There are so many Dropship companies that I don't have a clue about which one to choose as a supplier. Are they all about the same or are there ways to decide which ones to use?

Yes, you'll find many Dropship companies listed on the Internet and it becomes very difficult to choose one when you have so many options. When you'll search on the Internet, according to my experience, you'll find only the address and contact information about the company.

When you find the contact information, I would suggest you to contact them and ask for more information about the company and the charges for the service. Also, if possible, try to find reviews of the company or try to contact someone who has already delt with the company or is currently dealing with the company so that you find the right company.

Thank you Joseph. I will try that, but I have one more question. How do I find people who have dealt with that particular dropship company? Should I ask the company for referrals? Can I trust the company's hand picked referrals? I know I said just one more question Hammering

Yes, you can ask the company for Referrals. If you find the details of the Referrals then you can contact them or you can also try to meet them personally which would be a better option. Also, if they'll provide you information about one Referral then they'll surely provide you information of some other. Try to get in touch with the Referrals.

Some of the companies do not provide information about their clients due to privacy policy. Hence, If you do not find information about their clients then I would suggest you to find more details of the company and if possible, try to meet the owner or someone else who is related to the company. Try to contact them several times before you choose them which would give you a better idea about the company.

IMO, the companies would not provide the referrals due to the privacy protection. So try to find related reviews.
and sometimes though they provided you with certain referrals, it is possible that these are not real. So you need to meet some related stuff for more detais if you really interested in their service.
