Vertical Ventures Inc.
Vertical Ventures Inc., operated by Tasfiq Rouf, was a deeply disappointing experience. The company was hired to manage and fulfill an Amazon FBA/FBM store with the expectation of professional operations and reliable order fulfillment. Unfortunately, the opposite occurred.
Due to severe mismanagement, approximately 95% of orders were canceled and refunded because they were never fulfilled. This resulted in significant damage to my Amazon account, including poor metrics and ultimately the loss of the store.
Communication was extremely poor. Responses were often delayed by weeks at a time, with explanations that he was managing multiple businesses and overwhelmed. After long periods of no contact, issues remained unresolved.
When I requested a refund—especially after my Amazon store was effectively destroyed—the request was denied. Despite still holding my inventory, I was told I would need to pay additional shipping and stocking fees to retrieve products I can no longer sell. This felt unreasonable given the circumstances and the losses already incurred.
Sales declined rapidly, operations were mishandled, and basic service expectations were not met. The company consistently overpromised and underdelivered, causing measurable financial and reputational harm.
Based on my experience, trusting Vertical Ventures Inc. with an Amazon store was a costly mistake. I strongly recommend that others proceed with extreme caution and thoroughly vet alternatives. I am also not alone—there are multiple clients seeking answers regarding similar unethical business practices.
