This is the most informative channel covering franchises. If you're looking to get into business, franchise or not, you can really learn something. No hype or reliance on celebrities. Another similar channel profiled a prominet mma personality who getting involved in the snack vending business. Every red flag imaginable was raised but both the host and guest were oblivious to them. Ive owned both a auto body shop and a wholesale florist supply. Both were non franchise. I really enjoy your transparency. Thankyou!

Thank you for watching and the positive feedback! Viewers from the hype filled channels usually come here and tell us how negative we are 🙂

The most expensive shipping solution imaginable. I pity the customers who use them. One trip to one of these should be enough to convince anyone they need to be better pepared next time they need to ship something. Dollar stores sell mailers and small boxes, rolls of tape. I quit dealing with anything that required UPS. Those stores just ripoff occasional shippers. Definitly not a business model im interested in.

Where did franchise owners think the profit was going to come from? Selling boxes and peanuts? A markup on retail UPS rates? They make a bit of money on monthly mailbox services but mostly the UPS store accepts amazon returns, how profitable is that? People aren't faxing much these days. You can print your own labels at home for shipping and drop it at the store where they make nothing.

I drop packages there every day. Never spent a penny yet at the store.

I can ONLY speak of Los Angeles county, UPS store owners are NOT happy because they are making very little money at the UPS stores because of the competition and strict rules

I read the FDD. Definitely too costly for the return and too risky, even feels like you’re becoming an employee like. Yet they still listed as top 10 franchises etc. I don’t trust those top franchise listings.

How much is it for a Brownshield diaper franchise? lmao I hate UPS. The company owes me thousands of dollars in damages. I never ship with them now, even if the rates are much lower. They never pay out insurance, but they keep the money charged for insurance.

Diapers! Dang I missed the boat on the perfect Brownshield product.😞 Exact same situation years ago. Shipped a fairly large color printer to someone, packaged and marked to a T with insurance. Got destroyed in transit, looked like it had been crushed by a truck, told it was our fault so no compensation. Haven't used them since.

The most important fact to know: Small businesses and franchisees have a high failure rate. Most of them don't last past the second year. And an even scarier thought: There's a high likelihood they'll be in debt after their business shutters. Franchisors will not give you the financial nitty gritty because they make money regardless of how franchisees fare. It's like Wall Street companies, they make money from investors through transaction fees regardless of how well stocks perform.
