Ship Basics
Recognizing
a niche in a world of online marketplaces such
as eBay and Amazon, Dropshippers have brought a
whole new home based business opportunity to the
work at home executive. Where do they fit in and
what should you look for in a Dropship supplier?
The
Concept
Dropshipping has been around for many years. Large
wholesalers,
warehousing facilities and logistical specialist
have been offering "Dropshipping" in own brand or
plain packaging as value added services since time
began. The main difference with the new
businesses, renamed "Dropshippers"...is that they
have made these services available to the
general public
for a larger array of consumer goods.
 |
"In
leiu of company history to verify your intent,
dropshippers charge a fee for their services.
Companies
such as ESources and Salehoo offer
vast catalogues of Dropshippers and Wholesalers,
pre-approved to safeguard
you...their customer. " |
The
Practice
By
using a Dropshipper, it is important to
recognize your role. You will advertise
the product for sale via your preferred
marketplace or your own website, but hold
no stock. Only once your sale is complete
will you place the order on the Dropshipper.
The Dropshipper will in turn despatch the
goods normally in plain packaging to your
customer, leaving your business to despatch
a reciept/despatch note separately by mail.
This method of
trading always leaves you cash rich, as
you hold no assets and get paid before
you part with your money.
| "Unfortunately
nothing in business is free (except
for informational sites, such as
www.work-at-home-executive.com! ) there are
costs that need to be incurred. Work at home businesses
especially, need to weigh up the in/out expenditure
and keep a close eye on costs. With this in mind,
Dropshipper fees may seem either reasonable or
simply too much...if it is the latter then you
may wish to consider a different business model
to e-commerce. " |
