    I suspect there is not enough margin in bargain shades to profitably involve a drop shipper, particularly if sunglasses were your sole product, I would probably consider offering accessories to round out the product line, like cases and have them drop shipped.

    I do see Aliexpress offering free shipping drop ship shades for as little as $2.67 / piece. I suspect you could earn a higher customer satisfaction rate if you avoided shipping from a Chinese source.

    I recall seeing a bargain expert on the local TV news showing frebie web sites, one had sunglasses that were 'free' with a $6.95 shipping fee.

    Why cheap?

    My advice would be to sell expensive items and bank more on each sale.
