About Dropshipping

A wholesale dropshipping distributor is a wholesale company, and at times the manufacturer of their own products, that will ship a single item directly to you or your customer for you. You are not required to place a minimum order. You do not have to pay to warehouse anything, or ship anything. You never have to touch it. YOU set your own retail price, and pay the distributor the wholesale price. No middleman taking your profits. YOU make a profit each and every time.

Why DropShipping Exists

Every successful business person knows the importance of focus. Business people articulate their focus by talking about their "core business" activity. In short, it means the primary activity that generates cash for them. Some people focus on selling. Some focus on running a warehouse. Some focus on manufacturing a product. Others focus on advertising.

Mail order catalog companies focus on selling. They are professional sales people who know their chosen target market and they find products to sell to their chosen market. Catalog companies do not manufacture product, run warehouses or run advertising services. They have manufacturers put products in fulfillment warehouses and have the warehouses drop ship products their customers.

Let's put that another way. The catalog company has absolutely no inventory. It just has a catalog. It takes an order from a customer. It keeps the profit. It sends the cost of the product to the fulfillment warehouse. The fulfillment warehouse puts the catalog company's invoice in the box and sends the product to the customer. The customer gets the product and thinks that it came from the catalog company's own inventory in its own warehouse. The fulfillment warehouse drop shipped the product for the catalog company.

Here's an example:

Let's say Mary wants to set up a web site that sells skin care products. Instead of filling her basement with cases and cases of stock, and then going downstairs each time an order comes in, Mary puts together a dropshipping arrangement with a manufacturer who ships the products to her customers directly.

And the best part is that the manufacturer will happily ship the products using shipping labels with Mary's company name, address, and logo instead of their own. The product arrives at the customer's house a few days later, and they never know that the product wasn't shipped directly from Mary's warehouse!

Let's say Mary has a product called the "Total Skin Care Package," priced at $97. A customer visits her site, places an order, and is billed $97 plus $11 for shipping and handling.

Mary then sends the manufacturer an e-mail with her customer's order and shipping information. The manufacturer packs up the customer's order, puts Mary's shipping label on the package, and mails it out via UPS or FedEx, usually within 48 hours.

The manufacturer then bills Mary for the WHOLESALE price of the "Total Skin Care Package" -- in this case $64 plus $11 for shipping and handling. Since Mary has passed the shipping and handling fee on to her customer, she has just netted a profit of $33. AND ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS SEND HER MANUFACTURER AN E-MAIL!

Mary used classic dropshipping as it is used by the huge mail order catalog companies. And you can be a drop shipper too! We have provided some good links to good drop ship sources. You are invited to review the material under the links. There are tips, tricks and warnings. Please read them all.
