I had this really interesting search term “did society6 get bought by amazon” for my blog during January 2019 and I thought it might be funny to investigate a bit.
To be honest, and to not put too many of your hopes into that: I did not find anything that REALLY clarifies this situation but I do not believe in it. Why would Amazon buy an Asian company (Spoilers: That assumption is a mistake!) when they already have Amazon Merch?
Here are some interesting finds though, reading them was worth my while:
- Society6 Reviews on Trustpilot are not as good as one might expect
My two orders so far haven’t been a success story either. I am not sure I would buy from them again… Mugs arrived as puzzle and the custom fees are HIGH. -
Amazon counterfeiters wreak havoc on artists and small businesses is an article on CNBC and explains it all brilliantly! #stopimagetheft
- The Amazon.com Seller Profile of Society6 makes me also question whether I should still sell my photos on their products…
- Does Societ6 belong to the Leaf Group? This will need some more clarification from my point of view…. Oh yes, it does. So not an Asian company? Who would have guessed…
- This is probably the most detailled Society6 review by one person and another surprise: Society6 is based in Santa Monica.
