Drop Shipper Review - DBL

There is a lot to be said for drop shipping as an income stream. No inventory to carry, no shipping to worry about, no upfront costs to stock your store. It can be a good solution, but like anything else worthwhile, it takes some work to make it profitable. A large part of that work comes with finding a reputable drop shipper who you can make money with. This post is going to review just such a company.

DBL Distributing - you can visit them at http://www.dbldistributing.com/ - is a company that has been in business for some time. I'm not affiliated with them in any way shape or form, but I have used them in the past and have been very happy with the experience. They have a large selection of product, which is important. When using a drop shipper, your margins can tend to be lower than if you carry inventory. It's a trade off. DBL's large selection allows you to have enough items to choose from that you can be picky, finding the items that will provide you with the largest profit potential.

Something else that I like about DBL is their shipping. They ship very quickly, same day shipping for the most part, and their packaging is done well. No problems with damaged goods, or wrong products being sent out. I also like their support, they have nice, clean pictures of their products, with good descriptions. Makes it very easy to create ads for the products you choose to sell.

Finally, they do not have minimum order requirements, which is important. I'm a believer that to truly make good money selling long term, 99 percent of the time you need to carry inventory. Don't let me discourage you, there is definitely income potential in drop shipping, I have just found the margins to be smaller than when carrying inventory. Because of this belief, I put drop shipping in a niche category. I would use it when you are getting started and don't have the money to purchase as much inventory as you would like, or use it as a compliment to your stocked items you offer.

Last thing I will say before ending this is about their requirements to get set up. They will require a reseller's license. If you don't have one, they are not difficult to get, nor are they expensive. It's something you will want to have anyways if you are serious about setting up an online sales business. Check back in, I will be reviewing more drop shipping companies and more wholesale providers in the future.
