Is "Drop Shipping" What I Need?

[roban]

What you are suggesting is a fulfillment company. You take the orders and they ship. This would be fine if you were dealing with multiple orders but with only 2 or 3 per week you'd save by doing this yourself. You might look into FedEx to pick up at your house.

Roban is correct. Drop shipping is when you have your vendor or manfacturer ship directly to your customer but with your return address on the label so it appears to have come from you. What you described in option 2 is using a fulfilment center.

Regards to option 1, again Roban is correct. Not only will FedEx pick up from your facility, but so will UPS and DHL.

By the way, you mentioned 3 options. What's the third.

Roban and KenRyan offered some solid advice. I would like to give you something else solid, but completely different so that you have many options to choose from.

You mentioned drop shipping your products. Currently, you're shipping about 2 or 3 boxes per week, which is not that much. If you were able to sell more and have FedEx pick up your shipments once a week, then you would greatly increase your efficiency and profits. The question is how to sale more.

This is where you can become a drop shipper. You find some quality resellers to sell your product for you, and then you ship your product every week to whomever bought it. In this way, you can have multiple people selling and pushing your product, while you hold the inventory and ship it out once a week with FedEx. This way you don't have to consistently drive to the post office.
