What is dropshipping? 📦

according to WIKIPEDIA: Drop shipping is a form of retail business wherein the seller accepts customer orders but does not keep goods sold in stock. Instead, in a form of supply chain management, it transfers the orders and their shipment details to either the manufacturer, a wholesaler, another retailer, or a fulfillment house, which then ships the goods directly to the customer

How does dropshipping works 📦

(a) A customer orders products from your business {digital goods} eg clothes.

(b) You pass the order or products information to your supplier which is the owner of the physical goods..

(c) The purchase receipt , the supplier charges you a price for the product sold, usually wholesale price.. plus a dropshipping fee. then the supplier and his worker will package the physical products and send 📩 it to the customer address.

What are the benefits of dropshipping?

Dropshipping eliminates the need to keep tracks on products, freeing your business from the (time, labor and money) costs of production or organizing products yourself and maintaining your own warehouse property to store them. Even if you only dropship some of your products, you’ll be freeing up resources for the items that need extra attention. It even allows you to offer items that would normally be impossible to ship due to your location’s limitations, like extremely large or perishable goods. You can be based anywhere in the world, and your items will still reach customers!

What are the benefits of dropshiper or supplier?

If you’re sold on the idea of dropshipping but you have no idea where to begin, the internet can be a good starting point — but it’s not quite as easy as typing “dropshipping” into a search engine. Most dropshippers do the majority of their business with other businesses like yours, which means they operate as Business to Business (B2B) companies, not Business to Consumer. B2B companies have different strategies for attracting and converting their audience, and it usually takes the form of building personal relationships and leveraging one-on-one interactions in person or over the phone. That means they won’t necessarily appear at the top of the search results, or even close to the top, because they’re not channeling their resources toward SEO or consumer marketing.

To get the best results, then, you’ll have to go a little deeper. Start by expanding your search to include other vocabulary: try words like “wholesale”, “distributor”, “bulk”, “reseller”, “warehouse”, “manufacturer,” “fulfillment house” and “supplier.” You can also combine those terms with the particular goods or types of goods you wish to sell. (It’s very useful to know your niche prior to searching, since different dropshippers specialize in different industries.)

You can also find dropshipping aggregators online, either in the form of comparison lists and blog articles, or though companies whose purpose is to help you find the perfect dropshipper for your business. These can be free or paid resources, but just as with the dropshipper itself, do your homework to ensure the aggregator is honest, reliable and reputable in the field. In the past, many Volusion merchants have worked with dropshippers that have built-in “aggregation” tools, such as Doba and Kole Imports.

Of course, you don’t have to limit your search to the internet; another option is to contact the manufacturer of your desired goods directly. Most manufacturers can provide you with a list of dropshippers that carry their products, and they are perfectly willing to give you their opinion. This small, extra bit of legwork can be just enough to separate yourself from the people who are all dropshipping the same products. And who knows, you may get an even better deal from the manufacturer themselves!

How do I choose the best dropshippers for my business?

You’ve narrowed down a list of dropshippers to choose from — but how to choose? First, remember that the dropshipping model is flexible enough so that you can use different dropshippers for different products, depending on where their strengths are. However, it’s often a better idea to keep your list of trusted dropshippers small, so that you can develop strong relationships and have open communication with your suppliers. When you’re choosing your dropshippers, keep a solid idea of what you want your business to look like in your head, including the purchase order process. This will help you analyze different factors, such as:

What goods do they provide, and at what cost? Are there additional fees? Payment options? If you crunch the numbers and they don’t work out in your favor, the decision will be quick.

How long have they been in business? A veteran dropshipper is usually preferable, one with a record of trustworthy and safe shipments (and happy customers) going back a decade or more.

Who do they ship with? If they use a particular shipping provider, is it well known? Capable? Can they ship to everywhere in your target area? Do they have limitations on the type of goods they can ship?

Who else do they ship for? Are you using the same service as your competitors? (This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, if you believe you can out-compete them elsewhere.) Would you be their largest client? Smallest? Somewhere in the middle is preferable, so the dropshipper isn’t stretching out of their comfort zone to meet your needs.

What customization do they offer for shipping? Can you put your branding on the box? Can you add coupon codes, marketing collateral, or contact info? Do they send order notification emails? What is their return policy?

As you do your research, keep in mind that you don’t need to stick to asking your questions to the dropshipper — ask their customers! See if you can find reviews on the internet, in forums, on social media, or ask them for references directly. Take it all with a grain of salt, and decide for yourself if their most glowing or devastating feedback is the real deal or if they lie somewhere in between, and how closely that matches what you are looking for.
