    Hi,

    I plan on selling items in the near future that will require importation of raw goods that will then be packaged, labeled and shipped to our customers.

    Now, I’ve heard of some companies that sell in bulk and offer drop shipping (shipping directly to your customers from their warehouse). What is an approximate percentage that they take for the drop shipping service? Is it worth it?

    For those who sell goods online, what scenario is prefered between these two to increase the profit margin?

    Thanks.

    I have a similar plan in my mind and I would really like to know if anyone had an experience with companies like that, both from the seller’s point of view and the Customer’s.
    Thanks

    First of all you have to make a good business plan that how we will work and on which product we will emphasis.you have to search similar kind of company who are already working in this field.

    You are right, first of all you have to make a good and realistic business plan about each and every product you are going to sell.
    Does anyone know any “drop-shipping” company working on the gadgets/electronics business sector?
    Thank you all in advance.
