Pros of One-Time Fee Dropshippers
- One-time fee dropshippers tend to have decent wholesale prices made possible by larger, more frequent orders from their well-funded and motivated merchants.
- Larger merchant orders also mean better selection and better availability of inventory.
- The initial fee usually accompanies capable support when you’re getting started and help with any issues later on.
- Some products may even be from trusted, name-brand manufacturers.
Cons of One-Time Fee Dropshippers
- The initial fee is usually several hundred dollars or sometimes more. If this seems like too much, consider a Per-Order or No-Fee Dropshipper.
- It may be hard to predict the value of your up-front investment to the dropshipper.
Leverage a One-Time Fee Dropshipper Relationship
Do extensive research on the dropshipper. Ask their sales staff direct questions about anything not fully covered on their website. You’re going to want to find a dropshipper that is suitable for the long-term. The longer you’re selling, the greater your return-on-investment will be.
