In this article, I will discuss the answers to two main questions regarding dropship product sourcing: what companies dropship and where do I find them?

A dropshipping company is a supplier who will send out products one at a time based on the request of its customers' needs instead of shipping out products in bulk. This allows internet and brick and morter companies to have the products they sell shipped out one at a time instead of holding inventory.

One specific form of dropshipping is blind dropshipping. I would suggest using this form of dropshipping because the dropshipper will actually put your companies address as the return address. This means that when your customer gets the package, your return address will appear and not the dropshippers.

There are a few different ways a dropshipper can be found. Some are easier than others; I will discuss three of them: directories, manufacturers, and basic search engine searches done on your own.

A drop shipper directory is designed to help a business find a drop ship supplier with the least amount of time spent since the directory should be designed for easy searching. For example, there are some directories which will actually do the product research for you. Gogo Dropship, for example, has an entire product research team dedicated to researching and finding additional drop shippers to fit their customers needs.

Gogo Dropship has the largest dropship directory available. This is a great alternative to getting discouraged trying to find a supplier; let someone else do the dirty work for you and you can reap the benefits.

A lot of times larger manufacturers do not accept drop shipping. Smaller companies, however, are more likely to accept applicants for drop shipping. Make sure you call the company and ask them what needs to be done to get started. A lot of times there is a fee to be paid for the service and most often there is a bit of paperwork that needs to be filled out for the records of the dropshipper.

Another way to find a drop shipper that takes more time but can be done by anyone with an internet connection is searching for one using search engines such as Google and Yahoo. The hard thing with running a search on your own is that you may not know exactly what you are looking for. If you let professionals handle the searching, you are sure to be able to get what you need.

You see, all in all, it is not too difficult to find a drop shipper to fit the needs of your company or someone else's.
