If you are looking into starting a eCommerce web site, you may have seen many experts on the web who talk about drop shipments. Drop shipping is not new, it dates back to the days of early mail-order, but it has found even larger success with the advent of Internet eCommerce.
When you work with drop shipments, your customer buys the product from you, and you then turn around and order it from a wholesaler who will then process and ship the order on your behalf. The customer receives the order with your company's name on the box, and has no idea that the shipment actually came from somewhere else.
This technique is popular because a retailer can get started with little upfront investment, and can test new products with low risk. No online retailer wants to be stuck with inventory that does not sell - drop shipments remove this risk, as you only buy products from your vendors as they are sold.
Drop shipping is also a good way for an established online store to supplement their offerings with an expanded line of products. It costs very little to expand into a product accessory line as a test - if the drop shipped products sell, it may make sense to actually stock them physically.
Some eCommerce retailers stock no products - they rely soley on a good drop ship supplier to fulfill their orders. If you take this route, use a good product sourcing directory to find reputable drop shippers who will give good customer service.
