How to find genuine dropshippers?

    How exactly do you find genuine dropshippers? I found lots of sites but their prices are very high of they have broken links which doesn't look good.

    So how do you get a good dropshipper?

    Dont buy dropshipping lists on ebay for a start they are usually just full of rubbish

    What i used to do when i did dropshipping was contact wholesalers and see if they would dropship there products

    Took a lot of time to find some that would but its better than a list full of scam websites

    you want to get in touch with the manufacturer or distributor directly. cut out the middle man and never, ever pay for a dropshipper or a dropshipping list

    Great advice, thanks. My task today was to begin looking for a dropshipper.

    I would have thought that you would have to have some volume for the manufacturer to drop ship.

    yep, that the most common site that I have heard for dropshipping. Another one that you might want to consider is www.dropshippernetwork.net. A disclaimer, as I was referred to it, but am not a customer.

    I agree with the other 2 posters -- go with WorldWide Brands. They are the only dropship/wholesaler source that is certified by ebay. Eventually you'll want to establish a good relationship with a drop shipper and go direct with them. But the problem is unless you know someone else that has used them it's all trial and error and could be a huge headache for yourself. WorldWide Brands is a good place to start since they weed out all the bad drop shipper contacts. I think they still have their 30 or 60 day money back guarantee also so it's the safest route to go.

    The only thing about worldwide brands is that they are used by everybody, which is not good for competition, seeing as how everyone is going to be selling the same products. also, they have alot of affiliates promoting their product

    Yes, it is used by lots of people, but not everyone is selling the same products. For example, they have electronics, hookah, yoga, etc

    Well I don't use them currently, but I did have an account years ago and they didn't offer me any good sources, especially in the electronics category. Also, I am not familiar with hookah, and I doubt if they have a yoga category :D

    worldwidebrands is selling a product called Onesource, which is a database of wholesalers, liquidators, and dropshippers. They are not a wholesaler themselves but they can give you info on wholesalers if you are willing to pay for their product. If anyone is looking for dropshipping info, pm me and I can give you the best sources
