Anyone have any ideas to get pricing right with drop shippingand having multiple companies? Is it sometimes better to limit amount of companies on an ecommerce store? For example keeping to 5-7 rather than going much more, etc.

Thanks

      It really depends on what you are selling and your profit margin.

      I have 30 stores and about 85 vendors (though only a few that dropship and not all on a single store), and I absorb most of the dropship fees in my pricing. Sometimes I'll lose a bit of profit on one order, but it's made up for on another, so not a big deal.

      If you have a high enough margin, you really don't have to worry about the little things like dropship fees, card processing fees, etc. Just pay attention when you set your prices and make sure you have everything covered and are still making a profit.

    The best you can do is to have one single supplier 2 max! Most China based companies carry massive stock so unless you are specializing a lot not many providers will be needed I guess.
    I have had best experiences with
    - DX, (they are big but orders processing takes longer)
    - TK5.biz (They are fast, take CC's and dropship all their products by default)
    - Ahappydeal (Not sure if they are called like that anymore but they have good deals on tablets)

    I wish you success in your venture
