We were recently asked to create a website for a client whose products were imported from a drop shipping company.
A drop shipping company is a wholesale warehouse company, which will send products direct from their premises to your customer from orders placed on your website at a price that you charge.
Unfortunately the prices you are charged are normal prices and by the time you add on your margin, means that your selling prices are not competitive.
We had an experience, where we agreed to create a website for a customer using a drop shipping company, however as it takes time for the site to rise on search engines (seo) and the prices that they were charging, they did not receive the volume of orders they were expecting.
Therefor we will only agree to create a website, if a drop shipping company is involved, if the products you are selling are unique and are not white goods or computer spares.
If you have any questions or would like to discus your new website strategy then please contact us or leave a comment below.
