Why do I need drop shipping ?
If you do not plan on carrying inventory or setting up warehouses
for your retail business, then drop shipping can be a key part of
your business.
Should
my customers pay me first before I pay the drop shipper?
It is always good practice to have the customers pay you first before
placing your wholesale drop ship order. Otherwise you risk shipping
product to a customer that will not pay you. Then you will be stuck
with the bill from the drop shipper!
.
Do
drop shippers offer any exclusives on products?
Many will often entertain the idea of giving you an exclusive right
to a product they carry. In most cases, you will be required to
sell a minimum monthly amount (often in the thousands) of that product
to get the exclusive rights.
How
soon can I start making money with drop shipping?
Much of this will depend on how well you have put together things
in your business plan and on your website. Simply having products
to sell on the Web usually will not make money without a solid strategy
and marketing plan in place.
How
many drop shippers do I need for my business?
That is entirely up to you. In the case of an import wholesale drop
shipper or a closeout merchandise drop shipper, you might want to
have at least a couple. In some cases, there are import drop shippers
that sometimes carry similar products. They are both getting it
from the same manufacturer overseas. If you have a particular product
carried by a couple of import drop shippers, it is a good idea to
use both of them as one of them may run out of the item. This insures
you can possibly get it from the second drop shipper as they might
still have the product in stock.
