Default Video Games Dropshipping

Hey everyone,

We've had a number of enquiries regarding dropshipping, and as we don't currently offer this service to our customers we are considering on doing so.

Would love to get your feedback on whether you would go for this option?

We'd also love for you to post up too...

Thanks

We've considered this ourselves. It's one of the questions we hear most. The problem with being an actual dropshipper is controlling how many items your customers sells. Then they'll want to order from you to have the item dropshipped but you're out of stock and then problems start arising. Still, if you could create a good workable system for it then go for it!

Great idea - but a stupid poll.

Who wouldn't be interested in a Reliable Games Dropshipper ?

Me - because I'd know that I could control it better myself and make more profit

Agreed. This industry in particular isn't suited to dropshipping in my opinion.

Games dropshipping is something that people ask me all the time, but the margins in games is very small. I dont have time for someone to list something 3 or 4 times before they sell it, I need stock in and then out. I personally dont want the hassle of people moaning once they sell something, that it is no longer in stock.
