Tons of people are now getting into the world of dropshipping as they look to make some cash for themselves during the current credit crunch. Because of this many are looking for a dropship review on the companies they find. Reviews can be a good way of finding out about a product but they can also be put to use by con artist so can you really trust something as important as a business venture on the words of a review by an author you know little about?



Unfortunately it is very tough to know the honest reviews from those that are a complete lie. You may be wondering why someone would lie and write a dishonest review but it really is straight forward.

The companies themselves are usually responsible for the misleading reviews in one of several ways. The majority of sites will be put up by the company themselves although some will also pay for a good review to be posted by a blog or website owner.

This does make it a lot harder to find a dropshipper you can trust using a dropship review. If you want to therefore know for sure you are also going to have to conduct a little of your own research.

One place you should be looking at to improve your knowledge of a company is to check out a few of the forums that are related to dropshipping. They may not be totally trustworthy but by searching for feedback from members you may get nearer the truth, just be cautious of comments by any member that has relatively few posts as they could be spamming the forum.

I would also suggest that you test any contact details, such as a telephone number, to see if they are genuine. Also be sure to make sure the company are not a reseller instead of a wholesaler. You will find it almost impossible to make a profit if you are getting products from a reseller as opposed to a wholesaler.

Going through all this every time you need to test a company can be time consuming and painstaking but it is required to avoid a scam. An easier way is to simply use a dropship directory. These will provide a large list of dropshippers and, most importantly honest reviews written by there members.

One thing that may be seen as a negative about using a directory though is that the better ones will have a membership fee involved. This however is to be expected as they do have staff to pay and other expenses. One big benefit of a fee though is that it tends to keep the scammers out meaning that any reviews or feedback found within the members area will most likely be legitimate.

Looking for an honest dropship review can be very difficult and also take a lot of effort so I would advise spending a little on a membership fee for a directory as in the long run this will increase the speed of your dropshipping venture becoming profitable. If for whatever reason you do not want to use a directory then please be careful and look into each company thoroughly before using them.
