    Hi All,

    I am starting an online store for a product that I believe will sell relatively well, however rather than buying a load of stock and sitting it in my spare room, I wanted to venture down the drop ship path.

    Has anyone had any experience with drop shipping, in particular with fashion accessories and apparel?

    Does anyone know where I could find potential drop shippers, or is it just best to speak direct to the supplier?

    drop shipping refers to the supplier shipping their goods on your order, to the customer.

    Your post mention you have a good product – so do you mean a warehouse picker/packer/shipper option for that product/s?

    Hi exstatic, I have exactly the same question as you – I know what I want to sell, I just don’t know how to get a decent wholesaler who will dropship it rather than me having to stock it – just until I’m able to order large enough quantities that I can store/post them myself.

    I’d love to hear some ideas if anybody has any.

    I’m not really getting far in trying to find suppliers that others have used, so I’m going to start contacting them myself soon, a daunting task trying to find the good ones.

    Hi Guys

    I am in the process of importing some products from China and much like you are looking for alternate ideas regarding shipping and stocking. One thing I am looking into is using pack and send, have a browse around there website there is a heap of info and they can do exactly what you are looking for. They are a favourite with Ebay sellers. Website is http://www.packsend.com.au let me know your thoughts?

    I’m in the same boat as you and am having real trouble finding a suitable source to dropship. for one of my sites – So much so I have almost given up on the idea.

    Instead of trying to find a dedicated dropseller – have you thought about approaching another online retailer and asking them if they would consider this sort of arrangement?

    PS If anyone knows of an Australian based fishing tackle dropshipper – please Pm me!
