Question/s About aliexpress

[laylon23]

Hey guys, I see some awesome threads on the journey section
Keep it up guys

Quick story about me at the moment. Cue [yawn]
I am stuck in house everyday and cant work as looking after my kids etc..
so all I have is time online and needs to turn it into some sort of business if I can.
I battle hard to stay focused on one thing unless I see results.
I used to sell Digital codes for games/ Xbox live. I enjoyed it as it was nice to see a sale everyday
It was slowly becoming a scammers paradise and had to stop.
Now I need something to sink my teeth into and work.
So.....

I wanted to start drop shipping and wanted to know how you deal with 19-30/40 days delivery time?

If feel as this may put customers off at a glance, but many people are doing it and doesn't seem to be the case.

Many thanks
Leighton

As long as customers see in the listing and estimated delivery date that the item is coming that last it shouldn't be a problem. The problem happens when listing says item is in Los Angeles and customer orders if from Los Angeles and doesn't get it for 3 weeks.

Thanks that's very helpful.
So be up straight with the customer and they can't really say much untill it goes over the delivery date?

Customers can not file a non delivery claim until after the estimated delivery date.

I'm rather ignorant about this topic but I definitely recall other posters saying to use "epacket" to help ensure a more reasonable delivery date. You probably already knew that but just thought I'd post it just in case.

If you can find DHL on some products, even better. They usually deliver in about a week or less.

We all have our way of doing things I guess, but I'm the same as you. If I don't see results within a week or two and I feel like I'm doing as much as I can into it , on to the next project. I used to try and force something to be successful and work one project and not give up on it until I see results, but when those results never show, all that time and money I spend into it kills my motivation for a while. Besides, there's hundreds of ideas out there to try out and new ones everyday.

You should mention the delivery time on your product page & shipping page. So your customer will not stock when they purchase your product.
Addition, you should add the tracking delivery feature. There are some free app can do the feature.
