Leading B2B Forum Cites Steady Rise of China Drop shippers

July 7, 2011 - PRLog -- The Wholesale Forums, the UK’s leading B2B forum for buyers and wholesale suppliers, has seen a sharp increase of drop shipping companies that are coming from China. This is shown by a growing number of China companies signing up as dropshippers on the platform. China companies are realising the importance of drop shippers as they provide faster delivery times and present less of a financial commitment for cash strapped resellers. The impressive growth in numbers signals a dramatic shift of the sector from the United States, where the majority of drop ship firms like Doba and Kole Imports are based.

European eBay powersellers and online-based traders are beginning to recognise the important role a China drop shipper can play within their logistical operations. The close location to mainstream China suppliers (http://www.thewholesaleforums.co.uk/forum/wholesale-and-trade-forums/) that local drop shippers benefit from means that they can react quicker to any changes to product specification, resulting in shorter lead-times and early adoption of new technologies. More importantly, China drop shippers have established strong relationships with local distributors and suppliers, enabling them to meet the requests of worldwide buyers more rapidly.

Analysts from The Wholesale Forums observe that China’s drop shipping sector has been enjoying double-digit growth over the last 12 months. The country’s move in encouraging local organisations delivering products such as smart phones and leather goods faster than their western counterparts means that they are more confident than ever before. This trend will likely see more eBay powersellers and Internet business owners turning to China drop shippers in the future. Chinese entrepreneurs are slowly gaining a better understanding of how the drop ship industry works, and are starting out on their own.

The Wholesale Forums is fast becoming a critical venue for sellers to meet with the right China drop shippers (http://www.thewholesaleforums.co.uk/forum/dropshipping/). It is here that they can get the most reliable sources of information straight from the drop ship providers themselves.
