Any reselling business owner knows how important it is to establish a good relationship with a trustable and reputed dropship wholesaler. But to find one is not always easy. Here are a few sources and tips that will help you locate a dropshipping company that meets your requirements.
1. Make use of Search Engines
Using search engines is normally the starting place in finding a dropship wholesaler. All you need to do is type in the relevant keyword or key phrase. You may try using some combination when searching like typing “dropshipper”, “dropship company”, “wholesale distributor”, etc. Patience is required because you might have to look through so many links until you find a good offer. Keep in mind that most of the time, the best offer does not come from dropshippers but from middlemen. Therefore, don’t make hasty decisions to avoid disappointments.
2. Post on Forums
Forums can help you with your search. All you need to do is read threads that are posted by some people who give opinions out of their personal experience. To further your search, you may also post your own thread to get helpful responses from the community. For sure, many would be willing to share what they know.
3. Buy an Item at EBay
A competitor in the business won’t definitely give you a hint about his dropship wholesaler. To resolve this, you can purchase an item at EBay. You might find a clue on the label that may lead you to the supplier. If the label displays the supplier’s name but does not contain any return address or other contact details, it means you will have to perform some more intense research until you get what you need.
4. Browse on Classified Ads
Quite often, dropship wholesalers advertise in local and national newspapers. Check classified section regularly (classified ads of popular national newspapers are published online as well).
5. Check on Exhibits and Tradeshows
If online search hasn’t brought the desired results, you might need to do some legwork and check out tradeshows and exhibitions in your area. Though the method is time-consuming and still doesn’t guarantee success, you might meet people who can recommend a trustworthy dropship company or, at least, give you a clue where to search.
6. Search on Dropship Wholesaler Directories
Look for dropship companies from online directories. However, don’t think that all of them are reliable. For sure, there are some that are not legitimate at all. A real dropship wholesaler directory features even those companies that do not have their websites or can’t be found on search engines. They also have lists of products and their prices. This will enable the searcher to make comparisons so he can decide which he will choose.
