the easiest method first if you're looking to drop ship from other retail websites like Walmart or amazon. com then I really recommend you use a software like autods I use autods for my own drop shipping stores and you can also use it for eBay Facebook Marketplace and even Shopify as the name implies this software helps you automate your drop shipping stores it can list items for you it will update the price and stock levels if they change on your suppliers website and it can even automatically order items for you but the reason I'm bringing it up now is not because of all that is because the software actually tells you which suppliers it works with so as beginner it's a really good idea to first look at this list of suppliers to get some inspiration so here I am inside my auto DS account if I click on add a product which I would normally do if I was going to be adding a product into my eBay store in this case I can see right here it tells me or asked me to choose which supplier I'm going to be adding this item from so this is telling me that this software autods works with all of these suppliers AliExpress Home Depot Sam's Club Walmart Wayfair there's a whole bunch of them right here now right away this gives you a big list of potential suppliers that you can use but we now need to narrow this list down quite a bit you can't use all of them so I'll share with you what I do what I look for in a supplier when I'm Drop Shipping and then you can use the same criteria yourself the first thing I do is I always just go to the supplier's website and check to make sure that they look legitimate and that their website is like easy to use so if we use Walmart for example I'm here on Walmart. com this is a very normal website for a retail store very legitimate we all know of Walmart a lot of the suppliers on that list are suppliers or websites or companies that we've heard of they're legitimate and these are good websites that are easy to navigate the other thing I checked is that suppliers that they have good shipping policies and by that I mean I want to make sure that the items are going to ship out quickly and I also want to see how much they charge for shipping Walmart for instance has really fast shipping and I know that because I've been using them since 2017 but if you're a beginner you're not going to know that so what you can do is you can order something from Walmart for yourself have it delivered to your own home and see how much shipping costs and how long it takes for the item to arrive most of these sites will have fast shipping and they're going to offer free shipping in at least some situations so I added an item to the cart here on Walmart you can see this is a cheap item it's 3. 98 but they charge 6. 99 for shipping for orders that are under 35 dollars paying your supplier for shipping isn't a huge deal because you're just going to take the cost and pass it along to your buyer so for example for this one I don't consider the price of the item to be 3. 98 I consider it to be 10. 97 and because this is the standard for Walmart every other seller who is drop shipping from Walmart has to do the same thing has to pay for that shipping as well it means that we're all on an even playing field here the most important thing here is consistency it gets really confusing when a supplier says they charge 4. 99 to ship to some states and an extra two dollars for other states or they might say that it costs five dollars a pound up to 10 pounds and then it's only three dollars a pound it you don't want that you want a uniform easy to handle policy and luckily all of these retail sites do that already the next thing I always look for in a supplier is good customer service it has drop shippers we are basically middlemen which means that if a customer has an issue with an order it's up to us to contact the supplier and work it out for them that's much easier to do when the supplier has good customer service themselves so check and see if the website or whoever you're buying from they have an easy way to contact them and check on their return policy and make sure it's an easy and consistent one so back here on autods I can tell you that pretty much all of these are great suppliers Home Depot I've worked with a lot they have fantastic customer service same thing with Walmart same thing with Amazon as well so there are just a lot of really great choices here on this list but you'll also notice on this list are some suppliers here like we have banggood where did that one go banggood we have CJ Drop Shipping and we also have Alibaba and AliExpress in here as well with these suppliers you would actually be Drop Shipping from China now like I said in the beginning of this video you have to find suppliers that work with the type of Drop Shipping you want to do all the suppliers I showed you before they're all based here in the United States like Walmart and Home Depot and Amazon so you're going to get free shipping with them and for uh at least if you spend enough money and you're going to get fast shipping on pretty much all of those as well and the quality of those items is generally going to be good as well however when you drop ship from China even though the shipping times will be much longer the items will usually cost you much less and that usually means more profit for you so there's a bit of a trade-off there again this is up to you and what type of Drop Shipping you want to do and which direction you want to go with this if you're confused by

