I'm finding it extremely difficult to find a good wholesale distributor who will do drop shipping. I don't have the startup capital to invest in a warehouse/stock as of yet but this will be my long term goal.

Is it a negative thing to have multiple distributors depending on the range of products I want for my site?

sites like WorldWideBrands.com don't have the specialty healthcare products I am looking for!

Any help guys?

Healthcare products, you should call the manufacturer and ask them who their distributors are. Then you can deal right from them without middlemen. On the other hand, not many companies will drop ship health care products. You usually have to buy that sort of product in bulk right from the distributor or manufacturer.

No, it's not a negative thing to have more than one distribuotr, in fact, I recommmend it.

If you have any other questions I can help. Or do a search on my blog. I am sure you will find something there to help.

You may want to reconsider what your start up capital is for your warehousing solution.

What price range were you thinking you had to hit.

As you are considering inventory, how much are you looking to invest in? Can you make a limited buy to get started and test your model?
