Watch Out For Fake Dropship Warehouses

If you are starting or operating an online or eBay business to be real successful you will want to find various drop ship warehouses.

This will help you eliminate the need to stock inventory and keep you company lean since you will not have to have employees to manage shipping and other costly operations.

But before you make a costly mistake you need to ensue your supplier is not a so called “fake” dropship warehouse.

These fake dropship warehouses are all over the web, but they are easy to spot. Typically if they have no guarantee or have not become a part of the better business bureau they are a prime suspect.

Fake dropship warehouse operate as a middle man for you. They set up a relationship with 1 or 2 drop shippers and claim they are the authority. They have no customer testimonials and no guarantee because they are fake.

Furthermore, they have substantial fees such as set up fee, commission fees for each sale and other unheard of fee.

Real dropship warehouses or directories may charge a small one time fee to gain access to their suppliers, but that is it.

The real dropship warehouses will be part of the better business bureau, have customer support, and live customer that are willing give you a reference through testimonial. They may also have a forum bringing members together to talk best practices in drop shipping.

On the other hand, a fake drop ship warehouse will tell you they have a complete website for you out of the box where you can sell anything from cell phones, to the latest designer handbags.

If a company offers you a complete website with products ready to sell, you can expect as the saying goes “if it sounds too good to be true it probably is”. These out of the box website operate purely on fees and middle man commission. So if you sell a product on the site you will make them rich but not yourself.

If you want a real business get an access to a product sourcing directory that can bring you in contact with real drop ship warehouses and then design your own niche websites around different products.

I fully guarantee that if you select a fake dropship warehouse that is just a middleman, you will be very disappointed with your business and likely find it is not worth your time.

You business success is much more important than wasting your valuable time and money working with middle man drop ship warehouses.
