    Hi:

    I am looking for real wholesale dropshippers in Canada.

    Also, I am looking for companies in Canada that deal with liquidations and closeouts.

    Thanks.

    I have never seen a Canadian dropshipper but i hear requests for them all the time. Perhaps someone should move to Canada and set one up. You'd probably make a killing.

    I went to surplus.net and looked up some liquidators.

    Be very careful when dealing with dealers from that site. Anyone can set themselves up as a dealer if they have the money and I personally have never had a good experience there.

    For the most part, I find that most suplus dealers use alot of hype and they constantly misrepresent their loads, especially the surplus brokers.

    Be careful.

    I have spent some time looking for Canadian dropshippers - found a few that obviously buy from US dropshippers and claim to be Canadian dropshippers.

    I have found a few Canadian manufacturers/wholesalers of specific products that will dropship (stuffed animals, BBQ sauce, ...), but no general merchandise wholesale dropshippers.

    I have approached a few wholesalers and proposed the idea of dropshipping - not much interest shown. :(

    Ahhh! But approach them about dropshipping once you have been successful and you are moving alot of product and they just might seriously consider it.

    What folks do not realize is that most real, legitimate wholesalers do not like to advertise on the net where the average pajama biz opp seeker can find them. And furthermore, they aren't going to advertise dropship fulfillment services sdo as to not get flooded with request ot dropship from ebayers and non-serious, non-productive wannabes. They may be definitly into providing such a service but only to serious sellers that actually move a significant amount of product so as to make dropshipping worth their while.

    I know a person who sells security equipment and police and fire compnay equipment. He is very sucessful as an internat company that sells mainly within his state. He eventually got a couple of major ditributors and manufacturers ot dropship mosr product for him. He only stocks the relaly small stuff, but they dropship the big heavy stuff for him (like fire trucks :wink:).

    He had one of his suppliers absolutely refuse to dropship for him. So he dropped that supplier once he found others that would. Once that supplier found out how successful he became and that they lost alot of money by not working with him, they contacted him telling him that they reconsidered and would dropship for him. Guess what? He dclined. He no longer needed them and was able to tell them to go to hell. that, to me, is a really good feeling when you can tell a supplier you do not need him because you have other suppliers that trat you better. Usually you have to kiss a suppliers a$$ so turning the tables on them can give you are real boost in confidence and make you feel good.
