    Default legit dropshippers?

    How can I find legit dropshipping companies? I have found many websites but most of them require you to give credit card info or pay a subscription fee to look at all the dropshipping companies.

    I have been looking into creating a drop shipping company with my brother to make some extra money for some project cars. We would love to do a car part dropshipper but the niche is very competitive. We love cars and anything to do with cars, familiar with gaming niche, so any ideas of a good low competition niche?

    Thanks for the help

    There is some kind of directory that you can buy i think... Im pretty sure it enables you directly contact the proper department at the brands you want to sell or the sub company that dropshipps.

    Instead of wasting time and money with flooded directories I call the manufacturers directly and have had great response and results.

    will most of them dropship or only do large wholesale orders? the items are in the $200-500 range so i would prefer dropshipping.

    Dont use Alibaba or these other scammy companies. Pick up the phone and call them yourself. If you don't have anything to show them such as past work, be ready for a lot to say no. However, all it takes is 1-2 to say yes

    It would probably be more helpful if I already have registered my company and all before I contact them I would assume?

    I am not really understanding.

    You want a specific brand.

    There are no drop shippers who carry that brand.

    So either choose another brand or come up with a bunch of money, go direct to the brand and expect to have to do your own purchasing, warehousing and shipping.

    Just like everyone else has said. CALL THE COMPANY! To find legit dropshippers, call the company they can let you know if they drop ship or not or they will direct you to one of there distributors that could help you. Don't be discouraged though if they don't drop ship. I contacted about 20 companies and only 3 drop ship..but this is totally a different market though.
