**USE EXTREME CAUTION BEFORE SUBSCRIBING**
I was considering using Brandsdistribution for dropshipping, but I found a serious issue that anyone planning to sell their products should investigate before paying for a subscription.
Their shipping information page, linked from the website footer, currently returns an error:
https://www.brandsdistribution.com/en/cms/shipping-fee
More concerning, when I attempted to place a test order to determine the actual shipping cost, I was not given a shipping price before submitting the reservation request.
Instead, the website displayed this message:
“By clicking the button above, you will submit your reservation request. Our staff will immediately forward the request to the supplier, who will verify the actual stock availability of the selected products.
Within 24 hours, you will be contacted directly by the supplier to receive the final order with:
Confirmed quantities
Shipping cost quote
Available payment methods”
For a dropshipping business, this creates a serious problem.
You need to know your product cost, shipping cost, and actual stock availability BEFORE your customer places an order. Otherwise, you cannot reliably calculate your selling price or profit margin.
If a customer purchases an item from your Shopify store and you only learn afterward what the supplier will charge for shipping, you could potentially discover that the order is unprofitable after you've already collected the customer's payment.
I strongly recommend getting clear written answers regarding shipping costs, inventory confirmation, and fulfillment procedures before purchasing an annual subscription or building your store around this service.
The product catalog may look attractive, but predictable fulfillment costs are essential for running a dropshipping business profitably.
