Can you dropship your own product?
Dropshipping is a great way for you to start your own business. Instead, with dropshipping you employ the services of a third party company to produce your products. They then package and distribute them to your customers directly, meaning that you can sell your own products without even having to see them.
Can I dropship from a manufacturer?
Contact the manufacturer Since most wholesalers that offer dropshipping carry products from a variety of manufacturers, this strategy will allow you to quickly source a selection of products within the niche you’re exploring.
