Of course you can have them sent directly to you. Most dropshippers are actually wholesalers who "do their customers a favor" and ship to the customer's customer.

In fact, if you are buying any quantity, you can often get a better price by buying in case quantities, or just a higher value order.

If you do / when you have found a good dropshipper that you trust, you should always do a test order to either yourself, or a close friend - just to see ehat they do, how long delivery takes, and if they mention their own details to try and take your customers.

Don't worry, about asking questions, we all had to start at the same place you are, and we are all learning every day.
