 An increase in online retail shopping means higher profit margins for dropshippers. This increase then means that dropshippers should have a reliable supplier, right? In today's video, we're going to be covering the top 16 US dropshipping suppliers that you should be using for your Shopify store. So stay tuned, hit that subscribe button and let's go! Many dropshippers opt to work with Chinese suppliers due to their low cost. However, there are other important factors that we should take into consideration when choosing a supplier for the US markets, such as higher quality products and faster shipping, both of which are included when working with a US supplier and selling in the US markets. So without further ado, let's jump straight into our Shopify US dropshipping supplier list. Okay, so our first supplier is eBay. While eBay started as a platform for online auctions, today it is one of the biggest marketplaces online. Dropshipping from eBay to Shopify opens up a world of trending products to sell. Some of the pros for using eBay as a supplier includes millions of products in various categories always means there's something to find on eBay. eBay enforces its sellers to be highly customer-orientated and provides both buyer and seller protection, so we'll always get what we order and on time. It's also really easy to spy on your competition and to see what's trending on eBay. By simply searching for a product or niche, we can see how many sellers are selling it along with the amounts of sales that they've been making. On the downside, however, eBay is an open marketplace, meaning there are thousands of sellers with various shipping and return policies. Since the competition is so big, it is more challenging to find trending products from eBay to sell on Shopify. So up next, we have Wayfair. Wayfair specializes in the home goods niche and offers everything a home may need. Wayfair offers a large selection of furniture, home appliances, garden necessities, and anything else that is home-orientated. They also offer fast shipping options due to their domestic warehouses. Wayfair also has a My Way program. This program is beneficial for dropshippers as they receive free shipping on any order. They also receive members exclusive products along with free one-day shipping for eligible products. The best part about using Wayfair is that you can use PayPal for your purchases and take advantage of easy and secure transactions. The only downside to using Wayfair is that there is a niche limitation. This is because Wayfair's products belong to the home goods market. Our third supplier is AliExpress. So AliExpress is based in China, but they have warehouses that are situated around the US. They also have a large online retail platform offering various product categories for dropshippers, which essentially means that we aren't restricted to any specific niche. We can also change the Ship2 option to the United States in the right-hand corner. We can then run a search for any product or niche. We can then change the ShipFrom option to the US. Now we're able to see all the products that you're able to ship from and to the United States. Here are some of the benefits that you'll be able to experience when using AliExpress as your supplier. An unlimited product range, meaning you have a wall of opportunities when choosing which products to sell on your Shopify dropshipping store. Not to mention the low-cost and domestic warehouses, which means that we're able to offer fast shipping to our US customers. On the other hand, low-cost often comes with lower product quality, so we have to make sure that we check the product reviews diligently. Another thing is, although there is fast shipping, there are no bundle options, which means that products are then shipped separately, which can be an inconvenience. Lastly, their customer support is not really up to standards in comparison to other suppliers, and this could be because of the language barriers considering that their main location is China. The dropshipping supplier coming in at number four is Costway. Costway has grown to be one of the top tier retailers in North America. One of the most significant benefits of Costway is their free standard shipping on all items. Not only that, but if our customers have received a damaged item, they are entitled to a guaranteed 90-day exchange or return period, which is all conducted through their excellent customer support team. On the flip side, dropshippers can be at a little bit of a disadvantage when the items are shipped out with the Costway logo. There are a few dropshippers who wouldn't like their customers to know where the package came from. Costway also offers an appealing VIP membership program, but unfortunately it's not compatible with the dropshipping program. Our next supplier coming in at number five is Banggood. Banggood is a China-based supplier with various warehouses situated around the US. With low pricing and various product categories, Banggood is another great US dropshipping supplier to use for Shopify. Banggood is dropshipping friendly, and in their dropship center, you'll have access to product recommendations, cashbacks, images without watermarks, and so much more. This supplier also offers dropshippers special programs. This includes professional product videos to optimize from, affiliate programs, coupons, or a refer a friend incentive. At the same time, Banggood's warranty policy is flawed, and there's no warranty on certain products. Along with this, their return policy is somewhat complicated, and there are