I see a lot of videos about dropshipping from China and using suppliers from aliexpress. While this is a viable business model, I just wanted to share my own experience sourcing from US vendors and wholesale suppliers.

So I’ve been dropshipping for around 3 years on eBay, Amazon, and bonanza (just started Shopify). I mainly source from wholesale companies and manufacturers located in the US who are able to ship the item same or next day. The items are brand name or higher quality items and have fast shipping times. So why doesn’t everyone work with these companies?

In order to purchase from a wholesale company in the USA you need to provide tax exemption documentation. This is because the companies won’t charge you sales tax and they need a copy of your resale certificate to show the government we sold something and didn’t collect sales tax because he is the one selling it retail. This might sound complicated but it’s pretty straight forward. To register for sales tax exemption and the right to collect sales tax takes very little time and in most states doesn’t cost a thing. You don’t need to register a business but you will need to remit those sales taxes to the state.

All in all, I think this is the next step in dropshipping as you get access to brand name high-quality items and have quick shipping times. You are building a business and this isn’t as easy as throwing up a bunch of items from aliexpress. I recently started selling on Shopify and I am experimenting with how it will go using wholesale suppliers but so far so good, You can mainly find these companies on Google, directories or even on Facebook.
