7Angela7 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Does anybody do this? How do you work this out? I have somebody who is inquiring on drop shipping, but I don't know what to say. My thought is that it would be an extra service, and an additional fee would be involved. What do you guys think about this?Thanks for the help!

awickedscent Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Basically what it is is that you act like their wherehouse. Where as the customer places an order with them. They place an order with you and you ship to their customer. Larger companies like Sharper Image drop ship for Bose and large expensive items.

BizzyBs Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I have a company selling my products and do a dropship setup with them. They take the orders and then place the order with me. I then ship out the orders to their customers. The company gets a discount on price, but not as much as wholesale. Works out well and helps get your company name out there, as all of the products shipped out have my name and contact info on it. I'd actually like to try to do more of them!

7Angela7 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Does the company pay you as they place the order, or do you bill them either weekly or monthly? Is there a contract for this type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizzyBs Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 They place the order on my site, just like any other customer, except they have a special discount code they enter to get their percentage off. So, they pay as they order from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
