Having the ability to sell another company’s products on the Internet without having to worry about the accounting, inventory, and shipping of the products is a great way to grow an online retail business with minimal resources. This idea that I am referring to is the process of drop shipping.
When you are setup to drop ship another company’s products the process is simple - you receive the order from your buyer, relay the order information back to the manufacturer or distributor and they will handle the rest. Once they receive the information from you, they will then process the order and ship it out to your customer for you. All you have to do is get the sale, collect the money and pay the drop shipper your agreed amount for the product.
Now, there are a few ways in which you can to start drop shipping another company’s products. For the purpose of this article, I’m going to talk about the two most common ways to get you started selling immediately.
The first way is to contact a manufacturer or distributor directly and ask to setup a drop shipping account. Most manufacturers and distributors have special pricing for people who wish to drop ship their products. For example, if you contact a distributor of “rocking chairs”, you may find a price for one of their products to be around $250 for retail but for people who wish to drop ship, the price may be $200. This means you could sell their rocking chair at $250 and only pay $200 directly to the distributor, hence earning you $50 off the sale of every chair.
The second way is to search the Internet for the lowest price of a certain product on a website and then markup the price at which you’ll sell the product from there.
