Lately I'm making good money with dropshipping but I'm really fearfull.

Fear of my supplier scamming me one day or that orders get stuck in transit.

Every day I'm just thinking how about how to sell this store and be done with it.

This is not the way I feel comfortable doing business anymore.

Am i acting like a b*tch? I just want to have peace in my head.

Any advise?

I could not find peace with drop shipping either, follow your gut. unless you're inebriated then probably don't take action until you're clear headed. regardless all jokes aside, drop shipping is truly a cunt.
 
If you can't sell it , invest the money you are making on something else , a business that will be completely yours . After it starts making you money you can just close your drop-shipping store.
 
you could try another business model like wholesale or private label on amazon fba program. the thing with amazon is the demand is already there, you just need to fill the needed niche after you research it, and build your own brand something that can grow with time and sold later aswell
 
This thread seems to attract some pros. So I got a question... if all I wanna do is sell black shirts... can I still do it? Or when people talk about drop shipping its never about cloths?
 
I remember that felling, especially big you are dealing with aliexpress suppliers, at this moment free shipping is taking almost 3 months to reach usa and dhl is taking a month and a half if you are lucky, I was able to sell one of the sites a few weeks ago, how long is taking the transit time of your orders?

I'm making money.. but the stressfull part is the suppliers and communicating with them and hoping every day that they won't scam you

you need to buy products in bulk and ship to your own warehouse. that way you will have 100% control + you can get better prices when you buy in bulk

Yes you are right.. but this product has so many sizes and colors so thats why i'm not buying in bulk for this product

Yes! Those people are really frustrating to work with, my shipping times are oke 10 - 15 days, but still i don't feel comfortable doing this anymore

I ordered some items from aliexpress 5 months ago and I am still waiting... imagine if I would have the same problem with a store, not good
 
If you have consistent traffic and orders you could just ship in bulk to your home/warehouse and handle the shipping yourself. That way your supplier doesn't get all the customer information (to somehow sell his own products). Plus as someone else has stated you'll probably get a better price. You could even go as far and private label those products or make some improvements.
 
Dont sell your store. You are lucky to be successful. Keep them and do more, so if incase this store stop giving money, you still have income.
 
If you are doing this for while then make a bulk order for yourself and ship goods for customers by yourself!
 
If your making a decent amount, invest your cash into stocking a small batch in amazon, ahead of time, then you can replenish via amazon and reduce your risk, gain peace of mine &!= moaning bitch. :)

Also, you will be able to provide much faster shipping times, faster shipping = happy customers! Happy Customers = more customers!
 
Mitigate the risk.

When buying stock use your credit card - they will cover your ass if the vendor is a scammer - at least that's how it works in the UK.
