Hello All,
Will anybody give a newcomer some advice about dropshipping.
Im 19 years old and am seriously interested in starting a part time business.
I want to sell electronical accessories, but my main question is when I build my own website will I be able to use the suppliers product information for my site.
Any other advice about dropshipping will be much appreciated.
Thankyou
Hi,
I am also young and relatively new to the business, but I have had some experience with dropshipping.
Here is what I've learned.
1. Dropshipping is good for finding and testing out potential niche products, but wholesale gives you better products. It is very hard to compete with other websites and ebay businesses due to drop ship fees without wholesale prices.
2. Always test out a dropshipper before using them. I avoided a potentially big problem by doing this. I found a dropshipper, Ifuncity, that seemed to have good prices, offered free shipping and no dropship fees. They even had good reviews on salehoo. I tried to test them out and I didn't recieve the product for over 2 and a half weeks. It was poor quality as well. So always test out a dropshipper before using them.
3. You will be able to use supplier product information and pictures for a majority of dropshippers, although some will not allow it.
