Posted on October 14th, 2011. Written by Susan Turner.

The main reason of buying from dropshippers is that they eliminate one or sometimes two intermediaries from the supply chain and let the products delivered to the end customers at good discounts. The dark part of dropshipping has made the search of perfect dropshippers critical and tough. Most of the end customers do not know how dropshipping model works and what the right platforms to search them are.

Not all customers want to deal with online dropshippers. Some prefer dealing with dropship auctioneers because of the risk of competition form the sub wholesalers and dropshipping frauds. A perfect dropshipper is one who is legitimate and at the same times fulfils his promises of quality and on time delivery. Finding such dropshippers require plenty of fortitude and labor intensive research.

I am a dropshipper myself and I am suggesting three true and tried search methodologies for newbie buyers to locate perfect dropshippers.

Search on Internet:

This is a most widely used method of research due to its easiness and cost effectiveness. People just surf the internet to search their required products in various wholesale B2B directories. With many product results along with the information of their dropshippers supplying them, they select two and three. After that, they visit their online stores to know more about their quality and delivery and later on either call them or place online orders to them.

The internet research if on one hand is easy then on the other hand is risky as well. There are many fake dropshippers operating online who confiscate your money and do not deliver anything. If you are unfamiliar to prove their legitimacy before hand, get ready to face losses.

Attend Tradeshows:

Almost all the cities of a particular country hold trade shows every off and on. Specific product trade shows are also held, for instance, if you want to get hands on sporting goods or hardware, attend specific trader shows where many manufacturers and dropshippers of these products come to advertise their businesses. Here you can talk to the multiple dropshippers face to face and can decide on the spot which one is perfect for you.

Consult Embassies:

First, decide dropshipper of which country you want to deal with. After figuring out, you can ask the government agencies of that particular country to provide you a list of dropshippers dealing in your desired products. These embassies now provide excellent opportunity to locate perfect dropshippers quickly and easily. Just contact few of them and select the one, which you think is best for you.
