One friend asked me one question, what's the meaning of "drop shipment",then I found the answer as follows:
“We are having some business websites having about 9000 hits every day.Situated in business in USA..We are interested in your products.so can you do drop shipment for us,means direct shipment for the customer in USA from your factory .
What are your shipping lines ,have you done drop shipping before?
Please send your products' rates and images in well oriented manner and with Shipping detail.”------From a client
"Drop-shipping"
Definition: An arrangement whereby a mail-order or Internet merchant accepts orders for products, and then pays a manufacturer or distributor to ship the product to the customer.
其实你的那个客户是经销商, 买了产品再卖给他的用户,他这样要求直接把货送到用户那里,目的是减少1趟运输费用啦!
是指直接交运, 在美国指批发商向制造商采购货物,但约定货物无须经批发商转运,而又制造商直接运交批发商所指定的零售商的运送方式
Drop shipment means that the merchandise would be shipped from your factory (of course after you receive payment and shipping cost) and there would be an agreement not to contact my customer inorder to conduct future business and profit.
就是用他的地址,寄给他的客户。这样他就可以卖了东西直接赚差价钱。没有风险。
