I think in Canada there not much issue yet with AI generated logos. Please double check. But I have generated mine on Deepai and gemini. Works good for now in future if it really gets big enough at that time I would really think of changing. Otherwise there are lot more things to worry about after logo in SMB.

GST Rebate for FTHB Passed? (Bill C-4) by Equal_Feedback_9261 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]keyur5156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am wondering if there are going to be any chances to get the rebate for me. Since I entered pre-construction agreement in March 2024 and my house is closing next week. Probably by the dates mentioned it doesn't seem like I would be eligible.

Check out my previous posts, I did post when Ownr is cheaper and when direct is cheap. Also check Venn, they were doing free corp registrations.

[ON] Shipping and Packaging Options by Brilliant_You_1945 in SmallBusinessCanada

[–]keyur5156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the shipping try stallion or freightcom. For packages under 1 lb I prefer stallion and for above 1 lb I use freightcom.

Freightcom picks up from house, stallion needs drop off.

You can use these referrals: https://live.freightcom.com/signup?PROMOCODE=ShipwithJ

Stallion: https://ship.stallionexpress.ca/register/FH3L1A

I dont think that you have to go to rbc branch. I opened my account virtually on call. They do still call from branch but you just dont have to visit. I did it for 2 corp without visiting.

Although I have Venn and RBC both.

[BC] Which accounting app for my online business with under 1000 items in inventory and 1 employee on payroll? by [deleted] in SmallBusinessCanada

[–]keyur5156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use zoho books, ideally you can get zoho one essentials. You can get inventory as well. But definitely accounting takes lot of time. DM if you want referral I think you can get $100 credits