all of this and you're just having a hard time trying to figure out which one of these suppliers are good just remember this if a supplier works with autods if it's on this list on autods there is a reason for it it's because a drop shipper use that supplier really liked it and then ask Autodesk to add it into the software autods wouldn't have spent time adding the supplier to their system if it wasn't a good supplier that drop shippers were already making money with so far we've covered some suppliers

you can use if you want to drop ship from retail stores but there's another way that you can drop ship and that's by using wholesale suppliers the difference between retail and wholesale suppliers is that when you're Drop Shipping with retail suppliers you're buying from the same website that anyone else can buy from and you're paying full retail price with wholesale Drop Shipping on the other hand you're paying wholesale prices which are generally less so you're able to make more profit even if you're selling the same item there are pros and cons to each of these retail is definitely a lot easier to get started with more beginner friendly and it works with software like autods to make your whole Drop Shipping Store pretty automated that's not the case with wholesale Drop Shipping and wholesale suppliers you'll need to contact different wholesale suppliers get them to agree to drop ship for you and that can take a lot of time and energy it's a lot more work up front and definitely not as beginner friendly as retail Drop Shipping but again you'll be paying less for wholesale products so there's potential to make a lot of money with it the other drawback of wholesale is that we don't have that vetted list like we get from Auto DS so finding a good wholesale supplier is much more difficult now there actually is a website that's sort of like autods but for wholesale and it's called inventory Source but honestly comparing autods to inventory Source isn't really fair because quite frankly I haven't found inventory source to work all that well and it's pretty expensive to use now inventory Source still sort of helps us because you can create an account on their website for free and log in and take a look at all the wholesale suppliers that it works with so here I am inside inventory source and I clicked on the left where it says supplier directory this shows me all 200 suppliers it works with actually let's get rid of this we can see all 6000 that it works with and if you choose right here it says allows Dropship let's narrow it down to only the ones that allow Drop Shipping and that narrowed it down to only 2 000 which is obviously still quite a large list of wholesale suppliers however just because these suppliers allow Drop Shipping doesn't mean they fit our criteria so we have to sort through these now for wholesale I'm looking for suppliers with fast shipping good customer service ideally free or cheap returns and shipping costs that are easy to estimate you'll often run in suppliers here with extremely confusing policies around shipping they make it really difficult for us to have one set shipping policy on eBay so I avoid those suppliers you'll also find some suppliers that won't accept any returns at all and that doesn't work for us either and the last big red flag I want to talk about are drop ship aggregators and I bring those up because you can see one of those right here US Direct it says Dropship aggregator these aggregators they aren't suppliers themselves they're not the ones selling the products to us they pull in catalogs of items from other suppliers compile them into one website and then usually charge you to access that list of items and to use that website now why that while that might sound appealing in my experience most people who end up paying to access one of these sites never finds anything good there at all it's much better to work directly with a good supplier that you find on your own in general if you have to pay to access the list of suppliers or products or pay to sign up for a supplier's Drop Shipping program or pay a lot I should say it's probably not a good idea those are the main things I look out for there are definitely a few other red flags I look out for as well but for the sake of this video those are the ones we're going to concentrate on and the things we are going to look out for so let me show you a supplier here that I've used before and I'll show you what I like about them and kind of what I don't like about them either and that one I did find on this list is called cwr distribution now the first thing I do is I go right over to their website and I start taking a look at it right here I'm just going to poke around a little bit and see hey does this look like a legitimate business are they who they say they are and I'm also checking to make sure that this is not an aggregator and looking at this you're going to notice that a lot of these wholesalers have pretty basic websites and that's because they're not selling directly to the public if they were selling retail to the public then their site would look more like Walmart which is a lot more user friendly but in this case they're selling to distributors or retailers like us and therefore they don't have to worry about having like a nice looking website the thing I'm also looking for is I want to make sure that it requires some sort of hurdle I should I could explain it as a hurdle to actually make purchases from them and here you can see that in order to start buying from them you actually have to become a dealer you have to actually