scam after looking up the barcodes I bought from them on the GS1 directory I found them to be registered to different companies and people so they don't even own the barcodes

Speedy Barcodes is not a scam, you just need to understand what we do. We are a barcode reseller. Anyone that sells barcode numbers outside of GS1 is a barcode reseller. The barcodes we sell are old barcodes that we can buy and sell due to a class action lawsuit that happened against the UCC in 2002. The UCC has been known as GS1 since 2005. The reason the class action lawsuit happened is because barcodes used to be sold outright and in 2002 the UCC decided to try to license all old barcodes that were sold to gain yearly income from the barcodes that they had previously sold. GS1 is a Non-Profit company that lists barcodes in their public company database that they have sold in the past plus the numbers that they are now licensing to everyone today. GS1 has large companies like Walmart, Kroger, Macy’s, Home Depot who sit on GS1’s Board and demand that you get your barcodes directly from GS1 to do business with them. All this information is disclosed on our website. Here are some of the references. https://speedybarcodes.com/knowledge/content/common/upload If I buy barcodes from Speedy Barcodes, will you upload my name and company information into GS1’s database? No. GS1 is a company, not a government agency. They will not allow a different company to upload or update information to their database. If you plan to work with a retailer that requires your name to appear in GS1’s database, then you must obtain your barcode numbers directly from GS1. https://speedybarcodes.com/knowledge/content/common/gs1 Is GS1 a government agency or are they in charge of all barcode numbers? The answer to both of those questions is no. GS1 is a company, just like we are. The difference is they are nonprofit and Speedy Barcodes is not. There is no government agency in charge of barcodes. https://speedybarcodes.com/knowledge/content/common/affiliated Is Speedy Barcodes affiliated with GS1? No, we are not. GS1 is a different company. All the barcodes we sell originated from the UCC, which is what GS1 was previously known as, but if you buy barcode numbers from Speedy Barcodes, your name will not show up in GS1’s GEPIR database. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding you have about what we do and the barcodes we sell. Thank you, Speedy Barcodes

First, I want to apologize for not responding to your review in a timely manner. I know that the review / complaint is extremely old. We are currently under new management and our goal is to make all wrongs, right. To start, please let us know who you are by giving us any one of the following: Order Number, Account Number or ID, or exact name on account and date purchased. We will look up your account and refund your money, immediately, that caused you to write this bad, substandard review. Second, you may keep the Barcodes that you purchased and had problems with, and we will also send you twice as many Barcode Numbers that you purchased originally, which you may or may not be able to use, to show good faith. Third, I would like to answer the problem that you had. Because of Amazon’s policies, the barcode numbers that we sell are sometimes not accepted by Amazon, as written on our website. Unfortunately, you may have missed this information on our website and that is why we are going to refund your money, and let you keep your old numbers, which will be accepted and used in 99% of retail stores, and give you additional barcode numbers, which you may or may not need or use. Sometimes, if you try to add new items on Amazon, on a different date, with different Barcode Numbers, and a different customer service representative, they might be accepted. Meanwhile, we are trying to make your wronged, current situation, right. After we fix everything, we hope you can find it in your heart to change your review accordingly, if you feel that we deserve it.

DOESN'T WORK FOR AMAZON. They give the impression that their codes work for selling platform in general, Amazon is one of them, as per their blog, part of one subject on their website ..."If you are a smaller business or need barcodes for a specific purpose such as selling through an online service such as Amazon, then a specialty barcode service such as Speedy Barcodes is your best bet. Learning how to buy a UPC code can make all the difference in the quality of the product that you receive. Barcodes can be purchased through Speedy Barcodes one at a time, or in lots to suit your needs. The cost would be much less than obtaining codes through GS1, and there aren’t yearly renewal fees."

Tried to use barcode for an Amazon listing and it didn't work. Emailed them for support but got a substantial list of questions which seems to me like they are trying to avoid to help. Not a happy camper!! Waste of money!!

SCAM!! These guys are big time scammers as they clearly don't stand their word. On the website it says "proof of ownership. It will show that Speedy Barcodes has transferred ownership of the barcodes you purchased from us to you or your company." but when you receive it it says "Speedybarcode allow you to use these barcodes". Tried calling support and the representative said "I'm trying to be nice and I don't wanna yell at you". That's how unprofessional these guys are. Don't buy from them save your money.
