DROP SHIP EXPLAINED.

A LOT OF CUSTOMERS ASK WHAT IS A DROP SHIP SERVICE AND WHY DON’T I USE IT. HERE IS A BRIEF EXPLANATION FOR THOSE OF YOU UNFAMILIAR WITH DROP SHIP SERVICES.

A DROP SHIP SERVICE IS IN VERY SIMPLE TERMS A THIRD PARTY WHO STOCKS MULTIPLE ITEMS ON BEHALF OF RETAILERS. THIS MEANS THAT THE SELLER OFFERING THE ITEMS FOR SALE DOES NOT HAVE THE ITEM IN STOCK. IN MANY CASES THE SELLER WILL NOT EVEN HAVE SEEN A SAMPLE OF THE PRODUCT THEY ARE SELLING. THE SALES INFORMATION AND GUIDE PRICES, ALONG WITH PRODUCT INFORMATION ARE SUPPLIED BY THE DROP SHIPPER. THIS MEANS THE SELLER HAS VERY LITTLE OUTLAY, AS THEY DO NOT NEED TO KEEP ANY ITEMS IN STOCK. THIS MEANS THAT THE SELLER’S ONLY FINANCIAL OUTLAY/INVESTMENT IS IN ACTUALLY ADVERTISING THE ITEMS THEY DO NOT ACTUALLY HAVE.

ONCE THE SELLER HAS A PAYING CUSTOMER FOR THE GOODS HE DOES NOT HAVE IN STOCK HE TRANSFERS THE CUSTOMERS ORDER, INCLUDING THEIR PERSONAL DETAILS TO THE DROP SHIPPER WHO THEN SENDS THE ITEM TO THE CUSTOMER ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER. THE DROP SHIPPER THEN CHARGES THE SELLER THE WHOLESALE PRICE FOR THE ITEM PLUS THE POSTAGE AND A HANDLING FEE. USUALLY THE DROP SHIPPER WILL ALSO INCLUDE THE SELLERS BUSINESS DETAILS ON THE INVOICE. THIS WAY THE CUSTOMER HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING A DROP SHIP SERVICE HAS BEEN USED.

THIS ON PAPER THIS SOUNDS LIKE A VERY GOOD PROPOSITION AND IN CERTAIN AREAS IT CAN WORK WELL FOR BOTH THE SELLER AND THE DROP SHIPPER. HOWEVER, THERE ARE CERTAIN AREAS FOR THE CUSTOMER WHERE THINGS CAN AND DO GO WRONG.

THESE INCLUDE;

YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS ARE PASSED BETWEEN SELLER AND DROP SHIPPER TO COMPLETE THE ORDER. IT HAS BEEN KNOWN THAT YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS ARE THEN USED OR ‘SOLD’ TO MAILING LISTS WISHING TO OFFER YOU EITHER SIMILAR PRODUCTS OR ALTERNATIVE PROMOTIONS. OF COURSE IT IS NOT IMPLIED THAT EVERY SELLER OR DROP SHIPPER SELLS OR USES YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS IN AN INCORRECT MANNER.

DELAYS IN RECEIVING ORDERED GOODS DUE TO CONTACT REQUIRED BETWEEN SELLER AND DROP SHIPPER.

SEVERE DELIVERY DELAYS CAUSED (VERY COMMON) BECAUSE THE DROP SHIPPER HAS ACTUALLY SOLD OUT OF AN ITEM THAT THE SELLER HAS SOLD UNAWARE THAT THE DROP SHIPPER HAS ALREADY SOLD OUT.

THE DROP SHIPPER MAY HAVE DISCONTINUED AN ITEM WHICH THE SELLER IS UNAWARE OF AND IS STILL OFFERING THE ITEM FOR SALE.

ON ALL MY LISTINGS YOU WILL SEE THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE NOTE ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE IN STOCK. I DO NOT USE A DROP SHIPPER LIKE MANY OTHER SELLER'S DO. THIS MEANS YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS ARE NEVER PASSED TO A THIRD PARTY AS THEY ARE WITH SELLER'S WHO USE DROP SHIP SERVICES.

THIS MEANS:

AS WELL AS PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS ALL OF THE ITEMS OFFERED FOR SALE ARE IN STOCK.

ITEMS CAN BE DISPATCHED TO MY CUSTOMERS VERY QUICKLY, WHICH GENERALLY MEANS A VERY FAST DELIVERY WORLDWIDE (SEE FEEDBACK).

BECAUSE THE ITEMS ARE ALL IN STOCK THERE IS NEVER A QUESTION AS TO WHETHER AN ITEM HAS ALREADY SOLD OUT AS CAN HAPPEN WITH A DROP SHIP SERVICE.

BECAUSE THE ITEMS ARE IN STOCK CUSTOMERS QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED QUICKLY AND HONESTLY DUE TO THE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE OF BUYING AND HANDLING ALL OF THE PRODUCTS SOLD.

ALL OUR ITEMS ARE SENT UNDER PLAIN WRAPPER AND WITHIN 48 HOURS OF PAYMENT CLEARANCE DURING BUSY PERIODS. ALTHOUGH MOST ITEMS ARE NORMALLY SENT WITHIN 24 HOURS WHEREVER POSSIBLE.

PLEASE REMEMBER: YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY IS MY PRIME CONCERN YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS WILL NEVER BE RELEASED TO A THIRD PARTY.

THANKS FOR LOOKING

Kind Regards,

Karina.
