Can anyone recommend a REAL drop-shipper?

    I'm looking for a pure drop-shipper to provide only the following services:
    -Warehousing
    -Shipping
    -Inventory Management

    NOT Doba, Shopster, MegaGoods or any of those sites that would have you sell their overpriced goods at no profit - they suck.

    I would like to know also :)
    Most dropshippers online are either scams or as you say the price point they set is too high for you to making any decent money.
    Those online dropshippers are already set up with their systems, infrastructure and will build in all kinds of costs which will leave little margins for you.

    May be better to source offline and build your own dropshipping arrangement ...research and contact these manufacturers directly to talk..can find many of these manufacturers from marketplaces like Alibaba. :)

    I like Doba, although as you said the inventory is not great. However, they have just recently made some hugh improvement on this.

    I use MagenPro with my magento store to pull products from Doba and sell them. Magento obviously gives you more inventory management features (So i still win). and because MagenPro does all the work for me all i have to do is spend time marketing and promoting the products with high mark-ups.

    Doba is better than all i see so far.
