Why Dropshipping is Better Than Wholesale in Germany?
Dropshipping in Germany is a lot more cost-effective than wholesale. With wholesale, you need to order products in bulk without knowing if you can sell all the stock you have received. Dropshipping reduces this cost to zero as you don’t need to place an order with your supplier until a customer has placed an order with you. Shipping rates are more affordable and you can do the work yourself without needing to hire employees when starting out also.
Dropshipping can be better than wholesale in Germany because it keeps costs low, allows you to ship internationally, and gives you more freedom to grow your business. Dropshipping with Oberlo gives you access to hundreds of suppliers, with thousands of products, so you can keep risk low by adding or removing products from your website if something isn’t performing well without any financial costs. With many processes automated you can focus on tasks that generate revenue.
