Who benefits form drop shipping?

The drop ship method is ideal for retailers who wish to reduce, minimize or completely avoid carrying inventory. Such retailers pocket the difference between the wholesale price of the product (which they pay to the distributor) and the retail price that they charge. The shipping costs generally go to the wholesalers as well, because they are responsible for the packaging and the delivery of the product. Drop shipping allows retailers to opt out of operating a warehouse and paying additional employees to work there, which in turn allows them to lower their prices and compete with rival retailers. Drop shipping makes larger selections of high-quality, brand name merchandise available to every type of retailer. Drop shipping can also increase the value and the convenience of the online purchases that consumers make. Online retailers in particular may benefit from drop shipping.

This is almost bordering on spam, cos its just plugging dropshipping which happens to be your forte and wot not, which you were posting before. Il leave it though cos your sort of active and there isnt any referals and it does atleast explain it. Peace

Risky: many are scammers or don't have good customer service...

that is an appealing concept, similar to the benefit of affiliate marketing, where you don't have to have what you are selling, only the downside is greater in that you have no control.