sign up with them that is a good thing that is what you want because that indicates that they are keeping out anyone who is just doing retail buying for themselves or is not serious about this but if you get everything set up you can purchase items from them and you can have cwr Dropship for you so that is a good sign right there other things I want to look for let's just see what their policies are let's make sure they actually allow Drop Shipping so scrolling down here I'm going to start looking at every page here let's go into their FAQ we see that right here and let's see what information we can find here is there a fee to be a reseller no there is no fee again I said before if they charge you a fee to use them you can pay that fee but I wouldn't pay it if it's a really high amount sometimes there's just like a small fees that's kind of more administrative fee for them to actually be able to set up an account for them that's fine but if it's a really higher fee there's really no need for that and in this case you see it's completely free what other information is helpful here um can I sell on eBay or Amazon they have no limitation so that's really good to see as well because those are places we're going to sell some of these wholesalers will have policies about that you can choose whether you want to follow that policy or not but if they catch you breaking that policy they do have the right to just say hey we're not going to sell to you anymore I'm not seeing anything here about Drop Shipping uh are there any Dropship fees no there's no additional fees to Dropship so that tells us that hey they definitely do Drop Shipping and they're not charging us fees for it as well again like I said before you want to be wary of websites that charge you a drop ship fee again if it's something reasonable a small amount that's okay but if it's a high amount that's a red flag that you want to avoid do we have packing slips in the Box there's no pricing on the packing slip so that's good um what is the cost of shipping the flat rate is 9. 95 that's excellent 9. 95 per shipment flat rate that's excellent because now when we're pricing our items on let's say eBay we can just take the price of the item here on cwr distribution add in 10 for shipping and we know that's our cost to acquire the item and then we'll have obviously some additional fees as well and let's see if there's any is there any minimum order requirement no this is excellent as well because if there is a minimum order requirement if they do make you order 100 of a unit well that doesn't really work for Drop Shipping because we're going to be ordering them one at a time so obviously we want no minimum order requirement this is why I wanted to use this one as an example because they really lay it all out there for us and make it really easy to understand even their return policy here says return policy of 30 days and you do need an RMA number which is that's pretty normal if you're not able to find any of this information then you can always reach out to the supplier directly and just ask them so go to their contact page on the website email them the questions or even just give them a call and this will also give you a good idea of how good their customer service is and how quickly they'll get back to you and actually be able to help you now this list on inventory Source it is quite big but actually have another list for you as well that I use and in some ways I actually think this other list is much better you see many times wholesale suppliers they go to trade shows or Expos to show off all the items that they're making or they're selling and they try to get retailers to then buy those products to resell them themselves for example there's this pet product Expo that I've been to in the past there's a scuba diving Expo pretty much any Niche you can think of there's a trade show or Expo for it now I'm not suggesting that you actually go to a trade show you can if you want to but instead I'm suggesting that you go over to Google and search for like Pet Expo or pet trade show something like that and you'll see a bunch of results up here I'm going to open up this one right here which is going to go to the website look at the trade show website and more specifically we want to actually find the list of event vendors that are going to be there so on this one for instance I'm coming around the top it says attend and it says search exhibitor directory and floor plan that looks like what I want coming down here we'll just come to the actual exhibitor search and we can see all 953 exhibitors right here and what I'll do then is actually go through these same way I showed you before to make sure that maybe we could find one or two of these that are really good fit for us then we can reach out to them and start to work with them have them drop ship for us it is of course going to take time to go through this whole list and to find good suppliers but the good news is that you really only need to find one good supplier and you're all set I've seen many successful drop shippers who only drop ship from one good supplier now if you found any value in this video whatsoever please consider giving this video a thumbs up and I would really appreciate it if you subscribe to my channel earlier in this video I talked about autods which is one of the tools I use to run my Drop Shipping Store but if you want to see all the software that you use with my drop shipping stores then check out this video right here and I'll see you there in just one second
