I am searching for drop shippers currently and believe I have found a couple to try. How do I know which drop shipper to use?
I Google every supplier I want to use. Search by their company name and see if there are any mentions of a scam, bad orders or customer complaints.
Google and Bing are of course reputable search engines that may help you learn more about a supplier.
Once you find a drop shipper you like, you can see if they have been reviewed on the forum. You may even want to start a thread saying "has anyone used X company before?"
Awesome tips on drop shipping on this thread!
Thanks everyone for the tips. I may be back with a new thread asking about specific drop shippers shortly. :)
