Solved: Re: Can anybody recommend a few drop shippers?

GregSticker · ‎10-02-2020

I am looking for a few good recommendations for drop shipping companies that will not make me order a pallet of merchandise if some customer orders just one or two items.

I just set up an account here so I can create an online store that sells every day home items like dishes, or small appliances like electric can openers. I have an idea to sell other home items like lamps for living rooms and bed and bath accessories. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. It is most helpful. Let me say that before the covid19 pandemic I was a restaurant kitchen worker and toyed with the idea of starting an e commerce business. I now find much more time on my hand and am willing to give it another go. I realize I will not make a ton of money. But I am looking at this as a fun hobby to do. If I make a few bucks then great! That being said, I carefully read your advice and it makes a lot of good old common sense. I intend to heed your advice. Thanks so much.

Hi, a good drop shipping company is hard to find and many sellers will not reveal their sources. Too many people search Google and see hundreds of third party sellers. A reputable source will not have "drop shipping" or "drop shipper" in their name. Many are "hidden" in how they present themselves. For your niche you would need to think outside the box and search different terms such consultant , authorized consultant or review their footers for wholesale distributor. Most reputable sources will not charge a monthly access fee, a per order fee or limit quantity. Most will require a business license or sales ID to ensure you a serious business, you can search online for your state. Also, you can search YouTube for more information. Please be aware of "buying programs", you can find nearly all the information you need online. If you do your homework, you can find an awesome product to sell for many years to come. Good Luck!

Hope This Helps!
