Dropshipping still confuses new sellers a little. Some see it totally as a scam. But really all it is is a service & delivery method. Continue with this article to learn exactly what dropshipping is and how it helps!
Starting a business online is easier than ever, but there are still aspects of running a business that can bog down a business, and even bring it down without proper management.
One in particular is shipping. It’s not uncommon for businesses to attract negative reviews due to their performance of delivering products their customers purchased online. In addition to poor reviews and overall customer experience, the cost of packing and shipping products is often what prevents people from really expanding because it’s so risk intensive.
Money and Time Saver
This is where dropshipping comes in. A dropshipper is a WHOLESALE SUPPLIER that will hold the inventory and ship products to the end customer for you. Dropshipping means not having any inventory and relying on your wholesale supplier. This helps your business because you:
- Do not have to buy in bulk and have room to hold your inventory
- Don’t have to worry about packing and shipping the products
- And do not have to hire staff to help you out with your inventory
Having warehouse space means more money spent. Packing and shipping the products yourself means more money spent. Also, as your business grows and more customers are buying from you, you will not have to hire extra staff to pack and ship items which means even more money spent.
Dropshipping WARNING ⚠️
Dropshipping saves time and saves money! But you can’t just choose anyone off the internet that says they dropship and try to start selling. Because yes! There are scams and middlemen that will earn money from your profits or charge you a monthly fee just for the privilege to sell those products. You have to make sure that you work with REAL Wholesalers so you don’t have to worry that the goods aren’t being delivered right as well as make sure that you aren’t overpaying for wholesale prices.
