I don't think many factories can offer the drop ships service.
They are not for retail business. They prefer to ship the goods in containers, I mean ship at one time.Save times and efforts.

My suggestion is that finding a company to work with you based on drop ship, they can store your orders from the factories in their warehouse and inspect them and when you give them the orders, they will drop ship to your end buyer directly by courier.

I worked with my Australia buyer like this for two years. He sell small machines on ebay. I help him to collect the orders from the factories, inspect them and make dropments by courier when i get his orders from the ebay buyer.

If you are interested in my service, you can contact me for details.

If you want to know me more, you can also read many of my posts on alibaba forum like:

I am going to add to what Jas has said.
Here are a couple of points for you to think about.

ANY manufacturer is going to want a solid order of X qty of the product... They are NOT going to produce 1 or 2 or even 50 units at a time for you...... PERIOD!

That leaves you with hooking up with a trading company instead in Asia (where I am assuming you think you are going to get this stuff from).... This is certainly an option as they may be able to source the products you wish to sell in small volumes because of their contacts in Asia... BUT they are not going to give you a true wholesale price. what they will give you is a better than retail price is about all.... You also have to allow for how good their customer service is as far as shipping quickly/ checking addresses/ checking quality of the individual item etc.

So in actual fact that "deal" you are trying to find is a load of BS. You ARE going to end up paying close to retail if you want a good product with good service attached to it!

As an example..... I am a wholesaler in the US of certain products. Will I do dropshipping for you? Possibly, assuming you are a 'for real" customer...However, no way this side of * am I going to give you my wholesale prices... Since you want to buy from me one piece at a time I am not going to be hugely interested in your potential custom. It is work for me to go into my inventory after receiving a notification from you to ship product xyz to person Q. You ARE going to pay me for my time and energy, no 2 ways about it.......HOWEVER, if you decide to BUY some of my products, I AM going to give you a wholesale cost. All you have to pay extra is the cost of the shipping to you inside the US. My work is done at that point. YOU can then sell it online at whatever price you want, meaning that the profit then goes to you, not 1/2 to me for doing your shipping for you.

and yeah my difference in margin is about 15% between wholesale and dropship. and that does NOT include the faact that for every parcel I ship on your behalf i AM going to charge you shipping PLUS a handling fee, a cost you will have to pass on to your customers.

So think long and careful about dropshipping. As a general rule you are better off buying outright in small qty's and keeping the margin for yourself.

and anotherpoint. anyone dropshipping from overseas for you IS going to have to clear customs every time or the risk of NOT paying duty will fall squarely on YOU (and avoiding customs is a fine, a criminal prosecution and jail time!)

Make sure that you find the one that 100% trustable, in fact, manufacturers can not benefit you, they are happy with big orders only, if you are just selling by retail, you would than complaint their service.

During your selling, one consumer may buying two products but in two factories, if you have the one representive specially for this service, than he can collect items from two suppliers and combine it to send to your clients. from combination of parcel, you can also save on courier cost.
