Drop Ship Wholesaler Scams
The problem is that the really good drop ship wholesalers don't need to advertise their existence, so it can be difficult to find them.
And if you go searching for a drop ship wholesaler and decide to do business with a distributor that is highly visible, odds are that that distributor is a scam or already overused, and thus too competitive to be profitable.
The best drop ship wholesalers don't need to advertise because they already know where to find their preferred customers - already well-established retailers.
Therefore, the good drop ship wholesalers are not going to be advertising their services online or on search engines.
The pseudo-supplier that will be advertising on search engines will most be scams.
The situation has devolved to a point where a bunch of drop ship wholesaler scammers are competing against one another online for the top rankings on all of the search engines.
So, how can we know a good drop ship wholesaler from a bad one? It will take a bit of detective work on your part.
One thing you should avoid are the pay-for-access to drop ship wholesaler directories.
The very nature of the drop ship wholesaler industry one of secrecy, so such a hidden market will inevitably create a bunch of scammers trying to promote themselves as legitimate information peddlers.
They will tell you that they can provide you with contact information for hundreds of drop ship wholesalers if you only pay them a few hundred dollars.
What ends up happening is that you get a list of useless companies after forking over your cash.
Such drop ship wholesaler list sellers have been on the internet for many years, still selling the same directory list they were using in the 20th century.
Not only are many of the links dead, but some of the companies listed are scams themselves.
Others just give you a list of companies from a search engine result.
And some of the drop ship wholesalers on the list sell to anyone, which means they aren't wholesalers but retailers.
If you want to buy such a drop ship wholesaler list, find out how the list was compiled and what kinds of distributors are included, be they electronics, sporting equipment or whatever.
And be sure that they offer a refund if you are not satisfied with their list.
There are some directories that are useful and legitimate, but they are going to be hard to find.
And besides, you shouldn't be spending money to find out information that is already public.
