Drop shipping is a very good business. The OP has done an excellent job. However there are so things to note.. Dropshipping in Nigeria is still relatively new. As a result , it is quite complicated. Firstly, you will need to have a dollar account to enable you fulfill orders. My reason is that with all the restrictions on Fx, you will quickly run out using your nigerian based card. You will understand what I mean if you have high volume of sales. Secondly, you need to carefully source drop shippers. There are so many middlemen who pose as drop shippers and try and charge you some money. Authentic drop shippers don't charge any money. They are actually large warehouses with variety of products. When you place an order, they get it from their warehouse and send. As simple as that. Thirdly, you need to educate yourself about customs regulation (if you can successfully pass point 1). My reason for this is that customs can add extra cost to the goods and probably the customer must have paid so you can't go back and tell d customer(you will look very unprofessional) Having said the above, dropshipping is great. We hope to get major suppliers here in Nigeria where the concept of dropshipping can be done with the internation trade wahala in nigeria. 1 Like |

Nice writeup Op. I've been looking at drop shipping for kids items. Any ideas of wholesalers I can work with or big retailers? Also, what do you think is the best way to be up to date with the inventory of your wholesaler or retailer? |

Eleniyan15:Because it is not the full info but an eye opener. You need to think out of the box my brother. Google this keywords : Dropshiping +money? Also use youtube with the same keywords to get practical videos. There is more to learn about dropshiping than what is posted here if you want to venture into it and succeed. Good luck 1 Like 1 Share |

Very informative @op, kudos! And keep the good work up. My few questions i would like to ask: (1) Is it possible to get "exclusive rights" as a drop shipper, from a Manufacturer/Supplier of a particular Product of interest ? (2) How possible is it to effectively operate a full functional ecommerce website as a drop shipper, using your "Mobile Smartphone" (in the absence of a PC or Laptop) ? (3) Is it advisable for a drop shipper to deal Part-payment from the customer, in placing orders for Products; and balance paid on delivery ? Thanks. 1 Like |
