I hope you guys are excited for this episode because we're gonna be going over a list of over 250 wholesale suppliers- us-based wholesale suppliers- that you can access today for free. that's right, a hundred percent free. I have not told anybody about this secret, so make sure to stay all the way through this video where I'm gonna show you the tricks of the trade and how to filter out these results to best fit your business. also, guys, check down in the description below where I have a link to my new Instagram channel, where I post brand new content every single day- all kinds of drop shipping tips, even some motivation, every single day. make sure to give that a follow without further ado. we're gonna get right into my computer. I'm going to show you the software and the list of suppliers that you guys can use for your own wholesale drop shipping business today. okay, guys, so here we are, inside my computer again. before we get started, make sure to smash that like button- subscribe to the channel, because there's really nobody out there putting out this information like this. so here we are. this is inventory source. I've never really toked about inventory source, and what inventory source is is a automation software that plugs into multi channels. so you can actually plug this into Shopify, Walmart, jet comm, Amazon, eBay- all types of sales channels- and it will connect into your store on whatever platform you're selling. so for the purpose of eBay, this can directly plug into your eBay API and it can monitor the stok and it can also monitor price of your wholesale suppliers. so that's really key is that this tool is a specific tool for wholesale drop shipping and that's really what it specializes in. they do not have really any retail dropship suppliers on here, and that's why I love it so much, because they've carved out kind of a niche in the market and I love wholesale drop serving. so this is the company that I really use a lot up now, one of the things you're probably going to notike if you go to the pricing page. it can be quite expensive. it's based on how many suppliers you want to integrate into. but the good news here for you today is you do not actually have to pay for anything because once you sign up with a free account, you will be given access to their supplier directory, and that means you will be given access so you can see all of the wholesale suppliers that they actually have an integration with, and that unlocks some things that we're gonna go over in a second here. so just make sure to get started. start a new account. you don't need to put in your credit card information- and then, once you're inside with your free account, you're gonna go over to the left-hand side where you'll see the supplier directory. this is the supplier directory page and you'll see it starts out with the default filters as featured and by most popular. now, inventory source obviously wants to push its own aggregator, and that's what us Direct is. that is, a dropship aggregator that inventory source owns themselves, and you really don't want to be dealing with dropship aggregators as I've toked about in the past. the dropship aggregators are mostly just a middleman that makes you pay either a subscription fee or higher dropship fees than if you were to go directly to the wholesale supplier or the manufacturer. so what we're gonna do here is we're gonna kind of filter out the parameters that we want. so the first thing that you'll see on the left hand side is the product catalog, and usually I just do: doesn't matter, you can filter by public category or a public catalog or private catalog. a private catalog would be like a gated wholesale portal that the general public could not see those items. it's obviously better, but again, we don't want to put too many filters into place. right now we have 246- and this is as of April 2020- they have 246 integrations with suppliers. so it's quite a lot, and a lot of other software really don't connect with that many, and you guys probably know from the retail drop serving world that the main ones only connect with a handful- maybe five to ten suppliers and everybody's using them. so with this amount of suppliers that we can integrate with, it really gives us a lot of options when we want to use suppliers that are maybe less known and we can get better profit margins with less competition. that's really what we want to do here. so automation available. I always leave it as default, doesn't matter, but you can filter it by these things such as inventory sync, order routing, shipping tracking, stuff like that. they do have more advanced plans on inventory source that can do auto ordering for you and that's going to be a full integration that you have to pay more for, but it, you know, solves all of your issues from end to end, from the ordering, repricing and stok monitoring, which really covers all your bases. the location, right here I want to filter it by USA because I don't want to be dealing with wholesale suppliers from the UK or Australia, but if you're in those markets, maybe you want to use those suppliers, so you would leave it as is. so we have it located at in the United States and ships to leave as doesn't matter. data feed quality- this would be something that you could really play around with- map pricing, weights, attributes- but again, none of that really matters