POD versus Dropshipping

What is the biggest advantage to dropshipping instead of using a POD ?
For both the business owner and consumer ?

Thank you :folded_hands:

Dropshipping usually offers these advantages over POD:

  1. Wider Product Selection – You can sell anything from clothing to accessories, electronics, and home goods, rather than being limited to customizable products—usually restricted to products like t-shirts, mugs, and phone cases.
  2. Potentially Higher Margins – Bulk-manufactured products from suppliers are often cheaper than POD, leading to better profit margins.
  3. Faster Shipping (Depending on Supplier) – Many dropshipping suppliers offer faster fulfillment than POD since custom items take longer to produce before shipping.
