I wanted to touch upon something I think is a pretty good topic considering most of the people I talk with completely forget about it.  When you are dealing with suppliers you need to remember you have options and its not like a marriage, and you are a one dropshipper business.  Your bottom line in business is the profit margin you have.  If you are dealing with a supplier that is making it hard for you to have bigger margins then it may be time to start looking for a new dropshipping company.

Let me give you an example.  For about two years I was using a manufacturer that slowly kept raising thier prices on me until I finally realized I no longer was able to sell my products due to my supplier.  My dropshipping company had taken me for granted and the business I was bringing them.  I had really good traffic to my sites and even better rankings on all major search engines, but no sales and it was all because of pricing.  I even stopped selling on Amazon because the prices were ridiculas. 

I went searching for another dropshipping company that had my products.  I was abe to negotiate easier because I showed them my stats including traffic, rankings and other various analytics, and by the time my conversation was done they were eating out of my hands and wanted me to sell thier products.  I was able to get better pricing on my products then when I first started so many years ago.

SO my point here is to make you aware that even if you are already using supplier companies that dropship you have options and can always find a better deal.
