Thread: Product Sourcing - Dropship Wholesaler List

Lot of people opening/have e-commerce website like to use dropshippers for their inventory.

Lets start with explaining what is dropshipping.
In traditional online business you sell online what you have. Or you can buy bunch of stuffs, store them somewhere and sell them online.

In dropshipping, you dont store anything or buy anything until you get an order on your website. When you get an order you place the order to your dropshipper, and they ship it for you to the customer; or if you like they ship it to you and you ship it to the customer.

What you have to do is find the dropshippers who have the products you wanna sell, and list those products on your website.

Sounds Easy?
Might sound easiest way to make money. Trust me, its not. Finding a good dropshipper who have the products you wanna sale, also give you proper profit margin is challenging job. Specially when there are so many bad dropshippers around.

Here are some sites that provides the service of connecting etailers and dropshippers. All of them are paid ones. I personally have tried some of them.
Paid Supplier Listing

Doba
They act like the middle man, you deal with Doba and Doba deal with dropshippers. You can pick products you like to sell on Doba site, have a data file you can use to update your inventory. Their payout isnt that great.

SaleHoo
Provides huge list of dropshippers. I have tried their service. Good one. You have to pay one time fee of $67 to become member there. EBay certified.

Wordwide Brands
Very reputed service. The price to pay is quite high though, $299. Lot of EBay sellers use their service. They are EBay certiied.

My opinion:
From the first hand experience with the last two listed above (salehoo and worldwide brands) I would say Worldwide Brands is the best amongst those three. Profit margin from Doba is somewhat low, but they got a huge selection of products.

The good thing about Dropshipping is that it doesn't take a genious to figure and master. Sure it can take some time to learn it through and through but if you work hard at it the rewards can be greatful.

Good article.

that is sort of true. the secret of success is your purchase price. lower the purchase price higher is your profit, and you can take chances selling on discounts if you need to.

You know very useful information...aloha

Amongst all of them IMO wordwide brands is the best; even though they charge about $300 for membership, it worth spending that money with them.
