Yes, starting out as a trader, I think drop shipping is a good solution. Drop shipping is a good way to build up suppliers, customers and experience.

When I first started trading I only used drop shipping and now I have learned how to handle inventory, stock and dealing with wholesalers.

I occasionally drop ship accessory items (headphones i.e.) but I do not think it makes long-term business sense to rely on drop shipping discounts to earn you a profit.
