Hi there,

I only found out about drop-shipping 2 weeks back when a firm asked me if I could do it because the minimum wholesale quantity I quoted her ( 8 chairs) was too high as they did not have storage. Now If a buyer only wants one item and expects us to pay for
1. manufacture,
2. shipping,
3. warehousing
4. storage
and then freight to their customer, what sort of price is fair to both parties? I have in mind a figure of $400 with us paying the freight
RRP is $600. At this price they have been selling well from my web site. Been online since 1997 and have been frandfathered in to Yahoo so I have never laid out any funds for advertising, PPC or any of that crap.

Oh BTW if you want to check out our credentials go to AliBaba.com and check us out there. You will see us shown there as a 'Trust Pass' member which means we have been checked out by an Independent Verification authority.

BTW we are still trying to recover our R & D costs after 12 years. One day maybe. :)

Cheers

Sounds like a fair price. Do you have people selling them on eBay?

It may be an opportunity for someone if not ;)
