Advantages and disadvantages of dropshipping
This may the continue of my previous post about the dropshipping internet business model.
What Are The Advantages Of Dropshipping?
The advantages of dropshipping are many, including:
• You can start with little or no out of pocket costs.
• You don’t have to pay for an item until it sells and your customer pays you, so your personal cash outlay for the product is zero.
• You never have to handle or warehouse the merchandise.
• You never have to fill orders.
• You can order products one at a time and have them shipped directly to your customers.
• You can also offer a wide variety of items from multiple dropshippers, and your end customer is none the wiser.
What Are The Disadvantages?
Dropshipping does have its downside. Still, if you do your homework and establish a good relationship with a reputable dropshipper, the problems you experience should be few.
The disadvantages of dropshipping include:
• You have no control over inventory management.
• You do not control product availability.
• You rely on someone else to do order fulfillment
