let me confess to you my unfair dropshipping advantage what's poppin
people it's your boy the Beast of ecom and I am back with another video dropping
nothing but you already know value bombs so in today's video I'm gonna confess to
you my unfair dropshipping advantage that I have over a lot of other drop
shippers especially new drop shippers who are coming into the game however I'm
not just going to tell you what it is because that would be a bit boring and a
bit showing off so I'm gonna show you how you can actually obtain this unfair
advantage for yourself if this is the first time ever watching one of my
videos down where enough have you been a drop nothing but it's same value on a
weekly basis to help you guys out with e-commerce drop shipping Shopify and all
of that good stuff so make sure you like comment and of course smash that
subscribe button and be sure to hit the notification about as well sorry stay up
to date with all of my latest content so what exactly is my unfair advantage
well about eighty-five to ninety percent of the volume that we do through our
drop shipping stores does not come from Aliexpress
so you may be thinking we're enough to the products come from then well we have
suppliers and ages inside China who can source the product at a cheaper price
provide better processing times and get the product to the customer at a faster
time so I'm going to show you exactly how you can go out and find one of these
agents and the steps you need to take this is probably one of the most
valuable videos that are put out because if you do want to scan up to those big
numbers and stay consistent then you cannot do it whatsoever without having
one of these people on your team Before we jump into that I'm doing a comment

below I'll be picking someone at total random to receive that money so let's
quickly talking let's jump straight into the video and start learning how you
guys can crack on with this okay so let me explain what it is my unfair
dropshipping advantage is that I have and of course I want to talk about how
you can copy it as well now some
prerequisites through the to this method of course is only do this if you are
consistently making sales if you are still trying to make things work you
know if you're still just getting one or two cells here and there or you're only
doing like a hundred to five hundred dollars a day then just stick to
Aliexpress Aliexpress is still great I still test products from Aliexpress on
drop shipping stores but once you have something working in something clicking
then you want to move and get a an agent in China or a supplier who can supply
things are not quicker and a lot cheaper so what are some of the advantages that
I have what's more exactly is my unfair advantage well first and foremost I get
a cheaper price than Aliexpress which means one of two things I can either
have more of my margin I can make more profit from getting a product cost
cheaper or I can out price the competition if everyone has having
something at a certain price I can impress it I can under price it and
undercut the market while still retaining that same profit that I would
have had previously if it was at the same price of Aliexpress of course you
get reduced processing times now with Aliexpress if you order through
Aliexpress then what happens is you have to pay and then it's like a verification
for payment then there's the processing time which can be anything from three to
ten days and then they actually send the products out so you get that shipping
time as well we've of course having an agent
you literally export the orders and things are processed generally within 24
hours 48 hours max better payment terms I pair an account now so you know with
Aliexpress you're always kind of pain up front you say off front but you collect
the money from the customer however now of course I can generally pay on a
weekly basis so because my supplier would ship out all of the products for
the whole week and then you know with the stripe payouts PayPal payouts and
stuff like that we can generally just then just settle a bin at the end of the
week which is great of course for cash flow better shipping options so some of
these guys have direct lines to certain countries which means you get the
product the customers get the product a lot quicker with shipping lines they do
offer a packet but they're if you want to pay more then you can get a direct
something that's called a direct line faster
back in obviously you get your tracking numbers a lot quicker more quality
control as well because you're a directly in contact with the agent who
supply and all your products you can ask them for photos ask on what packaging
they're gonna be sending in all these sorts of questions and of course easier
resends of returns so you know if you're doing things from Aliexpress then you
have to kind of do like a dispute and then getting the money back takes time
and if something's broken and blardy blardy blar if you're in contact with
the supplier over an agent who can buy you stuff then it's generally easy just
to put things on a sheet say these things didn't arrive or these things
ended or broken please resend them so how can you gain this advantage okay
because I want to explain how you guys can I gain this advantage so first and
foremost you need to reach out to your current suppliers now if you're
currently and consistently making a thousands of two thousand dollars a day
then you should really reach out to your current supplier who you're purchasing
from you want to tell them you want to tell them you want to give them more
orders okay that's what you want to do you want to give them more ordered by
moving away from Aliexpress and you want to use either Excel Google Docs to
fulfill your orders Google Docs is probably a little bit more easier and
you want to incentivize them as well because remember Aliexpress vendors pay
they have to pay processing fees as well so every order that goes through
Aliexpress I believe that when I checked and spoke to people some suppliers it
was around about not 0.8% so they're getting charged those as well whereas if
you paint outside of Aliexpress they save you save it's a win-win what you
want to do of course is when you're reaching out is ask for their email
whatsapp Skype or WeChat any of those I generally personally prefer Skype
because it's it's a lot more easier but a lot of them can't get whatsapp and
email sometimes just takes long so I generally recommend asking for their
skype so to kind of do this if you would like selling this product here I say
these are these what are they makeup brushes this was the part that
we're ordering from Aliexpress we can scroll down here and it says contact
seller and contact now so if we click this button here and what it's going to
