Join Our Dropship Club- No Thanks
by Robert Cyr on September 9th, 2009
There is something backwards about this idea of charging someone to sell your inventory. Of course I am talking about excessive dropshipping fees and membership kits that a supplier might force you to buy if you want the privilege of selling their stock.
We will dropship to your clients, just pay our $129.99 dropship club fee and you can be off and running your business today!
Dropshipping Club? What is that about….? Do I get membership card or some sort of vest to wear on Tuesdays?
No, its just a fee we charge to give you the privilege of buying our inventory. Oh, and did we mention each time you make a purchase from us we will charge you a dropshipping fee per box shipped?
Alright, all kidding aside. I personally pay huge amounts of money on PPC campaigns, banner advertising, affiliate program management with the intent to bring sales to my company. Traffic to my website translates to sales and traffic is not cheap. If I can lower my marketing expenses and still make a sale working with an outside sales force, please sign me up!
I never understood the idea of charging someone to sell my inventory. If someone wants to collect money and handle all aspects of customer service while I ship a product out to their client…I say go for it!
