Ive had a ton of PMs for details on the drop shipping program, so here are the details from their website: (it is blind drop shipping)

I have had a lot of interest in the drop ship program, so here is the FAQ from their website:
HOW DOES DROP-SHIP WORK?
It's very easy. You order from us and we ship the product directly to your customer. That's it! We print the shipping label with your name and address so the customer never knows where the product actually came from. Most companies charge a drop-ship fee in addition to the regular shipping charges, but not us. You pay just the regular shipping fee. The good thing about drop-shipping is that you sell our items and we do all the work! No inventory and no hassle for you means more profit and less work!

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHERE TO SEND MY ORDER?
During the checkout process, !!! YOUR ADDRESS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GOES IN THE SHIP TO SECTION !!! If your order is being drop-shipped, your customers name and address goes in the "Drop Ship Address Goes Here" box on the checkout page along with a note that the order is to be drop-shipped.

IS THERE A MINIMUM ORDER AMOUNT?
If your order is being drop-shipped, there is no minimum. If the order is being shipped to you, the minimum order is 15 pieces.

DO YOU GIVE BULK QUANTITY DISCOUNTS?
Absolutely! To order 25 or more pieces, email a list to sales@XXXXXXXXXXX.com and we'll give you an awesome deal!

WHAT DOES "ICED OUT" MEAN?
Iced out means that the item has stones it. Our stones are all genuine Swarovski Crystals.

HOW DO I GET YOUR PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS ON MY SITE?
You can use the old cut-and-paste method.

PAYMENT OPTIONS
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and eChecks through PayPal, the worlds most popular online payment processor. You may also place your credit card on file with us. Email sales@XXXXXXXXXXX.com for information on how to do this.

WHAT COUNTRIES DO YOU SHIP TO?
We will ship to any country in the world.

SHIPPING
Shipping charges are as follows:
$0.01-$49.99 - $6.50
$50.00-$99.99 - $8.50
$100.00-$199.99 - $10.50
$200.00 and over - $13.50
Shipping prices are for domestic and international addresses. Items shipped to the US will ship via US mail (2-9 business days). Orders shipped outside the US will ship via Air Mail (7-10 business days).

RETURNS / REFUNDS
Please notify us of any damaged items within 48 hours. We will then issue a return authorization for the item(s) for exchange for the EXACT product only. Items MUST have prior authorization or they will be refused. Email returns@XXXXXXXXXXX.com for an authorization.

HOW LONG DOES IT USUALLY TAKE FOR DELIVERY?
Orders placed with credit cards are shipped within 5 business days upon receipt. Electronic checks from the US take 7-10 business days to clear. Electronic checks from outside the US take 14-21 business days to clear. Orders shipped to the United States are shipped via US mail (2-9 business days). Orders shipped outside the United States are shipped via Air Mail (7-10 business days). Delivery time on international shipments may vary depending on the current Terror Threat Level in the United States. If the Terror Threat Level is low, guarded or elevated, the parcel should arrive in the specified time with no problems. If the Terror Threat Level is high or severe, there is a good chance that shipments to certain countries will be delayed in customs.

$99.00 starting price, really high isn't it.

i bet that website never cost you more than $10.00 to make, you probs own your own hosting website, and just set up cubecart (free software) on there and bought a domain or picked one up cheap on ebay. Domains cost less than $5.00 nowa days. Your domain doesn't have a page rank, and you expect people to pay $250.00.

Another reason i can tell you just downloaded the products list and upload them to the website in the cubecart background.

Also, the main give away that you just through it all together is all the products are down the bottom of the page, if this was your website with a custom template then you would have atleast made the items fit at the top of the page rather than the bottom.

Also the advertisment, advertising your hosting company at the top of the page gives it away.

IF anyone wants a similar this come to me, ill set you up one similar to,
http://preowned-games.co.uk
http://gbuyshopping.co.uk

and ill get all adverts removed, free!

mine will cost 7.99 a month,
PM me if your interested!

If you read the auction, you will realize that $99 is a very good price. Free hosting, search engine submission, directory submission, custom cubecart template, over 70 products manually added, and much more. If you use BIN I include a ~ $70 cubecart license. And NO I do not have my own hosting company. That is google adsense at the top of the page. PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THE AUCTION AND LOOK AT THE WEBSITE BEFORE YOU COMMENT. This is totally immature and uncalled for.

lol, but if it was your website you would of taken more time in positioning the website, you have the products at the very bottom of the page, and nothing fits, (comming from someone who has installed many ecommerce websites its the type of this that happends when you first install the script. the template looks very simple, and for a good price you could get one much better. I'm just making sure nobody gets ripped off here. Also they will pay 250.00 for something like 1-3 months hosting and how much do they have to pay after that, (i suppose you will have them trapped then, and there have to pay a rediculas price)

There are no products at the bottom of the site besides the latest products, please do not respond to any more of my threads, as it seems you dont know what you are talking about.


Site sold via BIN. Auction closed. Thank you.