too much. we're just trying to find some information. we're really in the preliminary steps, the preliminary stages of finding these wholesale suppliers, and what we're gonna do from here is just make a list of potentially viable wholesale suppliers and go directly to their website, and I'm going to show you that in a second. down here there's just the different categories or industries. so if you have a specific niche that you want to sell in, this is what you do- is you come down here and choose one of these niches of general merchandise- home decor, marine products, for example. those would be the specific niches. but we have it filtered right now pretty generally, and we're just going to go through it. so most popular- again, most popular is usually the lowest hanging fruit. so when I see most popular, I usually go the opposite way. you could filter it by least popular. you could also filter it by newest, which could be an interesting little thing to do, because the newest ones would probably mean that there's less other people who are using inventory source that are integrated with them currently. and from here what you do is, let's say, alright, this company looks interesting, superior marketing or oasis supply their a-game in party supply store. you can see exactly how many products- 1,715 is not that many products. but one thing I've learned in this industry, guys, is the number of SKUs or available inventory to dropship is not the most important thing. the most important thing is going to be there: shipping and handling time, their competitive pricing and their return policy. those things are much more important than how many items they have. so if you click here, it will bring up this supplier and you can actually see the SKUs of the products that they sell. and from here you could do more research and put in the UPC's, for example. this company doesn't even have the UPC's listed, but you could put those UPC's on eBay and try to find other sellers we're selling them, giving you proof of concept that somebody else is making sales on these products. and this might be a good supplier to go and get a wholesale contract with and get approved and then resell their products. so there are certain strategies that you can do before actually getti.

8 Best Dropshipping Suppliers for 2023

if you clicked on this video, you're a drop shipper and you're looking for better suppliers to drop ship from. chances are you're already listing on places like ebay, facebook marketplace, amazon or elsewhere, but those are places to list your products on. what are the best sites to drop ship products from? who are the best suppliers to use and why? now, before we break down these specific suppliers and why i recommend them, i want you to understand the importance of using several suppliers right. you don't just want to use one or two and focus solely on one or two, because that's what everybody's doing. chances are, if you look to snipe other people, other people that are listing products on facebook, marketplace or any of these places, they're gonna be using one or two of these suppliers, and so just by using several of them yourself and not building your store solely around one or two, you can diversify your products, obviously increase your margins and prevent yourself from being sniped yourself or at least make it harder for people to do so. the first one is amazon, and amazon's a no-brainer. amazon's the one that the majority of people use when they're first starting and even when they like get more seasoned and they start making sales, they people still list from amazon. okay, there's tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of products or millions of products on amazon. i really don't know. there's a lot. it's a great supplier that obviously is always going to give you refunds, you can rely on their shipping times, that it has relatively fast shipping times and it's just a great overall supplier to use, right? the issue with amazon that's been happening recently is that a lot of people's prime accounts have been suspended, mine included. i actually just got suspended- i think it was like a week and a half ago- and it hadn't happened to me for over 10 000 plus orders and i just got hit with the ban, uh, recently. now i honestly think that that's a good thing. here's why the majority of people use amazon, and so those products actually were pretty saturated and the margins were getting slimmer and slimmer. chances are, if you had a good product on amazon and you actually searched that product into the search bar on facebook marketplace, for example, you would see 30 or 50 or 100 other listings just like yours, with the same exact pictures and relatively the same title, selling for relatively the same price, because everybody is marking up the same and that gives buyers the opportunity to choose from a number of different products obviously decreases the chances that you're gonna make a sale and it's just race to the bottom pricing. but now, since everybody's getting their prime account suspended, it's actually a good thing. it's gonna lower the competition on those products. it's going to increase your margins on those products. obviously, that way you can still use amazon as a supplier. and here's a little secret between you and me: you don't actually need amazon prime to drop ship from amazon. the only products that