Drop ship companies

[fifthdigit]

At present the lifetime membership to interdropship.com is only US$19.95.
(13 Apr.06)

I found this website http://www.interdropship.com/ via google and it seems to have a good selection of drop shippers with no fees and they constantly update them.
They offer a lifetime membership for only $US2.95 and you have access to their list and you can even have your own favourite listing. Not bad for 2.95 I was impressed
Once you get into their system you are in for good.

Hi,
I am an active ebay seller for about 2 years now. Originally I am from Belgium but I live currently in the US. I have bank accounts here in USA and an account in Belgium.
I am currently looking for good drop-ship companies located in Europe because shipping goods to my European clients from USA can be expensive.
Any good suggestions as where to find good/reliable European drop-shippers?
Thanks.

Please visit my webpage for information on dropshipping. I purchased this same program and yes it was expensive but it's a real deal program. Once you purchase it and log in you'll see what I'm talking about. They update it all the time and personally test the drop shippers before they approve them to be on the site. You really can't go wrong. You can check with BBB.org and also http://ripoffreport.com/ to check on ANY COMPANY YOU'RE LEARY of. I seen someone mentioned MegaGoods.com ... DON'T DO IT.... Also, netdropshipper.com is the same.. no cust service and they will try to take your money and never ship anything to your customers.. Any company that claims to be a true wholesaler and doesn't ask for a tax id # is a MIDDLE MAN. Getting that tax ID cost me $10 which was spent on registering a company name here in my county.. My state (Michigan) doesn't let you file for the Sales Tax License online so it took forever. I do know that there are alot of states that let you do it online which is sooooooooo much quicker than snail mail. Then you fill out the forms for your state and they'll send you a Sales Tax License.. visit my site at http://www.mousesmilitary.com/dropship.html .. also don't hesitate to email me with any questions you might have.. Even to be sure that this company has a drop shipper for the items you want to sell.. I can look them up and tell you how many companies sell those items.. I've had my encounters with these scam artists online and I hope that I can help at least ONE person to find the TRUE dropshipper list. This will save you lot's of time and money TRUST ME!! Look forward to hearing from anyone with questions!

Your page appears to be an affiliate for WorldWideBrands. Is it?

[mousesmilitary]

It's just a webpage I built for information on dropshipping. If someone reads my webpage I spent time building and actually orders the list why shouldn't I get a little bit of the money they spent? I'm not doing this for the $ at all. Plus all of the questions i've been answering via email take time and effort on my part. I'm just trying to spread the word about WorldWideBrands is all. It's the BEST dropshipping program out there and noone can dispute that. Well, i'm sure someone could or would say some bad things about them but anyone who orders worldwidebrands knows already that their money was well spent and the list is constantly updated and ALL companies are tested first before they actually make the list.

Hopefully this helps you to understand Sarge

Hey All!

I'm new to the forum and the ecommerce world. I'm also new to the real world. Just 19, and pretty much on my own in the process of launching a retail site online.

As far as drop shippers, I've found that reviewing competitors is the best way to find drop shippers for your products! If you don't have much to look for in terms of competitors (lucky for you), then I would really just contact manufacturers and wholesalers/suppliers that may sell the product instead of spending money on drop ship lists that may not even work.

As for me, I dont really have much money to be throwing around, so I'm looking for the most cost effective way to start a site. Keep in mind I have extremely limited html skills, and don't really have the money to hire professionals. Also, I'm most worried about screwing up the legal aspect of all this. So here are a few questions I'll throw out there:

1. What are some worth while ecommerce solutions that will take you through the web site building, shopping cart, traffic analysis, site features like coupons and gift certificates etc. at a good price. (Keep in mind I'm looking for best quality, not cheapest.)

2. What legal info do I need to have taken care of ( I've incorporated and received a tax id) in terms of a certificate of authority to collect sales tax and any other state tax forms to file. Form numbers and names would be great. Keep in mind I'm a NY resident.

Hope i didn't ramble. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated. Thanx.

I understand perfectly. I just wanted to know if yours was an affiliate page.

As you yourself said, I was answering a question for someone and offering a recommendation. Why shouldn't I make something in the process?

