Drop Shipping

What is Drop Shipping?

Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail businesses, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price, but some retailers earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the retailer.

What are the Benefits of Drop Shipping?

Two significant benefits of drop shipping are the elimination of upfront inventory and a positive cash-flow cycle. A positive cash flow cycle occurs because the seller is paid when the purchase is made. The seller usually pays the wholesaler using a credit card or credit terms. Therefore, there is a period of time in which the seller has the customer's money, but has not yet paid the wholesaler.

Drop shipment can also be an advantage in some transactions since it (can) obscure the actual shipper from the final receiver, thus preserving a middleman's role by preventing direct communication/awareness between the original seller and final buyer, without requiring a middleman to bear the costs/delay in physically taking in the goods, repackaging, relabeling, etc.

Drop shipping also eliminates some duplication of effort since only one warehouse will pick, pack, and ship the product. This approach can reduce total inventory management and shipping costs. These cost reductions can subsequently reduce the price to the consumer.

Are there Risks with Drop Shipping?

Some risks such as backordering may occur when a seller places a shipment request with a wholesaler, but the product is sold out. Backordering may be accompanied by a long wait for a shipment while the wholesaler waits for new products, which may reflect badly on the retailer. A good wholesaler will keep retailers updated, but it is the business owner's job to be aware of the quantities that the wholesaler has available.

Can I do Drop Shipping without your Program? 

Of Course.  I first learned about Drop Shipping over 10 years ago. My ex-husband and I started a Drop Ship business.  We thought it would be an easy way to earn an extra income.  Our problem, we had no one that had been here. No one to "hold our hand" or No one to get advise and help from.
We did it all wrong.  Needless to say it became very stressful, we killed an eBay account with too many negative feedbacks and our business died before we ever made a profit.


I understand the Benefits and Risk of Drop Shipping. I have been there. Now with the training I have learned from DS Domination, I am doing it.  As part of my team, I can help you avoid some of the mistakes I made. I want you to find the same success I have had.  That is why I are taking the time to share this Program.
