Buying Dropship Online Products Wholesale

Does a reliable drop ship directory really exist?

Well . . . yes. But a reliable wholesale supplier list is only as reliable as it serves your needs. There are legitimate wholesale directories listing drop ship companies and wholesale sources for eBay products suppliers. Personally, I like Salehoo. I’m a member myself and think it does a pretty good job with its supplier list as well as offering a wide range of services. I catch some flak on this blog from people who think that Salehoo is a scam or from disgruntled members who have some other beef. Salehoo does require work. You do–in my opinion–have to work the supplier list, and I think it is also important to work the forum in order to get the most out of Salehoo.

You can’t join Salehoo or any other online wholesale supplier membership and expect money to fall into your lap. Ultimately, the results you get are only as good as the effort you put into the resources available.

There are zillions of lists for sale on the Internet, and you can take your chances. In my opinion, the online dropship wholesale membership resources, such as Salehoo or wholesale101 are really helpful because you can network and share information with other members. The product suppliers listed are generally updated, and you can always get fresh feedback from the other members and site owners.

I have to say, I think it is incredibly easy to find drop ship companies, wholesale distributors, and other product sources for home business and eBay products suppliers.

However, if you are seeking a list of true wholesalers who also offer dropship services, you may need to be prepared to spend the time on due diligence. Finding real wholesalers is not difficult and even finding drop ship companies is not much of a challange. However, locating a premade list of vast numbers of true wholesalers who can reliably accomodate your dropshipping needs may be a different matter.

Dropshipping is often a service that you negotiate or request from a wholesaler, not something that is an advertised feature, and certainly not something that would necessarily ever be promoted to the public at large. Remember, real wholesalers focus their promotion on professional retailers and are not concerned about advertising to the general public. Although the amount of money spent over the Internet may run well into the billion dollar zone, the amount of money made in Internet retail ecommerce is still relatively small compared to brick and morter retail.

Elsewhere on this site, I’ve provided short lists of dropship aggregators. These are generally retail businesses who themselves stock huge numbers of products for dropshipping or broker goods from true wholesale distributors. Using the example of Salehoo, that membership does list true wholesalers who also dropship, but you will also find many other discount businesses offering dropship services, and these can be of use, particularly if you are selling at flea markets or from your own online ecommerce site.

Personally, I think the best way to locate a supplier is to start with a product. To my way of thinking, it is much easier to find a supplier if you know what it is you want to sell. However, if you are having trouble with that or generally just having trouble breaking through to the other side of product supply, a wholesale list, perferably an online membership, can be a real advantage.
