Why ShopClues Failed? Authenticity Issues: ShopClues aimed to provide urban products to rural & suburban customers, but complaints about counterfeit items damaged trust & hurt the brand’s reputation, undermining their good intentions. Quality Concerns: ShopClues faced backlash not only for counterfeit products but also for poor quality. Despite offering discounts, customers were disappointed with subpar items. Common issues included scams, delayed deliveries, & refund difficulties, exacerbated by unhelpful or poor customer support.
