How Do I get Good Tracking numbers at a Low Price?

0 replies
I am new to ecommerce and have been doing it for the last month with great results, I've learned everything the hard way and it is working so far. But now I am stumped. I have a problem I can't get past it. I can't find a clear answer on any forum online.

I am taking in around 20 to 30 orders per day which is huge. But I am fulfilling all these orders with a dropshipper using China Post With long delivery times and absolutely NO TRACKING BEYOND CHINA! This is making me feel anxious as I fear that a lot of these orders will be lost. And I do not want to have to return all of my earnings back to my customers I simply can't afford to. My supplier is on aliexpress and has 98% ratings and has sold thousands of the product I'm selling and even has 5 diamonds. But I know packages still get lost.

I think I will need a reliable tracking number on every order. I'm selling a small item which costs me about $3. I know I could just refund the customers but I couldn't afford to refund all of them. I don't want paypal to screw me over as I've read about. I thinking of losing paypal altogether because of some of the stories I've heard, the buyer simply has too much of an advantage.

Do I need to negotiate with the supplier on Aliexpress? Do most of them take orders via email? I would like to simple email them a CSV with all the addresses on.
Also how do I get good tracking numbers? They offer EMS UPS DHL etc but per item I would be at a loss. Can I get these premium shipping services cheaper with my large orders? I'm guessing that every item will be going to a different address and so they can't offer me EMS at such a low price, or can they?

Is there anything I can do to get a good tracking number at a LOW price?

Also How important is it to mark the item as "sent" on paypal? I haven't been keeping up with this and I fear its gunna bite me in the ass. All I can do to mark the item as sent is attach the China Post tracking number and I've done that for a few of my customers but I know that doesn't count as proof of delivery for paypal and theres no other way for me to provide this proof. Especially since the tracking numbers show no activity beyond the item leaving China. Do I still need to attach these tracking numbers to my customer transactions? Paypal has been allowing me to withdraw my funds without doing so so far and nothing has been mentioned of it.