you specifically need prime to drop ship from amazon are those low priced products where you're solely relying on the fact that amazon's shipping them for free to keep your margins intact. you can still drop ship products that are like 25- i don't know the specific number, but i want to say it's like 25- and get free shipping on amazon- or often sellers will offer free shipping even if you don't have a prime account. so you can sign up for an account, not use prime on it, and still drop ship 95 of amazon products, especially the ones that are over 25, not have to pay the the shipping fee anyway, and then you're- you're still getting relatively fast shipping time. you can still return the products on amazon. you can still list all the products from amazon's catalog. that's a good thing because then you don't ever have to worry about your prime account getting suspended. you really shouldn't be listing those, those cheap products anyway, because the margins aren't that great on those products. if you're marking a 10 product up, uh, with amazon prime, 40 or 50, yeah, you're making 40 percent, but that's forty to fifty percent of ten dollars, whereas if you're listing something for thirty dollars or fifty dollars or a hundred dollars, that percentage is a lot more profit. it's the same margin but it's a lot more profit, money wise in the same exact uh effort on your part for one sale. so that's why you don't necessarily need amazon prime anyway. so even if you're getting suspended, it's totally fine. it's gonna weed out the competition, increase your margins, help you still be able to sell those products as people drop off and start using other suppliers and you can still use them without a prime account. a lot of people are worried about losing, like, their personal prime privileges. but if you get a prime account banned and you sign up for another prime account and you solely use it for personal use, you won't get that, that second account banned. it's only when you sign up for another account, start drop shipping to random addresses, again that they suspend your account. so that's why amazon is still, in my opinion, the number one supplier and the competition for people using it to dropship on facebook, marketplace and sites like ebay is going to significantly go down now that amazon all of a sudden is banning accounts. the second supplier that i recommend is ebay. now, i love ebay. i've been using ebay for probably about a year now as a supplier and it's been phenomenal. you never run into like issues with them, cancelling your orders or issues with them. uh, you know, like suspending accounts, that you're allowed to use your ebay account, the drop ship, just like you're allowed to use an amazon account to drop ship, but not one with amazon prime right. you can still get uh, use ebay and get uh, just like on amazon. you can get tax exempt on ebay as well, so that's also a benefit, although it's a little bit of a slower process in my experience with ebay. um, and there's a lot of great products- practikally all the same products on on amazon are gonna be on ebay- typically not all of them, but a large majority of them for relatively low prices. you can look at all the sold data on ebay. so it's literally going to show you what's selling and what's selling well, and you can list a lot of products like that and literally use the the information that ebay is giving you to find hot products. it's also a very reliable supplier. they're gonna have your back as the buyer. you can always typically return most things in most cases and a lot of sellers on ebay actually drop ship directly from amazon with low margins, which means a lot of the products that you're going to get cheaply on amazon are shipping with the same relative shipping time on ebay at the same relative price and are practikally barely marked up, because the competition on ebay for amazon products is so like neck and neck that the margins are barely there. so you're practikally getting the same products and that that seller is literally drop shipping that product using their own account from amazon. so you're basically ordering an amazon product, amazon prime product, with your ebay account in a lot of ways. so that's the second one. love ebay, use it. the third one is walmart. walmart is a phenomenal supplier for so many reasons. just like amazon and ebay, it has a large amount of products in its catalog that you can obviously use. you can also use, uh, walmart plus, which is basically like amazon prime. the issue with walmart plus is they also do suspend you. now, if you hop into walmart and you start ordering, like you know, thousands of products with your walmart plus account, you're going to lose that account pretty relatively fast. however, i've notiked that if you have several accounts, you can basically use several accounts and just cycle through your pr, like the orders on those accounts, and utilize it that way. so walmart plus is another phenomenal supplier. highly recommend that you use them. and on top of all these, i f

What Is Wholesale Dropshipping & How I Find Wholesale Suppliers

