What is Drop Shipping and How it will Help You Profit from Wholesale Necklace Business?

What should I need to know about drop shipping before I decided to buy a wholesale necklace? Before I discuss to you what is drop shipping, you might want to understand how it is going on the offline world and how it will affect your wholesale necklace business. Here is how it works:

First

Let us say that ABC Manufacturer sells tires. Lots of people need tires for their land-based vehicle to run faster. The manufacturer do not sell directly to the public, they need distributors or wholesalers to dispense their in- demand tires.

Second

Here comes DEF Wholesaler. This wholesaler buys tires in large quantities to ABC Manufacturer to sell it to retailers. In order to distribute the products, DEF Wholesaler will ask the manufacturer to drop ship the tires to their stock rooms.

The tires cost $100 each and distribution feel will be $5 per tire. The wholesaler ordered 10 tires so the amount to be paid to ABC Manufacturer will be $1,050.00 ((Tire Cost + Distribution Fee) * Quantity Ordered).

Third

Now, DEF Wholesaler doesn't sell directly to end customers either. He needs retailers to sell the product to tire users. With the same computations mentioned above, the wholesaler will set a distribution fee from $5-$10 per tire respectively. Wholesaler will now drop ship the tires to retailer's stockroom.

The Retailer now ordered 20 tires. Because of the higher distribution price set by the wholesaler at $10 per tire, and with the same price at $100, the retailer will now pay DEF Wholesaler with the amount of $2,200.00. Wholesaler profited $200.00 for the 20 tires the retailer ordered.

Retailer can now sell the tires to customers. They set the final retail price at $220.00! For every tire sold, the retailer now earns $100 in net profit ((retail price of $220 - original price of $100 = $120) - $20 distribution fee). The retailer is the happiest of all.

There you have it, how drop shipping works offline. On the Internet, it works differently from traditional drop shipping operations.

Drop Shipping on the Internet

I will simply put it this way for you. Drop shipping on the Internet is a mode of product distribution serviced by wholesale necklace suppliers and "NOT" middlemen who act as drop shippers. You take orders from a customer, arrange with the wholesale necklace supplier to drop ship your order directly to the customer. You earn, the supplier earns, customer gets the product. It's a win-win-win situation.

As a wholesale necklace supplier, it will be a very big advantage for you to open this service to support truly valuable retailers and establish long-term relationship. But first, know the advantages and disadvantages of drop shipping.

And as a retailer, carefully choose a real wholesale necklace supplier. If you have just received a single large order from customer, arranged for the drop shipping so that these legitimate wholesalers will drop ship the necklace products directly to end customer with no additional fee on your part.
