It all sounds too good to be true, huh? Probably.. But searching for a suitable and reliable shipping companies to partner with – that’s the tricky bit.

Let’s start with arguably the most popular one in the list.

9 best dropshipping suppliers for your e-Commerce business 1

AliExpress is an online platform connecting international buyers from all over the world to small businesses in China. It’s sometimes compared to Amazon, but it’s more similar to eBay, in that both individuals and business can offer their products on their site.

Curiously, AliExpress doesn’t allow buyers from mainland China, and doesn’t allow businesses or individuals who are non-Chinese to sell on their platform.

Some of the stores in their platform have limited information available, so you’ll often have to rely on their store rating system and reviews by others who have ordered from them.

AliExpress does offer buyer protection though; but in general, refunds are only given when shipped products are not received or if the product received is different from advertised in the case of high-ticket items like jewelry and electronics. No returns, no exchanges, no warranties.

Summary:

  • Product range: 100 million+ products; categories include clothing and accessories, cellphones, laptops, consumer electronics, jewelry, home and garden, luggage and bags, shoes, maternity and baby essentials, health and beauty, sports and hobbies, and many more
  • Payment: Accepts Visa and MasterCard, as well as other payment methods, but does not accept PayPal; has buyer protection
  • Required sales volume: None, but VIP membership available in three tiers for members having accumulated purchases greater than $999 within a 90-day period
  • Customer service: Customer help center with 24/7 live chat option; no email, no phone number, no US address
  • Return/refund policy: No return policy; limited refund policy
  • International reach: Ships to 237 countries and territories; some suppliers offer free shipping
  • Others: Well-established in the industry, and thus plenty of articles and resources are available online
