Dropshipping

Dropshipping is a method of retail where the seller does not have a physical inventory of the items they sell. Instead, when a customer makes an order, the drop shipper purchases the item from a third party and ships it directly to the customer.

Dropshipping eliminates some of the biggest expenses and hassles of doing business online and it makes getting started in e-commerce possible with a much lower investment. This can work well in conjunction with a personal e-commerce website, as well as online selling platforms like eBay or Amazon.
