1. What Is Drop-Ship?
     Drop-Ship is common among the Electronics retailing business. Drop-Ship means a reseller instruct their wholesale counterpart, who may be located in a duty free zone, to ship out orders according to the reseller and delivering directly to their customers. The reseller does not actually take the job of stocking, packaging and shipping.
     Wholesale on the other hand means buying products in bulks and get a discount from it, then retailing it one at a time to make a profit. This is the conventional way of retail business.
     With the internet kicking in around the world, Drop-Shipping does make sense after all. Most drop ship services only exist hand in hand with the internet so no one will know that you don’t keep an inventory on-hand.
 
2. How to Drop-Ship with SDSHOBBY.COM?
     SDSHOBBY.COM allows drop-ship orders for all registered customers.
     There are no additional charges.
     Just order online the same way as usual, but add different shipping addresses.
     We always check carefully (for fraud prevention) if the shipping address is different to the billing address, so if you are a new drop-shipping customer, please make sure that your PayPal account is verified.
 
     We do not include cec publicity materials / invoices etc when we send drop ship goods, so it protects your reputation as a seller. They will not know the source of your goods, and they will not know the price that you paid for it.
 
     If your customer has technical support issues, or wants to return a product, they will have to discuss this with you first because it’s your account with SDSHOBBY.COM.
 
     Please note that if there are import taxes to pay, you will have to pay this when you receive the goods from the courier. So if you're drop-shipping, your customers may 'unexpectedly’ have to pay 'extra charges'. 
 
     Please note it's your responsibility as the cec buyer / drop-ship vendor to find out information about taxes and inform your customers. Although of course we will do whatever we can to help you minimize the tax burden if you have special packing/ declaration instructions
