What Is A Dropshipper and How To Make Money from it
A would like to buy cargo D from B in China, but B can't provide D at the moment for several reasons (lack of stock, or is not allowed to have production chain in China, etc...) so B has to turn to C for help and askes C to provide the cargo. But A doesn't want to buy cargo from C directly due to some reasons (Customs delcaration etc...) So the solution is: A places an order to B, and B places an internal order to C, then C delivers the cargo to A; and the payment procedure is the same: A pays B, and B pays C.
So, under this situation, this shipmenet is called drop shipment, thus the order is named as drop ship order.
What is a Dropshipper? Many people doing small business or online business talked about this lately. Well, by all means, they are companies that provide goods to you for a cheap price. You sell there products online. When a customer buys that item, you order it from the dropshipper and they ship it right to your customer.
It is easy to use them to make money. First start by finding a dropshipper that you like. There are many to choose from. Some will charge you a start-up fee or a monthly fee. Go search on b2b webwites and pick your favorite company. Join the company and look around their business scope. Look through all of their products, choose a few product you are interested in selling. You should start with less then five until you are comfortable with selling.
The dropshipper will give you the price of that product. Now go on eBay and list the item in an auction. When the auction is over you will receive the payment and the winning bidders address. All you have to do now is order the product from the dropshipper and tell them where to ship it. They take care of the packaging and shipping. You don't ever have to see the item in person because it goes straight to the customer.
Enjoy the fact that you just made money by listing an item that you don't have and selling it. You never had to leave the computer or buy packaging material.

Drop shipper meaning:
Drop Shipping is used by middlemen and mail order firms who DO NOT STOCK INVENTORY of the products sold for future delivery through mail order, catalog and INTERNET ADVERTISING.
Middlemen send single unit orders for products to manufacturers, or major stocking distributors, who in turn drop ship the merchandise direct to the customers of the middlemen. Manufacturers providing drop shipping services can gain additional sales, shift advertising costs to middlemen, offer advertising material and reduce inventory requirements. Middlemen who initiate drop ship orders shift the risks of stocking inventory to the supply source, including storage, insurance, overhead, and personnel BY SPENDING NOTHING ON INVENTORY, until AFTER THE PRODUCT IS SOLD.
Having products drop shipped by manufacturers, allows middlemen to concentrate on sales and advertising functions, rather than stocking INVENTORY THAT IS ALREADY BEING STORED BY MANUFACTURERS. All of the costs of warehousing and the personnel needed to pick, pack and ship products are eliminated. Orders can be sent by fax or email direct to the drop shipping supply source. Small firms can compete and advertise a tremendous number of products on Internet malls, if the product supply source will drop ship. BUT NOT ALL MANUFACTURERS WILL DROP SHIP: most prefer to sell in quantity to full function middlemen who stock inventory, as products are physically shifted through the channel of distribution.

Drop shipping function:
A drop shipper is your direct link to a manufacturer and the products you want to sell, without having to find solutions to buying, warehousing and shipping your products. For a standard drop ship fee (the "handling" part of "shipping and handling" , Drop shipper will ship your products, as you sell them, directly to your customer, with your name on the packing list.
drop shipment process example:

(relationship between B & C: branch companies, ie. two independant companies which belong to one multinational organisation)
company B: seller in China
company C: seller in UK

Hello all,
I come to with the honest and most sincerity. In an attempt not prejudge any foreign countries, we are going to inform you of one company in China that you should not buy from: HOTOP TECHNOLOGY. We purchased a I9B in hopes of doing future business and the phone stop working after 3 days. I informed them of this and they said to check the book. This company gives Chinese companies a bad name.

I think the dorp ship is workable for small products, light weight, small CBM to down the air fright cost.
if your products is heavy, big CBM, the air freight cost may higger than the real value.
