Drop Shipping is a technique of supply chain management. In this technique the retailer does not keep goods in stock, instead of that they transfer the orders of the customers directly to the manufacturer or wholesaler. The profit of drop shipper is same as retailer have the difference between wholesale and retail price.
Problems in Dropshipping
There are a lot of stories we heard on internet about horrible end of drop shipping problems. If you look around yourself you can easily find many peoples who did the mistake of trusting people online who show themselves as a drop shipper but they are fake and only interested in making money. It is a crime which is very common in our society. The common problem that we are facing now days is the size of the account. A small business owner is often considered as “small potatoes” to a drop shipper hence they do not receive the same customer service as a large account holder get.
The companies which have large volume to order will definitely feel that the drop shippers are treating them as kings. The logic behind that concept is drop shippers paid more from large account holders or bulk customers therefore they want to make good business relationship and long term partnership with them.
Difference between Small and Bulk Customers
Most of the drop shippers do not want to have business relationship with small account holders. Those who show interest in smaller business holders are often fly by night companies which have closed suddenly and take money of their customers too. Most of the drop shippers start business without any solid planning thus when they start business they cannot fulfill the customer demands or failed to achieve customer satisfaction.
How to Search A Reliable Dropshipper
The million dollar question is if you own a small business how do you find a good drop shipper? The answer is not as clear as many people want to hear. May be you look for a friend who already engaged with some drop shipper or you will have trial and error method to get a good response. Means after doing few mistakes you will be able to find a good shipper.
The other way is go and search on internet, read the complete profile of company. If the company is in business since more than last five years and they got registered on BBB is may be the shipper you are looking for. Often companies list their current customers in their profile that is also a good way to judge a company’s credibility by just calling their existing customers. In the end we must have to think positive, if there are many bad shippers who are there to take your money, there must be some good ones who are here to make long term relationship with their customers and making a name in the drop shippers industry.
