Benefits Disadvantages Is dropshipping for you?

1.
Customer A places an order for a water bottle on FancyWaterBottles.com and 
immediately receives an email confirmation of the purchase.
2.
After a few hours to a couple of days, Customer A receives a notification that 
their order has shipped. The notification includes tracking information so 
Customer A knows exactly where their package is while en route.
3.
Customer A receives the water bottle.
It’s the same process you’ve gone through each time you’ve 
purchased anything online. This seems basic, but there are two 
important aspects of this experience.
First, it’s simple. All the customer has to do is order the product and pay for it. 
Everything else, like an order confirmation email and tracking information, is 
handed to them on a silver platter.
And that brings me to my second point: convenience. 
The buying experience
is 
extremely convenient in every way. An online purchase takes just minutes to make, 
and customers can browse any retailer’s site at their leisure. And if all goes well, the 
customer won’t even have to interact with anyone. It takes the minimum amount of 
effort to achieve the desired result of getting a product.

1. What Is Dropshipping?

This experience is a lot like buying a water bottle at a big box store and using the 
self-checkout. It’s a no-fuss process that doesn’t present any problems. This is a big 
reason why people buy online in the first place, so your storefront has to give your 
customers that same level of convenience.
Last but not least, the customer should never notice that any other parties besides 
the retailer are involved. Think about it. When you buy something online, you think, 
“I bought a water bottle from Fancy Water Bottles.” You don’t consider where the 
retailer got the product or who might be shipping your order.