what's up you guys? it's Noah, and welcome back to another video. so I was taking a look at all of my previous videos and I notiked that I made a lot of videos about finding suppliers and just about general wholesale, but I've never actually made a video explaining what exactly is wholesale dropshipping. most people think that wholesale chopped shipping is where you are working with a wholesale company and then they'll drop ship out of your orders to your customers, and well, they're right. but the thing is is that a lot of wholesale suppliers don't actually dropship. the wholesale business is done in large orders. the wholesalers received pallets from manufacturers and from suppliers and they then sell those pallets over to retailers all along the way, and the pallet is just changing hands and it might be broken down here and there, and with these large orders comes even smaller margins, which is why it wouldn't be profitable for these wholesale businesses to go out and hire new people to break open the pallets into single units and then to ship out those single units to your customer. this is why most wholesalers have some form of an moq which states for a minimum order quantity to ensure that any of the retailers that they are working with are going to purchase a certain amount and that the wholesalers will still make money. and this explains why most wholesalers that do offer drop shipping often charge additional charges and have certain fees, such as a dropship fee, to ensure that they are still going to be profitable even though they are not selling you a pallet. and this is where I think most people get confused about wholesale drop shipping. not all wholesalers offer drop shipping, but all wholesalers allow you to actually purchase in bulk, because that's what their business is for. now I can already see someone typing in the comments, but your channel is dedicated to toking about wholesale drop shipping. why are you telling us to do a wholesale dislike, an unsub? drop shipping is a great business model and that's how I started working with wholesalers in the first place. it didn't really have a lot of overhead and it didn't require a lot of capital, making it very easy to actually get started drop shipping with wholesalers. but the very first thing that I would look for when looking for suppliers was: do they offer a job shape program, because that was all that I was looking for. I was looking for: do they allow people to actually drop ship their products? not if they were good quality suppliers. with drop shipping, you don't have to see the item, you don't have to touch the item and the supplier handles everything, which makes it a very appealing business model. but furthermore, what I really use drop shipping for was that you can actually test a product to see if it will sell and then you can purchase in bulk later, getting better margins on items that you know will sell. that's one of the benefits- the wholesale drop shipping and working with a good quality supplier- is that if you have a product that sells well, you can actually order in bulk and work out and negotiate the margin to get better margins for yourself, therefore making more profit. originally, I chose to run my business strictly through drop shipping because I didn't want to hold any inventory, but as my sales grew, I started to order more in bulk. this way, I knew how much I had in supply and I could also send it into Amazon FBA, I can get the buy box and I could also get cheaper shipping. a good example of this would be that I recently got an order for our clock on Amazon, but rather than having to go to my suppliers website and pay for their expensive shipping, I actually had a clock on hand and I was able to get the shipping through Amazon, therefore saving a lot of money and getting more profit for this iving now. I actually didn't order a large inventory for this specific item, but another perk that actually working with wholesalers is that some wholesalers will actually send you some samples of their work. this way you can get a feel for their items, you can know that their items are good quality and they can sign you on as a client or as a retailer for the business. a lot of people who do out to my videos and do get into wholesale drop shipping tend to focus only on the drop shipping part while ignoring the whole set. you can choose to run your business entirely off of drop shipping, because who wants to spend money on inventory before the product actually sells? but if you decide just to do drop shipping, then you are severely limiting your business. in the future. when you are looking for suppliers for your wholesale business, your own gonna be focusing on suppliers that dropship and you're not going to be looking for good quality suppliers for your business. these are some criteria that I have in mind that when looking for a supplier, because when you're looking for a supplier, the most important thing is not that they dropship, but you want to look for do they actually have a good business, do they offer good products and are they going to be a good, trustworthy supplier for you? yes, you still want to look for does the supplier dropship? because that's how we're starting out and building our business. but again, the more important thing is: are they a good supplier? the very first thing that I do when trying to vet a supplier is I look at their website. their website is sort of like a digital representation who they are and we can get really good first impressions from how a company presents themselves on their website. when I'm looking at their website, there are a few things that I look for, but