Hi members, found this information on the net. I thought we all might profit from it...so here goes:

1. At first, due to the nature of "Online Shopping", the image of website is a good illustration of what kind of service you will get. Pretend to be professional could be tell apart easily. For example, picture's display are very important, buyer need to know what's the exactly item they will get from picture show, if so-called supplier can't show you detailed pictures even copy from elsewhere, could you believe them? a professional website should have their own team to update website regularly to make it based on buyer's benefit, not just looks like professional. Go through it carefully before placing order, I believe you will have answer at once.

2. Dropship getting popular with rapid development of shopping online. Find a reliable wholesaler who can provide dropship service and could be your faithful partner are the most crucial. Helpful and Faithful wholesaler could make your business get twice the result with half the effort, but awful supplier must cause your business ruins suddenly. No need to rush before making decision, Effective communication will help you judge if they have sufficient capability and experience to cooperate with you.

3. Be careful about lowest price. First reason is lowest price always the best attractive trap for buyer, you probably get nothing after paid.

Second, you should be aware you just get what you are pay for. Quality always different although it looks like. Those supplier who can't submit their own pictures become very suspicious. Also judge the postage if reasonable between different supplier.

The last but not the least, extremely low price make those supplier can't afford any extra expense covered by themselves, so it's hardly to offer any after service. But actually the after service is most important especially for retailers, without after service, there is no way to continue business. Oral promises are useless because fact will certify everything.

4. Make sure if they are experienced drop-shipper and how long they have been on this line. Asking few questions and see if they can reply you professionally and solve your query completely as well as respond quickly.

5. To see if they have professional team to provide you service. First of all, they should have their own pictures took by themselves to prove they do have those items in stock. To be a direct supplier, whatever it's big or small, they should have their own photographer at least

They should have professional team for after service. Quality guarantee and return policy is the key to ensure retailer's business going, Hope consumers won't be puzzled by cheap price. The low price may cause they don't have capability to provide professional service for you.
