STOP Sourcing From China! | Best Alternatives To AliExpress For Dropshipping 2023

In this video, Josh discusses the sustainability of drop shipping using Aliexpress in 2020. He explains the drop shipping process, where the customer places an order and the supplier processes and sends the product directly to the consumer. Josh emphasizes the importance of micro branding and customer satisfaction in building a long-term and sustainable business. He suggests that revisiting customers and building a community is crucial to achieving this.

Josh shares some characteristics and drawbacks of using Aliexpress, such as long shipping times, poor communication, and incorrect tracking numbers. However, he offers some solutions to adapt and modify the process to make it more convenient and customer-centric. One way to achieve this is to toggle up to the filter and choose to ship from the United States, which has shorter shipping times. Josh also suggests communicating with the supplier to negotiate the cost per unit or shipping price and seek out other options.

Additionally, Josh introduces other drop shipping options like CJ Drop Shipping and YouDropII. He explains their features, including one-click import, SKU numbers, request new products, product finder, one-click order management and fulfillment, and personalized ECOM manager.

In conclusion, Josh encourages drop shippers to weigh out their options, get out of their comfort zones, and adopt and pivot their business to make it overall better in terms of deliverability and response to the consumer. He invites questions and comments and promotes his free Facebook group, ECOM Masterminds, as well as his Instagram and TikTok accounts.
