00:00:00 | 00:00:03 | hey my name is Matt Riley and in this |
00:00:01 | 00:00:05 | video I'm gonna show you how to find |
00:00:03 | 00:00:07 | reliable suppliers for dropshipping and |
00:00:05 | 00:00:08 | without further ado let's just jump |
00:00:07 | 00:00:11 | right into it this is gonna save you a |
00:00:08 | 00:00:13 | ton of time because it takes a while to |
00:00:11 | 00:00:15 | research and find suppliers that are |
00:00:13 | 00:00:17 | actually shipping your products out in a |
00:00:15 | 00:00:20 | timely manner and I'm also going to show |
00:00:17 | 00:00:22 | you how to get the best pricing from all |
00:00:20 | 00:00:25 | these different supplier options and |
00:00:22 | 00:00:28 | which ways are the fastest options I'm |
00:00:25 | 00:00:30 | gonna go over all the ways very quickly |
00:00:28 | 00:00:32 | and there's inefficient ways to find |
00:00:30 | 00:00:35 | suppliers and there's efficient ways to |
00:00:32 | 00:00:37 | find suppliers as well so we're gonna go |
00:00:35 | 00:00:40 | over which ones are better for you to |
00:00:37 | 00:00:42 | use and I'm also going to go over |
00:00:40 | 00:00:44 | supplier agents and I'm gonna go over |
00:00:42 | 00:00:46 | how to actually use them in the best way |
00:00:44 | 00:00:48 | and there's there's a lot of people that |
00:00:46 | 00:00:50 | are actually using them in the wrong way |
00:00:48 | 00:00:52 | so I'm going to teach you how to use |
00:00:50 | 00:00:54 | them more efficiently and just a quick |
00:00:52 | 00:00:56 | side note we are drop shipping so we are |
00:00:54 | 00:00:58 | gonna get longer shipping times and the |
00:00:56 | 00:01:00 | best way to really combat that is to |
00:00:58 | 00:01:03 | have a friendly customer service in |
00:01:00 | 00:01:06 | place because by doing this you're gonna |
00:01:03 | 00:01:07 | be able to you know cover your long |
00:01:06 | 00:01:10 | shipping times your customers aren't |
00:01:07 | 00:01:12 | gonna be as mad and the majority of the |
00:01:10 | 00:01:13 | time they're actually going to be ok |
00:01:12 | 00:01:16 | with it now because there are many |
00:01:13 | 00:01:18 | different options what you will use will |
00:01:16 | 00:01:20 | depend on your current situation so if |
00:01:18 | 00:01:22 | you're getting if you're not getting any |
00:01:20 | 00:01:25 | orders right now and you're getting |
00:01:22 | 00:01:27 | below 20 orders a day you're going to be |
00:01:25 | 00:01:28 | using a different method than if you |
00:01:27 | 00:01:31 | were to be getting if you were getting |
00:01:28 | 00:01:33 | 20 orders or more a day on one specific |
00:01:31 | 00:01:35 | product and then there's another option |
00:01:33 | 00:01:37 | that is potentially better if you're |
00:01:35 | 00:01:39 | getting 200 orders per day so if you're |
00:01:37 | 00:01:41 | getting less than 20 orders per day I |
00:01:39 | 00:01:43 | know a lot of people are looking for a |
00:01:41 | 00:01:46 | supplier agent and they've heard of it |
00:01:43 | 00:01:47 | they want to use it because they think |
00:01:46 | 00:01:49 | that it's a good option and people have |
00:01:47 | 00:01:52 | mentioned it and it is actually a really |
00:01:49 | 00:01:55 | good option but it's not the best option |
00:01:52 | 00:01:57 | when you're not getting orders so if you |
00:01:55 | 00:01:59 | try to look for a supplier agent too |
00:01:57 | 00:02:01 | early they're not gonna want to work |
00:01:59 | 00:02:03 | with you if you're not currently getting |
00:02:01 | 00:02:05 | orders and it's actually really |
00:02:03 | 00:02:07 | important to make sure that you are |
00:02:05 | 00:02:09 | currently getting orders at this time |
00:02:07 | 00:02:11 | and a lot of people have this |
00:02:09 | 00:02:12 | misconception maybe they had a winning |
00:02:11 | 00:02:14 | product in the past |
00:02:12 | 00:02:16 | but they don't currently have a winning |
00:02:14 | 00:02:19 | product as of right now |
00:02:16 | 00:02:21 | well what's gonna happen is these |
00:02:19 | 00:02:24 | supplier agents actually could be really |
00:02:21 | 00:02:26 | good and reliable however you're going |
00:02:24 | 00:02:28 | to ruin any potential future |
00:02:26 | 00:02:30 | relationships with them because they |
00:02:28 | 00:02:31 | know that you're not getting any orders |
00:02:30 | 00:02:33 | per day they're not gonna want to work |
00:02:31 | 00:02:35 | with you and then the next time when you |
00:02:33 | 00:02:37 | try to tok to them and you do actually |
00:02:35 | 00:02:39 | have orders they're still not going to |
00:02:37 | 00:02:42 | prioritize you and another thing is |
00:02:39 | 00:02:44 | you're not going to know which supplier |
00:02:42 | 00:02:46 | agents to reach out to if you don't have |
00:02:44 | 00:02:49 | a winning product and the reason why is |
00:02:46 | 00:02:51 | because and I'm gonna go over this a |
00:02:49 | 00:02:53 | little bit later but some suppliers will |
00:02:51 | 00:02:57 | have easier and cheaper access to |
00:02:53 | 00:02:58 | different products so the supplier agent |
00:02:57 | 00:03:02 | that you're toking to you right now |
00:02:58 | 00:03:03 | might not be the best option if you get |
00:03:02 | 00:03:05 | a different winning product in the |
00:03:03 | 00:03:08 | future and they might be a better option |
00:03:05 | 00:03:10 | on another product so let's go over the |
00:03:08 | 00:03:12 | better ways to do this and option one is |
00:03:10 | 00:03:15 | obviously Aliexpress now I don't use |
00:03:12 | 00:03:17 | over low anymore because DSS is much |
00:03:15 | 00:03:19 | easier to use you can switch suppliers |
00:03:17 | 00:03:22 | easily for your product without |
00:03:19 | 00:03:24 | overriding and having to change the |
00:03:22 | 00:03:27 | product page you can bulk order so you |
00:03:24 | 00:03:29 | can order 2030 products at a time you |
00:03:27 | 00:03:32 | can actually order more but it I'll |
00:03:29 | 00:03:34 | Express will only limit 30 per payment |
00:03:32 | 00:03:39 | at a time although it still is pretty |
00:03:34 | 00:03:41 | fast now the pros for using Aliexpress |
00:03:39 | 00:03:42 | is obviously there's a wide selection of |
00:03:41 | 00:03:44 | products which were you already knew and |
00:03:42 | 00:03:47 | you're your winning products probably |
00:03:44 | 00:03:49 | going to be on here and it's very easy |
00:03:47 | 00:03:52 | to integrate with your Shopify store |
00:03:49 | 00:03:54 | there's a de-esser app you can import |
00:03:52 | 00:03:57 | products you can order products very |
00:03:54 | 00:04:00 | quickly and it's actually faster to |
00:03:57 | 00:04:03 | place your orders if you're getting less |
00:04:00 | 00:04:05 | than 20 per day just because the app |
00:04:03 | 00:04:07 | will automatikally fulfill your |
00:04:05 | 00:04:10 | customers information to Express which |
00:04:07 | 00:04:14 | you already knew and a lot of people say |
00:04:10 | 00:04:16 | that it's more expensive which it it is |
00:04:14 | 00:04:18 | these are middlemen too and a lot of |
00:04:16 | 00:04:20 | them are tiknically dropshippers as |
00:04:18 | 00:04:23 | well and so there's a difference between |
00:04:20 | 00:04:25 | manufacturers and suppliers but the |
00:04:23 | 00:04:26 | manufacturers are the rav people or the |
00:04:25 | 00:04:27 | company that |
00:04:26 | 00:04:29 | makes your products and then the |
00:04:27 | 00:04:32 | suppliers are the ones that actually |
00:04:29 | 00:04:35 | find who those manufacturers are and |
00:04:32 | 00:04:38 | then they're gonna go and list a listing |
00:04:35 | 00:04:39 | on Aliexpress and because they mark up |
00:04:38 | 00:04:42 | the costs you're not gonna get the |
