Take this from someone who's experienced quite lot of shitty part of dropshipping
I will say most experienced dropshippers usually start with wellknown platforms, then take time to verify suppliers themselves. Ordering samples, checking shipping times, and testing communication helps a lot.
To avoid bad suppliers, be cautious with prices that seem too good to be true, unclear tracking, or slow replies. If they’re hard to deal with early on, it usually doesn’t improve late
