What is Drop Shipping?
Drop Shipping is a method of selling products without having to stock any inventory. With this method of sales, you (as a middleman) sell single items and then order the product from the manufacturers or major stock distributors. Then they drop ship the merchandise directly to your customers.
This benefits both you and the manufacturer. The manufacturer gains additional sales which they do not have to advertise. You do not have to spend lots of money for an inventory or the risks involved with having a large stock of items. You also benefit because you do not have to pay for storage, insurance, overhead or personnel. This allows you to concentrate on sales and advertising functions.
How Drop Shipping Works
First you have to find a distributor who is willing to drop ship products that you want to sell and that will be us, natashamall.com. It should be noted that you are not a drop shipper - you are going to become a stockless retailer. After you find a distributor, you establish an account as a retailer for them. You can do this by creating an account with us. Please refer to "How to Order" page in this website.
Next, you create an online store which displays the images and descriptions they provide you for the products you want to offer. When a visitor sees a product they want, they purchase the item through your online store and arrange payment through your shopping cart and payment gateway.
You place an order with us for the item(s) providing them with your customer's name and other information. We will then use the information you provided to ship the product to your customer. We can package the product with your store's name and address on the package so the customer never knows the difference! We charge you with the discounted price (for members) plus shipping (which you have already received from your customer).
