• Answer:

  Hi Despite what people say there are some good companies out there who drop ship. It can be a bit of a minefield but I would say a) steer clear of companies that ask for joining fees.....these are generally set up as middle men between you and the wholesaler and this is where you will get high priced products. b) google a company before you choose to use them and make sure they have positive comments. I hold my own stock and also use a few companies that dropship my orders for me. I found my suppliers at http://www.esources.co.uk Some companies are better than others and margins for profit do vary but a good company will generally offer the product at a genuine wholesale price and then add the postage costs on top. Unfortunately DVD's and Video Games are a minefield and profits on these items are quite low. Hope this helps :-)
