Iya, I read about drop shipping here a few days ago and I'm thinking of starting my own online business. I've been thinking of bringing products of new comers on a niche to one web store, so they could share their attention with people who know other brands of the same niche and grow their client amounts. Sounds gr8 eh? The thing that I am wondering in this is how do I control the shipping costs? If a customer orders something from three different brands through my site, they pay for shipping to three different brands, unlike in web stores that have the products in their own storage. How do I solve this problem?
You get on alibaba a tell the dumb chinks to lower shipping or you will take business else where.

when's the ICO?

you include shipping costs in the price of the product

That would ramp the shipping costs pretty high up, is my idea destined to go to shit?

what are you talking about
instead of selling product X for $5 + $5 shipping you sell it for 10$ + free shipping, this way the customer doesn't pay for shipping multiple times
I've been dropshipping on amazon/ebay for the last 10 months and I've never had a customer order multiple items, I've seen your question asked a lot actually

I'm thinking of making my own web store not amazon, so ordering two products from the same brand becomes cheaper than buy two products from two different brands i nterms of shipping, but yeah I guess I can use that.
How do you explain to the customer the long shipping times (2-4 weeks) when reselling chinese stuff? Domestic shipping takes a week max.
Do you accept ETH?

from my experience i'd advise either only selling to the US with ePacket (7-14 transit time) or only dropshipping from local suppliers (not china)

You're better off ordering the stuff in advance and selling it.

There is money to be made but I'm transitioning towards the crypto crowd. They need a way to buy things, and I'm in the firearms niche (no actual guns, just ammo and accessories).
I hope within a month I'm up and running, drop shipping and selling from location ammunition and accessories for firearms, allowing people to pay with bitcoins and other coins.
