I gave Shopify dropshipping a try once a while back. I built a site that sold tennis products. I have no interest in tennis myself, but I just picked a niche and used some FU money to fund the Shpoify fees and FB advertising fees. This was, mind you, more of an experiment than something I actually gave a real s*** about. When someone bought a product for let's say $40, I'd buy it from a foreign wholesaler for like $10, and have it shipped to the buyer. Everything was going great, I was making money, but then something started to happen.
I started getting complaints from customers that the products were taking forever to arrive at their door. I overlooked the fact that it takes sometimes over a month for a product to arrive in the states from overseas. I ended up calling it a day and closed up shop.
Personally, I have no real interest in starting it back up. Just hope perhaps some of you can watch out for this pothole or tell me what you would've done differently, or have any similar stories, etc. Thanks.
