    Please be aware many listing on Aliexpress say shipping from US but then they still ship from China and just say we found cheaper shipping when you contact them. I had to purchase from around 5 different suppliers before finding one that ships from US. Make sure the shipping says USPS.

      Oberlo is useless. Be aware of the paid ACTORS and so called sponsored fake gurus. You will get hurt with this method. SHIPPING from China can be 4 weeks to even 8 weeks. For inexpensive items that is why too much.

      This was not the point of the video, it was to state that Dropshipping will have longer shipping times but esentially you can get away with them as customers don't care as much as we think. If you want faster shipping the answer is to pre purchase x amounts of the product and keep them on hand which of course requires up front collateral .

    Because of shipping times, I kept getting claims on PayPal and Etsy etc because people didn’t receive their stuff so then I had to tell them it was from China and it took about two months to arrive from Ali express. Let’s be honest people will never buy again, was it worth the hassle and relying to every PayPal claim?

    Fantastic Video, thanks heaps. For us it confirms the way we dropship: Make it crystal clear what the shipping times are (product page, shipping page, order confirmation page) and be a customer service hero. i just spoke to a customer who ordered an item. Due to Chinese New Year the shipping times are even longer so I proactively ask her whether it is okay for her to still buy it. She came back, said yes and was very thankful for this proactive action.

  • @EddieKM
    @EddieKM 4 года назад +2

    I sell on ebay, amazon, fb marketplace. Dropshipping on shopify and dealing with customers is not so bad if you keep in touch and let them know what's going on with their order. You guys need to deal with people on ebay or FB, or even the crazy rules on amazon itself. Then Shopify won't seem so bad. The customer just wants to know how long it will take, if it takes a month, then write that clearly on your listing. make sure they know that it takes 30 days, don't hide it. If they buy it and understand what you told them, then they can't complain. If they do complain, try to be curteous and message back quick, assuring them that their order is on their way. The people who won't wait 30 days for the item simply won't buy it from you in the first place.

    • @Oberlo
      @Oberlo  3 года назад

      Hi there! 👋 While ePacket is still an available shipping option for some suppliers, many have opted not to use ePacket for the time being. This is likely due to the delays experienced with this particular method due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. With this in mind, you will want to look into using methods with similar delivery times and costs, such as AliExpress Standard Shipping (bit.ly/3qVHMQY). Alternatively, if you are looking to target a specific country, consider using suppliers with warehouses in that country. More on this in the Oberlo Help doc here (bit.ly/3kgeppH). 😊 -Iris

  • @ImJustinSane69
    @ImJustinSane69 4 года назад +1

    The only way to really solve this would be to order in bulk from China, and ship the products yourself via couriers. People are starting to realize that they can order themselves from Aliexpress or wish or whatever, if the shipping time is the same as what you offer. Also, I have palced a few personal orders from Aliexpress, where the order came in 20 days late, so it is not reliable at all. Sellers over there are hard to reach and do business with.

    @basedinbox 4 года назад +1

    By experience, shipping times DO matter. I have many customers saying that they don't want to wait that long (2-3 weeks).
    Then, those estimated times have to be correct, unfortunatly often they're NOT and orders take longer. This is also due to custom clearance and processing times by the local post offices.
    ePacket is only good for shipping orders to the US. I would exclude other countries.
    With that being said, I encourage dropshipping but it's note all roses!

      Hi Ali, that's a great question. 👋 The best thing to do in that situation is look at the shipping options that are available to that location. 💡 Look at the shipping prices and estimated time for delivery, and if it works for your store you can use it. 💪 If not, I suggest finding the same product from another supplier and checking out their shipping options. I hope that helps. 🙂 -Kitana

    How do I explain these shipping times to my local customers? Why would it take that long if your local? Why don’t you have these in stock at shop?
    The answer is because we are to small and can’t afford to purchase a wholesale amount. We need dropshipping to get the funds to stock.
    How does one handle a local shop in a small town with a drop-shipping website that’s nationwide if not global?

    The truth is, that 90% of the dropshippers “hide” their shipping times so customers don’t even know they have to wait for ages for their product unless they really start digging on the webshop. They also outsource their customer service so they don’t have to deal with all the complaints themselves.

    • @lukehorvat4043
      @lukehorvat4043 4 года назад +17

      that's just not true as this causes high refund rates which leads to payment providers holding your money and suspending their payment gateway services to you, leaving you with no other options. Dropshippers must address shipping times regardless if it looks good or bad or else ur risking the entirety of the whole store.

    • @bizzynow2
      @bizzynow2 4 года назад +7

      I am not saying you can’t find shipping times, you can but most of the customers just don’t realize they are dealing with a dropshipping store until they start wondering why it’s taking forever to receive their item. They contact customer service, then find out its taking at least 2 weeks for their product to arrive. As a customer here, you’ll have to return the item in order to get a refund and once the item arrives, they probably don’t return it. Customers also won’t buy again from another dropshipping store because they feel scammed. Not only because of the shipping times but also because they find out, they just bought an overpriced item from AliExpress. The businessmodel is getting a lot of negative attention here for this reason. Also Facebook seems not to be too happy about it, as they are blocking ad accounts like there is no tomorrow.

