Picking a Drop Shipper
Before you start working with a drop shipper, go through the order process yourself from a customer’s point of view. It's important to see how easy it is to order the product, how long it takes to ship, and how the drop shipper deals with any returns or problems.
Ask potential drop shippers how they will notify you of their in-stock levels for each product. If you sell an item to a customer but the drop shipper has gone out of stock, this can cause a huge dilemma for you and create angry customers.
This will also give you the chance to also see the quality of the product. Make sure the products are at the level of quality you’ll be proud to offer your customers. In some cases, dropshippers will be willing to send you a complimentary product for evaluation or at least sell it to you at their cost
If you are into a niche and have used other products that are similar, you can test the product yourself. Use it, study it, and see if it does what is promised. Is it made of quality material or ingredients? Check the reviews of others online to see if your experience matches up.
If you’re not into the niche, have a friend or family member try the product. Also do your research by thoroughly checking online reviews, and forums in that niche to see any comments from users, and any related Facebook groups. Knowing the product will also help you sell it, making your marketing that much more authentic and effective.
