For those of us who are doing dropshipping, where is the best place to find reliable dropshippers?

[bammer]

may i just clarify please.... are dropshippers same as shipping providers? whats the span and scope of their coverage?

Hey bammer -
A dropshipper is someone who ships products in your behalf - so, you can hookup with a wholesaler or distributor who "dropships" - and sell their inventory without having to stock it, or buy it in advance - when you get an order, you submit it to them, and they "dropship" it for you, to your customer.

"Blind Drop Ship" is the same thing, but adds value because the dropshipper puts a packing slip in the package with YOUR company name, phone #, etc ... so it really looks as if you shipped the product directly to the customer, when it really came from the distributor.

Thanks - pls. spread the word about these forums!

Hi, I saw you were looking for drop shippers and I would like to draw your attention to US Unlocked. I recently launched this service. Ever since the launch we are successfully shipping to EU countries and we are now preparing to start shipping to the Middle East in 2 months from now.
Our customers like us for our shipping rates that are the lowest around and the fact that we include import duties and VAT in the price. This means that customers know beforehand what their total cost is without any surprises afterwards.
For those (and there are many) that like to shop on websites where an American credit card is required we offer a virtual US debit card with US billing address.
Right now, we are developing US Unlocked for US merchants.

I invite you to have a look and would be delighted with any feedback.

Best regards,
Linda Hemerik

Linda, congratulations, you seem to have developed a great service, but you need to be careful that in your zeal to get the word out about your new business you don't send out false advertising.

You are a shipping service, not a drop-shipping resource. You offer European consumers the ability to make online purchases from US based businesses and have them shipped overseas, you do not have products that a business owner can sell and then have you drop-ship to the consumer.

Yes and the merchant who wants to cater to European customers, can ship his products to us, even if they are coming directly from his supplier and we will take care of the rest. Technically not a 100% drop shipping, you are right. Still a great opportunity that enable the smaller merchant to keep up with the likes of Saks and Zappos that are now shipping overseas.

It all depends on what type of products you are looking to dropship. There are thousands of dropshippers-very few are legitimate. See my site Dropshippingsecrets for some, I am updating it asap. I also know plenty with specific themed products, let me know what you are looking for.
