I am looking for a drop shipping company that has mostly paintball equipment, outdoor gear, and electronics. Is their any out their that are free and does not cost to join them?
Good luck it getting someone to tell you about their best dropshipping companies, once you find a good one keep it to yourself.
In case you are wondering, I just checked in Worldwidebrands as I'm a member there and there were no dropshippers for paintball guns. I was actually kind of shocked. The only thing available is a light bulk wholesaler. Have you considered changing your business model to being an affiliate? Surely there are some companies out there that would be willing to have you market their products and take a commission.
You're best bet is to contact paint ball gun manufacturers directly. If you don't know any, go to your local paint ball shop (or look online) and see who the manufacturers are and contact them. They will either dropship themselves or can direct you to their distributors.
Find the brand name you want to sell and go them directly. I did this with baseball bats and went right to Easton and TPX and got an account. The only other thing to do, if you dont want to stock product (they will make you buy so many and you stock and sell) is to find a middle man...one who buys direct but will sell to you for a small profit. Example: a scooter store my buddy owns: you sell a scooter for $400 You send him the order and he charges you $350...you keep the $50 profit and he ships everything. He bought it for $300 so he makes money, you make money....
Without paying you will have hard time finding good dropshipper. doba.com, salehoo.com, worldwidebrands are some places to look at. But they are all paid ones.
Salehoo is one of the admirable web site about wholesale trade especially for dropshippers. I strongly advice for beginners as a website reviewer
Trust me when I say this (And I'm a self proclaimed ebay Pro) lol I believe it was mentioned already on here, but your best bet is to contact a manufacturer, and have them re brand generic Items for you. Brand yourself, and sell your items. It may cost you a little more upfront..however the returns are huge in the end. If you don't have money up front and need to build you bankroll, then you could always contact suppliers directly , buy 10items.. sell those 10 make a profit.. by 20, sell 20, buy 40, sell 40. Etc etc.. dont go spending your money, just keep reinvesting over and over until you can rebrand. Trust me.. it's worth it. eBay is my number one source of income, and has been for several years (fulltime) Dennis
with my experience in selling stuff online ,I can say " there's no free lunch for you" . I was scammed by free service ,and now I think money invested in right way can take back a larger amount . Find a legitimate service and pay for joining fee .It cost you some bucks but you will be more serious with your business . P/s: don't try alibaba for the first business because they are full filled of scammers . If you have some experience in verifying a business legit or not , you can try alibaba .
why pay? most sites that want a payment are scammers. i use 6 extremely good and reliable dropshippers and none of them charge a fee
why should i share them, there is enough competiotion already without me telling even more people. do what i did. Type Google.com in your address bar and get searching
Free or fee based service does not define the legitimacy of a business. In my experience drop shipping is fool's gold. Think about it, they purchase the products in bulk for low price, they do inventory for you, they handle the item for you, they ship the item for you, and the drop shipper still has to make a profit. Do you think it's possible to purchase an item from a drop shipper at a competitive price? Contact a brick and mortar wholesaler if you are serious about selling online.