00:04:39 | 00:04:43 | cheapest option but when you're ordering |
00:04:42 | 00:04:45 | in small quantities and you're ordering |
00:04:43 | 00:04:47 | pretty much one by one you're getting |
00:04:45 | 00:04:50 | less than 20 per day this is actually |
00:04:47 | 00:04:53 | usually the cheaper option now the cons |
00:04:50 | 00:04:55 | for using Aliexpress is it's more |
00:04:53 | 00:04:58 | expensive when ordering in bulk now it |
00:04:55 | 00:05:01 | is really slow shipping especially right |
00:04:58 | 00:05:04 | now as a packet is almost dead and |
00:05:01 | 00:05:06 | there's pretty much two to three months |
00:05:04 | 00:05:08 | shipping for now so I would not use a |
00:05:06 | 00:05:11 | packet at the moment normally throughout |
00:05:08 | 00:05:13 | the year a packet is pretty fast and |
00:05:11 | 00:05:15 | they're usually the most reliable right |
00:05:13 | 00:05:16 | now don't use it a lot of orders are |
00:05:15 | 00:05:19 | being stuck and they're just not being |
00:05:16 | 00:05:21 | delivered to their customers now another |
00:05:19 | 00:05:23 | problem with Aliexpress is maybe you've |
00:05:21 | 00:05:25 | already ran into this is some suppliers |
00:05:23 | 00:05:27 | they're just not going to ship your |
00:05:25 | 00:05:29 | order at all and they'll just take your |
00:05:27 | 00:05:32 | money and they're gonna upload fake |
00:05:29 | 00:05:33 | track numbers and it's really it's |
00:05:32 | 00:05:34 | really disappointing but not all |
00:05:33 | 00:05:36 | supplies are like that |
00:05:34 | 00:05:37 | actually most suppliers will actually |
00:05:36 | 00:05:39 | ship out your orders this will happen |
00:05:37 | 00:05:42 | and if this happens to you you can |
00:05:39 | 00:05:44 | actually open a dispute and most of the |
00:05:42 | 00:05:45 | time the majority of time I don't think |
00:05:44 | 00:05:47 | I've ever lost any disputes but |
00:05:45 | 00:05:49 | Aliexpress will actually side with you |
00:05:47 | 00:05:52 | it's also pretty time-consuming to place |
00:05:49 | 00:05:53 | orders if you're at more than 20 orders |
00:05:52 | 00:05:55 | per day another connie's other drop |
00:05:53 | 00:05:59 | shippers can spy on your product so if |
00:05:55 | 00:06:02 | you order a lot of units then it's going |
00:05:59 | 00:06:05 | to show the amount of orders now it |
00:06:02 | 00:06:06 | doesn't really matter unless no one else |
00:06:05 | 00:06:08 | is selling your product because if you |
00:06:06 | 00:06:10 | have a winning product other drop |
00:06:08 | 00:06:11 | shippers are also scaling right now |
00:06:10 | 00:06:13 | which is actually pretty common then it |
00:06:11 | 00:06:16 | doesn't really matter there's already a |
00:06:13 | 00:06:17 | lot of orders on Aliexpress and besides |
00:06:16 | 00:06:21 | the fact you're only gonna be using an |
00:06:17 | 00:06:23 | Express for testing anyway so to combat |
00:06:21 | 00:06:26 | the all the problems that I just |
00:06:23 | 00:06:28 | mentioned I prefer to use suppliers that |
00:06:26 | 00:06:30 | have been open in the year 2017 or |
00:06:28 | 00:06:35 | earlier and the reason why is because |
00:06:30 | 00:06:39 | around 2017 is when drop shipping really |
00:06:35 | 00:06:39 | took a big spike in demand and because |
00:06:39 | 00:06:41 | drop shippers are |
00:06:39 | 00:06:43 | a lot of money a lot of sellers on |
00:06:41 | 00:06:46 | Aliexpress or making money so new |
00:06:43 | 00:06:49 | sellers on Aliexpress wanted to jump in |
00:06:46 | 00:06:52 | and also be a supplier as well I'm not |
00:06:49 | 00:06:55 | saying all suppliers that have been open |
00:06:52 | 00:06:57 | recently are bad it's just that most of |
00:06:55 | 00:06:59 | the ones that have been established for |
00:06:57 | 00:07:02 | a long period of time are more likely to |
00:06:59 | 00:07:05 | be actual companies so 4.5 stars or |
00:07:02 | 00:07:08 | hires usually what I like to look for if |
00:07:05 | 00:07:11 | it's a little bit lower than for 4.5 min |
00:07:08 | 00:07:14 | beats 4.2 or 4.3 maybe they open in 2018 |
00:07:11 | 00:07:16 | it's probably fine I would just message |
00:07:14 | 00:07:19 | them and reach out to them to make sure |
00:07:16 | 00:07:21 | that they're actually there and they |
00:07:19 | 00:07:24 | have a customer support now because a |
00:07:21 | 00:07:25 | packet is dead the more reliable option |
00:07:24 | 00:07:27 | from ordering on Aliexpress is |
00:07:25 | 00:07:29 | Aliexpress standard shipping and the |
00:07:27 | 00:07:31 | shipping items aren't that bad it's |
00:07:29 | 00:07:33 | users gonna take around 3 to 4 weeks |
00:07:31 | 00:07:36 | it's still slow but it is the best |
00:07:33 | 00:07:39 | option for shipping in a timely manner |
00:07:36 | 00:07:41 | for the price most people already know |
00:07:39 | 00:07:44 | this but for the ones that don't you can |
00:07:41 | 00:07:46 | actually sort by shipping from the |
00:07:44 | 00:07:49 | United States if you want to do that so |
00:07:46 | 00:07:51 | there's a toggle right there and it's |
00:07:49 | 00:07:53 | fine to use this if you are shipping to |
00:07:51 | 00:07:55 | the United States only but if you're |
00:07:53 | 00:07:57 | shipping to other countries and |
00:07:55 | 00:07:59 | worldwide the DSR app won't |
00:07:57 | 00:08:01 | automatikally separate the orders from |
00:07:59 | 00:08:02 | different countries so when you go to |
00:08:01 | 00:08:04 | order them you're going to have to |
00:08:02 | 00:08:06 | manually place the orders okay so let's |
00:08:04 | 00:08:09 | go over the next option which is |
00:08:06 | 00:08:11 | overload suppliers now this option is |
00:08:09 | 00:08:14 | it's usually more expensive than |
00:08:11 | 00:08:17 | Aliexpress but what's good about this is |
00:08:14 | 00:08:20 | they will have faster shipping and it's |
00:08:17 | 00:08:22 | a little bit more reliable you're not |
00:08:20 | 00:08:25 | really going to get scammed at all all |
00:08:22 | 00:08:28 | suppliers on there are verified by uber |
00:08:25 | 00:08:29 | Lo and have a good track record usually |
00:08:28 | 00:08:32 | the only problems you're going to run |
00:08:29 | 00:08:34 | into is the cost being too high and you |
00:08:32 | 00:08:36 | might not even find your product on |
00:08:34 | 00:08:40 | there because their product selection |
00:08:36 | 00:08:41 | isn't as wide as Aliexpress is now you |
00:08:40 | 00:08:44 | want to make sure that the supplier is |
00:08:41 | 00:08:46 | verified over the supplier and it's not |
00:08:44 | 00:08:48 | saying it's in Aliexpress |
00:08:46 | 00:08:51 | you can actually see a button there it's |
00:08:48 | 00:08:53 | going to show you or some sort of badge |
00:08:51 | 00:08:55 | saying that it's or below suppliers or |
00:08:53 | 00:08:57 | if it's from aliexpress then there's |
00:08:55 | 00:08:59 | going to be a link and again this is |
00:08:57 | 00:09:00 | easy order processing there's an app |
00:08:59 | 00:09:03 | going to automatikally fulfill your |
00:09:00 | 00:09:06 | orders okay so let's go over option |
00:09:03 | 00:09:09 | number three which is e Parolo and this |
00:09:06 | 00:09:11 | one's actually pretty good and I've |
00:09:09 | 00:09:13 | heard some mixed reviews about this and |
00:09:11 | 00:09:16 | some users had problems with this |
00:09:13 | 00:09:18 | probably like six months ago maybe |
00:09:16 | 00:09:21 | longer than that but since then they've |
00:09:18 | 00:09:23 | improved their logistiks and their |
00:09:21 | 00:09:25 | shipping orders in a timely manner and |
00:09:23 | 00:09:29 | the market prices for the products are |
00:09:25 | 00:09:31 | great at this low order volume and |