And the whole idea for drop shipping from overseas is the low cost. US suppliers are more expensive and have less product choices. Please stop the nonsense. Shipping is a real problem in the real world, where there is real competition.

      Hi, there! There's no set number of apps that you should install before you launch your store, however, there are a few I recommend. Oberlo, of course, if you're running a dropshipping store. AliReviews (bit.ly/2uCcWVZ) or another review app to build trust with your customers. Also, an email marketing app to communicate with your audience easily, I love Omnisend for this (bit.ly/2RiJv2Q). Take a look at Shopify's Essential Store Launch checklist for more tips on launching a successful store (bit.ly/2P2Yo9G). - Dani

    Hi, I’m newish to drop shipping and at first I almost let shipping times scare me away. I have made a few sales in my store, but I need to learn to generate traffic. But, I don’t know how to let my customers track their shipments. Won’t they think it’s weird if they see it’s an e packet? What website do they track it on? Or is there a way they can track it from my site?

    This is something that aliexpress must fix not the dropshipper. This is 2020. Shipping needs an overhaul in global ecomomy and ecommerce. Customs has to be cleaned up. Even Ebay helps when customers want a refund even before their item arrives - even in my listing it says handling 5 days and shipping is 1 -3 weeks. and no refunds as it is health and hygiene underwear/swimsuits/gadgets they still want Amazon time and warranty coverage. They just do not read.

      Hi there! 👋 I completely understand the need to find dropshipping suppliers outside of China, as it would also tackle the shipping time issue at the same time. I am happy to tell you that AliExpress does offer dropshipping products from their warehouses outside of China, and you can import those to your store through Oberlo just as easily and fast. This help document will guide you step by step on the process - (bit.ly/2O2zi9o). You can apply the same process for any other country available. -Iris

      Hey there. EPacket is not available for many countries anymore. Try using alternate shipping methods instead. The shipping methods offered largely depend on the supplier and some suppliers have decided not to use ePacket as it's not as fast as other shipping methods they might offer. 🙂 -Rio

    Hey guys, thank you for all the useful information. I have a question. I just opened a Shopify store and am in the process of finalizing everything before starting with my ad campaing. Do I have to choose one target market to sell (such as ONLY the US) or do I have the option to choose multiple markets to which I can sell products through one Shopify store I have? If it is indeed possible, how do I set up my store to include various products that I can sell to different countries (eg. US, France, Italy, The UK ...) Thanks for your reply and stay healthy!

I've ordered over $250 worth of test products (that I'm currently waiting for) but all shipping times are longggg. The earliest is closer to 4 weeks. Help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    • @Oberlo
      @Oberlo  3 года назад

      Hi, David! 👋 The suppliers won't necessarily know you are dropshipping unless you notify them when making an order. You can do so by leaving them a note upon checkout at AliExpress. To avoid adding the same note for each order, you can add a custom note in Oberlo settings visible to all suppliers for every order. Follow this guide under the 'Custom Note' section to see how to add this note (bit.ly/3kJcEkP). I hope that helps! 😊 -Iris

    I am newbie to dropshipping. My suppliers only offer Sunyou shipping method. And in other video you said that other than epacket shipping take longer and should avoided. Should I choose other suppliers who do epacket or current suppliers also fine? I have contacted current suppliers and told me that they used to epacket shipping before but had their product return due to the reasons that liquid( teeth whitening gel) was not allowed to ship via epacket method

  • @thelucksboutique1768
    @thelucksboutique1768 2 года назад

    Hi, there. I still think the shipping window for most is about 5 business days up to 10 which is too weeks. After that an order will be called rancid because the assumption is its been in traffic and travelling for more than 10 days. So somehow, I do think that there are logistics issues and problems that go unresolved since waiting a month for an order to arrive is also testing the customers patients and risking such things as wellness. Again, keep in mind the products are travelling for 2 weeks. This also targets memory, while with automation none will forget and everyone is tracking...guess what, they will not order more than one product from you even though they trust you because its much easier to visit a local store and include that on a shopping list and then do the running around. The whole issue with shopping on the internet..is we want the product soon, I'm not gonna do the running around etc..but after waiting two weeks...sorry, people will go back to running around and perhaps spend more even though it may be an inconvenience or its not out of the way. In otherwords, people will skip the running around to have more free time...but if the travel and shipping is longer...they go back to their old more convenient routines which excludes the online shopping.

    I have watched all your videos and they helped me a lot. However, since I opened my store, I have not received any of the products my clients orders not mine. So, I decided to test our warehouse in the USA. I order five different products to see how fast I could receive, paying more but to make my customers happy. April 21st, 24th and 26th. Today is May 2nd. nothing has been received. I am trying to avoid dealing with Chinese people and just deal with USA warehouses. This is a great disappointment, how can I continue advertising and spending so much money , when my first order by my customer was on 4/2/2020 and nothing is here yet?
