So You Want To Dropship?
There are many advantages to dropshipping when it comes to online sales:
* No out of pocket costs for your inventory, because you don't order the product until it is sold and paid for by your buyer
* Because you don't have piles of “stuff” stockpiled, your business is risk free.
* No warehousing, stocking or filled garages
* Huge inventory – multiple dropshippers
Sounds great, right? But, back to our original question: are all dropshippers honest and reliable? Well, naturally not. Might be honest but unreliable. So what can you do to figure out if you are dealing with an honest one. Here are some ways:
* Contact the BBB and other online agencies
* Ask a long list of penetrating questions
* Insist on references
* Check the Ses and other sources for information about the company
* Check forums and bulletin boards
This isn't an exhaustive list, but it does give you the idea.
And speaking of exhausting ... just the thought of doing all that makes you tired, huh? Me, too. That's why I deal with the Dropship Source Directory. With their full time research staff, they've done all that for us, in advance. Wahoo!