00:09:29 | 00:09:33 | you're going to see some products that |
00:09:31 | 00:09:35 | might actually be cheaper than |
00:09:33 | 00:09:38 | Aliexpress some might be a little bit |
00:09:35 | 00:09:40 | more expensive but the good thing about |
00:09:38 | 00:09:43 | this is the shipping options are more |
00:09:40 | 00:09:44 | reliable it's going to save five to |
00:09:43 | 00:09:48 | eight days shipping on their website but |
00:09:44 | 00:09:51 | I wouldn't trust that just give it a |
00:09:48 | 00:09:53 | little bit more breathing room so you |
00:09:51 | 00:09:56 | know your customers are safe and you're |
00:09:53 | 00:09:59 | safe so I would expect about one and a |
00:09:56 | 00:10:01 | half to three weeks to on this probably |
00:09:59 | 00:10:05 | a little bit faster especially for the |
00:10:01 | 00:10:06 | United States and that's still ok you |
00:10:05 | 00:10:08 | that's that's really good actually she's |
00:10:06 | 00:10:12 | pretty good for a drop shipping and |
00:10:08 | 00:10:13 | there's also not that wide of a product |
00:10:12 | 00:10:17 | selection it should be a little bit |
00:10:13 | 00:10:18 | wider than all below suppliers but it's |
00:10:17 | 00:10:20 | a good idea to check to see if your |
00:10:18 | 00:10:22 | winning product or the products that |
00:10:20 | 00:10:24 | you're you are testing are up here on |
00:10:22 | 00:10:27 | ePro Lo and again there's easy order |
00:10:24 | 00:10:30 | processing there's an app so option |
00:10:27 | 00:10:33 | number four CJ drop shipping and this |
00:10:30 | 00:10:35 | one it also has faster shipping one |
00:10:33 | 00:10:37 | point five to three weeks I'd probably |
00:10:35 | 00:10:40 | say well one point five to two weeks |
00:10:37 | 00:10:43 | even and some products have USA shipping |
00:10:40 | 00:10:45 | and the pricing is gonna be cheap too |
00:10:43 | 00:10:47 | for ordering at low volume again you're |
00:10:45 | 00:10:49 | gonna see pretty much the same as e Pro |
00:10:47 | 00:10:50 | low you're gonna see some products that |
00:10:49 | 00:10:52 | are cheaper than Aliexpress you're gonna |
00:10:50 | 00:10:54 | see you're gonna see some products that |
00:10:52 | 00:10:57 | are a little bit more expensive than |
00:10:54 | 00:10:59 | Aliexpress but that's okay because I |
00:10:57 | 00:11:02 | would rather pay a little bit more for |
00:10:59 | 00:11:05 | faster shipping and there's mostly |
00:11:02 | 00:11:07 | positive roos reviews for CJ drop |
00:11:05 | 00:11:07 | shipping especially now I've seen a lot |
00:11:07 | 00:11:10 | of negative |
00:11:07 | 00:11:14 | reviews and I think it just really |
00:11:10 | 00:11:16 | depends on the product and a lot of the |
00:11:14 | 00:11:19 | negative reviews came from the past |
00:11:16 | 00:11:22 | they're a very established company now |
00:11:19 | 00:11:25 | but when I was first introduced to them |
00:11:22 | 00:11:27 | in early 2018 they didn't have proper |
00:11:25 | 00:11:29 | logistiks in place there was a lot of |
00:11:27 | 00:11:32 | users on the platform and they couldn't |
00:11:29 | 00:11:34 | keep up because they didn't have that |
00:11:32 | 00:11:36 | big of a staff but now they do now |
00:11:34 | 00:11:39 | they're a pretty big company and it's |
00:11:36 | 00:11:41 | been a few years since so they should be |
00:11:39 | 00:11:43 | able to ship your products in a timely |
00:11:41 | 00:11:46 | manner and they have actually a pretty |
00:11:43 | 00:11:47 | wide selection of products you're |
00:11:46 | 00:11:50 | probably actually going to find your |
00:11:47 | 00:11:52 | winning product on here as well and even |
00:11:50 | 00:11:55 | if you don't you can actually request a |
00:11:52 | 00:11:58 | product if they don't have it listed and |
00:11:55 | 00:12:00 | it's pretty easy to do that the only |
00:11:58 | 00:12:03 | downside is actually the order |
00:12:00 | 00:12:06 | processing it's easy once you know how |
00:12:03 | 00:12:07 | to do it but at first it may seem a |
00:12:06 | 00:12:09 | little bit complicated there - their |
00:12:07 | 00:12:13 | dashboard I've heard people complain |
00:12:09 | 00:12:15 | about their dashboard and it seems like |
00:12:13 | 00:12:17 | it is but just watch the video tutorials |
00:12:15 | 00:12:20 | and they will have a heavy Chinese |
00:12:17 | 00:12:22 | accent but you should be able to get |
00:12:20 | 00:12:22 | through them and it's it's pretty easy |
00:12:22 | 00:12:25 | to use |
00:12:22 | 00:12:28 | after you know how everything works okay |
00:12:25 | 00:12:31 | so the next option is weo and they |
00:12:28 | 00:12:32 | actually had a horrible service at |
00:12:31 | 00:12:36 | launch and I remember when they first |
00:12:32 | 00:12:39 | launched a lot of people jumped on their |
00:12:36 | 00:12:41 | app a lot of users wanted to ship the |
00:12:39 | 00:12:44 | orders from them and they didn't expect |
00:12:41 | 00:12:46 | this high of a demand so they didn't |
00:12:44 | 00:12:49 | have the staff to cover the amount of |
00:12:46 | 00:12:52 | users ordering for products as well but |
00:12:49 | 00:12:54 | they have improved logistiks as well as |
00:12:52 | 00:12:56 | CJ drop shipping and they have hired |
00:12:54 | 00:12:59 | more staff |
00:12:56 | 00:13:02 | the thing with weo is they claim to have |
00:12:59 | 00:13:04 | no mlq which is a minimum order quantity |
00:13:02 | 00:13:07 | and let's say you're getting maybe just |
00:13:04 | 00:13:09 | one order a day or two orders a day or |
00:13:07 | 00:13:12 | three orders a day they say that that's |
00:13:09 | 00:13:16 | okay but they're going to prioritize |
00:13:12 | 00:13:17 | users with low volume and most suppliers |
00:13:16 | 00:13:20 | will do that but you're you're probably |
00:13:17 | 00:13:21 | not going to see that problem with CJ or |
00:13:20 | 00:13:23 | ypres low |
00:13:21 | 00:13:25 | or Aliexpress or over those suppliers as |
00:13:23 | 00:13:28 | much with we oh you're probably gonna |
00:13:25 | 00:13:32 | see that problem a little bit more and |
00:13:28 | 00:13:34 | you can use them at this stage but it's |
00:13:32 | 00:13:36 | probably a little bit better to use them |
00:13:34 | 00:13:38 | when you're getting 20 or more orders |
00:13:36 | 00:13:40 | per day that way they prioritize you and |
00:13:38 | 00:13:44 | they ship out your orders pretty fast |
00:13:40 | 00:13:47 | they do usually also stik to the common |
00:13:44 | 00:13:50 | market prices and for orders being |
00:13:47 | 00:13:52 | placed at low volume and they usually |
00:13:50 | 00:13:53 | have fester shipping the Aliexpress as |
00:13:52 | 00:13:55 | well okay so let's go over the next |
00:13:53 | 00:13:59 | option and these are two different |
00:13:55 | 00:14:01 | companies you drop e and hyper SKU but |
00:13:59 | 00:14:04 | the thing with these is I believe that |
00:14:01 | 00:14:06 | they're in the same boat as kind of we |
00:14:04 | 00:14:09 | Oh was and CJ dropping drop shipping was |
00:14:06 | 00:14:11 | when they first started because these |
00:14:09 | 00:14:15 | options they're not super popular yet |
00:14:11 | 00:14:19 | and I think they're probably okay to use |
00:14:15 | 00:14:21 | now and what I think will happen is the |
00:14:19 | 00:14:24 | platform is going to have a sudden |
00:14:21 | 00:14:26 | increase in users if they do if they do |
00:14:24 | 00:14:28 | then the staff won't be able to keep up |
00:14:26 | 00:14:30 | for a little bit and it's going to take |
00:14:28 | 00:14:32 | three to six months about for the |
00:14:30 | 00:14:36 | logistiks to be back to normal again so |
00:14:32 | 00:14:38 | you know just watch out and tok to them |
