FAQ

Q. Why do I have to pay to join this dropship service?
A. Two reasons: firstly, to stop consumers from simply purchasing direct from the dropship site whenever they want to buy something.  Our margin is (quite rightly) vhery slim on dropshipping, and we need to protect you, and us, from one-off orders from end customers.  Secondly, it costs us a little to manage the dropshipping community, and this subscription helps us pay for this overhead.

Q. No - you need to register on this dropship site specifically.

Q. What costs are involved?
