    Hi Yaros

    I'm curious to know if you just use one supplier from Aliexpress or multiple for your dropshipping service? If you use multiple, how do you combine two separate orders from one customer?

    I.E. I order a scarf and a snitch necklace from your store, lets say which happens to be supplied by two different suppliers that you use from Aliexpress, do I get two parcels? Or is there a process that puts my order into one shipment and I receive both products at the same time?

    I am using many different suppliers from AliExpress. And had to sent items separately sometimes, but it does not give any problems.

    Thanks for the response Yaros, legend.

    Do you manually go through and remove photos from suppliers that watermark their pictures? Also, do you manually edit the product descriptions and titles?

    I know that some suppliers put a lot of junk in these areas and it doesn't look good.

    If the images have watermarks or the titles look terrible, I edit manually.

    I think the best products for dropshipping from AliExpress are cheap ones that cost $2-5 on Ali. In this case you can put x5 or even x10 markup. Besides it is easier to promote and sell such items. My daily stats for these products look like this:

    Hi Yaro, I am one of your Aliplugin customer for my shop.electronicsinfoline.com site. I see many people visit there and some has already checked out to Aliexpress - but majority of them do not buy when they saw big "Buy Now from Aliexpress" button. Perhaps they afraid of buying from Ali.

    So, I thought to open a Woocomerce shop using some theme from Themeforest that suits my niche.
    So, I request you to provide me pricing for Alidropship and Social rabbit plugin - because I can't spend $499 to get all of them with the site.

    Can you please help brother?

    I want to warn and inform you about scam products (Aliexpress plugins) appeared on Internet time to time.

    Recently one of forum members contacted me and reported that he was scammed by ecomlauncher.net.

    I spent some time on research and found some interesting information about this product and its creator.

    His name is Able Chika, a well-known fraud for me. Some time ago, he copied my AliPlugin and started selling as its own product. As a result I got many refund requests and spent much time on explaining people that they bought not AliPlugin but its poor copy from another seller.

    I wrote several complaints and his aliengine was banned from Warrior forum, JVZoo and other marketplaces. Then he tried to sell his 'business' on Flippa and was suspended there as well: https://flippa.com/5807833-aliengine-io

    I like a strong and healthy competition and I respect the hard work of other developers admiring their great products, but I have no respect for such people like this Chika.

    I decided to expand my business and try some new interesting strategy - Single Product Store!

    Meet my new site - http://timeturnernecklace.com/

    I will describe briefly the main advantages of such sites and why I think this strategy can work great for me.

    1. As you know I have about 20 dropshipping sites with many different products in various niches. For the last several months I have collected enough information to determine the best-selling products. Based on this data, now I am sure that these items are in high demand and I can create a dedicated site for each of them.

    2. Such sites are easy to create and you can make them look very attractive.

    3. I think it is much more easy to promote these sites with SEO and you can use keyword-rich domains.

    4. I was not successful with paid ads, but in my opinion Google Adwords and social media ads will work much better with single product stores.

    5. Besides I can apply the same proven strategies that successfully work with my other big sites.

    6. Easy to do A/B testing comparing with stores with multiple products.
