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.

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

We only provide this
drop-shipping service within the Continental 48 States (USA).
We DO NOT Ship International as
a part of this program.

than happy to answer your questions.
