If your wholesalers ship for you, how do you maintain branding? Do you have an agreement with your wholesalers to include your logo, and to make sure the package doesn't have any marks to indicate it came from a third party? ie Product communication in English and not Chinese.

How long does it take to ship your products?

I'm assuming your drop ship wholesaler is in China, so it'd be a 3-4 week period. Are your customers willing to wait that long?

Or do you implement a different strategy to reduce shipping time? ie. warehousing 20% of the inventory locally.

What do you use for inventory management?

wow.. thanks for the advice!

I thought of creating a drop ship business with Chinese wholesalers (alibaba), but I'll rethink that plan now.
