      Amazon is the best dropping company hands down. If you mean a shipping company than there are several in any town USA, FedEx, UPS, DHL and good old USPS.

    For drop shipping it has to be Amazon, especially if you are a Prime customer, but there are plenty of others out there also.

    I have used UPS for many years and they have been very reliable. Yes, from my experience they charge a bit more than FedX but I purchase a p.o. box at my local UPS, so its just super convenient for me to just ship with them.

    I've tried Megagoods and Doba in the past, but was annoyed with false "wholesale" prices. What they were offering were items i could drive to my local Walmart and get it for less. I've good things about "WorldWideBrands", but i haven't tried them yet. Me personally i just dont like the dropshipping business at all.

    Forget about DOBA or any other websites that markets themselves as "dropshippers"

    Most of the time, they will charge you just to get access to their pricing only to find out you can buy the products for WAYY cheaper on Amazon or eBay.

    So scratch any idea of searching drop ship in any search engine.

    My experience in drop shipping comes from a company I used to work for that sold electronics on Amazon. I was in charge of a few brands of products that included everything from surveillance cameras to IT equipment and they were all shipped by a few vendors. So anytime an order came in, we would email the purchase order, send them the money, they would ship it and we would keep the profits. Between the 3 brands I worked on they were pulling in over 200k per month. Now I know that sounds like a lot, but it was realistically a 5-10% profit margin after the cost of goods AND Amazon fees.

    Anyways, here is what I learned:

    The legitimate vendors do not advertise that they drop ship and they dont charge huge sign up fees. This is where the work comes in. Choose your market then start searching for vendors, re-sellers, distributors, manufacturers but avoid using the word drop ship. Reach out and tell them you are interested in their products and ask if they can ship on your behalf. A lot of companies will say no BUT some do offer this. Once you find a few good companies with good products and good pricing then you are way ahead of the others that are considering DOBA.

    Good luck!
