Using a dropshipper can be a convenient and cost effective way for an ECA to operate. However, there are also risks such as unreliability. Here are the best ways to use a dropshipper:
1. Research- Do your homework; find out how quickly this dropshipper will process orders, how reliable they have been in the past, how responsive they are to queries and so on.
2. Testing- Place a few orders yourself so that you will know first hand what the quality of products you offer will be like, how appropriately it was packaged and how quickly it arrived.
3. Communication and follow-up- Ensure the dropshipper has good and reliable supply of products in stock. Contact with the dropshipper should be made in the shortest possible time after receiving payment from your customer so that the shipper can commence processing. Also, encourage feedback from your customers so that you can have a better understanding of any issues they may have had which may require you to keep or change your dropshipper.