do is going to open up a a message box so in here of course we type in
hey my name's blahdy blahdy blah I've run an international shipping store
whatever it is I want to work outside of whatever it may be you can already see
that I'm giving you orders I can have you save money and give you more orders
whatever it may be sign it off can I have you what's up we can talk
further bloody behind a block so that was how you do that is how you would
initially reach out to your current surprise because you were already
sending them orders now the next stage of course is negotiating a better price
so the more surprise that your contacts of course the better you'll be able to
play them off against each of them now I always use my agents I've not just got
one of a line on my Jeremy rely on like two or three that way if one of them
gives me a price I say I can't hold up but he's giving me you know whatever it
may be and can you match it can you do better and then you start whittling down
a price because again these people in China are out to make money as well
however if they've got competition you know what it's like when you're going to
restoring your barter with people you just wanna knock people down and they
know that you're a person who can give them business because you're already
sending them orders now I generally like to only search for suppliers who are got
95% and up because that way you know they're kind of reliable you want to aim
for it to get at least kind of ten to fifteen percent cheaper than the lowest
prices on Aliexpress now some products that I put out and give them to my
suppliers and agents they can knock off say thirty percent twenty percent
sometimes so it really comes down and depends on the products but you want to
be aiming for at least five to ten percent cheaper anything's better than
the thing but that's kind of like the basic get them through include a quote
including the e packet shipping price no whatsoever so you don't want this the
price and then get them to add shipping on top you just say look I want the
price with the shipping included a packet nothing less because of course
you know that's the best for a full tracking so what is the next kind of
stage well the next stage is start with small orders because remember you no
longer rely on Aliexpress for their escrow service you're sending money
outside on a different platform so this relationship is very much built on trust
so start with small orders first don't rush into things and completely switch
everything Corp just in case you seem to get burned
in the backside take things slow now personally I recommend paying with stuff
via PayPal first if you get asked to say you know Western Union or bank transfer
because fees are cheaper for the supplier then just run a mile Western
Union is very much a scam fest I'm not gonna brand it a scam fest but most
scammers will use Western Union however once you've built up that trust you can
use Payoneer and I do pay suppliers via Payne air as well it is free when you've
both got Payoneer accounts I believe so once that trust has been built up you
can switch to Payoneer as well but in the first instance if you can just do
PayPal and pay via and like you're paying for products just so that you've
kind of got that you know that that charge back if anything does go wrong
now what is the next step the next step is see if they can get any other
products and this is a fantastic benefit of having a supplier based in China or
someone on the ground based in China now surprisin agents in China generally have
the first knowledge of which products are hot and you can frequently ask these
guys you know what's currently hot what are they selling what are the Sun at
what are the Sun is setting because if it's hot in China and the surprise are
moving it then you know you may get the first mover on those and there's been
multiple times when I've had a supplier you know say hey bro check this product
out they've checked me I've checked it out I've tested it and then just come on
to absolute winners so that is one way that you can find products by by
realizing with your supplier now if you have two winning products on your store
you can ask them of course if they can source it so maybe just not one you can
source two now most of my products now like I said generally coming from one or
two suppliers that is it we get better prices we get better shipping and all
these sorts of things it's gonna save you money it's gonna save you stress and
it's going to save you headaches which is of course is always always a good
thing now here are some points to consider okay with this now let me just
do the top one there we go so the more more and more Chinese vendors if you
can't find one at the start with them you couldn't supply say you know or used
to reaching out any people and they're saying no what do you do next well
more and more Chinese vendors I'm personally seen adjoining drop shipping
groups I see them all the time reach out to those guys see what they offer but
most importantly you have to be cautious at all times to start with because
depending on obviously the volume that you're doing you will be sending over
money in chunks you know you may be sending over you know 30k well to start
with it may be not 1 K 2 K in one go and you've relying on those to send your
products and tracking numbers I now I'm sending upwards of 50 K in one go to
suppliers so I have to build that trust with those to make sure that the
tracking numbers work this the customers are getting the goods and things are all
working fine but that can only come over time so do be cautious now of course
another thing you can do is ask in groups as well for recommendations some
people may be at the level that there are so people may be out living that
they're willing to share their suppliers with them if that is the case then ask
them and see who it is I'm personally not going to make any recommendations in
this video only because if I do make a recommendation and for some reason it
doesn't work out or someone gets by bitten in the ass then it's gonna kind
of look bad on me so again the ones that I use are completely private but um
there are people that are out there do aspirin I do ask for recommendations but
again always be cautious but once you've got that one supplier that is working
with you fantastically the game completely changes for you trust me and
this is one of the biggest unfair advantages that I have over a lot of
people so make sure that you are doing this once you get to that level because
I get this question quite Oh quite a lot so I hope you've got some value from
this video and go out and start looking for Chinese vendors and suppliers that
can help you gain your unfair advantage so I hope you got some value from this
