Dropshipping Products that Sell Online… from China

January 28th, 2009

Hello, Alyssa here!

As you know, dropshipping is a very lucrative business and a great way to make money online.  However, just as Mani just discussed in his latest blog, you need to be careful when sourcing products that sell online, especially when they come from overseas countries such as China.

Considering all the pros and cons of overseas ventures, international suppliers can be profitable to your company, especially if you are looking for rare items, and this included suppliers from China.  However, the main concern that I will talking about today is quality.

Many online newbies who are looking to start their dropshipping business will automatically look for the name brand, popular items in electronics, clothing and accessories as their first choices for products that they want sell online.  Despite these markets being quite crowded, they may still be profitable for some.  However, most of the exclusive name brand products that are easily available through Chinese suppliers, who can dropship the items to your customers, are fakes and replicas of the real thing.

Consider these factors:

  • Refer to Mani’s blog for a list of pros and cons of international dropshippers.
  • Most Chinese suppliers are genuine and willing to do business.
  • BUT, if you are considering purchasing name brand, popular products from Chinese suppliers, you need to assume that they will be replicas or fakes.
  • This will ensure that you do not mislead your customers or come out of the deal empty handed.

I hope this info will help all you internet business owners to approach to purchase of name brand products with caution.

Let me know if there are any questions I can help you with, and thanks for reading!

Over and out.
