How to Choose a Drop Shipping Company

Drop ship companies are responsible for shipping a product that you are selling. You as a merchandiser pick the drop ship company and deem them responsible for sending your items. You are responsible for taking the order and the money and then sending that information onto the drop shipping company. 

1. Research the Internet and find out anything and everything about a drop shipping company. If you are new to selling a product then that means you will want to find the best company to help ship your items. Find out all the information you can before you even sign up for a business like this.


2. Check the availability and quality of your drop ship company. You want to work with a company that provides the best service to their customers. Take the time to meet with several local drop ship companies to get the best feel for their customer service. If you are not located near a drop ship company then have a friend or relative do some on sight investigation for you.


3. Order a sample product from your chosen drop ship company. The best way to tell if your drop shipping company is legitimate is to test them out on your own. You also have the chance to test the product and make sure it is something you will stand behind 100%.


4. See what kind of agreement you can make with them. Check out their company policy on issues such as bad products and back ordering. You need a drop ship company that will work with you and make customers come back for more product. Do not sign anything until you have read over the fine print.
