Delivery when selling from multiple suppliers

Delivery when selling from multiple suppliers

I am trying to start my dropshipping up but am finding it difficult to get all the products I want from one supplier. For this reason I have added products from multiple suppliers.

 

My question is, if a customer buys 4 products from from me for example, all from different suppliers, will each product arrive at different times and in separate packages? 

is there anyway, besides solely buying from 1 supplier only, to get products to arrive or be delivered to the customer together?

 

thank you 🙂

Hello @mollytww

Yes. The shipping time will be different.

Hi @mollytww ,

Since suppliers have their own fulfillment workflows, inventory availability, and other factors, it's unlikely you'll get all orders delivered at the same time. However, this usually isn't an issue as customers are used to that. For example, if you buy something from Amazon, it's often shipped from multiple locations in multiple packages. Hope this helps.

You can find an agent in China to help you, they have warehouses to collect goods from different suppliers and repackage them to your buyers. This way the buyer can receive the goods together

Hi! Any recommendations on how I could go about finding an agency to help me do this?
