What is the difference between dropshipping and regular shipping ?
Public Comments
- Regular shipping is when you pack something up and send it to your customer. Drop shipping is when you call the factory and tell THEM to ship the product to your customer.
- Regular is when you ship to your customer Drop shipping is when the manufacturer sends the product from their warehouse to your customer for you. (you never have to touch the product)
- Drop shipping means that a company does not keep anything in stock. When you order something they contact the source who ships it to you and gives the seller a commission. Retailers that drop ship merchandise from wholesalers may take measures to hide this fact to avoid any stigma, or to keep the wholesale source from becoming widely known. This can be affected by "blind shipping" (shipping merchandise without a return address), or "private label shipping" (having merchandise shipped from the wholesaler with a return address customized to the retailer). A customized packing slip may also be included by the wholesaler, indicating the retailer's company name, logo, and/or contact information.
