im working at the moment but only part time as there is no overtime at the moment, im looking to do a little dropshipping to take up my spare time as well as make me some extra £££ too. i was just wondering what people think of it? the pros and cons? i haven't done it before but have considered it, is it worth doind?, also does anyone have any contact details for a proven dropshipper, someone i know i can trust. all advice is really appreciated and contact details would be a huge bonus!

thanks all

I used to use drop shippers a lot when I was running my Ebay store full time, but since I scaled it right down after taking on the pub I don't use them anymore. generally they are good but there will always be some rotten apples...you cant make much money though, I think i paid mine about 7 pence per item drop shipping fee, but they were posting out about 1000 items per week so I guess it can add up....

You should place some trial orders to see how they are sent and look out for good packaging, invoices sent to the right place and that stock is available when they say it is.

You could close down in days if your suppliers can't do what they say they can.
