The Drop Ship Source
Directory
This guy (Chris Malta) is the bomb. He hosts an online database of butt-kicking Drop Ship companies and they pretty much all rock.
…Coming
back to earth now…
Seriously, his
resource of companies is current and very informative. It’s cross
referenced by product type, distributor name and contains important
stuff like Drop Ship Fees, who to contact at each Drop Ship company to
get started, and in some cases, samples of products that the Drop
Shipper offers as well as links to each one of the Drop Shippers sites.
One other very
important note, he has contacted all of the Drop Shippers that are on
his list so they are practically waiting for your phone call.
I have contacted about
25% of the Drop Shippers on in his database and am satisfied that all of
the contact information is recent and relevant. In addition, I use 6 of
the Drop Shippers from his database, and have had nary a problem with
any of them.
I have to say that
having the database provide critical information like the Drop Ship fee
really went a long way in helping me determine how I was going to
position shipping on some of my sites. The Drop Shipper site links
really help as well. If you’re looking for a particular item (and you
should because your in a niche market, right?) you can search the
database a few different ways, and you can usually end up with the exact
product that you want.
I purchased access to
the database on a Monday and by the following Saturday, there were new
Drop Shipper listings. Very Cool.
On his site, he also
offers a Free E-Book that is a very comprehensive overview of Drop
Shipping and there is a link to a real audio interview that expands a
quite a bit on the info from the e-book. Also a free-bee.
One of the
characteristics about Chris Malta is that he is a down to earth,
no-nonsense guy who just feels and behaves in an honest manner. And
frankly, the information he offers is powerful at a very cheap price
point. He charges around $70 for access to the database. Break this
down into dollars per hour. Let’s say that you’re worth $20 an hour at
your day job. That means that you would need to spend about 3 and a
half hours on the web doing research to find Drop Ship wholesalers
before his database access would become more valuable than your time.
Take it from me. In 3 and half-hours, you MIGHT find 1 Drop Shippers
that are the same quality that Chris Malta has in his database. His
database has over 500 Drop Shippers offering 500,000 products in it.
Don’t waste your time and try to do this yourself. Use the database
instead.
Chris also has quite a
few useful links to state agencies where you can register your business
and get your Tax ID number. This is a free service that he provides and
can save you tons of time. If you have ever tried wading through a .org
website looking for any specific information, you’ll understand what I
mean.