no free returns. Lastly, they have a lengthy repair process for faulty items, and it is probably one of the top complaints from customers. Coming in at number six on our dropshipping supplier list is Overstock. So Overstock is known for their high quality products, and primarily sells products within the home goods and furniture niche. So not only does Overstock provide high quality products at a fair pricing range, but they also offer a price match guarantee, which essentially means if you find the same product at a lower cost, then Overstock will provide you with that lower price. Another benefit that sets Overstock apart from other suppliers is their club zero program. This program allows dropshippers to opt for free shipping on all orders, along with their 5% cashback on purchases. Along with free shipping, Overstock guarantees fast delivery times. With a shipping speed of one to two days, your customers will be over the moon, and you'll be able to reap the rewards. You should consider adding multiple suppliers to your list if you're looking to sell products that are outside of the home goods and furniture niche. Although if you're new to dropshipping, starting with a specialized niche can help to kickstart your sales. Coming in at number seven is CJ Dropshipping, designed by dropshippers for dropshippers. One of the unique things about CJ Dropshipping is their product sourcing solution. This allows you to put in product requests if you cannot find what you're looking for. CJ Dropshipping also performs quality control for each item before it is shipped out, ensuring our customers receive only the best quality products. CJ Dropshipping offers a POD, Print on Demand solution, which allows you to customize certain products. And even better, with their wide label branding options, we can package our products with our store logos, which increases our brand awareness while scaling our business to new heights. The downside about CJ Dropshipping is that their user interface is not as user-friendly as other suppliers. Also, even with US warehouses, CJ Dropshipping has very limited shipping carriers, which can cause great concern if we're promising our customers quick delivery times. I've added a YouTube video to the pinned comment down in the comments below, and this video entails a full overview of what you can expect when using CJ Dropshipping as your supplier. Next up on our top supply list is Walmart. If you're selling to the US market, then you cannot go wrong with choosing Walmart as your Shopify dropshipping supplier. Walmart is known for its discounts, great prices and overall deals. There will also price match products to make sure that we're optimizing our profits. All we have to do is get into contact with Walmart's customer support service. Once we've done that, we need to notify them that the price I dropped after our purchase. They will then send us a refund for the difference. There is such a vast selection of products that you're able to offer to your customers, and not only that, we can guarantee them next day delivery. The only downside when using Walmart as your dropshipping supplier is that there's a lacking payment options. We're kind of just limited to standard payment methods, and no PayPal payment option. Up next on our top supply list is Etsy. If you're looking to sell vintage, handmade, or custom made products, Etsy is definitely the way to go. So not only does Etsy allow us to choose from a wide array of unique products, but they also allow us a competitive advantage because we're selling on a more personalized note. We can benefit from high profit margins by selling such creative items due to their above average pricing and custom made details. Etsy sellers also offer free shipping within the US, which is perfect for our target audience. However, because Etsy is not our typical supplier platform, we can run into a slight bit of issues. There are over 2 million individual sellers, so return policies can differ from seller to seller. With all of this being said, Etsy is still a relatively new dropshipping supplier. Therefore, it's best to start slow and gradually climb with them to avoid any big issues from arising. Coming in at number 10 is Amazon. With what once started as an online bookstore, Amazon has exploded in its growth and is one of the most prominent e-commerce players out there. It is estimated that Amazon accounts for 43.5% of US e-commerce, making them of course one of the most appealing marketplaces to source from. With Amazon Prime, we can benefit from fast and free shipping. Some products are even offered with same-day delivery within the US. We can also guarantee 30-day product returns without reasoning or restrictions when we opt for an Amazon Prime account. Amazon has 110 warehouses in the US alone. This gives us the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of products whilst guaranteeing our customers reliable delivery. Because Amazon is a selling channel and not a direct supplier, we must ensure that we read the reviews of each product before we decide to dropship it. Our dropshipping supplier coming in at number 11 is Costco. Costco is a large US wholesaler known for its membership club and low prices. Unlike the other suppliers we've seen so far, Costco actually profits off their membership fees rather than their product sales. Being a Costco member means having over 20 product categories to choose from and having access to unique products due to their wholesale business model. This in turn means that we can earn higher profits by buying Costco products