I found many posts mentioned drop ship from Amazon, few questions ?

1. What is the point, why not aliexpress, more profit and almost same products?
2. Is it really profitable ? both are full of Chinese sellers with a very low price.
3. Is shipping the major reason ? but ship from Amazon will have its logo on package, how to explain to customers ?

Tell me how to find more and start to give a try.
 
Dropshipping from Amazon has its advantages:

  1. Product Quality: Amazon generally offers higher-quality products compared to AliExpress.
  2. Faster Shipping: With Amazon Prime, you can provide quicker delivery times to customers.
  3. Brand Trust: Customers trust Amazon, potentially leading to increased sales.
However, it's important to consider:

  1. Profit Margins: While profit margins may be lower compared to AliExpress, the convenience and trust associated with Amazon could offset this.
  2. Competition: Competition can be fierce, but targeting niche markets and employing effective marketing strategies can help.
  3. Shipping Concerns: To address branding issues, consider using discreet packaging or Amazon's Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) service.
Yes, shipping time is much faster, but how to keep it secret packing will be a big problem.

Most customers won't even care about the Amazon packaging.

For the rare occasion someone does question it, you could use some corporate speech:

"We've partnered up with Amazon to ensure expedited delivery for all our customers."


You should tick the "Mark as a gift" option though so it won't include the receipt.

not aliexpress as shipping is a nightmare. you can ship with gift packaging from amazon. otherwise, customers typically don't care

But the profit margin really low, 5-10% not even cover ebay fee

1. What is the point, why not aliexpress, more profit and almost same products? - faster shipping time, products are vetted already by Amazon buyers, so you will end up with a better quality product in general.
2. Is it really profitable ? both are full of Chinese sellers with a very low price. - no, it is only for small scale seller, too many problems and headaches for the money that you make, that is if you make any profit at all. Don't forget about the listing fee, ad fee and final value fee of ebay, which is about 20%.
3. Is shipping the major reason ? but ship from Amazon will have its logo on package, how to explain to customers - if you are an amazon seller, you have the option to ship our own FBA product with no amazon marking. However, if you drop ship, I don't think that option is available to you.
