You make a sale and the dropshipper ships it to the customer for you. You buy from the dropshipper at wholesale and sell it to the customer at retail. Profiting the difference, without any inventory or shipping hassles.

ps... Quick question Barron... you want to be in research, but you ask first, rather than search first? Are you sure research is for you? (btw, feel free to answer in your thread)

ooooo, slick man!

how badly did i really want to know what it was?? well, enough to type the question, but not enough to google it.

compare that to what i did to get at fed probabilities of rate cuts and you see the difference. one thing i care about and want to research, the other i don't and didn't have to ...

but thanks for the virtually effortless answer to my question though [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Worldwide Brands Charges a $299 fee to search drop shippers.

I would like to contact some shippers directly without the middle man. As far a products go, I am not real picky. Sporting goods, name brand knives, anything high quality high mark up.

I've done a lot of research on this topic but I can still be wrong. I decided not to pursue dropshipping as a 2nd business because it was going to take too much time away from my primary business.


What I do know is that there are MANY dropshippers out there who act like nothing but middlemen. Basically, you pay them a fee to sign up to their dropshipping service, you order a product to dropship whereever, they order product from wholesaler, wholesaler dropships product.


I read an extensive article saying all "dropshippers" that:

1) Charge you signup fees
2) isn't a wholesaler
3) Doesn't have their own warehouse
4) doesn't require you to have a Tax ID

Are mostly pseudo dropshippers.

I can be wrong though since I have never done this business.

This list is very good and free... Thanks Slacker.

DBL Distributing is on it, as well as D&H, who was also good, but a bit more time-consuming to deal with; however, D&H offered PCs and PC components/accessories, while DBL did not. I'm not sure if this is still the case.

From my limited experience, you would get something very similar to this list paying $299 to Worldwide Brands, so PM Slacker.
