Dropshippers Good And Bad...Lets Talk About It!!

The secret to this entire issue is to find people who have dealt, or deal with the Chinese market on a daily bases... I am an importer, and what I do is find people the product they want straight from the manufacturer. Dropshipping is no longer a good option on eBay or Amazon. With 21 day holds on PayPal and 14 day holds on new accounts with Amazon, dropshipping is a pure risk.

I recommend wholesale, and if you don't have money to start a business with a physical product, invest more time into figuring out how to bring in more money for inventory. eBay is not as easy as it seems, and you might think it is easier due to the low overhead! Not true, I spent more time on my eBay auctions than I ever did with my local stores. To be quite honest, I made much more money importing my products directly than dealing with any of the stupid dropshippers.

All of the companies listed below have a drop shipping program, but the details are often not listed on their web site. If you don't see anything on the web site about drop shipping, email them and ask for the details. Several --but not all, of these companies will ask you to register and fill out a form before they will give you pricing. You should do this. It can take a day or two to get registered, but it is usually worth it.

Some I have used and some I haven't, but I can guarantee that they Are reputable; although you should still do your due dilligence.

Petra Industries (petra.com) is a large wholesale distributor of consumer electronics and is used by some top eBay powersellers. They sell directly and they also have a drop ship program. The web site only shows the retail prices until you register. When you go to the site, you will have to download the information and reseller forms, fill them out and fax them back to the company to get access to the wholesale prices.

Thunderball Marketing (tball.com) is a large distributor of electronic audio, video and photographic equipment. They have been in business since 1985 and will work with eBay sellers. You will have to fill out an application and fax it to them.

The Marshall Distributing Company (marshalldc.com) sells a wide range of facial care, natural cosmetics and natural health products --and they have a drop shipping program (you have to email them to request the drop shipping info).

My Web Wholesaler (mywebwholesaler.com) is another fairly new dropshipping company.

Aircraft Models (aircraftmodelscorp.com)is a manufacturer and importer of fine hand-crafted ship and airplane models. The web site only shows retail prices, but if you email them they will send you wholesale and drop ship information.

The Body Bolster (bodybolster.com) is a very unique exercise device for sore backs. The company will sell in 1 dozen lots or drop ship directly for you. You will have to email them through the web site for wholesale and drop ship information.

Hunting supplies are hot on eBay and Green Supply (greensupply.com)is a large distributor of hunting and camping accessories (except guns). You have to contact them through the web site to set up an account before you can get the wholesale pricing --but their pricing is very good and they will drop ship their more expensive products.

Glitter Direct (glitterdirect.com) is an importer of home and garden items and other general products.

H Motorsports (hmotorsports.com) is an automotive drop shipper. Sell accessories, lights, performance items, suspension items, rims, body parts and more. Once you look around the website, click on Wholesale. Fill out the form and let them know you are interested in selling their products on a drop ship basis.

Vitamin Power (vitaminbusiness.com)is a wholesale distributor and drop shipper of vitamins. They are a straightforward distributor --not a MLM company like many others.

Wonderful Buys (wonderfulbuys.com) sells all the As Seen On TV products. They have a drop ship and an affiliate program.

Cutting Edge Products (cuttingedgeproducts.net) sells and drop ships security products, gifts and electronics.

Trademark poker (trademarkpoker.com) sells a wide line of poker supplies, slot machines and other gaming supplies. They will sell wholesale in bulk or drop ship for you.

Hope this helps...:)

I'm Current On Ebay And One Of The Things I'm Looking For A Good Drop Shipper, So I Can Start Turning A Decent Profit And Not Have To Do The Whole 9-5 ,Kill Your Dreams For A Check Ever 2 Weeks, Thing :rolleyes:.

So Far What I've Come Across Are Supplier Who Sell Fake Item (ie, DHGate lol), Or Supplier Who Are Really Glorified Middle Men (ie, Charge A Tiny Bit Under Retail So You Get No Profit :( ).

Personally My Advice To Everyone Interested In Doing The Drop Shipping Or Wholesale Deal Is To Get A Sales Tax ID Number (Depending On Your State It May Be Called Something Else), All Real Wholesaler Ask For One, And I Had To Learn That The Hard Way :( .

So Anyway, I Thought I'd Start A Thread To Discuss Some Good Suppliers/Drop Shippers That Members Of This Forum Have Come Across And/Or Use.

Oh And Lets Try And Avoid Worldwidebrand, I Know Blackhatworld Has Way More Reach And Skill Then To Refer To A Service That Cost 300ish Bucks For Information Openly Available.

So....Lets Start The Discussion!!:rolleyes:
 
I found that simply ordering an item on eb@y and looking at the return address can reveal a lot of info about a drop shipper. Of course, some drop shippers offer the option to cover their name/addy up on return address to the merchants.

Thank you so much guy, this has been very interesting, i wonder if they request tax id for US residents .
 
if this is still open i will tell you of one good company to check into. Inventory*source (dot) com check them out and you will understand why. The offer a database from dropshippers. (i use them on 3 websites) and they are pretty reasonable. They are not a wholesaler they are third party company that deals with the dropshippers.

Just my two cents
 
All the stuff on ebay and amazon are sold buy these so called dropshippers anyway. You think they can't hire someone for cheap to do the work of listing and emails,... The big boys own the internet allready. Thats why Blackhat and other technics is all that's left for the regular guy/gal to make serious money fast.
 
You can check the suppliers at castle of savings dot com and enter
elogin for the user name and access for the password.Lots of interesting goodies here.:D
 
spdbmp, that is an amazing post. You don't even know how glad I am to find your post. I'll be checking out and starting dropshipping with most of those I"m sure! Thanks so much.
 
has anyone experience using www*salehoo*com, is wholesales distributor.
 
Hi white/black hatters

This is my first post here. I have a technique that can help you guys but it takes some work tough. Instead of find suppliers in the state of from ebay. Go to the asian-ebay ... The e-market for the asian people where things are way cheaper than ebay. You might have to use Babel Fish or Google translator to help you out since those websites are not in english. But I can guarantee you they have the best prices...I am even sure there are suppliers who buy from them and sell it on ebay.

1- Find the asian ebay

2- Get a translator program to help you with the site

3- Find your products

4- Contacts the supplier of the products. (most of them use QQ..compare to us we use msn or yahoo)

5- Make contact with them, tell them how much you want, give a bulk price, ask for shipping method, payment method etc.
( This is the hardest part since none of them speak english but you will see that they are very happy and excited to deal with a foreigner ..foreigner=money)

6- Make the deal


I ve done this for 2 yrs now and it works pretty well... The sellers on those sites are rated by stars and fowers(dont ask me why)

Things that I bought:
air jordan for 5$ and up
replica glasses for 2$
women clothing for average 3$ to 10$ (bought bulk and sold them to my town's store for 2$ profit each)
cellphones found a good dropshiper ( created my online website for that purpose)

I am not gonna give the links to those website... I hope you can do some work and find them yourself

Hope the general post can help you out
;)
 
Spdbmp,
good share mate. But...
Got any good suppliers for the UK?


juztin, nice idea.
Ive been looking at the two.
I wonder though, when a Chinese seller is on egay uk and it states pounds only, does this mean they have registered on the uk site?
Since they also come up in dollars and has a conversion to pounds too.
Or do they register on egay cn and that allows them to specify not only international, but a specific country (e.g. uk, us, etc)?