00:14:36 | 00:14:40 | see if they're responding to your |
00:14:38 | 00:14:42 | messages in a timely manner and if they |
00:14:40 | 00:14:45 | are responding to your messages and they |
00:14:42 | 00:14:47 | are shipping your products in a timely |
00:14:45 | 00:14:50 | manner then it's okay to use them but |
00:14:47 | 00:14:52 | you know just be aware of this and these |
00:14:50 | 00:14:54 | options are also a bit more expensive |
00:14:52 | 00:14:56 | they're probably not cheaper than the |
00:14:54 | 00:14:58 | ones I just mentioned but they do have |
00:14:56 | 00:15:00 | fast shipping okay so option number |
00:14:58 | 00:15:04 | seven is actually surprising the ebay |
00:15:00 | 00:15:06 | now I've used eBay before and there are |
00:15:04 | 00:15:10 | some really good things about eBay in |
00:15:06 | 00:15:12 | that they they pretty much ship the |
00:15:10 | 00:15:15 | fastest to the United States because |
00:15:12 | 00:15:16 | they a lot of these sellers are actually |
00:15:15 | 00:15:18 | already in the United States their |
00:15:16 | 00:15:20 | inventories in the United States you're |
00:15:18 | 00:15:21 | still getting pretty decent pricing if |
00:15:20 | 00:15:24 | you can find them some sellers will mark |
00:15:21 | 00:15:26 | out the price like crazy but you're most |
00:15:24 | 00:15:30 | likely going to get a decent price for a |
00:15:26 | 00:15:32 | low order volume it's pretty reliable to |
00:15:30 | 00:15:34 | just make sure that you're looking at |
00:15:32 | 00:15:37 | the solar feedback 95% positive |
00:15:34 | 00:15:39 | back score or higher is usually good to |
00:15:37 | 00:15:42 | look at there's no automatik ordering |
00:15:39 | 00:15:44 | and I've used drop a five before and |
00:15:42 | 00:15:46 | there were some glitches in the system I |
00:15:44 | 00:15:48 | don't use drama fight anymore because I |
00:15:46 | 00:15:52 | just used the aesir's or I used a |
00:15:48 | 00:15:54 | supplier agent but for drop a fight you |
00:15:52 | 00:15:56 | can check to see if they will |
00:15:54 | 00:15:58 | automatikally order your products right |
00:15:56 | 00:15:59 | now when I was using eBay it was more so |
00:15:58 | 00:16:01 | for testing and you would have to |
00:15:59 | 00:16:03 | manually place the orders in put all of |
00:16:01 | 00:16:05 | your customers information and so it's |
00:16:03 | 00:16:06 | not really a good way to scale it's just |
00:16:05 | 00:16:08 | a good option for when you're getting |
00:16:06 | 00:16:11 | less than twenty orders per day so in |
00:16:08 | 00:16:13 | summary if you are at this stage you |
00:16:11 | 00:16:14 | first you want to find a product that's |
00:16:13 | 00:16:16 | making you twenty orders per day that's |
00:16:14 | 00:16:18 | your number one goal you want to you |
00:16:16 | 00:16:21 | want to get to that twenty orders per |
00:16:18 | 00:16:22 | day on one specific product okay that |
00:16:21 | 00:16:24 | way you can move on to the next step |
00:16:22 | 00:16:25 | which I'm going to tok about how you |
00:16:24 | 00:16:28 | can get cheaper options and faster |
00:16:25 | 00:16:30 | options before then as you are testing |
00:16:28 | 00:16:32 | products because you're gonna get you |
00:16:30 | 00:16:34 | know one order a day here you're gonna |
00:16:32 | 00:16:37 | get one two three maybe even five orders |
00:16:34 | 00:16:39 | so I would check to see if your product |
00:16:37 | 00:16:42 | is on these platforms and the ones I |
00:16:39 | 00:16:46 | highlight are usually the top three to |
00:16:42 | 00:16:49 | go twos because of the fastest options |
00:16:46 | 00:16:51 | and for the price and then you could you |
00:16:49 | 00:16:53 | could try the other options as well and |
00:16:51 | 00:16:56 | their services are going to be different |
00:16:53 | 00:16:59 | there are obviously not every single |
00:16:56 | 00:17:02 | platform is going to have a 100% user |
00:16:59 | 00:17:04 | feedback score there's going to be a |
00:17:02 | 00:17:06 | couple complaints here in that there and |
00:17:04 | 00:17:08 | if you have used one of these I know |
00:17:06 | 00:17:10 | everyone's used Aliexpress but if you |
00:17:08 | 00:17:13 | use some of the other ones feel free to |
00:17:10 | 00:17:15 | leave a comment below to let us know |
00:17:13 | 00:17:18 | what your experience was with these and |
00:17:15 | 00:17:20 | then the comments below are going to |
00:17:18 | 00:17:23 | help other people make a decision as |
00:17:20 | 00:17:26 | well but more than likely these three |
00:17:23 | 00:17:27 | are probably the best options while |
00:17:26 | 00:17:29 | you're testing okay so if you're getting |
00:17:27 | 00:17:31 | more than twenty orders per day |
00:17:29 | 00:17:35 | currently and this needs to be on one |
00:17:31 | 00:17:37 | specific product the most the |
00:17:35 | 00:17:39 | inefficient way to go about this is |
00:17:37 | 00:17:42 | obviously ordering one by one on an app |
00:17:39 | 00:17:45 | like the ones I just mentioned above so |
00:17:42 | 00:17:48 | the best option by far this is by far is |
00:17:45 | 00:17:50 | to get a supplier agent now |
00:17:48 | 00:17:51 | and you don't want to move on to the |
00:17:50 | 00:17:53 | step if you're not getting 20 or more |
00:17:51 | 00:17:55 | orders per day you don't want your |
00:17:53 | 00:17:57 | supplier agent to prioritize you less so |
00:17:55 | 00:17:58 | like I said earlier there's a difference |
00:17:57 | 00:18:00 | between the supplier and the |
00:17:58 | 00:18:02 | manufacturer whereas the manufacturer |
00:18:00 | 00:18:04 | makes your products and the supplier |
00:18:02 | 00:18:07 | will find the people who do make your |
00:18:04 | 00:18:09 | products and usually it's because of the |
00:18:07 | 00:18:10 | language barrier and the people who make |
00:18:09 | 00:18:12 | the products aren't actively reaching |
00:18:10 | 00:18:14 | out they're not going to have an |
00:18:12 | 00:18:16 | Aliexpress listing they're too busy |
00:18:14 | 00:18:18 | making products and they're not going to |
00:18:16 | 00:18:21 | find people like you who are the drop |
00:18:18 | 00:18:22 | shippers and so the suppliers are the |
00:18:21 | 00:18:24 | bridge and they're the connection and |
00:18:22 | 00:18:26 | depending on what winning product you |
00:18:24 | 00:18:28 | have each supplier agent is going to be |
00:18:26 | 00:18:29 | different you want to imagine it like |
00:18:28 | 00:18:32 | this let's say I was a supplier agent |
00:18:29 | 00:18:35 | and I had a list of maybe 50 factories |
00:18:32 | 00:18:37 | and you came to me with your winning |
00:18:35 | 00:18:39 | product and who had asked me hey can you |
00:18:37 | 00:18:41 | fulfill 50 orders per day or something |
00:18:39 | 00:18:43 | and there's a couple options I could do |
00:18:41 | 00:18:45 | I could call each one find out which one |
00:18:43 | 00:18:47 | has the best option I could go to a |
00:18:45 | 00:18:49 | Chinese wholesaler option like 1 6 8 8 |
00:18:47 | 00:18:51 | calm or Taobao but you also want to |
00:18:49 | 00:18:54 | imagine I need to take the time to |
00:18:51 | 00:18:56 | actually go through each one so every |
00:18:54 | 00:18:58 | supplier agent is going to be different |
00:18:56 | 00:19:00 | depending on how hard working there are |
00:18:58 | 00:19:02 | are they actually going to take the time |
00:19:00 | 00:19:04 | to look for the best pricing option for |
00:19:02 | 00:19:06 | you or they're just kind of lazy they |
00:19:04 | 00:19:08 | only look at a couple options or maybe |
00:19:06 | 00:19:09 | they have better connections with |
00:19:08 | 00:19:12 | specific factories so let's say |
