Hi
@exonerate and thank you very much for asking your questions. I highly appreciate it.
Regarding the Bot:
Most of the products being scraped from Aliexpress. Our clients prefer high margins and long shipping more than fast shipping and low margins. It means that on every 5 Aliexpress products we publish 2 Amazon / Walmart items. a Ratio of 5:2. We know that some clients prefer the opposite and we are working on improving the Bot.
We scrape products from stores with specific criteria to make sure that suppliers are legit and at the same time; you should keep in mind that it's always recommended to check the seller before you decide to work with him.
We had a few problems scraping from Walmart & Amazon last month; the problem is already resolved.
Please Keep in mind,
@exonerate that we explain exactly how to locate those products on your own. The bot mission is to give you a kickstart as a beginner and to increase our product value.
We have no control over suppliers on Amazon / Walmart / Ali so we cannot give any guarantee. However, we make sure to check the seller's feedback/reviews manually before anything gets published.
Average profit margin
There are products with 30% margins, products with 50% and even 70%, without mentioning cashback/credit rewards/Discounted Giftcards. once your products catch the ''wave'' you can increase your margin by up to 70% if you have a proper setup in place. It's included in contacting your suppliers personally for bulk discount prices and you should keep in mind that the dropshipping return rate is dynamic and changing often.
The 30% margin you mentioned in the screenshot above is just 1 example out of many. in simple words, your profit depends on how you manage your store logistics/orders; the average starts from 10% up to 30% for a beginner. it can be up to 70-80% for an advanced drop shipper who knows what he is doing. I remember that when I started I was super satisfied with just 15% per sale.
Also, Those factors depend on the store owner's management. Just like two persons who walk together to work in the same sales office.same working hours: with the same job and the same pitch: one makes 5k, and the other one makes 10k. can you explain it? the only word which came into my mind is dedication. Please keep in mind that if anything else is needed regarding ''proof'' from our side we will followup with any request that will come from BHW or BTB.
Long Delivery times
We are simply dealing with it. There is a solution to every problem. If you want an actual solution than you can contact me and I will guide you once you started your own dropship store. you can rent your own warehouse and ship bulk amount to there too if you have a best seller product. you can Google it: rent order fulfillment services/warehouse
Please keep in mind that question with ''What if'' cannot be answered properly because they are theoretical and not practical. In any case that one of our clients will face problems, we are always there to support them. And even though you are not a client, I am willing to assist and provide you access. If it's relevant to you, then you can feel free to reach out to me at t.me/igprofessor
