Drop Shipping Companies
Has anyone ever heard about this? I was browsing through the internet and came to this website (www.doba.com). I was unsure of what drop shipping means and decided to find out more about it.
According to Wikipedia ” Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer’s orders and shipment details to the drop shipping wholesalers, who then ship the goods directly to the customer. The retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price”.
So, what does this mean? Does it mean that I can forget about wasting time hunting for suppliers and sending out countless e-mails or calling arrogant suppliers (which i dread the most)? From the looks of it, I guess it is a YES! After reading that, I went for a thorough research and found more drop shipping companies online.
I must say this is somewhat a start for me. I intend to browse through their drop shipping products after dinner tonight. It should take a while because it says they have up to 1.2 million wholesale products to sell online ranging from fashion apparel, beauty and health, bed and bath supplies, skin care, computers, and more…
There’s another website that caught my eye as well - www.alibaba.com But if i am not wrong, I think they only allow you to buy in bulks.
I will keep you informed. Hopefully by this week, I’ll be able to make up my mind on what to sell on my e-commerce store.
