    I am daffling in and out of the idea of starting just an online business shipping energy drinks to people.

    Does anyone know of any where I could look at good wholesaler prices? :eek:

    Depends:

    Do you want to make the drinks yourself?

    Do you want to sell premade drinks?

    Do you want to sell brand-name drinks?

    Best Energy drinks I know are from Korea they are called Bacchus D or something like that :p

    But I think you may find products made locally at wholesale prices.

    shipping is going to be a big cost. USPS flat rate boxes will be your friend.

    I agree shipping costs are probably going to cost a lot.

    I heard/read about a new energy drink that is made from the same plant that produces cocaine but I can't seem to find anything about it online but I hear its a smash where it is made. I should find that article. They are liking to hit the American market sometime within the next year.

    Shipping energy drinks is very expensive and I have connections to many large energy drink companies such as Red Bull, Crunk, Bawls, and so on and they already have distributors and have exclusive agreements with many of them so you would have to by it from a distributor yourself which would make your maximum profit go down greatly then shipping to you by them and having to ship it back out you wont be making much. Plus energy drinks are cheap it is a big investment and from what I hear selling them online is not a very good business that around over 50% of them are sold in gas stations and convenient stores.
