Our Drop shipping is a product delivery method in which the seller (retailer) accepts payment

for an order, but the customer receives the product(s) directly from the Wholesaler. 

In a drop shipping arrangement, the retailer acts as a middleman between the manufacturer

and the customer. 

His profit in the transaction is the difference between the wholesale and

retail price of the items sold.

 

 

Drop shipping is very beneficial to smaller retail shops, internet-only storefronts and those

who primarily use catalogs for sales. 

Customers of these outlets don’t always expect to walk out with their purchases, so a slight

delay between ordering and drop shipping is not a drawback. 

A representative item may be displayed on the store’s shelves or pictured in its catalog,


but the actual product purchased may be sitting in a factory’s warehouse 3000 miles away.

One of the biggest problems drop shipping addresses for retailers is inventory control. 

In a traditional retail store setting, products are ordered in bulk from the manufacturer and

must be stored in a secure area until displayed.

This means maintaining a proper storage area, hiring employees to handle the stock and

investing in security measures to prevent theft. 

With drop shipping, the retailer does not keep a large inventory on the premises.

More space can be devoted to displays, and fewer employees need to be hired to handle

shipping, receiving, inventory and security.
