Contacting Suppliers

    Hi,

    Not a classic case of drop shipping, but let's say a small retailer wants to sell off-the-shelf products from other stores on our own online store. The deliveries are done on our own as well. In short:
    product order took online -> bought from the seller on retail price -> Delivered to the buyer (retail price + profit%)

    The question is: how important it is to contact the supplier in this case when we are buying on the retail price only? especially, when the metrics for online traffic and order quantity are unknown.

    Please, help me out here and back your answers with reasons.

    Cheers!!
