My Dropshipping Journey with AliExpress

Hi Yaros, and nice to meet you. I read your post time ago and singed up to this forum just to ask youwhen can I buy yuor plug in?

I would like to try in on my store

How can I reach you?

thanks in advance

Kind regards.

 

Feel free to contact me on Skype: yarosnevsky

 

Very nice journey! following this now. By the way, most of your sales are coming from instagram shoutouts?

 

I would say that most of my sales are coming from social media promotion.

 

I currently dropship and use shopify as my platform..in shopify, when someone buys my product on my website, I manually order it on aliexpress and ships it directly to the shipping address of my buyer, though I believe there is a shopify app that can do this automatically but costs a lot

 

Yes, there is a special tool for Shopify, that costs $30/month. I have tried it and I liked how it works.

 

Nice! anyway, I would really like to try your method on instagram and thanks alot for this

 

Hi yaros,

Nice to meet you. I been looking for a better dropshipping way online and i found your post. It is a brilliant idea and i went to your website. It looks great and i was very impressed with your strategies.

Do you mind i ask you something about the shipping cost? Let me describe one example. For example, I found one items selling at your website with $12.99. And i went to Aliexpress and found the items sell only $0.99.

Of course, with Aliexpress free shipping services (China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus), it can avoid the shipping charges but the shipping times needs between 15-34days. This shipping time is same for using China Post Registered Air Mail but with additional $1.44 shipping charges. If go for EMS, the shipping charges increase to $19.08 and it will takes only 4-10 days. For DHL, it need $37.40 to reach in 3-7 days. However, i cannot found any options to choose what kind of shipping services i want.

May i know how actually you solve for this shipping issue? Is it you will choose free shipping services for all the orders came in?

If you can share this with me, i will be very glad. I really hope that you can give me some guidances... Thank you. Cheers~

 

I select only the products that have free shipping option to add to my store.

 

May i know is it you use Wordpress to develop your website? I saw you stated "The site was developed from scartch"... Ehh.. what is scartch? A programming language or a ecommerce platform? Thank you..

 

I am developing on WordPress using Java and PHP. From scratch means from the very beginning without utilizing any previous work for assistance

 

Thank you for clarify. Your guidances are very good! I hope we can keep exchanging idea in the future.

And i wish your business keep growing. Cheers!

Hi yaros,

May i ask do you have any photos how the Aliexpress parcels look like?

Hopefully they wont stated which company send out the parcels or any informations related to Aliexpress....

As i dont want to let my customers know the products they purchased is from Aliexpress otherwise they wont be return to the site again.

Thank you~

 

Generally, there are no any signs of AliExpress and prices on packages. However, sometimes sellers from AliExpress include their business cards in the package. Anyway you can always send a comment with your order asking your seller not to include anything. The sellers on AliExpress have a clear idea about a dropshipping business model and will be happy to assist you.
You can use following sample text:
‘Dear seller. I work as a dropshipper. Please, do not mention Aliexpress and your return address and don’t place your business card into the package. We look forward to continuing and further developing our cooperation with your store. Thank you!’

 

Have you experience before for any shops in Aliexpress disobey your instructions, and put their any contact information or card inside the parcel?

Or have you try before send one or two parcels to your home and see what they usually pack in the parcel?

Thank you.

 

I am ordering from AliExpress regulary for myself and rarely find any additional information in packages. But what is more important I have not got any complaints from clients so far, so I don't see here any problem at all.

 

Do you mind i know how many online store you running now?

I saw ur handbag website (http://marcmoniz.com/), it looks good design.. is it also using wordpress to do it?

Thank you.

 

I am running 4 stores now. I will give my report at the beginng of the next month.

 

I see. Thats is great. Will you put the report at here?

 

Yes.

 

That is fantastic. i will keep follow this post.

Wish you all the best in your business.

Thank you for your guidance and experience sharing.

Have a great day!