00:19:09 | 00:19:13 | manufacturer number one manufacturers |
00:19:12 | 00:19:16 | bikinis but they don't manufacture |
00:19:13 | 00:19:17 | medical devices and then manufacturer |
00:19:16 | 00:19:19 | number two is the opposite they don't |
00:19:17 | 00:19:21 | manufacture bikinis at all they're the |
00:19:19 | 00:19:24 | ones who are manufacturing medical |
00:19:21 | 00:19:26 | devices so your supplier agent could |
00:19:24 | 00:19:28 | have a better connection with Factory |
00:19:26 | 00:19:29 | number two versus Factory number one and |
00:19:28 | 00:19:31 | then a different supplier agent could |
00:19:29 | 00:19:33 | have better connections to different |
00:19:31 | 00:19:36 | factories that's why you don't want to |
00:19:33 | 00:19:38 | find a supplier agent before you get 20 |
00:19:36 | 00:19:40 | orders a day and it's better to have |
00:19:38 | 00:19:42 | your winning product first that way you |
00:19:40 | 00:19:44 | can find the best supplier agent for |
00:19:42 | 00:19:46 | your product so there's risky ways to |
00:19:44 | 00:19:48 | get supplier agents and the one of the |
00:19:46 | 00:19:50 | most riskiest ways to do this is to go |
00:19:48 | 00:19:52 | into facebook groups now I'm not saying |
00:19:50 | 00:19:55 | all supplier agents in facebook groups |
00:19:52 | 00:19:57 | are bad but there's a lot of them on |
00:19:55 | 00:19:59 | here who are not actually supplier |
00:19:57 | 00:20:01 | agents and they're just trying to find |
00:19:59 | 00:20:02 | out what your winning product is or |
00:20:01 | 00:20:04 | they're not really good |
00:20:02 | 00:20:06 | at being a supplier agent and in my |
00:20:04 | 00:20:09 | experience I had a so-called supplier |
00:20:06 | 00:20:12 | agent reached out to me through my DMS |
00:20:09 | 00:20:14 | on Facebook and I really wanted my order |
00:20:12 | 00:20:15 | shipped faster I wanted cheaper options |
00:20:14 | 00:20:18 | obviously we all want cheaper and faster |
00:20:15 | 00:20:20 | options and he made all these promises |
00:20:18 | 00:20:22 | like he was gonna get the order shipped |
00:20:20 | 00:20:25 | in five to eight days and so as I was |
00:20:22 | 00:20:27 | toking to him negotiating a deal as it |
00:20:25 | 00:20:29 | got closer and closer to the payment |
00:20:27 | 00:20:31 | option in the payment time he was |
00:20:29 | 00:20:33 | raising the price on me and so last |
00:20:31 | 00:20:35 | minute he raised the price on me but |
00:20:33 | 00:20:37 | because it was still cheaper than my |
00:20:35 | 00:20:38 | current option I still went with him and |
00:20:37 | 00:20:40 | then when he supposedly said he shipped |
00:20:38 | 00:20:42 | the orders none of the tracking numbers |
00:20:40 | 00:20:44 | were working and my customers did not |
00:20:42 | 00:20:46 | get their orders he was also trying to |
00:20:44 | 00:20:49 | get me to do a wire transfer but I |
00:20:46 | 00:20:51 | fought to pay with PayPal and then |
00:20:49 | 00:20:53 | luckily because a lot of the tracking |
00:20:51 | 00:20:54 | numbers were fake I was able to send all |
00:20:53 | 00:20:56 | the proof to PayPal and get my money |
00:20:54 | 00:20:58 | back but the worst part of it all is I |
00:20:56 | 00:21:00 | had several customers waiting weeks and |
00:20:58 | 00:21:02 | weeks for their order and then they I |
00:21:00 | 00:21:03 | had to place a new order with someone |
00:21:02 | 00:21:05 | else and then they had to wait another |
00:21:03 | 00:21:07 | one to two weeks and so that hurt my |
00:21:05 | 00:21:09 | facebook feedback score so anyway just |
00:21:07 | 00:21:11 | be really careful of the ones that you |
00:21:09 | 00:21:12 | see in facebook groups and I would just |
00:21:11 | 00:21:14 | make sure that you know someone that you |
00:21:12 | 00:21:16 | can trust who has actually used them in |
00:21:14 | 00:21:17 | the past then I would probably consider |
00:21:16 | 00:21:19 | ordering from them |
00:21:17 | 00:21:21 | so the next option people can find |
00:21:19 | 00:21:24 | supplier agents from is actually Alibaba |
00:21:21 | 00:21:26 | however in my experience it's really |
00:21:24 | 00:21:28 | time consuming and it's not a hundred |
00:21:26 | 00:21:29 | percent guarantee that you're gonna find |
00:21:28 | 00:21:33 | one because the majority of the |
00:21:29 | 00:21:36 | suppliers on there they don't want to |
00:21:33 | 00:21:39 | ship their orders to one by one they are |
00:21:36 | 00:21:42 | used to getting an order from people on |
00:21:39 | 00:21:44 | Amazon who do the Amazon FBA and so |
00:21:42 | 00:21:46 | they're used to getting a bulk order of |
00:21:44 | 00:21:48 | let's say a thousand pieces at a time in |
00:21:46 | 00:21:50 | and they just have to ship those |
00:21:48 | 00:21:51 | thousand pieces to one location and |
00:21:50 | 00:21:53 | that's it so if they have to go and have |
00:21:51 | 00:21:55 | to ship one by one each order to a |
00:21:53 | 00:21:57 | different address that's not something |
00:21:55 | 00:21:58 | that they're used to so Alibaba is the |
00:21:57 | 00:22:01 | best place to go if you're ordering in |
00:21:58 | 00:22:03 | bulk to one location to a warehouse but |
00:22:01 | 00:22:05 | Aliexpress is the version you want to go |
00:22:03 | 00:22:08 | to when you're drop shipping and you are |
00:22:05 | 00:22:10 | ordering one by one so you can also look |
00:22:08 | 00:22:12 | for supplier agents on Fiverr and just |
00:22:10 | 00:22:14 | search supplier aging you can search |
00:22:12 | 00:22:16 | search sourcing agent you can search |
00:22:14 | 00:22:17 | drop shipping agent |
00:22:16 | 00:22:20 | and again I would probably make sure |
00:22:17 | 00:22:23 | that they're reputable 4.5 stars is a |
00:22:20 | 00:22:25 | good ballpark and 10 plus reviews is |
00:22:23 | 00:22:27 | also good just to make sure multiple |
00:22:25 | 00:22:29 | people have used them in the past and |
00:22:27 | 00:22:31 | have been satisfied with their |
00:22:29 | 00:22:32 | experience the best way and the |
00:22:31 | 00:22:35 | number-one way if you were to take away |
00:22:32 | 00:22:36 | anything from this video this would be |
00:22:35 | 00:22:39 | it and this is actually really really |
00:22:36 | 00:22:41 | important because the best way to find |
00:22:39 | 00:22:43 | one by far is to actually just message |
00:22:41 | 00:22:45 | Aliexpress suppliers and using |
00:22:43 | 00:22:48 | Aliexpress this way is different than |
00:22:45 | 00:22:50 | ordering on Aliexpress is platform but |
00:22:48 | 00:22:52 | here what you're doing is you're |
00:22:50 | 00:22:55 | messaging the suppliers to see if you |
00:22:52 | 00:22:56 | can take your business off Aliexpress |
00:22:55 | 00:22:57 | and then you can send them Excel sheets |
00:22:56 | 00:23:00 | and I'm gonna go over that in just a |
00:22:57 | 00:23:02 | second and this is the best method that |
00:23:00 | 00:23:03 | I highly highly recommend that you do if |
00:23:02 | 00:23:06 | you're getting twenty more orders per |
00:23:03 | 00:23:09 | day is messaging as many suppliers as |
00:23:06 | 00:23:11 | you can for your product so this makes |
00:23:09 | 00:23:12 | it so much easier because when you do |
00:23:11 | 00:23:13 | have a winning product all you need to |
00:23:12 | 00:23:17 | do is just type it in the search bar and |
00:23:13 | 00:23:20 | then open a bunch of tabs and message |
00:23:17 | 00:23:22 | each supplier one by one and this is how |
00:23:20 | 00:23:24 | I found my best suppliers who have |
00:23:22 | 00:23:26 | shipped in a really fast amount of time |
00:23:24 | 00:23:29 | usually will get one to two weeks |
00:23:26 | 00:23:31 | shipping I get a lot cheaper pricing |
