The Wholesale Forums

I may sound like a so called newbie thats coz i am, But i dislike dropshipping i prefare to have hold of a product know when its being sent . I dont understand companies that charge the same price for dropshipping as sending it wholesale apart from the postage. but i would much sooner stock the items myself but dont think i should pay the same as a dropshipper.

That's a new one to me.

I always find the wholesale is much cheaper than dropshipping, only time I find they are similar is if you have to pay a premium to use the companies dropshipping service.

[lori5000]

theere are companies i use that charge the same for both

[Tracy]

They shouldn't be the same

[lori5000]

apart from the postage maybe a tiny bit more but honest they are i'm in the pet industry and there are atleast 3 that are mostly on larger items.

[Tracy]

Strange, are you buying in enough quantity to hit the price break?

Also bare in mind that people who use dropshippers may not have the capital nor space to buy loads of stock, therefore making dropshipping ideal.

Think you missed the point Pat....

Hence my point.
I understand he's also discussing price points between wholesale and dropshipping, but it was a response to this.
