Freelancers you can TRUST

I have been using Fivesquid for a couple of years now. This is the easiest way to get my projects done. Outsourcing your weakness can save you and your company a lot of valuable time and help you focus on your strengths. The pricing is super reasonable considering there are people from all over the world competing for your money / attention. You can build long term relationships and get pricing down if you continue to work with sellers. I was looking for a professional and expert who can help me out with my WP store design and to make it high responsive. I lost money before i met this freelancer on Fivesquid who help me out on everything. Fivesquid freelancers are professional and delivers fast. You can trust him.

horrible support, website and time for approval of job.

I had a lot of trouble navigating and finding how to place an order. The support was useless, almost as if we were navigating different platforms. I finally placed an order after the seller sent me a link to where I could place an order. I had to place 3 orders to make up for the amount of the quote. The seller provided a very generic design, did not observe any of the information I had provided and after I complained he said he would re do it. navigating was so difficult that I did not come across any "request change"button mentioned by support and the order was closed as completed. I can use the design provided. Support is bad, website is no user friendly, and you have only 3 days to approve or disapprove a job.

Much better than fiverr

Much better than fiverr plus they're English. I use them a lot and find them excellent. I had someone who ssid hed rebuild my shopify store i paid him £200 after three weeks i cancelled as he was so useless and tje money was credited to my account immediately. A lot of questionable nigerians on there who try to whatsapp or fb ypu but some great freelancers on there .. top marks

Good first order, will use again.

I've just completed my first order with fivesquid - the seller was excellent and no problem with the website service. However, every email from fivesquid, so far, has landed in my spam folder (outlook.com), which gave me some pause for thought - but everything seems ok so far.

Hello Christopher, and many thanks for your kind review. Regarding the issue of email notifications going straight to your spam folder, we are aware that this is an issue with some email domains, such as Outlook. Please ensure that support@fivesquid.com is added to your safe sender list, and this should prevent any future emails from going to your spam mail.

I keep using Fivesquid coz they're great…

I've used Fivesquid loads of times over the past four or more years and they're great. The technology to communicate with supplier round the globe is really easy to use and the suppliers have all been fab (with one exception but that got amicably resolved with help from Fivesquid).
So you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain from having a huge team of outsourcing suppliers ready to take your order.

Hello Steve,

We're very sorry to hear that the seller with whom you placed your order failed to deliver your order. If you requested cancellation via your order page, then your payment will have automatically been credited to your fivesquid balance for use on future orders. This won't have included the admin fee as you would not be charged the admin fee again on any subsequent orders placed and paid for using your balance. You can also request a full refund to your original source of payment simply by contacting our customer support team via the site.

Please contact our support team with details of your order, and they will be happy to refund your balance to your original source of payment. They will also take action against the seller concerned for failing to respond to your order.

Kind regards,

The fivesquid team

Absolutely love this site

Absolutely love this site. Starting out on Shopify & just used for my first "gig". I am so impressed. It's so easy to use in just plain language anyone can understand. I'm going to use it for everything. It's full of helpful tips & advice. A MILLION times better than Fiverr especially for UK users. Amazing.
