6 Tips to Launch White label or Private label dropshipping Successfully

How Does E-commerce Work in Dropshipping?

Although they might seem unrelated, e-commerce and dropshipping are two sides of a coin that enables online retailers to operate on a shoestring budget while offering a wide variety of products to their customers. With dropshipping online entrepreneurs can forego inventory, warehousing and shipping, which makes it a very attractive choice for new businesses. In this post, we’ll explain how e-commerce works in dropshipping.

Setting up an Online Store Using Dropshipping

If one was inclined to set up an online shop and use dropshipping to handle inventory, storage and shipping, this is what would typically happen:

The retailer sets up their shop

There are myriad existing platforms one can use to set up an online shop including Shopify and WooCommerce. It’s easy to do and they guide the retailer through the whole process. Once the shop is ready product listings are added that include photos, descriptions and prices.

They find a dropshipper

Next, the shop owner needs to find a company to handle dropshipping. If they’re like a growing number of online retailers they choose E-Commerce Express. We have professional relationships with countless manufacturers, a global network of fulfilment centres and it’s easy to sync a shop to our service.

They accept orders through their online shop

Now it’s time to start taking orders. When an order comes in a copy is automatically forwarded to us. We obtain the product and have it shipped directly to the customer using custom branded packaging if the retailer wishes. The retailer also has the option of purchasing some items in advance that we will store for free for up to 30 days. Buying in advance is a great way to further expedite the shipping process.

Processing returns

If, for whatever reason, a customer decides to return a product we can process it if the retailer wishes. This greatly simplifies what could otherwise be a complicated and convoluted process if they chose to handle returns themselves.

Frequently asked questions

Check out the FAQ page of our site.

How many quotations can I request?

You can request unlimited quotations for free. Simply fill out this form and a fulfillment expert will be in touch to start the conversation on whether we’d be a good mutual fit for your business.

How long does it take to source a product?

The time it takes to prepare a quote depends highly on the product itself. We typically respond in 24 business hours, but sometimes it may take longer, and we may reach out for additional questions.

The reason sometimes we take longer is that for every product we call the factory (rather than just source on Alibaba) to verify it and ensure the best quality of the products that we are sourcing.

Do you have a MOQ requirement?

We are small-business friendly. We don’t require a minimum order quantity that you need to fulfill with us, nor a monthly minimum pick & pack fee.

How are shipping costs calculated?

Shipping costs are variable in nature, based on weight, dimensions, destination, service, and more. Each quote is customized to give you the most accurate rates possible, and takes product type (e.g., liquid product, internal-battery product), volume, and other factors into account.

Do you offer the standard packing supplies for free?

Yes, they are free! We use plain poly mailers of many standard sizes, as well as bubble mailer, tape, dunnage, bubble wrap, and shipping labels for all orders.

Do you offer returns?

Yes, we offer returns management as a value-added service. We charge for returns with a $2.00 processing fee per returned order (this includes the processing of all items in the return and is only applied to your account when the return physically arrives in our fulfillment center).

How to start to work with you?

After you confirmed to work with us, we will start with onboarding processing including software integration and SKU map-up.
Meanwhile, we assign you a dedicated account manager, order processing manager, and sourcing manager (if you are sourcing through us) to take care of your backend operation.
We will wait for your stock to arrive and then conduct quantity and quality check. And then add them into your inventory list in our system.
Once we received your payment, we will be ready to process your orders.
