I am in need of a Wholesaler who specializes in home decor products based in the US. I have been relying on only one company to start of with and realize (know) that I may be making a mistake. My new upgraded website will be complete next week and I am having a hard time finding reliable wholesalers. I am very excited to have a website built that may be able to make more conversions. Now I am nervous about drop shipping, inventories, refunds and returns, quality of products and all of the things that I didn't fully account for. I would like to do this right the first time.

    It is rare that people do everything perfectly the first time around. Even seasoned business men get a bit nervous when starting a new venture!

    Don't worry. As long as you have a good support system, and are quick on your feet to fix things, you will be okay.

    Regarding wholesalers, when I was searching looking for wholesalers I was advised by my friend to search the following terms. Don't forget the quotes, as it will give you narrower results better suited for you.
