Sunrise Wholesale Merchandise-how is their dropship service?

Hi, I am new to SaleHoo and the whole online selling in general. I am at the point now where I am looking for any dropshipper to sell a few things to get started. I have found Sunrise Wholesale Merchandise. Although it looks pretty good, I am not sure if they can dropship to Canada which is where I live. They also said they will sell you a website already pre-loaded with their merchandise for about $50.00 per month so you can go right on eBay, Amazon, etc and start selling right away. Can you tell me a little about this? It does sound pretty good but you know the saying if it is too good to be true, it probably is, right? I just want an honest unbiased opinion!

Don't spend $50 a month on a drop shipping product site. What are you getting for your money? A domain

Hi kcb,

Sunrise Wholesale Merchandise is a good dropshipper but Frank has a good point! Such store or turnkey websites already filled with products sound attractive, but they do not necessarily provide the most profitable products to resell and we do not recommend them.

Using SaleHoo to find suppliers requires a bit more work, but you get access to genuine wholesale suppliers offering the best wholesale prices on the internet. You can purchase directly from these suppliers and use their products to sell either online or at flea markets and brick and mortar stores

We do have an upcoming product - SaleHoo Stores which is due to launch in September of this year, which may interest you, Link hidden: Login to view

All the best!

Oh, I just woke up and noticed the name of the company is in the title of the thread. It's a joke scanning their product pages, Sunrise looks like they are just reselling SMC's stuff. You'll get slaughtered - you can find the identical items on eBay, in flea markets etc. at or even below the "wholesale" prices listed on the Sunrise site. The "Gold" membership charges you $20 a month -- almost enough for an SMC membership, if I am not mistaken and you still aren't getting the SMC prices.

Add to that the fact that their shipping prices are insane -- UPS ground for 25% of the order total with a minimum charge of $8.95 ???

Seriously, I take back everything I said that implied giving any kind of a benefit of the doubt about ("value propositions" etc.) This is just a silly crap site selling crap at twice its actual wholesale price, then adding a handling fee on top of that, to whomever is gullible enough to fall for it.

Found their Link hidden: Login to view and of course, that's SMC's "World of Products" stuff.

Thanks for all the info. The Salehoo Stores sound amazing, one question: does it come with a website or do we still have to integrate our own website into the SaleHoo Store? Sorry I'm a total greenhorn! Also what dropshipper do you recommend, just to start I'm willing to sell anything. I'm good at selling I just need to find a reliable dropshipper, make some money, then stock my own stuff. Once again, I appreciate the help!

Hi kcb,

The SaleHoo Stores is the latest product being developed by SaleHoo, and it will be launched this September! It is an eCommerce software that lets you create your own website/online store. If you have an existing website, you may use your own url domain and just configure the site to point to Salehoo Stores. We'll provide instructions on how to do this. :)

Here are just some of the major strengths of our SaleHoo Stores:

* The SaleHoo Store has been search engine optimized, that means you can focus on your selling and order fulfillment tasks, and leave the SEO matters to us. The SaleHoo Stores is developed in such a way that Google and other search engines like it - with a highly organized directory of pages and easy-to-use meta data fields that make ranking for targeted keywords fast and effective. You can get your website ranking on the first page of results for targeted keywords, and be seen by potential customers and get your sales!

* You can customize it with your own logo, and you can use your own domain name (such as Link hidden: Login to view). You don't have to use an unsightly and unprofessional "www.salehoostores.sportsequipmentstore.com".

With SaleHoo Stores your Store is all your own!

* You can use a dedicated email address so that you no longer need to use your personal Gmail or Hotmail address when you process your orders - which isn't exactly professional looking! With SaleHoo Stores, your new email address will be Link hidden: Login to view. This means when customers come and buy from your Store, they know they are buying from you, and not some random, faceless eBay seller!

* You may import your eBay items easily. If you are an eBay Turbo Lister user, it will take you no time to import all your eBay listings instantly into your new store. This means you can instantly expand your audience, with no extra time taken to list your items on another platform.

Irene, Thank-you so much for the info! I was in a panic to try set up a website but now I'll wait until September! Then get my future headed in the right direction with SaleHoo!

You are most welcome kcb! :) We are looking forward to your success. :)

I just learned a LOT from this thread! Even thought it is 6 years old, I just signed up with Sunrise Wholesale about 4 months ago. I have been doing all I can to find that 'sweet spot' when it comes to pricing their products. It is almost impossible to price. Although their eBay wizard is convenient, you lose money for using it only because of how much they ask for in shipping. You'll have to have a 50% mark up just to gain a 15% profit for yourself. Seeing all of these comments was incredibly helpful and I wish I had seen them before I signed on and gave them money. I will remain loyal to SaleHoo, but doing all I can to close my relationship with Sunrise Wholesale.
Irene and fm_1234, you both were invaluable sources of information on this particular subject. Many thanks for your insights!
