Hi, thank you for clicking! I have a question for drop shippers:

If you’re launching a furniture product, and you have a option to find manufacturing in China which is cheaper with high profit margins but longer shipping times, or a manufacturer in Mexico offers faster shipping but lower margins, which option would you choose? (Target Area: USA)

I’m uncertain about relying on manufacturers in china because of how long ocean freight takes & due to potential tariff wars between China and the USA that are soon to come after elections. How would you approach this situation for an eCommerce product?

The key to drop shipping is to test how good your supplier really is! People can tell you anything you want to hear, but the proof is in how well they actually perform!I suggest you try the Mexican supplier. Have someone you know place a small order, and have it shipped to them. That way you can
find out how quick they actually are, how well the goods are packaged, the quality of their product, etc. Good luck!
