Finding wholesale dropship sources is one of the least fun things to do. After you wade through all the middle men and scams that are out today, you still really don’t know if they are legit or not. The fact is you will need to use a try and see method with most of these companies, but there are a few things you can do to help with your choice of a legit dropshipper or wholesaler.

Do the background checks. Look for reviews or comments on the company. Find your local search engine and plug in there name and see what comes up. Odds are, if someone is dissatisfied with their experience, its on the web somewhere. If you are thinking the a local wholesale company may be your way to go. Consider talking to people that deal with them. Ask questions such as how long have they been in business? Be weary of your answers because people believe that you may cut into their profits if they divulge too much information.

Research each company before you spend any money. If you think you’ve found a company that you can do business with, make a few orders and see if everything turns out okay before you start selling to live customers.
