Drop Shipping Pros

Wholesale drop shipping is often touted for its simplicity and efficiency but what are the real advantages to using a drop ship service (such as DropShip Design) for an online retail business?

Reduced Overhead
Brick and mortar costs for retailers can be outrageous - many retailers do not (and cannot) break even unless they are operating on a large enough scale to do so. Then add in shipping and packaging costs to send individual items and overhead expenses are far more than you can afford. Drop shipping reduces overhead.

No Inventory Costs
Drop shipping is based on a model where the retailer does not order from the wholesaler until a customer has actually ordered (and paid for) an item. This eliminates the need for inventory investments and enables retailers to test how well new products will sell without having to actually purchase inventory.

Concentrated Time, Efforts, and Money
The time that would be spent receiving and organizing inventory, printing and labeling, and packing and shipping orders can now be focused somewhere else. It saves time and money so you can focus your efforts and funds on areas where you will get the most bang for your buck, such as improved customer service and marketing your website.

No Minimums
You can order as many or few wholesale items as you want, since you do not place on order with the wholesaler until payment has been received from a customer.

Bigger Product Choice
Not only do you have more products to choose from, but you can sell products that you wouldn’t have been able to otherwise; without size, space, and shipping restrictions, you can sell bulky items such as furniture.
