How long have you been in business?
We have been certifying & verifying wholesale suppliers since 1999 and we now have the LARGEST Directory of Certified Dropshippers you can find. We have spent many years building great relationships with our listed Wholesalers, strongly adhering to the guidelines of the Better Business Bureau and making sure our Members have safe, secure, Top-Level Wholesalers for the products they want to sell.
What is the cost for a Worldwide Brands Membership?
The total cost is $299 for lifetime access to our Directory (which is updated weekly with new Wholesalers). You can either pay it all up front (the most popular method) and get right to work…or choose the recurring payment plan program with $99 down and then 2 payments of $110.
What is your guarantee?
We have a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. If you purchase at full price (no payment plan) then you have 60 days to review the Directory. If you purchase with the payment plan, you have 30 days to review the Directory. During the time frame, if you decide you are not satisfied, please contact customer support at
info@worldwidebrands.com and detail your reasons for requesting refund.
Am I getting wholesale products from Worldwide Brands?
No. We are not a Wholesaler, we have the world's largest Directory of Certified Dropshippers. Our job is to locate Top-Level wholesalers and Certify them to ensure they are the best wholesalers for the products they drop ship. You'll be working directly with the REAL Dropshippers (which is the only way to get the best prices).
Do the listed dropshippers and wholesalers give REAL wholesale prices?
Yes they do. We only list Top-Level wholesalers in our Directory. That means you'll be selling products from the same wholesalers used by Big Retail Chains but they are now looking for smaller home-based sellers to increase their online sales. They'll be giving you REAL wholesale prices. Always remember: 1. Wholesale Suppliers do not list their wholesale pricing on their websites and 2. If you want to work with the wholesale supplier using dropshipping, you will be getting wholesale on 1 item. Wholesale prices are cheaper the more items you buy at once so wholesale on 1 item can be a higher price than someone who is buying in bulk and getting bulk wholesale discounts. The wholesale world will never change and one rule always applies "The more you buy, the cheaper each individual item gets."

About Dropshipping |
What is dropshipping?
Dropshipping is when a Supplier has the ability to ship the product directly to a customer for you after the customer makes the purchase on your website or auction listing. This allows you to sell products from home without ever having to buy a single product yourself. It's a low cost way to start selling products online. For a more detailed description of how drop shipping works go here:
http://www.worldwidebrands.com/wwb/dropshipper.asp
What is a dropship fee?
A drop ship fee (also known as a “handling” fee) is the cost the wholesale supplier charges to split apart cases and pack one product to "drop ship" to your customer. Drop Ship fees are almost always very low, ranging from $1 to $5 and can easily be added as a handling fee you charge your customer; ie: Shipping & Handling. Some of our Dropshippers don't even charge this fee at all, but it is a standard fee for most wholesalers who drop ship products.
Do I have to buy the product before I can sell it?
No. Our listed Certified Wholesalers will give you product pictures and descriptions to put on your website and auction listings. You'll use those images to market and sell the products. When you make a sale your customer will buy the product from you first (at your retail cost) and you'll then order it from the Wholesaler (at their wholesale cost). The wholesaler will then ship the product to your end customer. With drop shipping you never have to buy any inventory or products up front.
Do I need a Tax ID to work with a dropshipper?
Yes but if you don't have one yet don't worry. Getting a Tax ID is easy and what everyone has to do in order to work with real wholesalers. All legitimate wholesale suppliers will require a Tax ID to prove that you are going to be selling the product to consumers. If you don't have a Tax ID, we provide helpful links and information for you in our Member Center.
Do I have to pay Dropshippers a Membership Fee?
No. Top-Level Wholesales (real wholesalers) don't charge monthly fees, annual fees or bogus setup fees. As such, none of the Certified Dropshippers in our Directory charge membership fees. Monthly and Annual fees are typically something you see with fake Directories and Wholesalers.

About Light Bulk |
What is Light Bulk?
Light Bulk is an order quantity that Worldwide Brands negotiates with Top-Level Wholesalers in order to give home-based sellers a way to buy affordable, smaller quantities of products, but still get wholesale discounts. A typical bulk order (like a Big Retail Store would make) can be thousands of dollars and much more than a new home-based business can buy or warehouse. A "Light Bulk" quantity however, with our listed Certified Wholesalers, is a bulk order of $500 or less. It gives you a low priced entry point on products you want to buy and store yourself at home (along with additional wholesale discounts so you can sell it cheaper or increase your profit margins.)
I just want to Dropship, why should I care about Light Bulk?
Most of the Certified Dropshippers will also offer Light Bulk ordering. What some sellers do is start with Dropshipping and then when they find a product is selling well, they begin ordering in Light Bulk quantities. This allows them to control their inventory and stock while at the same time gives them even cheaper wholesale prices because they are buying in bulk. It becomes a great way to step up your business and make even more money if you have the time, space and desire to store a little product inventory in your garage or spare bedroom.
Do I get any Discounts with Light Bulk?
Yes. Wholesale has (and always will be) based on volume. The more you buy the more wholesale discounts you get. Since most wholesalers have bulk entry points in the thousands of dollars range (way too much for most home-based sellers) we've negotiated "light bulk" order discounts for our Members. If you order in small, light bulk quantities from any Wholesaler you'll get additional discounts on top of the regular wholesale price.
Do I have to pay a Membership Fee to get Light Bulk?
No. Just like with Drop Shipping, Top-Level Wholesalers (real wholesalers) don't charge monthly fees, annual fees or bogus setup fees. As such none of the Certified Light Bulk Wholesalers in our Directory charge membership fees. Monthly and Annual fees are typically something you see with fake Directories and Wholesalers.
What are Middlemen?
Middlemen are people/companies claiming to be a real wholesaler but they're not. They pretend to be a Dropshipper or Bulk Wholesaler and then hike up the true wholesale cost of the product. Additionally they almost always charge monthly and/or annual fees. Accidentally setting up a business with a middleman has been the demise of many online businesses. Unfortunately most people who work with middlemen don’t find this out until after they have already spent a lot of money on setup fees, monthly fees and other fee-based middleman scams.
