We Rate The Most Popular Services There is perhaps no area of e-commerce where there is more consumer confusion than the area of drop-shipping. There are many services and directories that advertise on the web promising to be 'the source' for drop ship suppliers and information. Our crack team of editors and reviewers spent 5 weeks reviewing many of these services to find a solution that you can really use to build a profitable ecommerce business. We scored each service on the following criteria:
What We FoundSome of the information in the directories was old and out of date. This was the case for a majority of the services we tried. After compiling all of our data, we were a little surprised that only 3 services even made the cut for this review page - only 3! Why such low scores for most of the directories? There were two major reasons: 1.) Out of date listings and 2.) Lack of seller resources, research data and training. Some of the services were nothing more than a PDF document with some names and addresses - most of which were out-of-date! To sum up, there were only 3 services we could recommend. The good news was that our number one pick was absolutely a fantastic service that lived up to all of it's pre-sales claims. Here were the results:

This is going to shock a lot of people. SaleHoo normally comes in second on most review sites, but our team decided to rate them number one. Why? Simply, it's a value proposition. SaleHoo is quite a bit less than the normally top-rated WorldWide Brands and offer nearly the same functionality. You get real contacts from real suppliers on SaleHoo, along with lots of helpful resources. SaleHoo does a real nice job of keeping its database current, with new vendors being added all of the time. We were amazed at the resources and amount of suppliers that SaleHoo had in its directory. This 'sleeper' does not get the attention that some other services get, but SaleHoo has had thousands of satisfied customers for many years, a testimony to the quality of its service. If you are wanting to get your feet wet in drop shipping and product sourcing, you simply can't go wrong with SaleHoo. For value, completeness and service, this service can't be beat.

It's really no surprise that WorldWide Brands OneSource was near the top of our list. They maintain a very large database of drop ship suppliers, light bulk wholesalers, liquidators and direct importers. You cannot go wrong with using WWB as your primary source for drop ship products. Their OneSource application is amazing, with robust search and research tools. The WWB tool even evaluates the likelihood that the product you have selected will be successful in the marketplace! No other provider goes to the lengths to provide great resources and education that WWB does. Unlike many other services, WWB provides you with the actual contact information - directly to the vendors of the products. This is a very important distinction, as this is the 'acid test' to see if a drop ship source directory is truly a directory, or simply a directory posing as a middleman. WorldWide Brands Is The Real Deal

Doba is billed as a one-stop shop for those new to drop shipping. While you can run your whole business with Doba, you will find it difficult to be competitive on price, because Doba is essentially a middleman. While they are collecting a monthly fee from you, they are also charging you more for your merchandise. They do have a very nice interface and some pretty good training resources, but the bottom line is Doba charges higher prices for merchandise, cutting your profit potential. I would avoid Doba.

Our Conclusion: For our comparison, SaleHoo took the edge for providing fantastic value for a very attractive price. WorldWide Brands continues to be a leader and scored highly as well. You may pay more for WorldWide Brands services, but you do get more bells and whistles. With either program, you'll make your membership fee back within one month with the money you'll save on merchandise costs, along with your ability to offer a much larger variety of quality products - direct from the manufacturers with NO middleman markup. |
