Can you reccomend some Dropshippers please....

Hi

Yeah could you please reccomend me some dropshippers eg: Wholesale - China wholesale - Professional Chinese wholesaler - Dropship from China

I just want to have a few dropshippers so I can see what they are offering and compare prices. I want to find a product to tap into a niche UK market on ebay. I've thought of many different products to sell so far but none of them tick all the boxes i'm after. EG the product must:
  • Ideally not being currently sold in the UK/Currently being sold in UK but with only a few cometitors.
  • Ideally be small and easy to post
  • Have potential as a business
  • Availaible from a dropshipers at a cheap price and short lead times


I'm desperate to start a business this summer but can't find the right product to sell.

Thanks

The trouble is people who have found a good dropshipping company and they sell on Ebay with a good product are going to keep that information to themselves as other people could be seen as competition,could be wrong though

yeah hopefully I might be in luck! Should I find a product to sell first before a dropshipper or pick a product that dropshippers are offering?

And the first rule about drop shipping is: don't drop ship from anyone outside your own country, especially china.
Your goods could be held up for days, weeks, or months in customs. You'll be sure to ruin your ebay feedback this way, as your customer won't be happy.

If you want to buy wholesale from another country, thats another story. But you are still chancing being ripped off because they don't have to follow the same laws as your country.

Also, another thing to remember, China is "KING OF COUNTERFEITERS". They are known for selling knockoff products that are less capable than advertised also. For instance, where do you think all those 10 gig ipods that were only 512mb were coming from? China
