    Do you work with drop-shippers? What companies do you recommend and are there companies we should avoid for some reason?

    You can check at alibaba.com ... there are some good ones there (there are also scammers... as in every place).

    I now using DHgate since 2008.
    Word of advise for you,is try to avoid deal with seller that don't have any positive review and only deal with trader that have long trading history.

    Salehoo is not a dropshipper, just a directory.

    I think maybe you are approaching this from the wrong angle. Instead of asking what dropshipper to use, you should first think of items you would be interested in selling, then go out and find dropshippers for that product. If you are a legitimate business (registered in your state) you'll have leverage to introduce yourself as a legitimate retailer. Good luck!

    Probably what you'll have to do is contact those brands, see if they can put you in contact with a wholesaler. Then you'll need to request information from the wholesaler and see if they would be willing to sell to a smaller retailer like you and dropship the products. Many companies won't, but you might get lucky! :)

    I think PHPGator made a good point, so let add another question - with what goods have you been most successful when using drop-shippers?

    I would say any goods that you could think off. People are inclined to internet nowadays and its good to sell any products if you have the right marketing techniques for it.

    I would always try to work directly with manufacturers if they offer drop shipping. This is really the only way to have a decent margin in this business (if you don't have a good price you will never be able to compete effectively online).
