DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! They completely scammed my dad and are costing him tens of thousands of dollars. They used products on amazon that were not approved through amazon so the whole shop had problems, not to mention they did not manage to give any return on investment. These people are the absolute worst. I don't even know how they manage to stay in business. Oh wait, it is because they will take all of you money and watch you drain your pockets so they can fill theirs.

I, along with many others who have shared similar experiences, have lost my entire investment with ARC—$35,000 gone, with no refunds provided. They will attempt to offer you a Walmart store as an alternative, but that is also a financial trap. Do not accept it. American Wholesalers, their so-called partner, contributed to the failure of my store by supplying products that were not authorized for sale. This ultimately led to my store being permanently banned after only six months. Imagine this: the ARC contract actually forbids you from posting any disparaging remarks online, and if you do, their legal team immediately threatens you to take your post down. That happened to me after I shared my experience. They told me they would stop working to reinstate my store unless I removed my review. I complied and was strung along for another year with false promises. Today, I have no Amazon store, no recovered funds—only a significant financial loss. In my opinion, this is a scam. If you’ve experienced similar losses, I strongly recommend seeking legal counsel. To those involved—Robert, Jhon, Luis, and Mario—your actions speak for themselves.

Still Awaiting Final Payment from ARC. I entered into a settlement agreement with ARC Automation in late 2024, which included a structured payout schedule through April 1, 2025. While initial payments were made, as of June 12, 2025, the final payment has not been received. I have upheld all agreed-upon terms, including removing public content per the agreement. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this directly and professionally, ARC has been unresponsive regarding the outstanding amount. I’m sharing this experience to inform others to exercise caution and ensure any agreements with ARC are upheld and enforceable. I remain open to resolving this matter amicably and will update this review if payment is received. These are factual events that have happened. When I go to ARCs website now it states "Effective April 1st, 2025, ARC Automation LLC has formally assigned all active client contracts, operational responsibilities, and support services to American Wholesalers LLC (AWL)."

BUYER BEWARE! Worst investment ever! Company recruiters will promise you the world. There is NO TRANSPERENCY when it comes to new monthly bills. I have people running a part of my business from the Phillipines. They tell you afterwards what they're suppose to be for. It took "5 MONTHS" for me to make my first sale. My first check from Walmart was sent to another bank, American Express bank. I dont have an American Express bank. When i told Arc about that, they tried to blame me and say that i put the information in wrong. One digit i can understand, even two, but every single number of that acct wasnt even close to any account I have. Someone went into my account and changed the info. Didn't even try to help me get the money back. Told me it was my fault and that money is gone. They installed Nord VPN 2 weeks after that so they could try and cover there ass, then charged me $90 to have it installed. Slow start that never really picked up. Was told they couldn't do more then that in the first 3 months. My sales have tanked after 2 months to 1-2 sales per day. This is no fluke. This was purposely done. These people assigned to run my company and who are a bunch of thieves who steal your money and don't deliver. Next step, the AG's office. SERIOUSLY CONSIDER ANOTHER COMPANY AND DEFINITELY NOT AUTOMATED RETAIL COMMERCE or AMERICAN WHOLESALERS!

100% scam. 9 months in and still no active store on Amazon. Do not invest - you've worked too hard to give these criminals your money

If you are doing your research and you have ended up here. DO NOT DO IT. Do not fall for whatever Robert says. They will try and show you numbers of people who are successful investing with them. I can only speak for myself. I invested 55k total. I paid the 35k fee for them to run the store and the rest went towards inventory. 2 years later it is ALL gone. I am the fool however for thinking this would work. They are all very nice people over zoom and charismatic. However the results are not there. Not to mention having to pay taxes on my money going in a circle. Also I almost got sued by a third party. If you are looking for passive income and somewhere to invest your money go somewhere else. Go into real estate. THIS DOES NOT WORK.

Robert Miller, Jhon Collado and ARC disappeared without fulfilling their obligations. After the huge sum paid, they just disappeared without notice. If you paid ARC + AWL and feel that the information provided in their marketing presentations did not match the actual operation or service that was delivered, you can file a complaint with FBI IC3, FTC, Florida AG, Texas AG and California AG. If enough people file complaints, it'll help them see the trend and hopefully kickoff an investigation.

This has been the worst financial decision I have ever made. I did the initial $45k investment. I began in July of 2024. In march 2025 my store was deactivated. A reason mentioned by Amazon was for certain goods purchased. After reading other reviews, my store spiraled down the same path that I’m sure getting my store back with Amazon will be unsuccessful. I have lost an additional $6k and called it quits before going even deeper in debt. When I zoomed , as other reviews read, I was then offered the Walmart route. Before I chanced losing even more, I didn’t pursue it. When I told them I wanted out, their immediate response after me declining Walmart was, “ I was just told earlier today there would be no refunds”. Way to go ARC for taking my hard earned money, and failing my store. I now have to turn to seek legal advice/direction unless they work with me on reimbursing me some of my loss. Will keep you posted …..