mainly I look for how does the website look? I'll look at the products. this way, I can see how the products look. I can look at the categories. I can also look at do they accept returns. I can look at the shipping. I can look at the photo quality. I can also look at where they're located and there are just so many other little tips and tricks and little things that you can just see on their website to really gauge if they're going to be a good supplier. most importantly, you want to check out the frequently asked questions, because this is where the company is going to address the most important issues that are asked of them and you can really see how they answer them and how they deal with all these questions. after a little bit of vetting around their website, you should get a good sense for what the business presents and what they have to offer. the next thing that I always do is I always check Google, Yelp or I check any other site that offers some reviews on the business. by checking review sites, you're going to get a good sense of what the business is like. you're gonna see some reviews from other retailers who have worked with them, from other customers, and you can just get a really good sense of what this business is like. now, the third thing that I really do- and this kind of goes hand-in-hand with number two- is that I look up their products and I look up their reviews on Amazon, eBay or on other sites that they might sell on. this way, I get to see what customers might think and I also get to see how competitive it is, because I want to know how many people are actually selling their products as well as on Amazon, you can actually see if the products sell well. so it's actually just doing a bunch of these little things to see if a supplier is good, because if a supplier just drop ships, that doesn't generally mean that they are going to be a good supplier. a good supplier is going to be well rounded and you want a thoroughly vetted supplier, not just work with ones that say that they dropship. so what exactly is wholesale drop shipping? the wholesale drop shipping is working with a good supplier that you can rely on that will ship out your orders to your customers. a wholesale drop shipper is a company that you can trust, build a relationship with and potentially grow and build your business with by getting better margins. and, most importantly, a good wholesale supplier will

[Music]. hi there, in this lesson I'll reveal seven tips for getting more traffic to your eBay listings, so that you can capture more interest from buyers and make more sales. tip 1: optimize your title keywords. do not pass by this tip, thinking you have this sorted. title keywords are absolutely vital to getting buyers to your listings. a huge majority of eBay buyers search for what they're looking for instead of browsing through categories, so what they type into the search tool bar has a major effect on whether you get the traffic you need to make a sale. to really make the most of your keywords, focus on using the most relevant keywords first. ensure you are using the best keywords possible by using Tara peeks free title builder, a free app which shows you how effective your keywords are in relation to what people search for. just enter a few words to describe the product you're selling and it will suggest keywords to add and show you examples of other eBay listings you can draw inspiration from. check out the link to this free tool below the video. tip to check your spelling: if you misspell, you won't sell. this is because spelling mistakes will not show up in search results, so you'll reduce the number of people who see your listings by up to 80%. tip 3: enter items specifics when you create your listing. eBay gives recommendations on how to make it easier for buyers to find your listings using keywords in your title description, as well as category recommendations. tip 4: offer free shipping. this helps to shoot you to the top of the search results. tip 5: consider your listings finish time. make sure your listing isn't going to finish at 3 am, when very few people who will be awake to view it. you'll get more visitors when your listings end at popular times, which will increase the chances of your auction ending in a bidding war. perfect for bumping up that final prize. tip 6: put links up to your other items and/or store as much as possible. for example, if you're selling ebook guides, you might list your how to stop smoking forever 1 with a link to your how to lose 10 pounds ebook, as many smokers fear that they will gain weight after quitting smoking. tip 7: price competi. in order to be the number-one seller of your item, you need to price as competitively as possible. in order to do this, you must work out your overall cost involved with selling the item, including buying the item, importing the item, shipping and custom duties, and so on storing the item, listing the item on eBay, then paying the final value fees and shipping the item to your buyer. once you know the real cost, you'll know what your most competitive price can be. after you take your cut now, keep in mind that if you are in a position to undercut other sellers, it doesn't need to be by much at all to get you the sale. and I hope these tips help. my advice is to start implementing them one at a time until you start seeing results. thanks for watching.

