How to Find a Drop Ship Company

By Ginny McWorthie

This article will go over information regarding drop shipping. It will discuss what a dropshiper is and where a company interested in drop shipping may find them.

A business is considered a drop shipper when they ship merchandise one at a time in order to fill the requests sent in by online or brick and mortar companies. The product is shipped out to customers by the wholesaler for the retailer so that the the retailer will not have to have inventory.

One specific form of dropshipping is blind dropshipping. I would suggest using this form of dropshipping because the dropshipper will actually put your companies address as the return address. This means that when your customer gets the package, your return address will appear and not the dropshippers.

There are a few different sources used to find a drop shipper that's right for you. One source, probably the easiest is to use a drop ship directory. Another good source is through manufacturers of the product. Also, don't forget that you can always do a search through a search engine although, if you aren't familiar with how searches work, you may have difficulty.

A drop ship directory is a wonderful thing. All a person really needs to do is sign up with a good drop ship directory. In my opinion it is the easiest way to accomplish the seemingly tedious task of finding a company that will best fit your drop ship needs. Gogo Dropship even offers access to their research team to their customers. This is a great feature which ensures a good drop shipping match for your company. I recommend Gogo Dropship.

Don't get discouraged trying to figure out what company to drop ship through; simply sign up for a drop ship directory and let someone help you find a good wholesale supplier.

Some of the larger manufacturers don't allow smaller companies to sell their products thus eliminating the possibility of drop shipping. The smaller manufacturers are easier to work with and are ore likely to provide drop shipping services. Simply contact the company and find out what you need to do to get the ball rolling. Often there is a small charge for drop shipping, some paperwork or both.

There's a third option you can consider. It is not horrible to try and find a supplier on your own, however, it may not work very well to your advantage. It's simply easier and a good idea to find a drop ship directory that has already had good results and has seen a lot of business.

You see, all in all, it is not too difficult to find a drop shipper to fit the needs of your company or someone else's.
