Beware Bogus Dropshipper Listings
If you want to start your Internet home based business for very little money, you need Wholesale Suppliers who Drop Ship. Why? Because working with drop shippers eliminates the need for you to carry expensive inventories. You don’t have to rent a warehouse, hire employees, establish accounts with UPS and FedEx, etc. You can sell the best brand names on earth from your home computer, and make good money at it.
Wholesale Suppliers who drop ship send the products you sell directly from their warehouse to your customer, with your business name on it. All you do it take the order from your customer and pass it to the distributor. You keep the difference between the wholesale price the distributor charges you, and the retail price you sell to your customer for.
Of course, there are a lot of places out there that want you to THINK they are wholesale drop shippers. They’ll set up accounts with, say, 10 real drop ship suppliers. Then they’ll call themselves something like “Drop Ship Paradise”, and claim that THEY are the wholesale drop ship supplier. Then it’ll go like this:
“Drop Ship Paradise” will place advertising all over the Internet proclaiming to be the greatest source that ever existed for all kinds of great products, and they’ll drop ship all those products to your customer. You’ll get all excited because YOU can actually place everything from Sony electronics to Coleman Camping gear on your web site and sell it.
“Drop Ship Paradise” will charge you an account setup fee, to cover their “processing”. (Note: REAL Wholesale Suppliers almost NEVER charge you an account setup fee).
“Drop Ship Paradise” will send you a nice, shiny list of products and show you where to get the product images and descriptions to place on your web site.
You’ll get all excited, and put all this great stuff on your site, set your prices so that you can make a profit over what “Drop Ship Paradise” charges. You’ll launch your site, and you hardly sell a thing.
Huh? What happened? Nobody’s buying! You can’t survive on just a few orders a month! Disappointed and discouraged, you start to go out and check other web sites that carry the same products. Maybe they have better images. Maybe they have cooler descriptions. Maybe their pages look nicer. You find that it’s none of those things. So what DO you find? The other sites? PRICES are lower. A LOT lower. You just got nailed by one of the most popular scams on the Internet. “Drop Ship Paradise” took you for a couple of hundred dollars in exchange for a CD full of product images. They may have even locked you into a contract where you have to pay them every month to be a “member” of their “distributorship”.
Oh, “Drop Ship Paradise” DOES ship the products they claim to. Of course they do. It’s just that when they get an order from you, they turn around and place your order with the REAL Wholesale Supplier, and take a profit. By the time YOUR price is calculated, you’re paying not only wholesale, you’re paying “Drop Ship Paradise”, extra markup of anywhere from 10% to 30%.
In order for YOU to make a profit, you naturally have to mark up the prices you get from “Drop Ship Paradise”. By the time you do that, you can’t compete on the ‘Net. Your prices are just too high.
Many suppliers are now realizing that a good part of their future lies in Internet sales, and they are establishing drop ship and light bulk wholesale programs. There are even a few big name manufacturers who are beginning to supply Home-based Internet Businesses right from their factories. That’s where YOU need to be. In direct contact with the actual Wholesale Supplier or factory source. Where do you find them? Worldwide Brands is an excellent source.
