About dropshippers
Dropshipping is when a company (that we will call the merchant)
offers products to sell on their web site that they do not actually
have in stock. When the merchant receives an order they send the
details to the company that does have the stock and this company
will send the product direct to the site's customer. This company
providing this service is called the dropship company.
There are advantages and disadvantages of using a dropship program
rather than actually buying the stock in and then shipping it from
your own premises:
Advantages:
1. There is no capital needed so it is a great way to start a new
business. When the merchant sells a product they will get the funds
from their customer first and then will send a proportion to the
dropshipper and keep the balance as their profit.
2. Dropshipping greatly reduces risk for the merchant. Not only
do they not need to invest large amounts of money but also it reduces
the risk of buying products that do not sell or paying to much for
products.
3. The dropshipper will use their own courier and logistics team.
Large dropship companies will get better rates from couriers and
packaging companies and have more experience with ensuring a smooth
and timely delivery process. They will deal with all the packing
and despatch saving you valuable time and money.
4. A merchant who uses drop ship companies exclusively can operate
from anywhere as they do not need a warehouse and lots of staff.
This means massive savings and again a reduction in risk. If they
have a quiet month there is no need to panic as they will not have
massive bills and wages to pay each month.
Disadvantages:
1. The margins given to merchants using dropshipping services are
usually smaller than given to merchants who buy the stock outright
and ship from their own premises. This is because the drop ship
company is providing an extra service as they have to package the
order and process it that costs them extra time and resources.
2. The merchant relies on the dropshipper to keep them updated
on new products and when an item is out of stock. If the dropshipper
sells out of an item and does not let the merchant know then the
merchant could sell an item that has actually sold out. Although
the merchant can then simply refund the customer it still makes
the merchant look bad and unprofessional. One of the key benefits
of the Nitrotek dropship programme is that you will have a dedicated
UK dropship manager who will keep you updated with product news,
promotions and stock status.
The Nitrotek dropship UK program
We believe the Nitrotek dropship programme is one of the best in
the UK. We have many customers who have used dropshipping to launch
their site and then move on when they are established to our wholesale
programme. Others find the benefits of dropshipping so great that
they stick with this programme and then expand their business by
finding other dropship companies to expand their range.
How it works:
1. We provide you with our trade package containing our range of
products, dropship prices, retail prices and specifications.
2. You advertise the products on your web site.
3. Take orders and retail price payment on your site/ sales line.
4. Forward the order details to us and payment at the dropship
price. We can take payment by switch, credit card, paypal or bank
transfer although bank transfers may delay the order a day or two
until the funds reach our account.
5. We will ship out the item using our 24 hour courier service.
(All orders received before 1pm will be sent that day on a next
working day service, mainland U. K. Orders received after 1pm will
be sent the next working day.)
6. You enjoy the profit!
Nitrotek offer a big margin to our merchants and we have products
ranging from £20 to £350. Our margins are some of the
best margins given by a dropship company. A lot of dropship companies
only sell very cheap products like memory cards etc but that does
not give the merchant any real profit. It is much better to sell
a £200 product and get £60 margin than to sell a few
£8 products and only get a £2 margin on each one. Nitrotek
also offer UK merchants a reduced shipping charge of only £5
per order for mainland UK.
The products that Nitrotek sell are different to the products offered
by most dropshippers. We offer unique products that are in high
demand. If you look at other dropshipping sites you will see a lot
of the products are the same as other dropshipping sites, in fact
a lot of them are actually dropshippers themselves, buying from
the same places and do not even have the stock themselves which
causes all kinds of problems! This means the products they are selling
have flooded the market and the retail prices they suggest are unrealistic.
We guarantee that all the products we sell are brought in direct
from the manufacturers to our warehouse and that we ourselves do
not dropship from any other suppliers.
Finally one of the key benefits of the Nitrotek dropshipping programme
is that you will get a dedicated account manager. As stated in our
disadvantages of dropshipping list above one of the main traditional
problems of using a dropshipper is that you don't know when an item
sells out or when there are new products and promotions. At Nitrotek
though your account manager will actively keep you updated about
anything you need to know to keep your business running smoothly
and increase your sales.
