Coming from the other end (manufacturer) We’ve seen companies use dropshipping and it be beneficial. Our trucks are busy, and business is still good- It was a lot to keep track of at first switching deliveries directly to customers etc.. but we managed to stay on top of it.

There are already ways to create a subscribe to comments feature in MT. There has long been a PHP version, and I just released a plugin (MT-Notifier) that uses the MT database and requires only a tiny hack (two inserted lines) to Search.pm to replicate the feature.

So essentially a dropshipping company becomes a middle man for you so your garage isn’t full of toilet paper and other random products. I haven’t really been successful finding a drop shipper that I like and feel safe with.
Cheers,

Drop shipping can work with the right relationships. Just keep in mind you need to find a good niche to compete in.

I know of some supposedly good training on how to set up a website based on dropshipping. It’s not something that I have gotten into at this point, but I may in the future. I prefer the way traditional affiliate marketing works because it doesn’t require me to get involved with a customer or place any orders. Another downside is there seems to be several scammy dropshipping companies out there. I don’t know why, but it seems to be hard to find one that will allow you to have any decent profit margin.

Drop shipping is great because it allows you to start selling online with minimal startup costs. Since you don’t have to purchase any inventory until it sells, you have no stocking costs.

Finding a real wholesale drop shipper is a very difficult task. The internet is cluttered with middlemen and cookie cutter sites.

The drop-shipper’s Web site provides you with descriptions and images. Fine. But you and everybody else who sells that item on eBay will have the same photos and descriptive copy. Do yourself a favor and get a sample of your item, take your own pictures, and write your own description. Then at least you have a chance at beating the competitive “sameness” on eBay.

Very useful points. Also, its important to be extremely cautious so as not to fall into the hands of scammers.

Skepticism is healthy. When you come across Web sites that proclaim that they can drop-ship thousands of different products for you, think twice. Thousands? How many stores carry “thousands” of items — if they do, they have vast square footage for storage and hundreds of thousands of dollars to invest in merchandise. Most drop-shipping services don’t. A much smaller offering of merchandise may indicate that indeed the drop-shipper has the merchandise ready to ship and isn’t relying on ordering it from someone for you.

I agree that dropship business really easy way to start your own business, with dropship you do not have to keep physical stock with yourself which needs your investment. what all you do is first sell collect the moeny and then order from your supplier and keep your profit margin.

Dropshipping business is really advantageous. Because you can earn easily without spending too much and without keeping bulk of products in your possession. You simple have some trusted wholesaler affiliates that you can turn to when there are customers. This is a very good strategy. I am grateful that you posted something like this to inform others about this great opportunity.
