    OK the are a few things i dont understand.

    1- Is salehoo and doba the the drop shipper as in do they have the products in their warehouse ready to ship it or what?

    2- Do they only sell in bulk or can they ship a product bought but one person?

    3-what other drop shippers are there because i have a feeling everyone knows about salehoo and the rest and that is not a good idea right? because we all then have the same suppliers.

    --I am not 100% sure on Salehoo but I think they are similar to doba. Doba has ZERO products. They do not buy products, stock products or ship products. They find suppliers, change their names, sell you the product details while blocking their names for a monthly fee. when you sell a product you have to contact doba...doba contacts the supplier....the supplier then ships it to the customer. Doba often has their own fee, markup, etc compared to what you can get from the supplier directly. Doba use to make this less clear on their site but now do a better job of saying they are not a wholesale supplier and do not sell products. They are basically letting you sell products FOR them and not from them.

    2- Do they only sell in bulk or can they ship a product bought but one person?
    --They allow dropship but again, like with Doba....it is really the wholesale dropship supplier that does the shipping. WHen you work with a real supplier they let you put your name and logo on the invoice but since Doba is basically a middleman they only do the white label shipping since Doba is the one that has the account with the supplier source.

    3-what other drop shippers are there because i have a feeling everyone knows about salehoo and the rest and that is not a good idea right? because we all then have the same suppliers.
    They are thousands of options. Ingram Micro and their other company Ingram Books for example are two of the largest. Tech Data is another wholesale supplier that also drop ships.
