 In the previous lessons, we spoke about the 6 criteria for finding a good product to sell. We spoke about how to search and find successful Shopify dropshipping stores. And before we move on to the next lesson on product research of how to find the best products that are selling within those stores and in others, we need to make this small lesson in the middle and it's a very important one of how to find the best dropshipping suppliers to work with in our stores so that our products will ship out really quick and so that we can get very good customer support in case of item cancellations and returns. We want to streamline the whole process, we want everything to be working smooth within our business and we do not want to deal with unsatisfied customers and other subjects that will simply cause our business to stop growing. Many people are dropshipping from Chinese suppliers, which is totally fine, it's a very good working method, the items are very, very cheap when they're coming from China, but there are a few problems when working with Chinese suppliers. The first one being that their shipping times are considerably slow when compared to US suppliers. The second problem is on returns and order cancellations, they usually want proof of if the product arrived damaged, show us pictures, if the product is not working, show us how it's not working. So there's usually a lot of ping pong with Chinese suppliers, return shipping is also usually not free. So the customer on the other end is just unsatisfied and he just wants to get this thing over with and he'll probably not buy from you again. But when working with US suppliers, this is usually a different situation. The returns process is usually a lot easier and the products ship out much faster. Most of the customers receive their products within a week. Let's get on with the list and start talking about the best dropshipping suppliers that you need to work with in your dropshipping stores. So the first supplier that I want to recommend, a lot of people are not working with the supplier yet, but this supplier is on the rise. It's a huge online marketplace with a lot of sellers inside of it. And this supplier is called Etsy. Let's see what Etsy is and what it's all about. So here's the main page of Etsy. Once again, it's a huge online marketplace and it's on the rise. Let me show you guys Etsy stock to show you exactly where this platform is going. So as you can tell in the past year, there's a huge rise. If we take a look at the maximum real quick, you can see that Etsy has been here for a few years, but only in the last year was there a huge significant rise. If you look at the last year, in the last one year, you can see that the stock was around $45 in the beginning of this year. And today one stock is around $130, which means it more than tripled its stock just this year. A lot of people are using Etsy to buy products from. A lot of people are using them to source their products for their dropshipping stores. And as you can tell, they have a whole bunch of categories. It's very easy to find something that you need for your store, for your niche, or to get product ideas. For example, if you go inside the listings, you can see that there are product reviews, free shipping. There's also high ticket prices, which you can make great profit from, but not in the beginning. We're going to go for lower price items. But as you can tell, there's a great selection. Go ahead and browse around Etsy. I'm not going to go into it too much because I want to keep these videos very, very short and very, very informational. So Etsy is the first one on the list. They're browsing them now and check out all of the stuff that they have. If you ask me, they're going to get very close to Amazon size in just a couple of years. So go ahead and start working with them before your competition does. The second supplier that I want to recommend to work with on your dropshipping stores is Amazon. On Amazon, there are tons of products. You can find anything and just about everything on Amazon. I'm sure that you've browsed them around. I'm sure that you've heard of them. I'm sure that I don't need to get into detail of what Amazon is all about. But if you sign up for their prime account, you're going to get free shipping on all of their orders instead of the $25 minimum. All of the products will ship in in the first couple of days and the products will arrive within the first week of the order. It usually takes about three or four days. And if we go back to Etsy for a second, if you go inside each product, you'll also be able to see how long it takes for the items to ship. So let's just go inside this product listing really quick. If we just scroll down, ready to ship in two to 10 business days shipping from the United States. So you want to find products that are shipping from the United States. Two to 10 business days is not good in this particular example over here. But if we just click on another product, for example, this picture over here, once again just scroll down and see how long it takes and where it's shipping from. This is a good example, one to three business days from the United States. It's very easy to find these products. You have the reviews. So using Etsy is really, really easy. So on Amazon, if you have the Amazon Prime membership, all of the Prime products will ship in the first couple of days and the customer will get his product within that same week that he ordered the product. The third US supplier that I want to recommend that you guys work with on your dropshipping stores is Walmart. A lot of people are also dropshipping from Walmart. This is nothing new. But the products are refreshing really, really fast on Walmart just as they are on Amazon. So it's another huge marketplace with a lot of sellers inside that are selling their products and you can benefit from it on your dropshipping stores. So Walmart is the third option that I want to recommend to you guys. And I only want to recommend one more supplier for you guys to work with because I don't want you guys to get too confused in the beginning. I want you to focus on one supplier and then two suppliers and then maybe three suppliers at the most. If you're going to work with five or maybe even 10 suppliers, you're going to see that it's not going to be beneficial. It's very, very confusing and just very complicated. Work with two or three suppliers. It's more than enough. So the last supplier that I want to recommend that you guys work with, this is the fourth supplier. It's a supplier called Banggood. Many of you have heard of it. Many of you haven't. This is a very dropshipping friendly supplier with warehouses in the U.S. and also in China. So when you're searching for a product, for example, cat toys, when you get the search results, you have your ship from. Click on that and choose only United States warehouses. Now you can see all of the cat toys that they have from United States warehouses. Do that on each and every one of your searches. And there you have another supplier with thousands of products in U.S. warehouses. So those are the four dropshipping suppliers that I recommend that you guys work with. Go inside each one of their sites right now, especially the ones that you guys haven't heard about. Learn about them. See how fast they ship their products. Make sure that they're shipping from the United States. And this is where you're going to find the best dropshipping products to source with the best shipping times and very easy and convenient customer service. So we have Etsy, we have Amazon, we have Walmart, and we have Banggood, the top four U.S. suppliers to work with on your dropshipping stores. Bookmark them and in the next lesson, we're going to learn about how to find the best dropshipping products in the Shopify stores that you spied on the last lesson and new methods of finding more products that are selling well in other stores. That's it for this lesson. See you in the next one.
