I've known only bad experiences with drop shipping, I worked with a company netdropshipper.com which turned out to be fraudulent. Charge backs are a major issue, if you do consider going the drop shipping route make sure to look over the return and refund policy. Currently I don't know of a legit drop shipping site thats any good, and I don't suggest paying just to find one.

only bad stuff heard from dropshipping, and unfair prices : ebay market price cheaper than dropship site prices.

The thing with dropshipping is that when these big name companies offer these products the market becomes so saturated that you cant really make a profit off of them. I suggest you contact a legit company and just simply ask if they would be willing to offer it.

Why not you would be bring money to him that he wouldnt have otherwise.

If you want to offer beerboots dropshipped I offer them eheh www.beerboots.ca

if done properly in the right market with the right product drop shipping can be very profitable in large quantity's. now a days to make money on ebay with a dropshipper you have to selling 100 items a day making few $ profit on each item.

the real money is in buying in bulk and reselling for a profit.
www.deal-shop.net is a decent drop shipper.

u need to sell in large amount, as the profit is too little.

no supply arrangement is good without the proper management. If i were you i would strike out on your own and contact smaller companies who are willing to ship under your label. Or wholesalers who will ship under your label. Id be careful with any company who states that their dropshippers. many bad experiences, and usually their retailers looking to open a new market. prices are higher. your the retailer remember looking to open a new market. some wholesalers will open up to this some wont.

i tried dropshipping, and I had similar experiences the one posters above. IMO, you're better off doing commission junction type setups for ebay/amazon etc.

yeah basically all the drop shippers on the net are a rip of and you will never sell you gear

the only way to get hooked up with a drop shipper is to have a personal contact in a company, or have a big presence already.

ecommerce is way to hard, because you are one very small fish in a very very very large ocean.

try blogging about a niche and earning some adsense on teh side instead.

go with ClickBank or Commission Junction

there are decent profit margins and its a good way of getting experience marketing with almost no risk

drop shipping has a big risk and lower profit margins, but is very profitable if you become a bigger fish....

recommendation: grow first..... then you might want to put a finger in teh ecommerce pie.

I agree with all above because most of the times there is more talk and less work and more paper work then selling of products or doing something for a website.

I used them about 4 years ago, They hook you up with individual companies, that dropship, I did pretty good with a candle company they hooked me up with.

If you are able to access a drop shipper, merely by googling dropshippers, They are most likely not legit.

I think its still very hard to make money with Worldwidebrands.com... the reason is these companies make money out of people just randomly surfing on the net

the reality is if you want to go into this sort of business you have to be very serious about it to get the sort of connections you need..... very serious...

there are much easier ways to make money on the web (but i will have to kill you if i told you them!)

I agree with .X. "If you are able to access a drop shipper, merely by googling dropshippers, They are most likely not legit."

most serious companies dont advertise dropshipping, but if you contact them, they are open to it. I have tried this once, its easier to startup a dropshipping business, but dont get fooled by that, you have to work as hard as any other "normal" business, if you want to make it serious.

I dont have any "one" link to give you, its better if you try contact the companies individually.

Best regards and good luck.

I have used dropshippers and have had good but mostly bad experiences. Usually the dropshippers have already high prices and you won't be able to compete especially on ebay. You could end up wasting alot of money on ebay fees. Also many dropshippers especially the big companies have very bad service or are simply scammers. The few good dropshippers I have found usually are in a small niche. If you find a good dropshipper with a decent selection they usually don't have a datafeed which makes it hard to list the products without doing alot of data entry work.

A few sites I would recommend
www.koehlerhomedecor.com
www.fragrancenet.com
www.mastervisions.com
