What is Dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a process of selling products without having to stock any overhead. You would sell the merchandise at a cost you would determine. After the customer pays you for the item, you would pay the supplier their price and send them your customer details. They ship the product out to the customer, and the difference between your price and the Drop Shippers price is your profit, all to keep!

How Does Drop Shipping Actually Work?

Let's say you purchase an item from a dropshipping site for £20.00. You would sell that item for a price determined by you, let's use £35.00 plus £4.50 shipping for an example. After you collect the payment of £39.50 from the customer and their mailing address, you would forward the £20.00 plus £4.50 shipping to the supplier, and keep the £15.00 as profit, never having to touch the Product, as the Drop shipper ships it out to the customer.

This type of arrangement is extremely beneficial to both yourself, and the Drop Shipping Company. The Dropship company does not have to open a storefront, or hire sales people to sell their products, as that is the role of the Drop Shipper.

You, as the resellerr, have a way to earn some spare money, having no start-up costs, no overhead, no packaging costs or headaches, and can create an extremely useful relationship with the supplier.
