Drop shipping can save you lot’s money and time.
These companies usually have a warehouse full of products and allow you to sell their products without having to invest thousands of dollars for products, leaving you enough capital for advertising, marketing and working capital.
Most often you can establish an account by furnishing them with your business name if you have one, Tax ID or Resale number and by giving them a credit card or establishing some type of arrangement so you can pay them at the end of each month, a net 30.
Drop ship companies are designed to process all your orders and ship direct to your customers from their location leaving you more time to concentrate on:
- Marketing
- Relationship Building
- And, growing your business
Make sure you select a reputable company though, there are many drop shippers portraying them selves as legitimate drop shippers which can eat into your profits. And, watch out for companies trying to sell you a whole lot of products, you just don’t have to anymore.
A good way to locate a drop shipper is through trade magazines, trade publications or in newspapers and by visiting web sites that can direct you to drop shippers.
Be sure to ask these questions:
- Do they offer wholesale pricing?
- Do they charge a handling fee? And, how much?
- How do they deal with product returns?
- Can they confirm orders?
Good drop shippers will help you market their products and if you simply ask for some type of marketing tools which they can supply you with, such as; descriptions, images literature and maybe even a web site will help you in the long run.
Finally, make sure you don’t offer to many products from different drop shippers, because if you aren’t willing to eat the cost for shipping multiple products from different suppliers, how can you expect your customers to pay for all those shipping costs they incur.
