Using a drop shipper is a great alternative to stocking inventory yourself. However, you need to make sure you are using a free dropshipper, or one that does not charge a dropshipping fee. This will help protect your profits and is just one more fee you should not be paying.
Five things to look at when choosing a free dropshipper are found below:
1. Truly no fees - While a drop shipper may claim to not charge you a fee for dropshipping products directly to your customers, they might try to get you with a monthly fee. Make sure that you truly are paying no fees to use a dropshippers service.
2. Reputation - Your eBay drop shipper supplier should be trustworthy and do what they say they will. They need to be able to deliver on what they promise or your business will suffer.
3. Quick turnaround - Your supplier should quickly turnaround any order you place with them to ensure it gets to your customer as quickly as possible. Any slowness on the part of your dropshipper will be directly reflected by the happiness of your customers, and happy customers are repeat customers.
4. Handling returns - How are customer returns handled? Will your dropshipper handle this for you, or do they expect you to receive the items and deal with getting it back to your supplier?
5. Included paperwork - A customer should never receive an order that contains paperwork indicating that their product did not come directly from you. It is important that the customers think you are the one doing the shipping so that they have more trust in you.
Locating a wholesale supplier that doesn’t charge you a fee to use their dropshipping services is important, as this will directly affect your profit margin. Finding a reputable supplier that is easy to work with and doesn’t charge you unnecessary fees it vital to the success of your business.
