Some of them do offer drop shipping. Just have to hit them up and ask about it. Especially when you already have a winning product it should be easier to work things out with them.

Pretty sure some of them are selling on AliExpress with a different name.

definitely marketing scam, use paypal at all costs to protect yourself

My dear friend, I have seen this a thousand times.
You will not see your money, the "goods", or them, again.
This is a classic scam. Just forget this and go find a real factory.
Deal only through the alibaba or aliexpress platform, so you have some recourse
in the event of a dispute.
And tracking numbers mean nothing. You can send an envelope with a tracking number,
or a rats ass in a box. Means diddly squat.
Just be careful out there.

Thank you my man.
I’ve just blocked him and am taking my searches for a supplier elsewhere. You just saved me quite a bit

This “Factory” salesman contacted me, offering a very good price for one of the products I am dropshipping, I don’t mind revealing it.

Need people’s take on this, for reference , the same projector retails on aliexpress and alibaba for $30 - $40

Tell them to send you quotation using their company e-mail, show you their company website, and their alibaba page if they have.
I can help you check the company registration info if you have the company name (better in Chinese)

99% alibaba sellers don't do dropshipping.
exception happens when the sales person agrees to do the business personally.

Thank you mate!

Pretty sure we mutually blocked each other recently , so no can do! But it’s interesting to see that nothing he said correlates