All I can say is WOW, am getting overloaded with infomation on how to start an online store from home. So far what I have gleamed is that the business liscens and merchernt accts for credit cards and shopping carts is almost a requement. I do Have my own domain name, no site set up yet. I am trying to find all the infomation I can on setting up and running a store and drop shipping seems to be an option.I have seen alot of the Sites that want to sell you how to start a business online but most seemed fake. I dont believe in "get rich quick" I know anything I set up will not yeld a profit the first year so cuz most goes back into running the company. I do see that most of you out there in the forum suggest the worldbrand books, so I see it as a investment. If any of you out there are in the Apparel business pleas be willing to help me along with mine to come. I have learned a bit just reading a few of the forums. Thank you all

no matter which dropship company you choose make sure to get first hand references. alot of these dropshippers are just scams.

[The Don Namon]

and id say if ur drop shipping then contact manufacturers directly, not drop ship suppliers.. there a difference.. one is a middle man for the other

Hello all,

I want to start by saying how greatful I am of all the great information I've found here. I want to start my own wedding favors ecommerce site and was looking for dropshipping information. Thanks to all for what you have said so far. I have a few questions and a few tips and ideas for you all.

I am a computer programmer and SEO specialist (search engine optimization, which is making a website show at the top of the google, msn, yahoo results when someone searches for your products or services) I do web design, PPC management, and have my own ecommerce software. Please forgive me if this is starting to sould like an ad, which is not, just a background. Now, I think that is a good advantage for me to start selling wedding favors online, my knowledge will help me, but I have not idea of dropshipping, how to set it up, and how much money I need to invest, I will keep reading this forum to learn that part I guess.

Here are my tips.

What you need to be succesful on the internet

-get a good domain name with your product keywords on it, ex. www.wedding-favors-test.com

- get a good web hosting company

- get a reliable and efficient ecommerce site, does not have to be expensive but easy to use and reliable.

- Start small and grow your business as you can afford it, cash flow is important, so start with paypal and then add more ways of payment to your site, same applies for ecommerce site.

- get a good dropshipper ( I need more information on this area)

- get good products that people are looking for and likely would by over the internet.

- Create a good looking and professional web site, do not go cheap here!! also you a professional email address, not @yahoo.com or @hotmail.com something with your company name on it such as [email protected] or something like that.

- Marketting your site, find a reliable, honest and knowledgable SEO expert to help you rank your site as high as possible on google, msn and yahoo. Here are things to be careful with, No one, who is honest, will promise you a top 10 ranking in google, that is impossible, it can happend but it is very hard to be sure. Do not get into 1 year contracts, that is not necessary. SEO is very important to your business, let me explain, what is the point of having a business or web site online if not one will ever find it? do a search for any topic on google, chances are you will find millions of pages, if you are #100 and up, not one will find you! have you ever look at the web site that is at # 1,575,500 ??? no, you have to try to get to top 20, top 10 is best. People who achieve high ranking get the most traffic and the most clients = $$$
Look for an SEO expert on google (trying not to promote my SEO business here)

- Get fast traffic as soon as possible, you can do that by using google's PPC (pay per click) you will only pay when a potential client visits your site.

- Write a few articles about your business and send them to the internet (there are many companies that can help you with that)

- Visit forums and get to know people, tell them about your business, tell your friends, tell your friends to tell their friends, etc.

- Join your local chamber of commers and meet more people and learn from them.

- do not be afraid to ask questions and learn from other.

I forgot a few that I had in mind, sorry for that. If I remember or if you email me I can help you with my SEO and internet marketing experience, do not feel I will try to sell you on my services, I get enough clients through referals and my site, I am truly trying to help, perphaps you will help me with dropshipping and other information I need for my business

That is it for now, I hope it help you all.

By the way, I will be posting free information from what I learn from this forum and other forums on my site, as well as articles about ecommerce, web design, SEO, PPC marketing, etc on my site, http://www.mdz.ca I am in the process of changing my site, so you may see the old version and not all the information yet, but please check later.

If anyone has a good article on dropshipping and would like to share it, I can post it on my site too, please let me know if I can help the forum or anyone.

Thanks

Drop shipping is a legitimate way to start an online biz, i would suggest to you forming an L.L.C. in yoru respective state and going from there, anything claiming "get rich quick" is bogus, any worthwhile, long term money making ventures in online resale takes time, especially with drop shipping, not something you can do overnight, just my tidbit...
