the best way to find out the drop shippers and wholesalers is Drop Ship, Light Bulk, Liquidation and Import Wholesalers from Worldwide Brands! - Home Page . Its expensive but I've heard from hundreds it is worth it. However, i have yet to buy it for myself.

What kind of store are you interested in starting?

Its very hard to make money with dropshippers. first off you will pay level 1 rate from the wholesale company. Meaning item xyz cost $20.00 wholsale for 1 to 23 items and 24 items to 48 items may cost $18.75 but the product comes in a case of 24. What this means is the wholesale dropshipper will need to break the case open and repackage and place a new label which will increase the shipping and they will add a handling charge. so if shipping is 7.50 per item and handling is $2.50 and item cost $20.00 your price is $ 30.00 plus you need to add your profit on to the price. The guy who buys 24 of the xyz product is buying by the case so his cost is 24 items for $18.75 shipping say around 40.00$ which comes out to total cost per otem at $20.42, even if the shipping is $ 3.00 more per item you cant compete with the others price. People claim to much about dropshipping most dropshippers work on a 10% to 30% profit. Usually well below 30%. Dropshippers almost always increase shipping and some will even increase the price,and some will charge more or less for handling. One way or another they will make up as much profit from you if you dropship from them.

I agree with Mike810. If you're serious about setting up your own drop ship business, Worldwide Brands is the way to go. I use them and the cost of membership is well worth it. They make it very easy to search for vendors and dropshippers.
