    Hi Yaros,

    First of all thank you for sharing your experience.

    I'm starting my own drop shipping company, just like you I would like to offer Free Worldwide Shipping. The problem is that so far i haven't found any supplier that can deliver free shipping all over the world (they do offer it for most countries).

    So I wonder, how are you finding suppliers that offer free worldwide shipping. Is there a filter on Aliexpress that I mist or something?

    1. I would recommend focusing on a niche, easier to promote and no point to create another AliExpress.
    2. Yes, you can use a PayPal business account.

    Yaros,
    First thank you for sharing your journey and by doing so providing invaluable insight into this process. I do have a few questions, I would be grateful if you could respond.

    I am researching and considering going into partnership with Ali Express. I do have a few questions.
    1. I checked out the websites that have demos and when I look at the Meet our team portion on each site, these look like stock photos and are pretty much the same on each of the websites. Can that be changed? How simple is it to do that.
    2.Also I noticed a lot of the wording - i.e. Q/A, about us etc are the same, can I change that? How difficult is that process?
    3.You mentioned sending email reminders to customers who have left things in carts, is that included in one of the packages? Or is that something separate I would have to add?
    4. When customers place orders is there a place to sign up for emails to get reminders from the store?
    Thank you so much for sharing a little about your journey w/ us.

    1. This is a template, you can easily change the photos in customisation menu.
    2. Yes, you can change these easily.
    3. Yes, abandoned cart functionality is included.
    4. Customers get email notifications automatically when you change the order status.

    Yaros.... I love your work and your sites. It would be amazing if your team could create an Amazon Affiliate Plugin.... just like your Aliplugin "Affiliate Site" plugin... I'll buy it in 1 second..!!!!!

    Is this a possibility..???

    Yaros,

    What is the difference in purchasing your Ali Drop ship plugin versus getting a ready made site from AliExpress?

    The difference is that if you buy a custom store service, my team will develop it for you.

    Hi, Yaros,

    Thanks for all your info and I have read all 43 pages , also your website for all supporting articles. It helps a lot and really make me want to do the drop ship now. Since I have no html or web background, so decided to get the $299 turnkey solution.

    Before made the purchase, here are some questions I currently have. Sent email to for a week and get no reply. Looks like the forum is the best way to contact you. Could you please kindly help on them? Thanks.

    1. If I order the custom store from you, do I have to order the domain name and server storage from someone else like godaddy first? Or you will provide that? And all pictures of products, will that from the Ali server, or we have to rent a server to storage them?

    2. Will there be login system for customer to save their account info, and track orders?
    3. If so, is it possible for me to export those customer info?
    4. Since I also have ebay and Amazon stores, is that possible to import my ebay/ amazon product info into the new website, also export the website products to ebay and amazon?
    5. After import from Aliexpress, if I updated the title or description, or pictures, next time once I syncwith Ali again, will those changes keep or I have to do it again?
    6. I know your team will help to create logos, banners. But how about other contents like FAQs, about us, and other info pages?
    7. If the products not really working well, possible to change to another niche for the same store or do I have to buy another store for the another niche?

    Thanks,

    Thank you for your interest!

    1. Domain is included in the package, but you need to have a registered Godaddy account that we can transfer domain. You can use your hosting solution or purchase it from us.
    2. Yes, personal accounts are available.
    3. You can export only customer emails.
    4. The plugin works with AliExpress only.
    5. The system updates only the stock, pricing and check availability of a product on AliExpress.
    6. They are setup automatically, then it's up to you what info you can set there. It is your business, not mine.
    7. if the domain is ok for another niche you can change products anytime.

    Thanks a lot, Yaros. I am going to place order now.

    Quick question, the website only has the quote button, and no payment option. Should I just leave the email and waiting for you guys to contact me?

    Yaros, some questions:
    1. how do we report bugs, give feedback or suggest a feature to you or your team?
    2. Rather than Aweber, can we use Mailchimp to setup subscription form?

    One more question Yaros: on the latest version of alidropship, there is currency exchange rates. How can we update the exchange rates? I see there is no button to update it. And also the "last update" info for exchange rates is always "NaN"