FREE List Of Top Wholesale Dropshipping Suppliers | eBay & Shopify Dropshipping

ever wonder where your suppliers are getting their products from, how much they're paying and what you can do as a drop shipper to skip all of the middlemen and buy from the cheapest and best suppliers from the top of the line. those suppliers are called wholesale drop shipping suppliers, and that is exactly what you're going to learn in this video. so quick intro and let's go. what's up. everybody hope you're all enjoying your day today and hopefully now you're going to enjoy it even more. my name is lyron from autods, i'm the content manager and i've also been drop shipping for the last several years and in this video i want to tok to you guys about wholesale drop shipping suppliers. these are the guys who are buying your products or the products that you're selling on your store. they're buying them straight from the manufacturer and they are paying the cheapest price for these products. wholesale suppliers usually sell in huge quantities and us, as drop shippers, we usually do not buy huge quantities and we do not hold any inventory at all. we usually buy just one quantity, or sometimes two when a customer buys more than one, and we ship it directly from the supplier to the end customer. so if the wholesale supplier does not want to ship out one product or two products at a time. how can we work with them, skip the suppliers in the middle and make more profits on ourselves? that's exactly what we are going to go over. so how exactly does this work? first, we know that we have the manufacturer. this is the one who actually creates the product from the start to the finish. then we have the wholesale suppliers, who buy from the manufacturer, and again they buy in large quantities. everything that the manufacturer creates is sold to the wholesale supplier or distributor. then the wholesale supplier sells to retail stores, also in stok- not in huge, large stoks like the wholesale supplier buys from the manufacturer, but still retail stores need to hold stok. that's why we usually, when you go shopping for pretty much anything, there's usually more than one product in stok because they are buying stoks from their manufacturers. then from the retail store, you have the end customer, who goes to the retail store and buys the product, or when your buyers are buying from your store, they are the end customer. so that's how it works. you got the manufacturer, the distributors, the retail stores and the end customers. now many of the suppliers that we are working with while we are drop shipping are actually retail online marketplaces like amazon, aliexpress and so forth, and those online marketplaces are actually buying from the wholesale distributors who are buying from the manufacturer. so now that you have a good idea of how the hierarchy works and what an item goes through, from the point where it gets manufactured all the way until it finishes the whole chain of getting down to the end customer, what can we do as drop shippers to work with wholesale suppliers who, simply put, do not want to work with quantities of one and two? we're going to get to that in just one minute, but before that i want to tok about ebay's drop shipping policy and how that works with wholesale distributors or wholesale suppliers. so here is ebay's drop shipping policy and i took a little snippet from their policy page. dropshipping, also known as product sourcing, is when you buy stok from a supplier and work with them to send items directly to your buyers without ever handling them yourself. all of this we already know as drop shippers. drop shipping, where you fulfill orders directly from a wholesale supplier, is allowed on ebay. remember that if you use drop shipping, you're still responsible for the safe delivery of the item within the time frame stated in your listing for the buyers overall satisfaction with their purchase. that has to do with ebay business policies. we have more than enough content on that, and that is stuff that we already know. but here what i want to show you is that ebay fully supports working with wholesale drop shipping suppliers, so this is a very important thing to note. a lot of people are getting suspended on their ebay accounts. when they first created, they make a couple of mistakes and then they have to start proving a whole bunch of stuff to ebay. one of those things is that you are actually working with wholesale suppliers as drop shippers because we know that they support it. keep this in mind. know that ebay definitely supports working with wholesale drop shipping suppliers. as you know, auto ds has over 25 supported suppliers that you can work with, all fully functional when it comes to price stok monitoring and more, and we also have order fulfillment services. but when it comes to wholesale suppliers, we have two suppliers that you can work with today and, of course, we're always working on adding more. but if you're asking yourself the question, who are these wholesale drop shipping suppliers and how can i start working with them, let's go over those two suppliers that we support today, starting with one of my personal favorites, which is cj drop shipping. now, recently, we released a video and a full blog artikle explaining how to work with cj drop shipping every step of the way, why you want to work with the supplier- besides one of the biggest reasons on them being a wholesale