  Dropshipping/navigation problems, advice needed!

  Posted 10 May 11 9:09 am.

  Hi guys, I'm new to salehoo, just joined it after some much thought. However, I'm disappointed with the navigation of the directory. I don't know why when I click on just dropshipping itself, the list shows wholesalers as well. Also, when I try to search for an item , say "golf" to look for golf suppliers, other non related webpages appear like cosmetics?!! what is wrong?! and if i look for say, sporting goods, non related to sporting goods appear as well. when i visit dropshipping websites, some are easy to navigate showing you where to go for signing up for dropshipping accounts, but many others don't have any indication, do you just have to sign up for a brand new account under such websites? please kindly advise, as i'm a lost sheep!

  Each of the suppliers is checked to ensure they are who they say they are, and sell what they say they do (amongst other things).
  
  When you clicked on "dropshipping", some of the suppliers you saw were both wholesalers and dropshippers.
  
  When you searched for "golf", some of the results were suppliers who supply wide ranges of products, including golf suppliers, and cosmetic supplies.
  You can check what they claim to supply by clicking on the search result, and scrolling down to the "Products" section.
  
  If any of the suppliers aren't what they claim to be, please report them! (click on the search result, scroll to the bottom: "Report this Listing."
  
  Whilst we don't have any direct control over the suppliers' websites, if you post some examples of those with which you're having trouble, I'm sure we'll be able to help with you with them, or pass on suggestions to make the process easier for you.
  If a supplier's website requires an account, you'll probably need to sign up for it. This will be to do with their ordering process.

  Some people say... but they're wrong

  Hi a7attic,
  
  No worries, we are here to guide and help you. :)
  
  There are wholesale suppliers who can drop ship, that’s why they also show up in the filter search. When we type in a keyword in the search box, say ‘golf’, the search engine gives us suppliers with those keywords in their products, for example golf equipment, golf active wear, golf books and a cosmetics supplier may have accessories or skin products that can be used for sports/golf, or a product with golf as code name etc. I just choose ones that meet my search requirement.
  
  And yes, suppliers’ websites vary. As Jeremy has mentioned, you will encounter those which require an account, and you will just need to sign up as required in their ordering process.
  
  So, be a lost sheep no more, and let us know what products you need suppliers for. We will be more than glad to carry out a custom search of suppliers for you. :) You may post your request here at the forum, or you may send us your message thru PM (click on our profile name and send a private message) or send us an email at link hidden :)
