Topic summary

Main issue: A first-time dropshipper using DSers (an AliExpress dropshipping app) wants a smooth, user-friendly setup but can’t restrict product searches to a single supplier. The app shows identical products from multiple suppliers, making supplier vetting for each product tedious.

Concern: If not limited to one supplier, multi-item orders may incur high combined shipping fees and arrive in multiple deliveries, risking a poor customer experience.

Key questions:

  • How to efficiently limit product sourcing to one reliable supplier within DSers (or otherwise streamline supplier selection)?
  • What are recommended practices to minimize shipping costs and consolidate shipments when items come from different suppliers?

Status: Seeking guidance; no solutions or decisions presented yet. The discussion remains open with unresolved questions about supplier filtering and shipping-fee management.

Hi all,

I am working on my first store and I want everything to be smooth, user friendly etc., but I am having a couple of issues/queries that I am struggling to figure out or find a solution to.

I am planning to be using DSers to dropship from AliExpress, but in the app I can only search for a product, and can’t find a way to limit my search and product pool to one supplier. I am being shown the same product from different suppliers on the app, and it feels very tedious if I were to check the reliability and dealings with each supplier for each product.

On the other hand, if I were to abandon the idea of having my shop sticking just with one supplier, I am worried about my customers having to pay horrendous shipping fees for multiple-item orders and having them delivered in several deliveries.

What is the most efficient or recommended way to get around it? As a drop shipping fresher I feel like this is a rookie question but I am struggling to find a clear answer to it.
