Is Dropshipping Safe?

Most dropshipping items can be shipped direct to the customer in about two to three weeks. However, many customers are used to next day delivery and this long delivery time can increase concerns among customers. Therefore, you need to inform the customer and ensure there is tracking on your orders.

Tracking allows the customers to find out where their order is. This is really important as it can save you time from having to deal with customer queries. In addition, you can complete test orders to see how long it does take.

There are some traders on dropshipping sites that aren’t genuine. These people can cost you money and ruin your reputation. Therefore, you need to spend time vetting the suppliers of your products to ensure that you can trust them.

You can also check their reviews on independent sites, with other dropshippers and on social media. There is going to be lots of evidence about particular practices. And always remember, if an offer sounds too good to be true, then it often is.

Your credibility is at risk when you’re in business. If you have a business that has a bad reputation and it goes under, then you might find that any future job search you do is going to be tarnished by your bad references. This can be really bad for your future career.

However, if you ensure that you’re working with the right suppliers and you’re helping customers out as much as possible, then you can have a great reputation. And even if your business does fail, then you can be sure that a good reputation in your business can serve you well.

Even if you do continue with your business, a bad reputation can harm your revenues. It takes 40 positive reviews to improve the damage done by one negative review.
