Our ranking criteria starts by showing the how high the particular company ranks overall on a scale of zero to ten. This is just a basic ranking to give you the gist of what to expect from the company and we will do our best to tell you why we have chosen that ranking over the course of the review. The overall rank section also provides a quick review of the company, without going too far into depth.

The more products that are offered by a company, the higher score the company will get in this section. This, of course, also depends on how well the products sell, as there is no point in trying to sell a large quantity of products that consumers do not want, but selling products that many other retailers are already selling can also make things difficult. Therefore, this section is largely based on having a large number of products that will sell.

We will not take the world of the public as the truth, but if there is a lot of negative information out there on a company, some of it is probably true. We will give a company a rating based on other reviews that we have found out there because you should know about the experiences of others, rather than just the experience of our reviewers.

The product pricing is also ranked out of five stars, while being compared to the prices at Amazon.com. This is extremely helpful because you must be able to sell products for less than the large companies like Amazon.com in order to make money in this industry. If Amazon does not carry some of the products that we are reviewing, we will visit other sites to find a basic price of the merchandise. As a rule, the cheaper you can sell a product for, the more units of that product you will sell.

This is important because all of these companies claim that they will give you the proper support, but not all of the companies offer the same level of customer service to you. You will want to make sure that you can communicate with a live person whenever you need to and email, while convenient, is simply not good enough in case of an emergency. This section will show you exactly what kind of support you can expect from each drop shipping company.

This section will show you how easy a service is to sign up with and use. You must choose a company that will make placing orders, tracking these orders, getting the orders shipped out to customers, and everything else that is involved with this business as fast and easy as possible. You will have enough to worry about on your own without having to worry about what the shipping company is doing with your orders, you check out the reliability ratings of each company before signing up with one. None of these companies will be completely pain free, but it should also not be like pulling teeth every time you want to place an order.

Any company that accepts PayPal will be much faster at transferring money, since PayPal can get the customer’s money to you and your money to the drop shipping company much faster than any other method. Once again, PayPal will make your business run much more smoothly, as it speeds up the entire selling process.
