Dropshippers offering FREE shipping - Wanted!

Hi, are there any suppliers that offers free shipping? I'm from Norway, so I will have to pay customs for anything over 34 USD.
So if i order something for 30 USD it will cost about 27 USD for shipping, and then I will have to pay customs, and there wont be much profit left :)

Help appreciated :)

Hi, I am looking for electronics, gadgets, and Asian Antiques.
Thanks for helping me out :)

Hi there,

There is two issues with this.

1) Free shipping offered by suppliers at the moment is generally 25 - 35 Days after your order has been processed then dispatched. If you are drop shipping don't consider this option as i would not expect my customers to wait this long.

2) Please note that even though suppliers are covering the cost of free delivery, customs will still add that cost to the price you paid for the product.

My best bet is that if you are restrained by limits set by your countries customs, Talk to your suppliers to see the amount which they cover for free shipping. This way you can better determine if free shipping plus product is going to get red flagged.

Alot of traders do not realize this and constantly get caught out and have their items seize until certain fees are paid. Also make sure the type of product you are looking at does not have stamp duty of any kind.

Free fee to PM me anytime

Kind Regards

Hi Ms. Richellemonfort.

Does those dropshippers require a membership fees? or I just need to register for free with them.

Tell me please how this system works.

And what kind of products do you recommend me to start with as a beginner.

I am looking for the lowest profit.

Please I need your help I am so depressed in my life I need to overcome my disability and behave like a normal man who is able to bring some food on the table for his family.

Thanks again and God Bless.

Hello again CASH333,

Some of the dropshippers especially those based in China may not require any additional fees, but may require you to register with them.

Usually US based dropshippers are a bit more "strict" when it comes to opening accounts, like they may require that you have a resellers/sales tax ID to open an account with them.

The best thing I would suggest is to browse through the list of dropshippers and see which one has the products you are interested in so you can contact the drophipper and inquire how you can start dropshipping their products.

I recommend downloading your copy of our Dropship Handbook to help you with the ins and outs of dropshipping. To download your copy please go to Link hidden: Login to view It's the first one on top of the page.

Hope this helps :) Please feel free to let us know if we can help you with anything else.

All the best!

How can i get this resellers/sales tax ID to open an account with the dropshippers?

Again Ms. Richellemonfort as I told you that I am a beginner at this business I swear to god I dont know any information about it so i dont know from where to start.

Please I am asking your experience and kindness to tell me what kind of products should I start with.

Just give me a list with some profitable hot selling products and based on your list I will check with those dropshippers.

Thank you so much and God Bless.

Hello again CASH333,

Where are you located so we can try and provide you the correct info regarding how you can get your own resellers ID.

The first thing we suggest you do is decide what type of products you want to sell. Generally it's best to start selling something you are interested in because you are going to be spending a LOT of time thinking about it! Do you love fashion or movies? Perhaps you feel excited about the thought of new gadgets and technology? It's likely that there are plenty of other people who also share your interest - giving you an instant audience for your product. One idea is to jot down your interests and then make a list of products that are related to these interests (we recommend staying away from electronics to begin with as warranty issues can be complicated to manage).

Once you've thought of a couple of ideas, it's time to start researching suppliers. This is where SaleHoo comes in. Use the search box to look for the product(s) you want to sell. When you've found some suppliers who fit the bill, send them an email asking what the best possible price is that they can give you for the products you wish to buy. A small tip for you: if you buy 20+ units at a time, you should be able to negotiate a better deal. It's also a good idea to contact more than 1 supplier before you start buying to compare prices.

Please understand that what may sell well in one location may not necessarily sell well in your location or market, this is one of the reasons we encourage you and all our members to due your due diligence at all times. Please feel free to check out our Monday Market of the Week Blogs where we feature 1 niche every week.

All the best!

Hi Ms.Richelle

I live in Baltimore Maryland.

So tell me the correct info regarding how can i get my own Resellers ID?

Thanks

Hello CASH333,

Your county, Baltimore does not require sales tax but your State, Maryland does and states that -

If you will make sales in Maryland, you will need to obtain a sales and use tax license. To obtain one, complete a Link hidden: Login to view. The application provides a one-stop method for registering a variety of tax accounts, including the sales and use tax license.

The Maryland sales and use tax rate is 6 percent on all taxable sales other than certain vehicle rentals and sales of mobile homes. Most sales of food by substantial grocery or market businesses are not subject to tax. Other exemptions include medicine, energy for residential use, manufacturing machinery and equipment, and certain agricultural equipment and supplies.

It might be best that you get in touch with your county clerk for more help with your application.

resellers/sales tax ID to open an account .

HOw about singapore , do it need ??

Hello bsystem,

You can provide the equivalent. In Singapore you have the GST, so if a US based supplier/dropshipper will require a sales ta ID you can give them your GST number. Sometimes telling the supplier that you are not based in the US will do.

Hope this helps!

We do not offer free shipping, but we have many sales going to that area as clothing in that region through our dropshippers.

hola a todos también soy nueva en esto y no he podido encontrar dropshipping que tengan envios gratis a todo el mundo yo soy de méxico me he topado con la limitante del lenguaje al contactar algunos dropshipping, y tambien me he topado con un margen menor de ganacias que dan los dropshipping desde un 5%, lo cual ellos son mis competidores, alguen me puede ayudar

I would personally be extremely sceptical of any supplier telling me they were offering FREE SHIPPING. It's just a fact, it costs money to ship items. Can you imagine a supplier asking the Post Office if they could offer Free Shipping?

That's not going to happen, so why expect a supplier to cover the cost they have to pay for shipping your order to your customer?

As they say, there is no such thing as a free lunch and whenever you do see some Free Shipping offer being made by a supplier, you can be sure the cost of shipping that item has been hidden in the price somewhere to cover their loss.

In regards to small profit margins on Drop-Shipped products, that's extremely common. While Drop-Shipping offers certain advantages, good profit margins usually aren't one of them. That's more an advantage of Wholesale, being rewarded for spending more money upfront and taking the risk.

Drop-Shipping is about eliminating the risk and therefore, the rewards in regards to profit margin aren't there. There are also multiple other factors that impact on Drop-shipping margins, but I have gone into those many times before, so I won't expand on those now.

The biggest profit margins you will usually find on Drop-shipped items are from manufacturers who offer Drop-Shipping accounts. They can offer larger margins on their products because there is no middlemen operation taking their slice before it gets to you.

The more links in the chain you can eliminate between you and the actual product manufacturer, the more chance of getting a much better profit margin on the product.

Of course, not every manufacturer offers Drop-shipping directly to the general public, so it's not always possible to get too close to the source. What you will find is that manufacturers who do offer Drop-Shipping accounts are usually smaller boutique suppliers.

Offering Drop-Ship accounts to the general public can be a great opportunity for boutique product suppliers. In essence, it is a way for them to hire their own sales team on 100% commission. Let's face it, that is essentially what Drop-shipping is all about.

The benefit for the manufacturer is that they get a sales team working for them on commission, so no financial risk and no cash outlay. The benefit for the actually Drop-shipper themselves is that they are given the opportunity to make money.

So in the right circumstance, it can be a very beneficial outcome for both parties.
