Phishing, Bad service, customer theft, delayed shipments, non-delivery of goods, credit card fraud PayPal scams, change of color, change of function cancellation of orders. With activities like these it’s no wonder that sourcing new wholesale dropship suppliers is fraught with danger. Thankfully there’s a few tools at your disposal to sort the star performers from the snake-oil salesmen and best of all they’re largely free.

Using the virtual world to check the validity of wholesale dropship services saves you money and customers in real life

If you’re on the Internet looking at the benefits of wholesale dropship services as a method of supply chain management and you turn one way you see nothing but glowing reviews of how it can increase inventory, boost returns and make you look years younger.(well, maybe not years younger)

But if you turn the other way you hear horror stories about how a particular eBay trader’s seller reputation went down the toilet simply because they had chosen to chance their arm with a particular dropship company.

So what’s the real story? Is dropshipping a blessing or a curse and who should you believe?

Much like cooking the secret of dropshipping successfully, whether it’s electronics you’re dropshipping or clothes, is in where and how you get the source and how much work you put into the preparation.

In fact doing background research into potential wholesale dropship firms is often the difference between a successful partnership and a sunk business.

Here are 10 websites and Internet services that will not only save you money when tracking down a wholesale dropship supplier but cost absolutely nothing to use:

There are several whois services out there on the Internet today with perhaps the best known site being whois.net. If the dropshipper and you’re thinking of using has a website you’ll be able to see who owns the site, how long they’ve owned the site and what other sites they own simply by entering the URL into the search bar. You will have to pay for a more detailed search but you’ll get most of what you need to know from the free search

Items like these are likely to be up for review on sites like reseller rating and rate it all

Resellerrating.com is a website where you can check out user reviews of sites and see what vendors like you think of products and how well they sell.

A UK based e-commerce forum, dropshipforum.co.uk, has a fantastic section, dropship watch where you can check out to see if anybody else has had any unpleasant experience with a particular China dropshipping company or wholesale dropship company…. Another forum which casts it’s net a little wider is:

Thewholesaleforums.co.uk will help you out with more than peer reviews on wholesale dropship sources, there’s a whole raft of useful information on the site.

Rateitall.com is yet another rating site where you could get a snapshot of what people think about just about anything, from wholesale dropship companies, to cameras, to phone companies.