00:23:29 | 00:23:33 | than what's listed on the market and on |
00:23:31 | 00:23:35 | Aliexpress and I've developed |
00:23:33 | 00:23:37 | relationships so I've been working with |
00:23:35 | 00:23:39 | suppliers some of my supplier agents for |
00:23:37 | 00:23:41 | over two years now which is actually |
00:23:39 | 00:23:44 | really really cool and it might be time |
00:23:41 | 00:23:46 | consuming to do this but you know once |
00:23:44 | 00:23:47 | you have a winning product you're kind |
00:23:46 | 00:23:50 | of done trying to test products you're |
00:23:47 | 00:23:51 | kind of done trying to optimize your |
00:23:50 | 00:23:54 | store everything's already optimized now |
00:23:51 | 00:23:56 | your time is better used towards finding |
00:23:54 | 00:23:58 | a good supplier and it will be worth it |
00:23:56 | 00:24:00 | in the end you're basically going to get |
00:23:58 | 00:24:01 | your go-to person when you have a |
00:24:00 | 00:24:04 | winning product you will be able to just |
00:24:01 | 00:24:06 | go to this person and say hey can you |
00:24:04 | 00:24:08 | find this product for me I'm getting X |
00:24:06 | 00:24:11 | amount of orders per day now you want to |
00:24:08 | 00:24:13 | DM them directly but you also want to |
00:24:11 | 00:24:14 | try and look at their page to see if |
00:24:13 | 00:24:18 | they maybe have a whatsapp account a |
00:24:14 | 00:24:21 | Skype account a WeChat email really any |
00:24:18 | 00:24:23 | sort of form of contact because some of |
00:24:21 | 00:24:24 | them might not respond to your DMS as |
00:24:23 | 00:24:26 | quickly and they're probably doing |
00:24:24 | 00:24:28 | faster customer service through another |
00:24:26 | 00:24:29 | platform and they might actually end up |
00:24:28 | 00:24:31 | being a good |
00:24:29 | 00:24:35 | and the great thing about the suppliers |
00:24:31 | 00:24:37 | here on Aliexpress is they're not too |
00:24:35 | 00:24:39 | small where they're not just one person |
00:24:37 | 00:24:42 | it's probably either a team or that |
00:24:39 | 00:24:44 | person who you're reaching out to has |
00:24:42 | 00:24:46 | some help and so when they're too small |
00:24:44 | 00:24:48 | they're not gonna have great logistiks |
00:24:46 | 00:24:51 | and the spire agents on here aren't too |
00:24:48 | 00:24:52 | big either and a lot of the ones that |
00:24:51 | 00:24:54 | are too big |
00:24:52 | 00:24:57 | won't have time for you and you'll |
00:24:54 | 00:24:59 | probably start to notike the ones who |
00:24:57 | 00:25:02 | are messaging you back as well and who |
00:24:59 | 00:25:04 | are messaging you back but you but you |
00:25:02 | 00:25:07 | got to imagine let's say somebody posts |
00:25:04 | 00:25:09 | in a Facebook group and a hundred people |
00:25:07 | 00:25:11 | are using them well they're obviously |
00:25:09 | 00:25:13 | going to prioritize out of those hundred |
00:25:11 | 00:25:14 | people the ones that are gonna get the |
00:25:13 | 00:25:16 | most orders so if you're only getting |
00:25:14 | 00:25:17 | twenty thirty orders per day but |
00:25:16 | 00:25:19 | somebody else is getting two hundred |
00:25:17 | 00:25:20 | orders per day you're gonna be low on |
00:25:19 | 00:25:22 | their list they're not gonna respond you |
00:25:20 | 00:25:23 | as fast they're not gonna shift your |
00:25:22 | 00:25:25 | orders you're just not gonna have a good |
00:25:23 | 00:25:28 | time so you kind of want to find a |
00:25:25 | 00:25:30 | supplier where they're not too big not |
00:25:28 | 00:25:32 | too small and you do this just by DMing |
00:25:30 | 00:25:35 | and DMing people so once you do have a |
00:25:32 | 00:25:37 | supplier agent this is how it normally |
00:25:35 | 00:25:38 | will work the first thing that you're |
00:25:37 | 00:25:41 | gonna do is are gonna export your orders |
00:25:38 | 00:25:43 | from Shopify and then you're gonna get a |
00:25:41 | 00:25:45 | CSV file sent to your email most likely |
00:25:43 | 00:25:46 | or just gonna be downloaded immediately |
00:25:45 | 00:25:48 | if you don't have that many orders so on |
00:25:46 | 00:25:50 | the excel file it's gonna show the |
00:25:48 | 00:25:51 | pricing that your customers pay you and |
00:25:50 | 00:25:54 | sometimes if you mark it up really high |
00:25:51 | 00:25:56 | and then your supplier can see that then |
00:25:54 | 00:25:58 | what's gonna happen is they're gonna |
00:25:56 | 00:26:00 | mark up the price on you as well so I |
00:25:58 | 00:26:02 | would hide the pricing and any other |
00:26:00 | 00:26:04 | columns that your supplier doesn't need |
00:26:02 | 00:26:05 | to see but all they really need to see |
00:26:04 | 00:26:08 | is the amount of units that you're |
00:26:05 | 00:26:10 | ordering per order and which address its |
00:26:08 | 00:26:12 | shipping to and sometimes the phone |
00:26:10 | 00:26:15 | number if your customer does provide |
00:26:12 | 00:26:17 | that so step three your supplier is |
00:26:15 | 00:26:19 | going to look at how many units are |
00:26:17 | 00:26:21 | being shipped out per country because |
00:26:19 | 00:26:23 | each country is going to have a |
00:26:21 | 00:26:25 | different shipping price and then |
00:26:23 | 00:26:27 | they're going to give you a total quote |
00:26:25 | 00:26:29 | and you're going to see the quote accept |
00:26:27 | 00:26:30 | it if it's reasonable |
00:26:29 | 00:26:33 | I usually just look at it and divide it |
00:26:30 | 00:26:36 | by the amount of orders and then I what |
00:26:33 | 00:26:39 | I get is the pricing per line and per |
00:26:36 | 00:26:42 | country two on the excel file so I'll |
00:26:39 | 00:26:43 | actually see if all the United States |
00:26:42 | 00:26:45 | orders |
00:26:43 | 00:26:47 | a decent price it's within the margins |
00:26:45 | 00:26:50 | it's cheaper than Aliexpress then that's |
00:26:47 | 00:26:52 | fine if it's if I get a country that |
00:26:50 | 00:26:53 | with super super high shipping costs |
00:26:52 | 00:26:56 | that's what I know I can change the |
00:26:53 | 00:26:59 | shipping settings in Shopify to charge |
00:26:56 | 00:27:02 | higher for shipping for that country so |
00:26:59 | 00:27:03 | for example let's say like Brazil you |
00:27:02 | 00:27:04 | have to pay a little bit extra |
00:27:03 | 00:27:06 | then you're gonna charge a little bit |
00:27:04 | 00:27:08 | extra so your customers from Brazil are |
00:27:06 | 00:27:11 | gonna pay you a little bit more so if |
00:27:08 | 00:27:13 | the price is reasonable don't really |
00:27:11 | 00:27:16 | want to negotiate here unless you have |
00:27:13 | 00:27:18 | another supplier that is actually giving |
00:27:16 | 00:27:20 | you cheaper pricing because if you try |
00:27:18 | 00:27:22 | to negotiate and it backfires then |
00:27:20 | 00:27:23 | you're not gonna be able to negotiate in |
00:27:22 | 00:27:26 | the future so make sure you have that |
00:27:23 | 00:27:28 | actual back-up plan that's the best way |
00:27:26 | 00:27:29 | to negotiate is you actually have a |
00:27:28 | 00:27:31 | truthful back-up plan |
00:27:29 | 00:27:34 | so step 5 is then you're gonna make a |
00:27:31 | 00:27:35 | payment now do not do wire transfers |
00:27:34 | 00:27:38 | especially if you don't trust them you |
00:27:35 | 00:27:41 | want to try to pay through PayPal that's |
00:27:38 | 00:27:43 | the most common way Aliexpress so |
00:27:41 | 00:27:45 | they're going to create a VIP link for |
00:27:43 | 00:27:49 | you and so this is an Aliexpress listing |
00:27:45 | 00:27:51 | and let's say it's an order for $5,000 |
00:27:49 | 00:27:54 | but they're going you just pay the 5000 |
00:27:51 | 00:27:55 | on Aliexpress on their listing and then |
