Finding drop shipping products from legitimate sources (as I personally experienced) was a time consuming frustrating problem that set me up to fail before I'd begun. I eventually found the solution by chance with access to a database of 5,300 pre-screened drop shipping product suppliers. Everyone is out to get you! Well, that's what it feels like sometimes and that's how I felt when I decided that things were going to get tough with the economy and I needed to earn more money.



I had heard (and experienced a little myself) all about people earning money online especially on Ebay and I decided this would fit in nicely with my lifestyle if I could source great stuff to sell. I did not want to partially import stuff in bulk and have to store it so I decided finding drop shipping products would be a great hassle free way to start my business.

My first step was the one that nearly finished my whole venture before it had started and that was finding drop shipping suppliers. There were plenty of lists advertised for sale or on a pay per view basis but these turned out to be pretty much a waste of time. Some people were no longer trading and others did not supply the goods that were listed or did not do any drop shipping also as listed.

Next relieved of my money and no further forward I tried contacting a few companies in China direct but most only dealt with container loads of goods plus I got cold feet with rumors of fakes (especially electronic goods) and stories of either receiving wrong goods or nothing at all turning up. I was ready to abandon my efforts after 4 weeks of effort as I was both irritated and upset by the number of fraudsters who wanted to rip me off. So that was that and I gave up and left it all behind and carried on with my laborious day job as before.

While I was surfing the web a few weeks after the fact, I saw a forum posting writing about a company (see resource box for details)and took a look at their website where they were offering a big database of Pre-Screened Drop Shipping Product suppliers. I have to say at this point due to my experience I was very pessimistic I'd actually find anything here worth while but the more I read and looked into them the more I was impressed. Still not thoroughly convinced though I emailed a couple of people who had posted about the company to get more information and even contacted the company themselves to ask a few questions about their services. It seemed as if I had finally found a supply source that was for real! After all, they already had 50,000 customers just like me! Surely, that was an indication that they were on the right track. I decided to sign up try them out safe in the knowledge they offered a money back guarantee if it proved another waste of time. My doubts soon reappeared when I found difficulties early on sourcing a particular kind of Canoe I was looking for but after firing off an email to the company's sourcing team I promptly received details of drop shipping supplier in Ireland and a manufacturer contact in Turkey who could possibly help me.

I'm constantly referring to the drop shipping database as it's updated regularly by a dedicated team. Obviously they can't promise you will find every product in their database but they do have offer a huge list (over 5,300 suppliers. With a support team,forum and several articles from experienced members you are never to far from help when you need it. For me this was a great solution that I wished I had discovered earlier considering the frustrating weeks of telephone calls and emails I had made and the money wasted on other so called Drop Shipping lists.
