What’s Dropshipping?
Dropshipping Is a Service, Not a Role
You’ll notice that “dropshipper” isn’t one of the players listed in the supply chain. Why? Because any of the three – manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer – can act as a drop shipper!
If a manufacturer is willing to ship its products directly to your customer, it is “dropshipping” on your behalf. Similarly, a retail merchant can offer to dropship, although its pricing won’t be as competitive as a wholesaler’s because it isn’t buying directly from the manufacturer.
Just because someone claims to be a “dropshipper” does not mean you’re getting wholesale pricing. It simply means the company will ship products on your behalf. To get the best pricing, you want to make sure you’re working directly with a legitimate wholesaler or manufacturer, a topic we’ll be covering in-depth in the next chapter.
