If you’re just getting into dropshipping you’ve probably realized that AliExpress can be a huge pain in the ass. Too often sellers send the wrong items, give you bad tracking information, send very low quality products, or never ship your items at all. My favorite AliExpress moment was spending $10 for US shipping on 25 different orders for a seller who claimed to have a warehouse in the US, only to have my orders shipped from China in 6 weeks. AliExpress cannot be trusted!
Luckily, the Zendrop fulfillment service is taking away all of the things that cause major headaches while dropshipping.
Zendrop, re-branded from Silkroad, is a dropshipping fulfillment service that offers business owners the highest quality products, reliable shipping, US warehouses, and easy product imports. Zendrop fulfillment takes all of the headaches away from dropshipping with AliExpress. Since I made the switch to Zendrop I haven’t received any customer complaints relating to missing or damaged packages. Each order arrives on time within 5 to 7 business days with the express USA shipping option. If you’re dropshipping using Shopify, you no longer need the Oberlo app to import products from AliExpress into your store. Zendrop is the top alternative to AliExpress, and here’s a few more reasons why:
- Simple – Everything you need is located on the Zendrop dashboard and using their one click technology allows all tasks to be done in an instant
- Easy Import – Only reliable suppliers with high quality products and fast shipping times make it to the Zendrop dashboard. The platform makes it easy to browse through product categories using different filters to find products you one to sell with the click of a button. You can learn more about using their tools for product research from this previous post.
- Real Time Analytics – Zendrop syncs with your Shopify store allowing you to see important data like revenue, product costs, advertising budget, and more straight on the dashboard
- Fast Fulfillment – Orders from your Shopify store are fulfilled automatically or with one click of the button allowing you to create a fully automatic store.
- Reliable Shipping – Zendrop offers express US shipping as well as fast international shipping. Unlike AliExpress, your orders will make it to your customers doorstep so you can just sit back and relax while letting Zendrop do the work
Zendrop offers a free plan to dropshippers who want to test their fulfillment services. Their free plan also allows dropshippers to wait until they’ve tested and found a winner before paying for the full Zendrop fulfillment services. The free plan allows you up to 50 orders per month, unlimited product imports to your Shopify store, access to US suppliers, and most of their other services. Scroll down to see the full list of services offered by their free Starter Plan.
I highly recommend serious dropshipping businesses to purchase the Zendrop Pro Plan for $49/month. The Pro Plan offers ecommerce businesses with their full range of fulfillment services. Pro Plan users will get unlimited orders each month, express shipping in 5 to 7 days, 24/7 express customer support, fully automated order fulfillment, and much more. Besides the express shipping, the best service offered by the pro plan is their product sourcing. If you find a product that you want to sell that isn’t already in the Zendrop database, they will find a reliable supplier and source that product for you!
Moral of the story stop using AliExpress! Zendrop offers a reliable way to dropshipping like never before. Along with the highest quality products, they offer the most competitive prices for their users. The free plan leaves no excuse for you not to make the switch today for your dropshipping business!
