Drop shipping is a fulfillment model that allows you to buy products individually from a wholesaler and ship them directly to your customer.

Drop shipping is a great model for beginners looking to start an online business without holding inventory. It’s crucial, however, to choose reliable suppliers and ensure good customer service to build trust. While it offers flexibility and low upfront costs, it requires careful planning, including selecting the right niche and effectively marketing your store. For anyone starting out, I recommend researching and testing different platforms to find the best fit for your goals.

Drop shipping is like running an online store without needing to keep stock. You sell products through your store, but instead of storing and shipping them yourself, you partner with a supplier who handles that part. When a customer orders something, you forward the order to the supplier, and they ship it directly to the customer. It’s a low-risk way to start an online business since you don’t need to invest in inventory upfront, but you’ll need to find reliable suppliers to keep your customers happy!