distributor, which ebay does support. so cj dropshipping has free us inventory, which means you can ship out your products from the us to the us and get really fast shipping times. they also have a print on demand service so you can actually offer something that other drop shippers have no idea how to do it, and a lot of customers are buying print-on-demand products so you can customize t-shirts, clothes, necklaces and many other things. now there's so many advantages when it comes to cj drop shipping. i'm not going to go through all of them now, but that is a wholesale distributor where you can even buy stok. once you have a product that is selling well, you can ask cj drop shipping to give you a quote to source these products for you. if the product is only being sold in china and it's selling well for you, simply ask them for a quote. they will tell you how much it's gonna cost to get 50, 100, 200, 300 units to their us warehouse and then you'll be the only person selling it from the us to the us with fast shipping times. you don't need me to tell you what's going to happen to yourselves and profit once that happens. so that's another nice thing that you can get working with cj drop shipping and, on top of everything, again, it is a wholesale drop shipping supplier which, as i've showed you, ebay does support, and you will not have any problems working with the supplier and, of course, integrating it with auto ds for price and stok monitoring and more so. cj drop shipping is the first wholesale drop shipping supplier that i want you guys to know that you should work with as a wholesale distributor. i will leave a link to our cj drop shipping artikle and video right below this video. so go ahead and get started, watch that, implement it and good luck with cj drop shipping. the second supplier that is a wholesale drop shipping supplier that you can work with today that also is supported by auto ds, is china brands. now china brands, similar to cj drop shipping, also has warehouses in the us, so you can ship out your products really quickly to your us audience. not only that, but we have a partnership with china brands, so this partnership is actually going to give you a drop shipping agreement, which is something that ebay may ask for from time to time, or any other selling platform that you're selling on. sometimes you may get a request for some agreement that you have with your suppliers, so that the selling platform that you're selling on can see that you really do have agreements with your suppliers and you're not just adding products from any random suppliers and doing work that they don't want you to do. so, on top of being a wholesale distributor, which ebay supports, having thousands of t.

so there are lists out there of suppliers to use for your drop shipping business, but you need to know how to sort through that list or you might end up with a bad supplier. what's up everyone? paul here from dropshippingtitanscom, where i teach regular people just like you how to start your first successful drop shipping store, and one of the biggest struggles that i see new drop shippers face is the struggle of finding a good supplier to use. now there are a lot of free lists out there, but if you just choose a random supplier from that list, there's a really good chance they're not going to be a good fit for drop shipping or the type of drop shipping that you want to do. so it's better to do this and start on the right foot here. put in the research and the time up front to find the good suppliers. don't worry, in this video i'm going to show you exactly how to do it, so i'll show you the easiest method first. if you're looking to drop ship from other retail websites- what i'm toking about are websites like walmartcom- then i highly recommend that you use a software such as autods. this is what i use and what this will do. this will allow you to quickly list items onto ebay and if the price or stok changes on the retailer's website, it will automatikally change on ebay for you, and autods does that for you. now the really cool thing is that they tell you what suppliers they work with, and this is a really, really good place to start. this is your first list. so they have amazon here. that's not one that i recommend that you drop ship from, because what we've seen is that ebay doesn't like it. walmart is a really good supplier. they also have banggood, aliexpress, home depot, wayfarer, costco, overstok, costaway and china brands. so with that list, how do you know which ones to use? well, this is what i look for. i always look for suppliers that have really easy websites to work with, so walmart is a, for instance, probably the best example- very easy, simple website to use. i also look for fast shipping, and walmart definitely checks off that box or at least have consistent shipping speeds so that we always know how long it's going to take for the customer to get the item. also, we look for good customer service, and walmart definitely has that. so, coming back to this list, on auto ds, we see that they use walmart, which is a good choice. home depot fits all that as well. wayfair, costco, overstok costs way. all all good choices. now they have other ones here, like banggood, aliexpress and china brands. if you use those, you're going to be drop shipping from china. now. this is why i said in the beginning: you have to have a supplier that fits with the type of drop shipping