I've identified a product that sells pretty decent offline,
and wondering where I find someone who might wholesale
the product.

Ideally someone who will ship it, where all I have to do is
send them orders (or key the orders on to their web site)
and the wholesaler ships the product.

Thx.

    Here is a trick. Go to google. Type in the name of the product in quotes + drop ship in quotes. Like this:

    "cool product" + "Drop ship"
    Then do variations
    "cool product" + "dropship"
    "cool product" + "drop ship program"
    "cool product" + "wholesale"
    "cool product" + "distributor"
    "cool product" + "distributor agreement"

    Actually, by going to google and typing "distributor agreement", you will find all kind of dropshippers. It helps weed out the scam sites, although there will still be a few.

        Yea, but I think the best overall is "Drop ship agreement"

    Here's what we do and it works pretty well...

    We buy products directly from the manufacturer at wholesale prices. We then ship these products to a 3rd party fulfillment warehouse called ShippingElite.com.

    This company stores our products in their warehouses until we sell the inventory. Once we sell something, we shoot them an email with our customer's name, address, etc and they ship it out for us within 24 hours.

    It costs us like $0.02 a day for storage and a flat rate shipping cost for the UPS delivery fee and that's it.

    I highly recommend using some sort of fulfillment service if you want to sell a physical product online. It's just like dropshipping (without eating into your profit margins) and you never have to see or touch any products you sell.

    If the OP ever comes here again, I can check for wholesalers and dropshippers for you using a wholesale membership site.

    PM me.

    It always comes down to 2 senarios.

    1. you find cool stuff, supplier don't dropship for you.
    2. you find a dropshipper, you don't like their stuff.

    anybody second this?

    I use a fulfillment company that will take any of your products and do all the boxing and shipping for a flat rate no hidden fees.I just go out and find products buy in bulk get a better price at wholesale. I use them to ship out my baby products and it works out great. I am in control of my stuff not the dropshipper!!
    shippingelite.com is the company if your interested I use them

    Luke and Todd Gee are same company (ShippingElite) fwiw. They sound legit though.

    Go direct to the manufacturer first to see if they will supply to you wholesale and ultimately dropship. If they don't, ask them who the main wholesalers are that they provide to and get in touch with them instead.

    Alternatively, look in a dropship/wholesale directory.

    It largely depends on what you're trying to sell.

    I cannot send you a PM because of my post count.
    But I can pretty much source a good product in wholesale or a single unit at whole sale prices because of the contacts build up.

    Hopefully, I can help you hunt down a proper genuine wholeseller.
