Drop Shipping is one of the most risk free ways to sell products on the internet and other mail order retail outlets. You advertise products provided by the drop shipping company on your own internet store to sell to customers who visits your web site. A customer sees the product and decides to buy it. You turn around and go to a drop shipper company and order the product, at a cost significantly lower than you sold it for.
HOW IT WORKS?
Here is a little more detail on how drop shipping services typically work in helping you earn an income from the comfort of your own home without stocking any products physically yourself.
STEP 1
you post products for sale using online auctions, forums, your own E-Commerce web site, retail outlets or offline sales ads. You may choose whatever medium you feel will generate sales, but i5 Networks recommends at least owning an E-commerce web site.
Once you have made a sale, you simply collect your customers? funds for the retail price of that sale, including the Shipping and Handling charges you add to their cost. You can accept personal checks, money orders, credit cards, PayPal, or any payment method you would like when collecting payments from your customers. It's entirely your business to run as you see fit.
STEP 2
After you have taken your customers order and their payment, you place an exact copy of the order with the Dropshipper company and they will "drop ship" it to your Customers directly. In most cases, you can place the order simply by visiting the supplier's web site or fax/emailing in the order. You just specify the customers shipping address.
STEP 3
The Dropshipping company will receive your dropship order, immediately process it and ship the order out to your customers.
