Drop Ship Services

Kb Lim asked:


A lot of ebay sellers have had success with dropshipping. If you have not heard of dropshipping, it is a business term used in a situation where the dropshipping company agreed on a set price, handle the inventory, does the shipping and labelling and collects the payment. However the dropshipping company do not sell, rather it has a network of sellers who does the selling. The dropshipping company is only in charge of fulfilling the orders.

Dropshipping is every eBay seller’s dream. Since you do not need to deal with the hassle of maintaining stock and shipping, you only need to list the auctions which the dropshipping company sells.

Most dropshipping companies will charge you near a wholesale price and you are free to charge whatever price suits you.

Though dropshipping sounds great, they are some pitfalls you should aware of. Here are some tips to keep in mind when dropshipping:

1) Who your customer belongs to?

Even though all the shipping, inventory and labelling is not done by you, you are still your customer’s point of contact. That means if there’s any issue arising whether from faulty product or none delivery of items, your customers will contact you and you should then try to resolve it with the dropshipping company.

2) Reputation of dropshipping company

You should do your due diligence and find out more about the dropshipping company you are doing business with. There are a lot of scammers out there who takes your money and don’t fulfill orders or send out very poor quality products. You can visit the Better Business Bureau at http://www.BBB.org to seek for more information about the company you are doing dropshipping with

3) Paying before droppshipping

Beware of companies that claim you have to pay a fee to access their product catalogues. A legitimate dropshipping company will not charge you a fee for this.

4) Delivery times

Most negative feedback that occurred on ebay are due to shipping problems. Whether an item was not delivered or delivered late. Therefore, it is important for you to inquire the delivery turnaround for each region, the cost. Also be sure to ask whether a tracking number for each delivered item is available. This will allow you and your customer to track the item.

5) Dropshipping quantities

There should not a minimum quantity to order. It’s ok if the dropshipping company offers a discount if you purchase larger quantities. But they should be able to handle orders regardless of the quantity of items

The crux of dropshipping is to buy low, sell high so that you can make a profit. If it’s too much trouble for you, you can use ebay consignment centers where they will sell you help your items.

Some of the online businesses require products to be sent to the business owner, but it is generally done at another location so the business owner doesn’t have to keep merchandise at their house. There are various ways of selling products on the Internet today. One of the most successful ways is drop shipping. Today there are probably over a thousand companies you can use in the drop shipping business. The largest business online that uses drop shipping is ebay. Ebay is one of the best ways to get started in a online business.

Purchases made online are brought right to their door. With all the technology today, you can sell products, to the customer without ever touching any merchandise. The purchase comes in to the website, and the warehouse is sent a purchase order. The product is shipped to the customer making the order.

Brad Beiermann asked:


It is stunning to see the level of debt Americans have racked up. The annual savings rate per person across the country is less than zero! According to the Federal Reserve, the savings rate has only been negative for a full year twice before, in 1932 and 1933, when Americans were struggling with job layoffs during the Great Depression. Consumer borrowing is out of control. The number of people filing bankruptcy each year has reached all-time highs. The question many are asking is this, “How can I get out of debt?”

Is this obvious to you?

Let’s state the obvious: The very cause of debt is overspending. Saving more money does not fix the problem, but it can help. Earning more money does not fix the problem, but it can help. Most debt managers and counselors focus heavily on ways to reduce spending. The results are often mixed. Many financial institutions offer investment products. For the majority of society that does not save money, these products do not work. Think about it for a moment. If nobody is saving money, then there is nothing left to put into a mutual fund, IRA, or other banking investment product. These products work great for a society that saves money consistently. Clearly, that is not the society America lives in today.

Taking a different direction…

For this article, we are going to take things into a different direction. We are going to focus on prosperity thinking. We are a society that likes to spend, and that is the basis of our commerce. Prosperity thinking does not discourage spending. Rather, it refocuses our spending. It makes us think about spending money on things that will get us more income. The same thing that has brought our society into debt (i.e. spending) is also the same thing that can get us out of debt. To get different results, you have to change your focus. You have to ask yourself a different set of questions. The questions are simple:

How can I create more income?

What can I do to increase my cash flow?

How can I reduce my debt liabilities?

How do I create money generating assets?

What are my financial goals?

As many folks have started to think about the possible answers to these questions, some have already taken action. Their answer came in the form of starting a small inexpensive business online. They used their little online business to pay off their debts. Their goal was simple: Get out of debt. The results have been surprising. Let’s take a look at what these people are doing in a real world example…

While we are a country in debt, we are also a country of free enterprise. By exercising that freedom, each one of us is free to start a money making business. If this scares you or make you feel uncomfortable, get over it. No kidding. Not being able to pay your bills to survive is far scarier. Being in deep massive debt can destroy your life. Starting a little business can be the first step in adding a financial destiny to your life. I recently spoke to a customer of ours who had over $34,000 in credit card debt. It was more than an entire year’s worth of income on her current job. Within one year she pretty much wiped out the debt. I was impressed. Here is how this open minded lady did it.

1. She heard about people selling things online and making money. So, she contacted the Secretary of State’s office and incorporated a business to get started.

2. She got a merchant account to accept credit card purchases.

3. Her next stop was to search for products to sell. She found a wholesale manufacturer that offered single item drop shipping. This meant she did not have to buy inventory.

4. Next, she started a little do-it-yourself-no-geek-computer-skills-needed website with her new company name and a few pages describing her business. Her business?…She sold ballet dancing accessories.

5. She spent time in the book store studying online marketing techniques and gradually began to get customers on her little website.

In total, she had spent a little over $400 in getting the business started. In her first year she made $58,000 in sales and netted a profit over fifty percent. She took that money and paid on the majority of the credit card debt. She said, “Normally I would have taken that $400 and spent it on something I didn’t need…like another handbag.” In short, she made money by converting her spending habits. She spent money on an asset (online business), versus a liability (handbag). Notice how this did not involve saving money or buying mutual funds? It involved spending and prosperity thinking.

A Drop Shipping cash flow?

She said the drop shipper really made things easy for her. She did not have to spend money on product inventory. Each time she received an order on her website, she worked with the drop shipper to get the product sent to her customer. This process kept repeating as orders came in. Over a period of time, a significant flow of cash started to happen for her stockless retail business. She achieved her goal.

Always remember…

You become what you study. If you study chemistry, you can be a chemist. If you study music, you can be a musician. If you study prosperity, you can be prosperous.
