I want to make an income quickly and get started quickly does anyone have experience in this I do have some experience in affiliate marketing.I have seen drop shippers online that claim you can make sales on ebay. Does anyone know of a good drop shipping company?

The good drop shipping companies don't need to advertise their service. And they're hard to find.

Avoid any company that wants you to pay a membership fee to sign up. Most of these "drop shippers" don't make any money on the goods they sell anyway, they make money on membership fees.

If this online selling thing were really easy, everyone would do this instead of working nasty 9 to 5 jobs. It's hard, so be prepared to make a lot of phone calls and run down leads for quite a while until you find a good drop shipper.

There are some advertised in this page.

It means no need to invest money and hold stock. Am i right? Anybody tell me that how can i do online business in this format? Is here nay company which selling stuff and supply to our customers behalf of us? Or any company’s fully goods loaded website which do as above.
I live in UK.

"Drop shipping" is an arrangement between you and the manufacturer or distributor of the product you sell. The manufacturer or distributor — NOT YOU — ships the product to your customers.

So you are right. You would not hold any stock. What you would be doing is selling the companies product on their behalf. Your job would be to pass on the orders you get.

Here's an example: Let's say Ted wants to set up a web site that sells skin care products. Instead of filling his house with cases and cases of stock, and then going downstairs each time an order comes in, Ted puts together a drop shipping arrangement with a manufacturer who ships the products to his customers directly.

And the best part is that the manufacturer will happily ship the products using shipping labels with Ted's company name, address, and logo instead of their own. The product arrives at the customer's house a few days later, and they never know that the product wasn't shipped directly from Ted's warehouse.

There are a few advantages to this model. First, it saves you the cost of building your own inventory.

No inventory also means no leftovers. If the product you sell suddenly becomes outdated or obsolete you aren't the one with a house full of stock that nobody will buy.

Drop shipping can be an easy way to get started selling online. Since the manufacturer or distributor takes care of warehousing and shipping, you'll be able to concentrate your efforts on building your web site and marketing your products.

But there are some pitfalls you want to avoid as well. There are some important questions you should ask before you get started with any company, and there are some drop-shipping scams out there that you need to avoid.

Here is a website telling you all about it and offering you a free tutorial and plenty of advice on how to start up, etc.

All the best.

Hello,
I would like to know how to be successful in drop shipping by selling products online through wholesale companies, and which are some of the best drop-shipping companies available that are legitimate, with good prices and that will allow me to make the most profit?

It depends on what your selling. Wholesalers usually sale products in certain categories. Like sporting goods, fashion, home decor…things like that.

If you want to dropship your going to get slimmer profit margins. Most dropshippers charge a "dropshipping fee" Its a good way to start out, but after you build up an income I would switch to light and heavy bulk. You can still use dropshipping just not all of the time.

EDIT: Doba is NOT a wholesaler. They are a middleman, they have a list of wholesalers that they get products from. They then sell them to you.

I am looking to expand my Amazon & Ebay stores with some drop shippers who do not charge a large monthly fee, but are also reliable and trustworthy.
raymejr - the link did not show up here. can you post it again or email it to me at llongoria0@yahoo.com

I've compiled a list of a drop-shippers that you can find here:

<Look down a little further for the URL!>

I've not used one in sometime, so I can't comment on pricing, but I'm pretty certain they're all relatively cheap.

Hope this helps?

I want my online boutique to have my own original name and have many unique gift and clothing items. Where can I find dropship companies that would carry quality and unique items. The only drop ship companies I am finding are those with items you can buy in any store…example: phones, dvd players, etc… I want unique, girly items! Thanks

go into small store that arn't a chain of stores and ask them were they are got from be really friendly! find factories and ship their stuff in also go like a chocolate shop ask them to put sayings on them and put them on your website!!!
names should be girly not sound cheap.
like 'ribbon' or something!

I have done hours of research and found several different companies but I am not sure which one to go with, if anyone has any info from personal experiances I would love to hear about it thanks!

UPS does pretty good for me.

I am interested in selling products on E Bay and have been reading a lot about drop ship companies. This very interesting to me because I have to work during the day and I am also away a lot at night. So having someone else ship my products and package them for me is the best thing for me at this time.
Does anyone have a Drop ship company they recommend.

I would like to help you but posting the information here would be a violation of the Yahoo! TOS.

I recently spoke to a Man (in passing at starbucks) and he said he was making money by selling wholesale items on his personal website and using a drop ship company. but when I look online everyone is trying to be the middle man and take advantage. Anyone out there know a real whole sale drop ship company that I can trust?

I already answered one of your other questions… it's hard to find anything online from companies who aren't taking a cut. In order to avoid the "middleman" as you put it… you would have to go direct to a person who produces the products you want to dropship. This will take time and energy… and you won't get much veriety. You can make money if you look for products that have a market but not a million people selling it. So even if you go with a company like the one below… don't try to dropship ipods like everyone else. Find a nitch market. Beyond that… you need to get with importers who will sell you something in bulk for a lower price. Most importers will not dropship.

One of the great steps your wholesale business portfolio can suffer or pass with greater ease is the Uncle Sam month- April month. For this exceptional month when you are a retailer or a wholesale distributor situation can get complicated or very simple.

If you own an e-commerce store on the Internet selling hundreds and thousands of items a year without being incorporated with the many options you have as a business owner, could be financial suicide. Whether you sell DVDs, video games accessories, or drop ship Audio merchandise on a yearly if you do not incorporate your e-commerce store you risk having to pay thousands of dollars at the regular maximum rate for taxes in the USA or in your country of residence.

Not only that if you are not incorporated as a C-corporation, S-corporation or as an Limited Liability Corporation known as the famous and simple LLC. The possibilities of having to pay the likely 40-50% cut to Mr. Uncle Sam every April of every year are not possible, are empirical. Total scrutiny if you ask many business owners that have seen the difference in tax cuts and are successfully with there fully worked incorporation.

Having it as a wake-up call note, the financial risk you are having for not protecting your business and personal assets can be very, very damaging to your pocket. Whether you are making $500 a year or $140,000 plus a year in sales, it will be advisable for you to incorporate. Protection, huge savings and tax cut from the many loopholes the government already offers you, are gigantic- consult with your accountant or nearest advisor for getting the facts for your retail, wholesale distributor business or any other business endeavor you have already started.

Giving you a fast early bird example- lets say that you sell eBay items and that you are also a consultant for your niche or sub-niche businesses. At least here at Puerto Rico and potentially, at many US states- in those famous tax forms, you can deduct many of your expenses like food, gas tank, restaurant dinners while still getting to put your car monthly expenses and even house as tax deductible. Best of all, your deductions will not suffer or be deducted from your years growth income.

Your income stays high, your growth income is counted and the possibility of paying the average 40-50% rate in April decreases greatly. You will have to consult with your tax advisor about the great positive loopholes that the US government has given for the incorporated.

With a great educated and knowledgeable wholesale business accountant, taking advantage of these tax loopholes whether you are a retailer or wholesale distributor could mean the difference between a brand new car being fully paid with such savings or a Subway chicken soup savings. Decide early!