that you want to do. now, personally, i advocate doing us-based suppliers because faster shipping, easier to do with returns and usually there's better customer service and higher quality. but that's not to say that drop shipping from china is wrong. you just have to make sure it fits your criteria and figure out what that is like. i've used banggood in the past, i've used aliexpress and i've used china brands and they're all fine. but personally i like having us-based suppliers. now, if you're deciding not to use retail websites to dropship from, then another choice for you would be to use wholesale suppliers. so the difference between retail and wholesale is that when you're doing retail, you're buying from another website. that means you're paying the retail price. with wholesale drop shipping, the benefit is that you're you're paying wholesale pricing, so your margins on the items you sell are going to be much higher than it would be with retail drop shipping. now, the drawback is that wholesale is not as easy to start up. that's why i said that this is best for beginners- just very simple and easy to start with wholesale. you have to form connections with these wholesale companies, get them to agree to dropship products for you now. luckily, there is a software for this called inventory source, and, by the way, i'll have links to both auto ds and inventory source under this video. but, quite honestly, inventory source is not a software that i personally use, even though i do do wholesale drop shipping, and that's primarily because it's so expensive to use them. i just found that it's much easier to do it manually for wholesale, because, with wholesale, the prices of the items don't change as often, and the stok levels don't change as often either, but it is free to sign up for an inventory source account. the only thing you'll get for free, though, is this list of suppliers that you could potentially use, and the list has 4 500 suppliers, so it's a huge list, but, just like before, we have to sort through these and find ones that fit our criteria. so, personally, i'm again looking for ones that are us-based, faster on the shipping, uh, hopefully have great customer service as well. those are the main things i look out for. there's a lot more of criteria that i look for. that i cover in my wholesale course, but for now we'll just look kind of for that. and the other thing i also avoid are aggregators. so there's this website here called us direct or doba, for instance. these are both aggregators and what that means is that you're not working directly with a wholesale supplier. instead, you are working with a company that brings in several other companies that are willing to drop ship and you only have to sign up for for one of these accounts. now that sounds good, because it sounds like you get access to a lot of suppliers. but in general, we have found that these don't work as well. for one thing, they charge you to use them, which i'm never. i'm pretty much against doing that, and i just found it's better to work directly with suppliers. so we do avoid these aggregators and for wholesale, we also definitely avoid chinese-based uh suppliers or anyone outside the united states. but this is one i've used right here, so let me show you why i liked this one and why this one checked off all the boxes for me. so i'm going to go ahead and open them up and i'm going to visit their website. so first i want to make sure that they are us-based and a really good place to look for all the information i'm going to tok about is either in the menu bar at the top or in the footer at the bottom, and here, the footer at the bottom bottom, we see that they are based in new jersey, so they're us-based. i also want to make sure that they are not an aggregator of any kind, and the best way to do that is just kind of see- i mean, they don't charge you any money to sign up. that's what i would look for, and also want to see if they're using multiple different suppliers. you can kind of click through the website to get that, get an idea of that, and by clicking through this one i don't see any indication that they are. the other thing that i look for is things like: do they do drop shipping? that's, that's a major one, and they specifically say: here they do drop shipping. it's right here. um, but another place i would look is down here at the bottom. let's see what they have. faq, let's check on that. is there a fee to be a reseller? no, again, that's something i look for: make sure there's no fee. um, let's search for the word drop ship. drop ship, blind drop shipping is not available, but that's okay. yeah, so they tok all about drop shipping here, so it is clear that they do it. um, it does say there's no drop ship fee, so that's that's important to know as well you they it doesn't. if they do charge a drop shipping fee, that's okay, as long as it's not too high. it's ideally. it's better if they don't. also, you want to make sure that there's no minimum order requirement, because there's no point in them drop shipping if they make you buy five or ten at a time. but over here we see that there's no minimum order, so that's checks off another box. and the other main thing i look for is to make sure that we actually are getting wholesale pricing, because they do claim to be a wholesaler, but here you see that it's a dealer's only website, which means that the general public can't access th.
