I do wholesale, I have the capital and the space, and I'd much rather know that I'm selling good quality goods that I have personally seen, that I'm packing them in a manner that I trust, and that I'm dispatching them in good time.
I have nothing against drop shippers, I think its great for people who don't have the capital or space, but I have a thing against putting my trust in others when my reputation is on the line. That and I read so many horror stories about drop shippers not sending goods, or being sold out when you go to order.
I know this is not a thing with all drop shippers, but its kind of like the China thing, once bitten twice shy, I will never buy from China again, I know there are honest traders out there, but its not worth the risk.
