Beltal.com Reliable Drop Shipping & Wholesale From China

Beltal is very similar to DHgate.com in fact the navigation and layout is very similar although nor identical. They also feature many of the same products & seller as DHgate.com Beltal offer a 'price match guarantee' which is handy if you find other similar products on the Internet they will match this price. Although I haven't yet tried this function it is a good addition. I have found with Beltal they have a slightly less diverse range than DHgate.com but having said that they do offer some items in abundance that DHgate.com do not sell so much of. Items such as musical instruments, DJ equipment, Sporting goods etc. Beltal also offer Escrow payments so you know your purchases are safe. For more info on Escrow see my last post about DHgate.

I have been trading with drop shippers and wholesalers alike on Beltal for over a year now and personally I haven't had one negative experience. The only problem with drop shipping from China I have found is goods to the UK can take anywhere from 10-15 business days to be delivered (by EMS) if you want quicker delivery there are options for Fedex & DHL but these services will cost you considerably extra on top of your purchases.

What products sell well? Personally I have found that ipod & iphone accessories sell very well, be it a ipod shuffle or a iphone 3GS, any accessories for any items that Apple sell do tend to sell better than most other consumer electronics, but this can change overnight as market forces & habits change. EBay is a good place to start to discover with a little research what products sell well & which do not sell so well.

DHgate.com Drop Shipping & Wholesale From China

DHgate.com is a Chinese based selling hub, where factory owners & individuals advertise their goods. They are very good for shipping pretty much anything. But what I will say now, is if you are after branded Mobile Phones (Cell Phones) then you are probably going to be disappointed. Many people when they first start out in wholesale think that they can pick up iPhone & top spec Nokia's like N95's & N97's for next to nothing. These items are very strictly distributed & you usually will need a retail store in which to sell such items. So don't expect to pick up a IPhone 3GS for $150 each. However, there ARE some sellers on DHgate that sell Blackberry phones that are the real deal. I have also seem some genuine Nokia & Samsung models although these are usually mid-spec models. As with all trading online use common sense. If say a Nokia N95 is being advertised at $99 new, boxed etc. then you can rest assured that it will probably be a copy or a clone of the original.

Apart from consumer electronics DHgate has provided me with some good products that I have successfully been selling online for along time now. One of my favourites to sell on are the 'As Seen On TV ' range. This range is huge & you usually find this items on 'infomercial' channels like QVC here in the UK. You can buy Slap Chops , FURminators , Snuggie Fleece Blankets , Slendertone System Abs , Nicer Dicers.. just to name a few. There are literally hundreds of products you can sell from this range & the prices leave plenty of room for any profit.

If the above are not for you, well, there are thousands of other items you can sell on at DHgate, these include: Wedding Dresses, MP3 Players, Clothing, Kitchen Fittings, Home & Garden,
Sporting Goods.. there is anything for anybody on DHgate to get you started in selling online. Even if you are a market trader or do Car Boot sales, you will find some great items to sell on for a nice profit. Another good thing about DHgate is that almost all the sellers offer 'drop shipping' services, and there are also many 'factory sellers' whom sell direct from the factory thus cutting out the middle man & making you more profit.

More great features on this site include $2 items with free shipping included, a clearance zone, new arrival zone, 'most wanted' categories, 'whats new' zone, and much more.

I haven't spoken about what payment DHgate accept, so here we go. DHgate offer 'Escrow' payments on EVERY purchase. Escrow is a payment method where by you pay DHgate for what ever item you have purchased and they then release the payment to the seller when the item has been successfully delivered to you or your customers/clients. They accept Paypal, Google Checkout, Bank Transfers & Western Union. I always use Paypal & Google Checkout for obvious reasons.
