How can customers receive all their orders at once from different suppliers?

[Jackson_yoong]

If let's say I open a niche store on Shopify. And customer he/she buy 3 products from my store. But all three products are from different supplier. So, the customer will receive all the products separately due to ship from different supplier? Is there any way to allow customer receive all the products in once instead of separately? Targeted market will be USA, Canada and some Asia countries.

Hi @Jackson_yoong, 

That's an interesting question! With dropshipping, you rely on product suppliers to also ship your products. If you use more than one supplier then they will all send individual packages to your customer.

Of course, you could bulk order products to your own house or warehouse and then ship them out yourself at the same in the same package, but that kind of defeats the purpose of dropshipping and increases the wait time for delivery.

The far simpler option is to simply notify your customers in advance that they may receive the different items in their order in different packages and at different times. You can include it in your store policies or you could add it to your product descriptions.

In the meantime, what kind of store are you setting up? Do you have a business plan and marketing plan in place? Do you know who your target audience is? Do you know what your USP is?
