6) Will you give me product photos and product descriptions that I can use on my own site?

9) What will you put on the shipping label/invoice?

While the company shouldn’t put the price on the label or invoice of the item they’re shipping a good wholesale dropship company will also leave the price off as well. Why? Simply because it’s not good for a customer to give you $200 for a mobile phone and then have them wonder why the mobile phone they paid for has $150 on the box label.

10) Will you give me any hints or resources on how to manage my e-commerce business?

Dropshipping is a service-based operation. So it goes without saying then that the dropshipper should offer you more services then just the products, pictures and descriptions.
