FREE DropShipping

You Sell......We Ship......You Profit!!
Buy directly from us only when you sell the item...No Inventory for you keep
No Minimum Orders....No Monthly Fees......No Membership Fees

 

1. What exactly is dropshipping?
If you are just beginning in the online business and don't have the money or the space to maintain an inventory, "dropshipping" might be the method for you to obtain extra income. This sales method allows you to begin your own business without any risk or startup cash.

Drop Shipping is the process by which you have us ship orders directly to your customers without revealing that the order was shipped by our site. This method allows you to sell items without the expense of carrying inventory or warehousing.
You simply place items for sale, either through online auction sites (eBay, Yahoo, etc.), or on your own website. Once you make a sale, you collect payment from the customer and then forward the order to us. We take care of all the shipping arrangements for your customer. You are free to sell our items for whatever price you like. You make money on the difference between whatever price you decide to charge and the price listed on our site...leaving you with pure profit and no overhead (shipping, warehousing, etc.) expenses!

This is a great way for you to increase profit margins as it saves you on the initial shipping charges you would incur if you had to have the order shipped to you first for you to send to your customer. It also allows you to start your own business without the need or expense of stocking your own inventory. All orders we ship use the return address of "A1A Customer Service". This makes you look as though you are a large corporation with your own fulfillment center. It also ensures that should the customer need to return any items, or the package is undeliverable, it is returned to us so we can issue you an immediate credit. Your customer will not see our company name or phone number on any material. Drop shipping enables you to offer a huge variety of products without the expense of keeping your own inventory.

List it on auction websites or on your e-commerce website.
Remember this is your business so be sure to have included the shipping fees. It is up to you to accept the payment method (credit cards, checks, money orders or paypal).

Fulfillment: After you obtain sale through an online auction or your e-commerce website. Simply log into www.a1awholesale.com and add the item(s) to your shopping cart. Once you've selected the item(s) for your purchase, you can proceed to checkout. There you will be prompted to enter the customer's information in the "SHIP TO" field.

2. What exactly do you charge for shipping to my customer?

UPS Ground (5-10 Business Days)
$6.95 for orders under $50.00
Orders above $50.00 pay 15% of the order's total.
Example: $100 order pays only $15 for Shipping via UPS regardless of the weight of the order.

We charge $6.95 for all orders under $50 shipped to any address regardless of the weight of the order.
Orders above $
50 pay 15% of the total order.

Please note that we do charge a $2.50 Handling fee on all orders UNDER $100

See here for complete information on Shipping Fees.

Please note that we do not charge a drop shipping service fee, only standard shipping charges apply.
We DO NOT include prices on the packing list enclosed with all shipments. 

3. Can I use your products and descriptions online or on auction sites?

Yes!! You may use our product pictures and descriptions on websites or auction sites.

4. What are the benefits to dropshipping with A1A wholesale.com?

There are a variety of benefits towards running a dropship-based business:

  • No overhead for inventory
  • We ship using the name "A1A Customer Service" so that your customer cannot trace the order back to us. They will think that you shipped the order.
  • They DO NOT receive prices. They will only get a "packing list" with part numbers and descriptions.
  • No expenses or hassles in shipping (we take care of all the packing and packaging supplies)
  • Supplement your existing web site products (add our products to your website to bolster your online catalog)
  • Get paid upfront before forwarding the order to us
  • Work from anywhere (As long as you have an internet connection, you can sell product! No need for a physical storefront or warehouse space)
  • No cost to you...just collect the profits!
  • No membership fees or minimum order requirements!

5. Are there any risks involved?

Since our inventory can change frequently, you just need to make sure that the product is in stock when your auction ends or your customer makes a purchase. Several of our products are available at all times, while others are true closeouts...once they are gone we may not receive that item again for a while.

All of our products are covered by a 30-day money back guarantee, so if your customer is not satisfied for any reason they can simply return the item for a refund. We ask that you always email us asking for an RMA number prior to any refund. Refunds without an RMA will NOT be processed.

6. Once I've sold an item, what do I do?

  1. Collect payment from your customer (usually via credit card, Paypal, check, money order).
  2. Come to A1A Wholesale.com and order the product(s) that your customer purchased.
  3. In the "Ship To" section of the order form, enter your customer's shipping address.
  4. Enjoy your profits!

7. If there are any problems with my order, who does the customer (or I) contact?

All of our products are covered by a 30-day money back guarantee, so if your customer is not satisfied for any reason they can simply return the item for a refund. Simply email sales@a1awholesale.com for return instructions and a request for a refund. Once we receive your customer's package we will issue the refund. Please note that shipping charges are non-refundable.

8. Do you ever contact my customers directly?

We do not contact your customers directly. You build your own customer base through your hard work promoting and selling, so we will never try to solicit sales from your customer or inform them that we are your source for products. The only information we receive about your customers is their shipping information, which is confidential and never shared or sold.

Our company name does not appear on anything that will be exposed to your customers, including invoices, products, warranties, or packaging materials. All orders are shipped using "A1A Customer Service" to ensure we are shielded from your customer.


9. Do you offer bulk discounts?

Yes! Many of our products have bulk discounts available...simply check the item descriptions for products that have discounts for purchasing in quantity. For bulk discounts all items must be shipped to the same address. This works best for offline retailers (store owners, flea market vendors) or people looking to purchase via traditional wholesale.


10. Do you dropship internationally?

At this time we only dropship to a valid US address.

Remember, YOU collect the money from your customer, then you order from us, and you keep the difference. It's that easy!
