Interesting thread - good luck to Import Boost

I am one of the said dropshippers - but I do the drop shipping. And the vendors I sell to are all very highly rated on this forum and the 'other' one. Drop shipping in itself is not bad - it's the poor organization of either party that screws it up. My customers know how to prepare a proper PO and submit it. I know how to take that order and get it to the customer the cheapest, fastest way. I almost always ship the same day. Moreover, I make sure my customers maintain their good reputation by GETTING IT DONE. And if there is an error - I TAKE CARE OF IT.

THere is no way a vendor can stock the $$$$$ value of parts that they all list. Half of them are just listing whatever Keystone will drop ship for them. (a major performance parts WD specializing in mostly cheap crap that they are somehow still always out of) Thats why drop shipping is a necessity. I wouldn't judge a business by it's size or location. It's still up to the people running it to make it work right.

I keep my customer list pretty small - my product mix is small also so I know EXACTLY what I have and what I'm doing with it. I'm not buying a Ferrari anytime soon - but I punch a clock for no one except my customers and you guys.
