Drop Shipping With China Wholesale Products

Drop-Shipping With China Wholesale Products


Drop-shipping is a practice of selling a product that you don't actually have in your hand. It's the new face of e-marketing and distribution in today's e-commerce-driven market.

Here is what you do if you are a drop-ship seller of China wholesale products:

1. You research good products to sell. You do the research to locate a good supplier with drop-shipping facility and establish a buyer relationship.

2. Next you advertise their products to your prospects, to your shop's customers, to your online auction viewers, in a magazine, etc just as you would market your own products.

3. You receive and process orders for the products from the customers, and take their payment.

4. You use this payment and then go to the supplier of the China products and buy directly from them.

5. The supplier sends the goods directly to the customer without you having to handle the products or any stock.

6. For an extra fee many drop-ship suppliers will also brand the packaging and invoices with your name/logo so it looks to the end customer like the goods have been dispatched from the same exact company that they ordered from.

Drop-shipping is a classic exploitation of ecommerce online, because customers don't expect to see the goods when they order. If you walk into a normal shop and the shopkeeper asks you to put money down for goods which aren't even there, you would be quite suspicious. However, it's different online. Online, the source of the goods is not quite so clear, so buyers are happy to send you money for products which in fact you need to source from somewhere else.

The obvious advantage of drop-ship selling is that you can make profits selling any sorts of easily deliverable goods, without having to take the risk of investing in stock, and without the costs and hassles associated with packing and delivering goods. Your selling business could also be very scalable, going from a few orders to a few hundred without significantly increasing your workload or operating costs.

Drop-shipping is a very efficiency and cost-effective method of distribution. The seller concentrates on marketing and promoting the product, while the drop-shipper provide the distribution and even after-sales support.

However, there is more complexity to drop-shipping than meets the eye, and since it's so easy to start up a drop-shipping business you need to be aware of some of the risks and downsides before you plunge in.

So, is drop-shipping for you? Drop-ship selling can be a great way to make good profits from a small and fast start-up business idea. It can also potentially bring good value to your customers, because although you are marking up the cost of the goods for your 'middle-man' profit, you may be bringing your market products which they otherwise can't obtain or didn't know about. You could also be adding value to the buyer's experience by creating good product combinations, making ordering easier and more secure, improving product information and customer support, and assisting with import issues.

But, drop-shipping may not be a simple thing for all. Many people are succeeding at it, but you need to have a reasonable business common sense and be aware of the potential difficulties you will face. There are many aspects to consider before you embark on such an enterprise. Do you research. It will save you many headaches.
