eCommerce #5: Searching A Drop Shipper
The most critical aspect of the entire process is selecting the appropriate drop shipper, and it can be very challenging. Contacting hundreds of people and a variety of businesses is necessary before you can find the best one.
Worldwide Brands offers one of the most comprehensive directories of drop shippers and wholesalers, but it comes at a hefty price. They also perform preliminary quality assurance tests, which are interested in ensuring that your money will be well spent.
Check out this list of possible dropshipping sources if you are looking for unique types of goods and do not wish to pay to avail Worldwide Brands’ services:

However, if you use Shopify and Oberlo, you will be using a very different platform. AliExpress is a low-cost drop shipper. AliExpress is a product of the Alibaba website, which has become the most popular for finding drop shippers and manufacturers for quite some time now.

Since AliExpress does not require minimum orders, it is ideal for drop shippers. In orders, goods are usually priced at or close to wholesale prices, and AliExpress does not require any paper works such as tax IDs or business licenses.
One thing to bear in mind is that customers may have to wait several weeks for their orders to arrive because most items from this platform are shipped from China.

If you choose AliExpress, ensure that customers have clear information about their orders’ expected arrival date. One significant advantage of using AliExpress is that you can select goods with free delivery, which can entice customers and make up for the longer delivery time.
