Hello guys,
hope I've put this in the right forum section, anyway... My name is Maks, I'm 18 years old guy from Europe and I'm trying to get into e-commerce business so I'm here to ask you for some advice and experiences. So basically I found a few good products to sell and I wanna contact Chinese suppliers to drop ship and that's why I'm asking this. I'm gonna open a progress thread to tell more about the whole thing but this is what I worry about the most itm. Here's to the question:
Do you think getting a drop ship deal with Chinese supplier is a Good/bad idea?
Let's say I find a supplier on Alibaba or Ebay and send him a PM if he'd be willing to dropship for me. I know it's possible on ebay, but I don't know if alibaba's suppliers dropship. What are your experiences with them? Do they package nicely and without some Chinese pictures, are they fast enough with shipping, etc. I read that I should stay away from Chinese suppliers but on the other hand some guys say they are okay. I might be asking too much since probably depends from supplier to supplier but I'm curious in general.
Another thing that I can't figure out is like how can they ship some items on ebay for free? Like I see a knife for $2 and free shipping. How is this possible that they offer free shipping? Normally if I wanna send a package from EU to let's say Pakistan or even EU it's costs me a fortune and eats my margins alive.
Any help'd be really appreciated!