00:27:54 | 00:27:57 | they're gonna ship out all your orders |
00:27:55 | 00:28:00 | from you and this is okay this is very |
00:27:57 | 00:28:02 | common to do or you can pay through not |
00:28:00 | 00:28:04 | Alibaba but Ali pay and the reason why |
00:28:02 | 00:28:06 | you don't want to pay through wire |
00:28:04 | 00:28:08 | transfers is like I shared my story |
00:28:06 | 00:28:10 | earlier what happens is if your spy |
00:28:08 | 00:28:11 | doesn't actually ship out the orders |
00:28:10 | 00:28:13 | then you're not gonna be able to get |
00:28:11 | 00:28:14 | your money back if you do a wire |
00:28:13 | 00:28:17 | transfer |
00:28:14 | 00:28:19 | but PayPal Ali pay Aliexpress you're |
00:28:17 | 00:28:20 | going to have buyer protection that way |
00:28:19 | 00:28:24 | if anything happens you'll be able to |
00:28:20 | 00:28:27 | get your money back so a few days later |
00:28:24 | 00:28:29 | step six your supplier is going to send |
00:28:27 | 00:28:32 | you the CSV file back with the tracking |
00:28:29 | 00:28:33 | information on each line item and then |
00:28:32 | 00:28:36 | you're gonna be able to upload that file |
00:28:33 | 00:28:38 | to Shopify and the way to do this is to |
00:28:36 | 00:28:40 | download the masks fulfill app it's free |
00:28:38 | 00:28:42 | and then your customers are going to be |
00:28:40 | 00:28:43 | notified that your orders are shipped |
00:28:42 | 00:28:45 | automatikally and they're going to be |
00:28:43 | 00:28:47 | able to click on the tracking |
00:28:45 | 00:28:49 | information however some customers |
00:28:47 | 00:28:51 | aren't gonna do this and there's they'll |
00:28:49 | 00:28:53 | still ask you so last thing while you're |
00:28:51 | 00:28:55 | using supplier agents again you don't |
00:28:53 | 00:28:57 | want to be using a packet right now and |
00:28:55 | 00:28:59 | these are some option |
00:28:57 | 00:29:02 | you can ask your supplier agent if |
00:28:59 | 00:29:05 | they're using you an express yawn when a |
00:29:02 | 00:29:06 | SF Express DHL ecommerce and I probably |
00:29:05 | 00:29:09 | pronounced some of those wrong because |
00:29:06 | 00:29:12 | I'm not Chinese or really any special |
00:29:09 | 00:29:14 | line that offers faster shipping you |
00:29:12 | 00:29:16 | want to aim for 9 to 15 days shipping |
00:29:14 | 00:29:19 | realistikally and you want the pricing |
00:29:16 | 00:29:21 | to be still pretty much cheaper than |
00:29:19 | 00:29:24 | Aliexpress and if it's not I would still |
00:29:21 | 00:29:25 | pay a little bit more for the extra |
00:29:24 | 00:29:27 | shipping just because I know this is a |
00:29:25 | 00:29:30 | little bit more secure and it's going to |
00:29:27 | 00:29:32 | be faster but just note that the prices |
00:29:30 | 00:29:34 | are increasing for these pretty much |
00:29:32 | 00:29:36 | almost every single week during this |
00:29:34 | 00:29:40 | time it should go back to normal soon |
00:29:36 | 00:29:42 | after the whole after the whole pandemic |
00:29:40 | 00:29:44 | is over but these are usually still the |
00:29:42 | 00:29:46 | most affordable options based on the |
00:29:44 | 00:29:48 | faster shipping times that you're |
00:29:46 | 00:29:51 | getting now here are some suppliers that |
00:29:48 | 00:29:53 | I wouldn't use and I hear a lot of |
00:29:51 | 00:29:55 | people toking about some of these and |
00:29:53 | 00:29:56 | Silk Road is probably one of the most |
00:29:55 | 00:29:57 | popular ones |
00:29:56 | 00:30:00 | it's not called Silk Road anymore it's |
00:29:57 | 00:30:02 | called Zing's n drop now and I would |
00:30:00 | 00:30:04 | probably never use this because there |
00:30:02 | 00:30:06 | has been a lot of negative reviews and |
00:30:04 | 00:30:09 | they were a brand new company not too |
00:30:06 | 00:30:11 | long ago and they have not improved |
00:30:09 | 00:30:12 | their logistiks at all since then they |
00:30:11 | 00:30:14 | made a lot of bold promises saying they |
00:30:12 | 00:30:18 | can ship two to five days shipping and |
00:30:14 | 00:30:20 | but I've heard a lot of people say their |
00:30:18 | 00:30:24 | orders take months to ship or they just |
00:30:20 | 00:30:26 | never ship at all fulfill Amman is one |
00:30:24 | 00:30:29 | that is flooding the internet and there |
00:30:26 | 00:30:31 | are just fake reviews everywhere so I |
00:30:29 | 00:30:33 | would not trust with Phil man drop hippo |
00:30:31 | 00:30:35 | bang good and gear bests are some other |
00:30:33 | 00:30:37 | options that I've heard and I wouldn't |
00:30:35 | 00:30:38 | use these as well because there's a lot |
00:30:37 | 00:30:41 | of negative reviews on the internet |
00:30:38 | 00:30:43 | Spock it is a really popular one that a |
00:30:41 | 00:30:46 | lot of people are toking about but I |
00:30:43 | 00:30:48 | probably I wouldn't use Spock it just |
00:30:46 | 00:30:52 | because a lot of the other options are |
00:30:48 | 00:30:53 | much better they're not bad but the ones |
00:30:52 | 00:30:56 | that I mentioned earlier during the |
00:30:53 | 00:30:58 | testing phase are much much better Spock |
00:30:56 | 00:31:00 | it is really expensive to use they're |
00:30:58 | 00:31:03 | gonna mock up the cost and on top of |
00:31:00 | 00:31:04 | that there's a monthly fee they do have |
00:31:03 | 00:31:09 | fast shipping to the United States and |
00:31:04 | 00:31:10 | Europe but they're going to be slow |
00:31:09 | 00:31:12 | internationally |
00:31:10 | 00:31:14 | just because a lot of the warehouses are |
00:31:12 | 00:31:15 | in the United States and in Europe and |
00:31:14 | 00:31:18 | you're probably not gonna find your |
00:31:15 | 00:31:20 | winning product on here I've looked at |
00:31:18 | 00:31:23 | the product selection and it's very very |
00:31:20 | 00:31:25 | limited and it's usually just very |
00:31:23 | 00:31:27 | time-consuming and kind of a waste of |
00:31:25 | 00:31:28 | time to go through spa kit Etsy is |
00:31:27 | 00:31:31 | another one that I heard but Etsy is |
00:31:28 | 00:31:32 | also it's pretty expensive and their |
00:31:31 | 00:31:35 | product selection is very limited |
00:31:32 | 00:31:37 | they're not really selling hot drop |
00:31:35 | 00:31:40 | shipping products most of the products |
00:31:37 | 00:31:41 | on here are their custom products that |
00:31:40 | 00:31:44 | people are making at home and they're |
00:31:41 | 00:31:45 | they're not wholesalers a lot of these |
00:31:44 | 00:31:47 | people they're not company they're just |
00:31:45 | 00:31:49 | they're just people so you could |
00:31:47 | 00:31:51 | probably order a couple units per day |
00:31:49 | 00:31:53 | but it's definitely not scalable you're |
00:31:51 | 00:31:56 | not gonna be able to order 20-plus |
00:31:53 | 00:31:57 | orders per day so it's kind of a waste |
00:31:56 | 00:32:00 | of time to go through that seem like |
00:31:57 | 00:32:03 | look through here and Alibaba |
00:32:00 | 00:32:05 | again like I mentioned earlier this is a |
00:32:03 | 00:32:07 | waste of time for dropshipping but |
00:32:05 | 00:32:09 | Alibaba is the best option to use if you |
00:32:07 | 00:32:11 | are ordering in bulk so here are some |
00:32:09 | 00:32:13 | other websites that I found and I |
00:32:11 | 00:32:15 | haven't used these before and I've only |
00:32:13 | 00:32:17 | heard a little bit about them and so |
00:32:15 | 00:32:20 | this is niche drop shipping comm drop |
00:32:17 | 00:32:22 | shipping agents comm 86 steel comm and |
00:32:20 | 00:32:24 | there's probably a little bit more we |
00:32:22 | 00:32:27 | can find agents on a specific website so |
00:32:24 | 00:32:29 | if you've used these before leave again |
