Hi everyone,

I am wondering why MJ De Marco define drop shipping as dumb?

Creating an e-commerce brand respect all the rules of CUL. Dropshipping is just a logistic supply chain system that allow you to build e-commerce brand without big investment at the beginning, so there is no difference with any other brands.
Moreover there is several good quality product made in China that can solve problems of the market.

Thanks,
Florian
