So, you want to sell products online, but you do not have any products to sell? Well using a drop ship distributor is the perfect solution. Drop ship suppliers are manufacturers or distributors, who source products from multiple manufacturers or brands, and store the inventory in their warehouse. Like all wholesale suppliers, these companies will ship large pallets of products to retailers who make bulk orders. However, drop ship suppliers also allow retailers or "resellers" to place orders for single items or small order lots, and the supplier ships those products to your customers with your business name and logo on the invoice. Drop shipping companies act like your warehouse, and their product catalog is yours. This allows you to promote their products by drop shipping on eBay, Amazon, Price Grabber, or your website, without ever needing to pay in advance for products or hold any inventory. The inventory is just waiting in the drop ship supplier's warehouse and you only pay when you make a sale. The idea of working with a drop shipping company sounds great....butit?s not as easy to get started as you might think. There are fakes, scams, middlemen, and companies or people pretending to be the wholesale drop ship distributor, but in reality they are just a retail reseller like you. This means when you use sites like Doba, Shopster, or any number of middleman companies, there is someone between you and your real product source. Every level between you and the real drop ship supplier is an additional shipping cost being added on to the items, meaning you will either lose out on potential sales, or at the very least, the profits from the few sales you make. Scams are not offering products as a charity....they want to make money, so they will charge start-up fees, monthly fees, and/or markup the products that you are trying hard to sell. If you are trying to search the web for a real drop ship distributor, odds are you will come across many of these problem "suppliers" which won't be worth your time. This is why you need to use a drop ship directory. A drop ship directory is a list of wholesale drop ship suppliers. It will allow you to review the distributors, ideally browse their categories and products, and find the needed contact details and account creation steps to get started. However, many of the scam sites have already learned this trick, so while you once had resellers pretending to be the drop ship supplier, now you have the same issues with these scams pretending to create a wholesale drop ship directory. They might include a few real suppliers, and then sneak their "company" into the list. Worse, and what you might find more common, is the scam or middleman might create a list of suppliers, but instead of adding ANY value with any real drop ship sources, they just let anyone come to the site and add themselves as a supplier. If you find one of these drop ship directories, many of which still charge you money to gain access to this list, you will find dead links and get instant "access" to a list containing nothing but scams and fake middlemen websites. A real drop ship directory is a blessing for online retailers looking for a large collection of viable product sourcing options in one place, while saving them hours and hours of research on their own. Unfortunately, just as it is common to find a retail middleman pretending to be a drop ship supplier, it has become common for drop ship directories to either have no verification process before adding a supplier to their list, or worse a simple a collection of problem sites.
