    Default Introduction

    Hi everybody,
    I am a new member to your forum, so just wanted to introduce myself.
    I have been in a number of professions in my life and am getting to the stage where I just want to get out of the ratrace and set up an online ecommerce business that can hopefully run itself to a large degree so I can get a bit of time to pursue some of my hobbies and other interests.
    This all sounds wonderful and the more I delve into the realms of wholesalers, dropshippers and 'middlemen' online, the more put off I am.
    However I am not giving up without struggling and I can see from what I have been reading in your forum posts I am not alone in this.
    I am seriously contemplating buying a plane ticket to China to see for myself if it is truely the manufacturing 'factory of the world.'
    I believe if you can find a truely reliable wholesaler, selling genuine products at a fair price, link this to a reputable dropshipper then you are more than halfway there.
    In the od days business was always conducted on a face to face manner, you discussed the deal, shook hands and that was it.
    Why shouldn't we go back to that method?
    Thanks for reading-good luck to you all.

    Hi and welcome!

    No need to be put off, there are a number of good honest TRUE dropshippers. Forget the middlemen, they are just snagging a bit of the profits. And avoid sites that have fees of any sort.

    In addition to dropshipping from China, I'm in the US, but have a partner in Shenzhen who is what you call an "insider" in the electronics industry there, I have also teamed up with a lady in Shenzhen who will do physical inspections of "factories" for people.

    Here is what we almost always find - The "factories", if they are not actual scammers are almost always "trading companies" that hold little, if any inventory and make daily trips to the "markets" to fill their daily orders. Maybe Chinese middlemen?

    I can tell you we do have goods on the shelves and a staff of folks who do Quality Control on the electronics before we ship.

    Dropshipped or Quantity Orders of Personal Electronics with FREE Shipping for Dropships!

    Verify Shenzhen suppliers through a personal visit by us on your behalf! $27.50 gets a visit and a report.

    Default Hearty thanks

    Thank you Pete,
    I take heart in your reply-like I said, I am not giving up.
    I am in the process of designing my websit and have placed 'feelers' into the markets to find potential sellers for the products I am looking for.
    Once I have found someone I think looks reputeable I will contact you to check it out for me. Then we will go with your dropshipping!
    The train is still on track!!!
    Thanks for your encouragement.
    May I ask why you do not have a larger inventory?

    Because we specialize in having goods on the shelf and not running our and buying as needed as most of the Chinese sites do. Most of them keep no inventory and take days to ship. We keep good sellers in stock and ship what we say we have.

    Frankly, right now we are so busy shipping the remanufactured Nintendo DS Lites that we have our hands full. We are at the happy level where we are staying busy and making a profit soing so.