at discount prices. Another beneficial thing is that we can offer our customers same-day delivery, especially since our target market is in the US, we even have the option to provide our customers with two-hour deliveries when using Costco. Also, if there are any issues with shipments, returns, or the quality of the products, we can rely on Costco's customer support team to resolve these issues for us within minutes. Although Costco offers fast shipping, the free shipping option is limited to orders over $75. On the same note, if you're using PayPal as your standard payment method, you might want to find a different wholesaler or opt for a different payment method as Costco does not support PayPal. Coming in at number 12 on our top supplier list is Sam's Club. Much like Costco, Sam's Club is exclusive to members only. When signing up to this membership, you can benefit from cashback rewards, savings, and so much more. With specific attention to the US market, Sam's Club is an excellent choice if you're in search of a low-cost and reliable wholesale supplier. By signing up for a Sam's Club membership, we gain access to the following, multiple product categories, free shipping, 2% cashback on qualifying products, and exclusive savings. However, just like Costco, Sam's Club does not offer PayPal as a payment method. Coming in at number 13 is Home Depot. Home Depot specializes in the homes and gardens as well as the home improvements niche. One million out of two million products offered at Home Depot are available for free two-day delivery. And just like the previous suppliers mentioned in this video, Home Depot also offers a price match policy. If you qualify as a tax-exempt shopper, you can save up to 5% on purchases from Home Depot's tax-exemption program. All you have to do is fill in your tax-exempt ID number when registering online and just wait for it to be approved. The only negative side when it comes to using Home Depot as a supplier is their return policies. Their return policy strictly states that customers are responsible for their return shipping expenses. This means that we have to fork money out of our own pockets to pay for these shipping expenses unless, of course, Home Depot is at fault. Coming in at number 14 on our top drop shipping supply list is Target. Target is the eighth largest retailer in the US, offering 45 private labels, ensuring that there's something for everyone. Target offers various niches and is known for their high-quality items with products ranging from fashion to home decor and so much more. If you're looking for exclusive deals, then Target's special Red Card program is definitely for you. So what does this program exactly include? Free two-day shipping and additional 5% discounts and extra 30 days to the already impressive 90-day returns policy. The only negative connotation of using this supplier is that they do not provide any drop shipping perks. So if you're looking for a drop shipping supplier that offers specific drop shipping support, this may not be the best supplier for you. Our second-last supplier is Lowe's. If you're looking for a supplier that specializes in home improvements, then Lowe's may be the supplier for you. The great thing about Lowe's is that they offer fast and efficient shipping, and unlike other suppliers, they also provide customers with the option of three various shipping methods. However, what makes Lowe's stand completely out from the supplier crowd is their unique offerings. With Lowe's business credit cards, you are able to receive a daily 5% discount, discounted deliveries, and so much more. If you're not ready to take on another credit card, don't worry, you can opt for Lowe's pro-loyalty program instead. So what does this pro-loyalty program include? Personalized offers, spending, tracking, purchase history, and specialized tools that help us to manage our business efficiently and effectively. Lowe's also offers a protection plan. This protection plan ensures an extensive product warranty, no additional fees, no deductibles. Despite Lowe's multiple shipping options, many items are not eligible for Lowe's standard shipping, which means we'll probably end up paying higher shipping fees. Last but not least, our final drop shipping supplier, which is Printful. Printful is an on-demand printing and fulfillment company that allows us to design custom products using print-on-demand drop shipping. Print-on-demand is a process where we work with the supplier to create customers' products and to sell them pre-order. Working with Printful means selling products worry-free as they handle everything from the order fulfillment to the shipping process. We can offer more customization options to our customer when working with the supplier. With print-on-demand, the emphasis is on the on-demand, meaning there's no need to lose money ordering in bulk. Printful also takes care of all the technicalities, so there's no need for us to buy printing equipment. However, just like any other drop shipping service, print-on-demand requires us to put our full trust in the supplier. Thus, we lack control in the fulfillment process and the quality control of the products themselves. Seeing that we're working with a third-party service, we need to give special attention to our return policies. And we've finally reached the end of our top drop shipping suppliers list. Don't forget, in order to run and scale your Shopify drop shipping business successfully, you need a drop shipping automation tool. And this is exactly what we at AutoDS are here to do for you.
