How to Find a Dropshipper Wholesale Source Without Being Scammed

It's really easy for anyone looking around for a dropshipper wholesale source to get caught up in some elaborate online scam. These scammers are clever and once they have your money, there is often very little you can do to find them, never mind get your money back. So, before you waste your money or your valuable time, read on.

Researching online, you can find many dropshipper wholesale sources, all promising great items at rock bottom prices.

Here's How You Check Them Out

"If it looks too good to be true, then chances are it is!" - stick that someplace you will see everyday!

1) Any legitimate dropshipper wholesale company will have contact details on their site. Call the number and see who answers the phone. Is it answered in a business like manner or casually? Call the number several times, at different times of the day to see who answers. If it is answered outside of normal business hours by a child or grandma, it could be a scammer working out of their home rather than the business man you're thinking of doing business with.

2) On the same note, look at the physical address on their site and look it up in the yellow pages pertaining to their country - you can easily do this free of charge online. If the address isn't listed in the yellow pages, ask yourself why.

3) Further more, once you're satisfied that the physical address pans out and the phone number leads to a genuine business, then you really want to think about getting on a plane or getting in your car and going along to meet your contact at his business premises.

4) Also, does your dropshipper wholesale source accept safe methods of payment like credit cards, PayPal or are they using easy to set up and move on payment methods where you have no protection whatsoever?

Now, don't for one minute think that any of this is all OTT. If you're going to source your own leads, then there's a ton of work that you must do if you're not going to lose your money.
