Hi, I am currently in search of honest wholesale drop-shippers to start an online business not the usual scams
All that seem to be out there are vultures who are preying on people that don’t know any better.The ones that are flooding the search engines with there marketing technics and are not even wolesalers but just sources that claim to connect you to the wholesalers for a fee of course, they even mask themselves with review sites but of course their company is always the five star review to trick people.
The real wholesale drop-shippers are the ones that are not promoting themselves all over the net which is the ones I want to connect with, but how?
I ‘m sure their are lots of people going through this same ordeal which has been somewhat discouraging but I think persistence will pay off, after all there are resellers out there doing business with reliable distributors.
Any info will be appreciated,
Thanks

Hi,
I am a Yahoo e-commerce merchant. I have an online store and I had the same questions.
For my online purposes, I consult a legitimate directory of drop shippers and wholesalers. This resource can also be used if you have a brick and mortar store and are looking for legitimate vendors that have been verified.
You can find light bulk, volume and liquidation wholesalers in this directory.
This is the first place I go when I am looking for a new source of supply….a legitimate drop shipper that has been checked out and wants to do business with you and has been added to the drop ship directory.
The listing comes with all the contact information for the wholesale drop shipper.
Go to my website and read a review of this company…
my site can be found below in the source box.:
Once on my site,,,click on any of the links to be taken to the
drop ship directory.
You will also find a lot of free resources available that will help guide you in the setting up of your business if needed.
There is a one time fee for this product, but it pays for itself and enables you to do market research for your niche or chosen market.
Good luck finding your vendors.

A drop shipper sends goods direct to the buyer, after the buyer and seller
have coordinated the purchase.
Until the advent of the computer and
the internet, this was quite simple to do.
Too many people confuse the ability
to get goods sent direct from the supplier/manufacturer with the
ease this makes in running a business.
The two items are not related.
95% of all online businesses are started for either WRONG or
ineffective reasons.
"start an on-line business, it is easy"
etc.
BS
an on line business is no easier to
run than a brick and mortar business
althought is has fewer up front costs.
and 95% of ALL internet ONLY busineses do not ever make a profit
for the owner [this includes the math
that one should be able to earn more with
an on-line biz than one could
working for a local firm].
AND……
drop shippers originally only sold to
SEASONED retailer’s customers.
These retailers had also often
obtained franchises.
so……….it is not the problem of
getting drop shipping that is of concern, it is of having a REAL business that provides a unique
product or service –either on line or not] that helps a person have a business and when one has a special business and many customers,
the normal suppliers for that retailer
are glad to drop ship with no "extra fees" to the retailer.
—you could even say, "he who offers to sell most anything" should probably sell nothing."
the secret; SPECIALIZE, SPECIALIZE
AND SPECIALIZE.
[90% of ebay merchants earn a net
profit equaling $1.50 an hour of time invested.]
Try World Wide Brands, which is easy enough to find on Google. They feature millions of products available for drop shipping. Plus there is no minimum purchase, meaning you can order from these companies one product at a time. And they will ship it to your customers under your name.
The fee to join is expensive, so think carefully. This company is a member of the BBB and the wholesalers they deal with are truly legitimate. Hope this helps.
I wish you the best of luck in all your business ventures.
