A question about dropshipping shipping
Hello, Today I found a good product from cjdropshipping and the supplier has discounted the price. He said the average delivery time to the United States is 6-10 days using the CJPacket Fast US shipping method and when the Product goes to the USA it will be delivered to the customer via USPS and will provide a USPS shipping tracking number. My question here is, for example, an order came in from eBay today and the item was shipped from Supplier, I marked it as shipped from eBay, but after 5-6 days I will enter the USPS shipping tracking number. Would this be an issue for eBay account health? I've never done a dropshipping sale before and I'm not quite sure what's going to happen.
Thanks for the answers. |

Re: A question about dropshipping shipping
Its going to make your shipping times looks really slow - just counter that with a 4 day handling time
That in itself may put-off buyers but it is better than having poor delivery times |

Re: A question about dropshipping shipping
it is better to import products first , USA seller + USA location = higher price and customer satisfaction
shipping from china is the other way around |

Re: A question about dropshipping shipping
Thank you for the answers. Although the shipping time that the supplier said at first is a bit short, it still makes more sense to import the products as you said. However, I have been doing price research from US suppliers for a few days. For example, a product with a supplier price of $30 is available for $30-35 on eBay, while there is an FBA seller at $22 on Amazon. Apart from that, the product prices of the US suppliers are very high. In this case, can we say that the Dropshipping business is over? |

| Not all imported goods can be sold, this is a problem. |

| You can do it, but I would suggest 3-5 days handling time and then you can work with it. |

Yes, it provides China tracking number first, then USPS tracking number 5-6 days later. But for now, it seems more logical to buy the products in advance. |

Thanks for the answers.
| My advice is if you really think this product can sell , You can import small batch from CJ to your US warehouse , Then in your ebay listing you can mark " Ship from US " , This is a better way to increase conversion and shipping speed , As most of US buyers prefer faster shipping with US stocked items |

| This product I mentioned is not available on Amazon, it was just a product on CJdropshipping. I came across the FBA vendor you mentioned in my price research with US suppliers. In general, the supplier prices I found were much higher than Amazon prices. So dropshipping from the USA seems illogical to me. |
