A question about dropshipping shipping

[calvin07]

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.

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

it is better to import products first , USA seller + USA location = higher price and customer satisfaction

shipping from china is the other way around

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.

No, the product is an unbranded kitchen product.

Thanks for the answers.

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

your buyers of this kitchen product should be aware it's coming from china...if they expect shipping from north america...you could be getting complaints

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

Thanks for your answer, what you said makes sense, and I will make my choice in this direction. shipping from chine doesn't make much sense

WHY DONT YOU BUY FROM THE AMZN seller who use AMZN FBA AT $22,HE MAY GIVE YOU A VOLUME DISCOUNT

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.