00:32:27 | 00:32:30 | leave a comment below to share your |
00:32:29 | 00:32:32 | experience with them so if you're |
00:32:30 | 00:32:34 | getting more than 200 orders per day |
00:32:32 | 00:32:36 | then you want to consider a fulfillment |
00:32:34 | 00:32:38 | center the most popular option is ship |
00:32:36 | 00:32:39 | Bob I know there's a couple other ones |
00:32:38 | 00:32:41 | but this one is probably the most |
00:32:39 | 00:32:44 | reliable or the most popular at least |
00:32:41 | 00:32:47 | and this is when you would order your |
00:32:44 | 00:32:49 | products from Alibaba in bulk now you're |
00:32:47 | 00:32:51 | not really drop shipping anymore so |
00:32:49 | 00:32:53 | you're ordering inventory and what drop |
00:32:51 | 00:32:55 | shipping is is somebody else is really |
00:32:53 | 00:32:57 | shipping your products for you one by |
00:32:55 | 00:32:59 | one but here because you're ordering in |
00:32:57 | 00:32:59 | bulk to your own fulfillment center it's |
00:32:59 | 00:33:01 | different |
00:32:59 | 00:33:03 | really the downside about this because |
00:33:01 | 00:33:05 | you're not drop shipping is you have to |
00:33:03 | 00:33:07 | project your sales volume so that you |
00:33:05 | 00:33:09 | can order in bulk ahead of time |
00:33:07 | 00:33:11 | obviously in the very very beginning |
00:33:09 | 00:33:12 | it's not going to be 2 to 5 days |
00:33:11 | 00:33:14 | shipping because you're gonna have to |
00:33:12 | 00:33:17 | order thousand units to thousand units |
00:33:14 | 00:33:20 | from China still to the United States |
00:33:17 | 00:33:22 | it's going to take 2-3 weeks for those |
00:33:20 | 00:33:24 | thousand units to move countries and |
00:33:22 | 00:33:25 | then when it's stored in your warehouse |
00:33:24 | 00:33:27 | that's when you can do the two to five |
00:33:25 | 00:33:29 | days of shipping but the biggest problem |
00:33:27 | 00:33:31 | here is when you are scaling worldwide |
00:33:29 | 00:33:33 | which is what most drop shippers do when |
00:33:31 | 00:33:35 | they want to make a lot of money is you |
00:33:33 | 00:33:38 | have to keep track of the sales volume |
00:33:35 | 00:33:40 | percentage per country so let's say |
00:33:38 | 00:33:42 | about 50 percent of your orders are |
00:33:40 | 00:33:45 | coming from the United States and then |
00:33:42 | 00:33:47 | maybe 10 percent are coming from |
00:33:45 | 00:33:49 | Australia and then you're still gonna |
00:33:47 | 00:33:51 | have a percentage in each different |
00:33:49 | 00:33:54 | country so you're gonna have to ship |
00:33:51 | 00:33:57 | bulk units to different fulfillment |
00:33:54 | 00:33:59 | centers per country because it's not |
00:33:57 | 00:34:02 | going to be efficient to ship from China |
00:33:59 | 00:34:04 | to the United States and then ship from |
00:34:02 | 00:34:05 | the United States out to different |
00:34:04 | 00:34:08 | countries so there's two options that |
00:34:05 | 00:34:10 | you could do is you can ship different |
00:34:08 | 00:34:12 | unit volumes to different countries per |
00:34:10 | 00:34:13 | percentage what you could do is you |
00:34:12 | 00:34:15 | could ship a bulk order to the United |
00:34:13 | 00:34:16 | States and then ship out orders that are |
00:34:15 | 00:34:18 | going to the United States from the US |
00:34:16 | 00:34:19 | and then all the orders for other |
00:34:18 | 00:34:21 | countries you're gonna ship from China |
00:34:19 | 00:34:23 | so as some of you may know I did |
00:34:21 | 00:34:25 | recently launched my private course and |
00:34:23 | 00:34:27 | here are some results that my students |
00:34:25 | 00:34:29 | have been getting now this is Rex he's |
00:34:27 | 00:34:31 | over 60 years old and he told me that |
00:34:29 | 00:34:34 | navigating through the computer is |
00:34:31 | 00:34:36 | pretty hard for him and that the younger |
00:34:34 | 00:34:38 | generation is more likely to have an |
00:34:36 | 00:34:40 | easier time so you can see that drop |
00:34:38 | 00:34:42 | shipping might be a little bit harder |
00:34:40 | 00:34:46 | for someone his age but he was still |
00:34:42 | 00:34:48 | able to succeed as he hit $40,000 almost |
00:34:46 | 00:34:51 | last month and he's actually passed this |
00:34:48 | 00:34:53 | he's almost at $50,000 this month and |
00:34:51 | 00:34:54 | the months not even over now I know Rex |
00:34:53 | 00:34:57 | is actually taking two drop shipping |
00:34:54 | 00:34:59 | courses before mine and he actually paid |
00:34:57 | 00:35:01 | for a mentorship too but he wasn't |
00:34:59 | 00:35:02 | getting the results that he wanted so as |
00:35:01 | 00:35:05 | you can see after he joined my course |
00:35:02 | 00:35:06 | the results showed for it and then |
00:35:05 | 00:35:08 | here's another one of my students his |
00:35:06 | 00:35:12 | name is shadi and he hit his first |
00:35:08 | 00:35:14 | $3,000 a day and this $15,000 screenshot |
00:35:12 | 00:35:16 | is for the week and he's getting about a |
00:35:14 | 00:35:18 | two point four average return on adspend |
00:35:16 | 00:35:20 | and he actually took multiple |
00:35:18 | 00:35:22 | dropshipping courses a lot of them |
00:35:20 | 00:35:25 | before mine but he wasn't succeeding at |
00:35:22 | 00:35:27 | all and then he's now profiting really |
00:35:25 | 00:35:29 | well and the reason why is because I |
00:35:27 | 00:35:31 | myself have been through tons of |
00:35:29 | 00:35:33 | different drop shipping courses I |
00:35:31 | 00:35:35 | figured out which methods were too slow |
00:35:33 | 00:35:38 | which ones were not that duplicatable |
00:35:35 | 00:35:40 | which ones were really not |
00:35:38 | 00:35:42 | the best options to dropship and the |
00:35:40 | 00:35:43 | reason why is because I've been trying |
00:35:42 | 00:35:45 | to figure out the ways to make money |
00:35:43 | 00:35:47 | fast obviously I want to make money fast |
00:35:45 | 00:35:49 | I'm sure you want to make money fast my |
00:35:47 | 00:35:51 | students want to make money fast so I |
00:35:49 | 00:35:54 | need to teach the fastest ways to make a |
00:35:51 | 00:35:57 | lot of money the easiest ways which ones |
00:35:54 | 00:35:58 | are more likely to work over time and |
00:35:57 | 00:36:01 | which one which methods are more likely |
00:35:58 | 00:36:03 | to work for multiple different people |
00:36:01 | 00:36:06 | that way we know that the teachings are |
00:36:03 | 00:36:07 | duplicatable and so this is Vishal he |
00:36:06 | 00:36:10 | hit his first thousand dollar day with a |
00:36:07 | 00:36:12 | 25 percent profit and then shortly after |
00:36:10 | 00:36:15 | he hit his first two thousand dollar day |
00:36:12 | 00:36:18 | scaling with my advanced methods from |
00:36:15 | 00:36:20 | the course and then shortly after that |
00:36:18 | 00:36:22 | he hit his first three thousand dollar |
00:36:20 | 00:36:25 | day almost if he said it wasn't for that |
00:36:22 | 00:36:27 | one cancelled order and then he |
00:36:25 | 00:36:29 | mentioned a VA video which I go over how |
00:36:27 | 00:36:31 | to cover virtual assistants in the |
00:36:29 | 00:36:32 | course as well and so if you want to |
00:36:31 | 00:36:34 | join my private inner circle you're |
00:36:32 | 00:36:36 | going to have access to a group hosted |
00:36:34 | 00:36:38 | on Facebook with a bunch of other |
00:36:36 | 00:36:40 | successful dropshippers including myself |
00:36:38 | 00:36:42 | and then you're also going to get access |
00:36:40 | 00:36:44 | to the private course and the price may |
00:36:42 | 00:36:46 | increase soon because moderating a |
00:36:44 | 00:36:47 | high-level group does take up a lot of |
00:36:46 | 00:36:49 | time so again if you are interested |
