Drop shipping is an order fulfillment strategy where products don't need to be inventoried in your warehouse. Instead, when an item is sold, it is purchased and shipped to the end customer directly from the vendor or manufacturer. Here are some cases where businesses might use drop shipping:
- They are purely an e-commerce store front and never carry stock.
- They are physically out of stock or running low.
- They sell rare items like seasonal products, one-off items or promotional products.
- The item is too big to inventory and it makes more sense to ship directly from the manufacturer (e.g. the steel industry).
- The vendor is geographically closer to the end customer and direct shipping will be faster and cheaper.
