Drop Shipper Wanted

[pressurewasheroutlet]

Has anybody had problems allowing others to drop ship your products.They usually will say, "Please do not include pricing or invoices" Or that the item is a gift.

We do not include any invoices anyway.

It's a good source for extra business.

I have people drop shipping our items on Amazon and other sites.

Some sellers are from over seas,

Drop shipping is a very poor and risky selling platform.  If you are not familiar with it, I suggest you ship your items yourself.  Too many things can go wrong and they usually do.  Overseas sellers are notorious for many negative issues concerning DS and that could jeopardize your account permanently. 

Happy Selling

You misunderstand the OP. They are referring to them being the source of the inventory for others to sell on these sites.

Personally I don't care. I'm sure I have a few buyer that do this with my listings.

I have no problem with it.  More sales for me.

Don't include a invoice or receipt in the box?    No problem.  I don't anyways.

I just don't include my regular "thank you" card.

     Personally I don't care and would in fact have a hard time telling if another seller was drop shipping my items. How can you determine if in fact somebody is drop shipping an item or they are simply sending it to family or friends?

     I suppose if you found the other sellers listing and they had hijacked your post word for word and simply raised the price that would be one indication but still why does it matter.

Most sellers don't disclose to the buyer what they are doing. As for Amazon goods that someone drop ships they tend to use aqualine tracking to cover this up and I leave negative feedbacks for this. The tracking is never accurate and it many cases I don't even know it is out for delivery. I've just been lucky that the amazon driver shows up when someone is around. You can search for Aqualine in the buiying sectoin and see for yourself what a headache this is. The last thing that was dropped shipped for me was delivered on July 17, but the tracking number from aqualine was held in limbo for a long time.

On eBay, while sellers are allowed to use drop shippers, it has to be a real drop shipping company.  Seller's are not allowed to just pass the order to another retailer.   Not sure of the rules on other sites like the river. 

From other countries it's even worse. You could get into the middle of the triangle scam.

Ebay does not enforce any rules related to drop shippers.  I've run into this problem many times.

Short answer: you can't (nor does it matter, really). Buyers can have their purchases shipped to anyone of any other name. It's not really dropshipping if the seller knows nothing about the circumstances and has no drop-shipping arrangement with the buyer. All he knows is that someone bought his item and wants it shipped to the given address.

Okay, that message saying "Please do not include pricing or invoice" does sound like someone who's reselling your item to someone else, but that's nothing to do with you. (To be clear, they're really talking about not including a Packing Slip, not an invoice, because an invoice is a demand for payment, and they've already paid.)

I include packing slips in all my shipments regardless, as they're backup shipping info in case the outer label gets defaced or obliterated, though I use the Gift format that omits pricing anyway, because doing so reduces the depth of the packing slip enough that I can then fit the Shipping label on the same piece of paper.
