The Advantages Of Drop Shipping.

Because a warehousing company can buy in huge volumes, they will also be able to offer you the best prices on products and shipping, which will return a greater profit to you.

There's no capital investment and no need to invest in inventory.

Using Dropshipping! allows you great flexibility in terms of product range - promote a dozen items or promote a thousand!

Instead of worrying about inventory and delivery, you get to focus on listening to the market and discovering the products your visitors you want.

What Do I Need to Know to Select a Dropshipping!

Many companies will have an interest in teaming up with you in a Dropshipping! arrangement as it's an easy way for them to generate extra revenue, but there's a number of points to consider and things to look out for:

Pricing Points

Don't accept that the first drop shipper you come across unless they are willing to provide you a "Best Price Guarantee."

Drop Ship Fees and Charges

Some companies will have a handling fee over and above freight costs - it's important to know all the costs involved so you can calculate your profit margins accurately.

Shipping

You'll want to be sure that their shipping methods will ensure your clients recieve their orders in one piece. Make sure to check there shipping policy.

Payment

It couldn't be simpler, the customer pays you first and then you pay your Dropshipping!

Support, Returns, and Refunds

The last thing you'll want is to be caught up in a nasty situation where you have a number of returns - and have to cover the bill. Ask the drop shipping company about their return policy, what kind of support they'll offer you for their products and about any guarantees associated with their products - and get it in writing.

Credibility

How long has the company been around for? Do they respond to your requests for information rapidly and professionally? Young companies have the habit of going belly up quickly, or growing too rapidly and as a consequence basic good customer service suffers.
