Advice on starting a drop shipping business


0

I want to start a drop shipping online shop. The products can be anything that could be profitable.

I'm thinking about stuff like:

  • Latex clothing
  • Toys for children
  • Japanese electronics like rice cookers

My questions:

  • Any general advice on drop shipping?
  • Is there a list of reliable drop shippers?
  • What if, for example, the product doesn't arrive or the customer claims to have not received it?

Thank you for your time.

This is the most popular website I know for finding good drop shipping partners.

It is recommended in 4 Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris - which would be a good book for you to read. It has a couple sections about setting up an online business that uses drop shippers.

Matthew Carroll's answer to the following question on Quora contains a treasure-trove of information about drop shipping: Zappos started with drop shipping. Is this the best way to bootstrap an E-commerce company?
