Drop-shipping products through Amazon.com?

Posted on Friday, 8th August 2008 by Jeff

Over the years drop-shipping has become the preferred choice for people who want to start an e-commerce store but don’t have the money to purchase in bulk. But how can you be sure that the drop-shipper you’re dealing with is legitimate and won’t rip you off? One drop-shipper that you can trust and that most people don’t know about is actually one of the largest discount retailers on the internet! I’m not talking about buying product through Amazon.com and instructing them to ship the products to your customers with Amazon.com as the seller. In case you didn’t know Amazon.com actually has a business solution called Drop Ship By Amazon. For a small fee Amazon.com will ship any one of their millions of products to your customer with “your name” as the shipper. What’s also great is that the service is FREE and you can use their “Free Super Saver Shipping” option to save money on shipping. My suggestion is to charge your customer about the same price as Amazon.com but charge them for the shipping as well since you get that for free. This way most of your profits are coming from the shipping so it doesn’t look like you’re ripping them off.
