Blackbriar 8,569 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Drop shipping is a retail method in which you don't keep products in stock. Instead, you partner with a wholesale supplier that stocks its own inventory - you transfer customer orders and shipment details to them, and they ship the goods directly to the customer. The biggest benefit of drop shipping is you don't have to worry about fulfillment or inventory issues. Also, most customers don't know you're drop shipping, since "private label shipping" lets you ship from the wholesaler with a return address and invoice customized to your ecommerce store. You learn something new everyday.... thanks guys. It's not a term I was familiar with, although I am familiar with the concept. I'm guessing that it's a post e-commerce americanism. Been around for a while mate. I'll let some of you guys who want to make a few quid working from home into a secret. Won't affect me I've moved on from there a LOT of eBay shops are just guys like us drop shipping. For £19.99 a month you can get an eBay shop, find a couple of drop shipping manufacturers, for £19.99 a month I think your allowed to list 200 items. Build up a shop, link their stock levels to your shop, the customer pays you, you order the stuff from the manufacturer giving customers details, you keep the profit, they get the stuff as if its from you. I've got a couple of sites I use but was wondering if anyone had any more i still don't get it ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
